- Description
- Author addresses the vast body of gender scholarship that continues to rely, either implicitly or explicitly, on the conceptual distinction between sex and gender. While her analysis draws predominantly – though not exclusively – on social scientific scholarship, the trends she outlines apply equally to humanistic scholarship that is organized conceptually by the sex/gender distinction.

- Description
- Much of the current scholarship on the vexed relationship between nationalism and gender, especially feminist cultural criticism and the postcolonial critique of nationalist discourses, has illuminated how women are constructed as signs and symbols of the nation or ethnic/cultural community in nationalism. As such, women's bodies often begin to bear the symbolic burden. However, in the process of examining the gendering of nationalism, these critiques translate the relation between 'gender' and nation, as one between 'woman' and nation. To complicate the equation of 'gender' and 'woman,' to offer a fuller account of the gendering of nationalism, author wants to argue that it is imperative to examine the construction of both masculinity and femininity together in the articulation of cultural and national belonging in public and political discourse.

- Description
- It has become a commonplace to describe growing Western engagement with Buddhism as a search for relief from spiritual vacuity and deep dissatisfaction produced by modernity. Buddhism in this narrative figures as either pre-modern or timeless, with Tibetan Buddhist monks and nuns in particular symbolizing an otherwise lost authenticity. The book Sorrow Mountain (Ani Pachen and Adelaide Donnelley, 2001) deploys images of 'authenticity', acquiescing to the seduction of the authentic reproduces the split between religious tradition and secular modernity and furthers the reader's desire for what must remain literally a lost cause. To avoid such vacating of anti-colonial political will against Chinese control of Tibet as well as to provide grounds for an imaginative affiliation with Ani Pachen, author argues for an expansion of feminist and postcolonial critical discourses to recognize the form of Buddhist subjectivity Ani Pachen represents.
