Decoder CCP: Understanding CCP slogans, from a Tibetan perspective
Decoder CCP: Understanding CCP slogans, from a Tibetan perspective
Each entry in Decoding CCP begins with the term or phrase in English, Chinese and Tibetan. Each deploys, wherever possible, China’s official translation since China makes much effort to translate its slogans into English, Tibetan and many other languages and maintains lists of officially approved terminologies. This is the core methodology that makes Decoding CCP unique. Those official versions are the party-state performing itself, declaiming as true the perspective of the performer. It is the position of “speaking from”, which linguistics theorists call epideixis. Implicit in this speaking position is not only the right to be heard, but also accepted and believed, as tools in China’s efforts to expand discourse power. Only after listing China’s epideictic stance in three languages does each Decoding CCP entry move on from “speaking from” to “speaking to”– from epideixis to apodeixis. To speak to puts us in the position of hearers, reactive to CCP’s speaking position. How hearers hear the performative declamations of the party-state’s legislative voice is key. Neither Tibetans nor the wider world dismisses China’s propaganda as nonsense. It requires careful consideration, not kneejerk opposition. So Decoding CCP takes care not to propose counter-propaganda to China’s official propaganda. The transition from epideixis to apodeixis takes the user on a journey to see through official eyes and then through the eyes of those most targeted by CCP formulations, especially the recalcitrant ethnicities who stubbornly remain themselves and refuse to assimilate. This is a journey worth taking. It reveals multiple viewpoints and leaves users to make up their own minds as to what conclusions to draw. We can cross rivers of uncertainty and arrive with greater insight by looking both ways. This is the Tibetan tradition of worldmaking and remaking. It is how Tibetans, thrown into exile, found their feet in very different worlds. It is how the 97 per cent of global Tibetans who remain in Tibet roll with China’s new world order yet keep their feet.

China Biographical Database Project
China Biographical Database Project
The China Biographical Database (CBDB) is a freely accessible relational database with biographical information about approximately 491,000 individuals as of May 2021, primarily from the 7th through 19th centuries. With both online and offline versions, the data is meant to be useful for statistical, social network, and spatial analysis as well as serving as a kind of biographical reference. The image below shows the spatial distribution of a cross dynastic subset of 190,000 people in CBDB by basic affiliations (籍貫). The long term goal of CBDB is systematically to include all significant biographical material from China’s historical record and to make the contents available free of charge, without restriction, for academic use. That data is regularly being enriched and new biographical entries are being created for Tang, Five Dynasties, Liao, Song, Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing figures. CBDB originates with the work of Robert M. Hartwell (1932–1996). Professor Hartwell bequeathed his estate, including the first version of this database, to the Harvard-Yenching Institute which ceded its ownership. | Harvard University

Himalayan Art Resources
Himalayan Art Resources
Himalayan Art Resources features thousands of artworks from Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, India, China and Mongolia. The site presents art from leading private and museum collections, accompanied by scholarship, cataloging and interpretation. The mission of the Himalayan Art Resources website (HAR) is to create a comprehensive education and research database and virtual museum of Himalayan art: First, the website exhibits images of art from museum, university and private collections throughout the world. Second, the website documents all Himalayan art objects that are known through past or present collections or publications. Third, the database identifies and catalogues all images (comprised of painting, sculpture, ritual objects, murals, etc.). When an object image is not available for lack of permission from the copyright holder, the database uses a place card image. Book cover images are used for publications and generic place cards for collections. Fourth, the Himalayan Art Resources Inc. website owns no actual or material art. All images on the Himalayan Art Resources Inc. website belong to the individual institutions, museums, private collections and individuals that have loaned their images to the site.

Tibetan & Himalayan Library Toolbox
Tibetan & Himalayan Library Toolbox
Tools in the traditional library include interactive catalogs on computer work stations, microfilm readers, photocopiers and so forth to allow users to search and access its collections, as well as in limited ways also compile their own collections of information. Similarly, the digital library provides integrated software systems, tools, and fonts in general to enable users to work with the collections with search and access procedures considerably more powerful than the traditional library. In particular, though, the digital library goes far beyond the limited traditional tools of a library in its enabling of users to creatively interact with the digital collections and reference materials, as well as generate new user-defined collections for their own private purposes. The simplest level of functionality includes extraction of images and composing sequenced slide-shows on line, while more advanced features are, for example, the ability to make HTML pages drawing upon library resources, compile private dictionaries, create new videos from segments of existing videos and so forth. This site also provides a suite of Tibetan fonts along with software developed by THDL that enhances the use of these fonts both in word processors and on the Web. Together these tools aim to help other projects and individuals take advantage of technical work done by the Library, as well as provide a way to facilitate communication, exchange, interoperability, and project building among all scholars, students, and others interested in Tibet and the Himalayan regions. In particular, the Library is committed to developing digital tools to assist the teaching of Tibetan and Himalayan languages, literatures, environments, and cultures. The evolving multilingual capacity of the digital library system also offers the promise of a single integrated library that serves different communities with distinct language bases, as well as promote communication between them. There are six (6) overarching types of tools, all of which have been developed with an eye toward balancing the power of the latest technology against the need to reach the broadest possible audience.

Columbia Research Guide for Modern Tibetan Studies | Columbia University Libraries
Columbia Research Guide for Modern Tibetan Studies | Columbia University Libraries
The Columbia Research Guide For Modern Tibetan Studies was compiled by Gray Tuttle, Leila Hadley Luce Assistant Professor of Modern Tibetan Studies, and published for use on Library Web by Lauran Hartley, Tibetan Studies Librarian. It is a navigational tool for library patrons at Columbia University and elsewhere to access bibliographies and other noteworthy resources covering a wide range of subjects in the field of Tibetan Studies. Drawn from an extensive syllabus compiled by Professor Tuttle for his seminar “Sources for Modern Tibetan History,” the Guide in its current version is exceptionally strong in its survey of resources for historical research. The homepage provides additional links for other subjects: History, Social Sciences, Religious Studies, Language and Literature, Art, and Music. Many sections are still under development, and it is our hope that advanced graduate students or other scholars might contribute bibliographies for their areas of specialty, or suggest useful titles not mentioned here. Dr. Benno Weiner, for example, authored a critical survey of Chinese-language sources for the local histories of Tibetan areas in the People's Republic of China (PRC), while studying in the graduate program.

Göttingen Register of Electronic Texts in Indian Languages
The Göttingen Register of Electronic Texts in Indian Languages (GRETIL) is a resource platform providing standardized machine-readable texts in Indian languages that have been contributed by various individuals and institutions. GRETIL was originally intended as a cumulative register of the numerous download sites for electronic texts but has shifted its focus to securing and documenting the efforts to encode these texts. It does so by providing the contributions of varying sources and quality in an appropriately normalized way, with the minimum requirement being that full text search for each language is possible across the whole corpus without any additional conversion.

Mapping Advertising Space
Mapping Advertising Space
MADSpace (Mapping Advertising Space) was born in 2016 as a digital companion to a PhD dissertation devoted to a spatial history of advertising in modern China. It was designed to store, organize and connect primary sources or raw data (archives, printed materials, maps, photos), analytical materials or cooked data (graphs, maps, trees, tables, timelines), multimedia narratives (dissertation, published papers, unpublished essays), bibliographical references and other resources. It also includes a relational database of some 2,000 historical actors involved in the advertising industry (companies, branded products). Since then, it has expanded beyond its initial purpose to include over 950 archival documents, 1,500 printed materials, 1,000 images, and more than 700 “cooked data” to date, all related to various interconnected research interests that branch out of the history of advertising, such as market expertise, consumer culture, Americanization, the modern press and public opinion in China. It is regularly updated and enriched.
