Rajaratnam School of International Studies\, Nanyang Technological University – Singapore\nChristopher Ankersen\, Clinical Associate Professor\, NYU Center for Global Affairs\nModerated by: Amy Freedman\, Department Chair and Professor of Political Science and International Studies at LIU Post \nThis panel discussion will look at the broad question of whether changes in society are happening as a result of political manipulation from the top; or because of substantive changes within culture\, values and beliefs. \nDr. Arifianto’s talk\, titled “From Identity Politics to New Sectarianization? Political Islam and the 2019 Indonesian Election”\, will look at the 2019 Indonesian elections and ask if the polarization and divisiveness is a new and lasting feature of Indonesian society\, or if it is a function of specific electoral dynamics unique to these candidates and this moment in time. \nProfessor Ankersen’s talk\, titled “Culture in Action: The Case of Contemporary Thai Politics”\, will examine the cultural images being used to construct oppressive strictures in contemporary Thai politics and explore whether these structures are manifestations of long-standing cultural norms or if they are being manipulated from elites for regime survival. \nThursday\, November 7\, 2019\n2:30 PM-4:00 PM\nInternational Affairs Building\, Room 918\nNo registration required.\nFor press inquiries\, please contact Ariana King\, ak4364@columbia.edu \nThis event is organized by the Weatherhead East Asian Institute at Columbia University.\nEvent Contact Information:\nAthina Fontenot\n212-854-6916\naf3018@columbia.edu\n

SUMMARY:“Lost Graves and Recycled Mourning Sheds: How the Late Koryŏ Elite Took the Drama Out of Afterlife” A Book Talk with Juhn Ahn”
DESCRIPTION: \nPlease join us for a book talk with: Juhn Ahn\, Associate Professor of Buddhist and Korean Studies\, University of Michigan \nEvent Blurb: Two issues central to the transition from the Koryo to the Choson dynasty in fourteenth-century Korea were social differences in ruling elites and the decline of Buddhism\, which had been the state religion. In this revisionist history\, Juhn Ahn challenges the long-accepted Confucian critique that Buddhism had become so powerful and corrupt that the state had to suppress it. When newly rising elites (many with strong ties to the Mongols) used lavish donations to Buddhist institutions to enhance their status\, older elites defended their own adherence to this time-honored system by arguing that their donations were linked to virtue. This emphasis on virtue and the consequent separation of religion from wealth facilitated the Confucianization of Korea and the relegation of Buddhism to the margins of public authority during the Choson dynasty. \nRead an interview conducted by Ross Yelsey with Dr. Ahn here: http://weai.columbia.edu/weai-author-qa-juhn-ahn-buddhas-and-ancestors/ \nAbout the Speaker: \nAuthor of Buddhas and Ancestors: Religion and Wealth in Fourteenth-Century Korea (University of Washington Press\, 2018) \nThis is a Center for Korean Research Lectures and Panels event. \nNo registration required. \nFor press inquiries\, please contact Ariana King ak4364@columbia.edu. \nCosponsored by: The Academy of Korean Studies\, Seoul Korea; the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures \n
