SUMMARY:Historical anthropology in Asia's communist highlands: Methods, Contexts, and Ethics (1)
LOCATION:Room 3.06
DESCRIPTION:These two panels revolve around germane questions of the foremo
 st interest when addressing the upland societies of Communist Asia: How can
  scholars manage to competently access information about the past? How do l
 ocal societies produce and store their story in their own terms, terms that
  more often than not are ill at ease with national and Western categories? 
 How is the memory of the past transmitted –or not – and following what logi
 c? Regarding oral testimony, who are exactly the ‘wise ones’ –or the reliab
 le ones? –researchers are routinely directed at for their interviews? How c
 an one handle the oft-reported male authority on historical information and
  how can historical narratives better reflect the different voices behind t
 he authoritative versions of those in charge? How should one cope with key 
 informants but also with gatekeepers when working with minorities under aut
 horitarian regimes? How can historical statements be addressed as situated 
 speech acts and not mere data? And how is one to capture history-in-the mak
 ing through events, rituals and performances rather than interviews and sur
 veys, including the telling of biographies and micro-stories symptomatic of
  ancient processes? If written archives are the staple of historians, how d
 o social scientists use them? Do they proceed the same way as historians, o
 r do they develop a specific method and agenda? How does archival research 
 intersect with fieldwork, and what kind of added value might it bring to it
 ? Is access to the national or regional archives restricted for political m
 otives? If so, what are the costs and the possible compromises needed to ac
 cess them? And in sheer terms of positionality, by what right can Western a
 nd/or ‘White’ scholars dig into the past of societies other than their own?
 … Facing such minefields, this double panel is intended as a guiding 
 discussion for those confronted with such multifarious and at time, dauntin
 g challenges. It is based on experiences and reflections rooted in decades 
 of work in the three Marxist- Leninist states of the subcontinent who share
  portions of the Southeast Asian Massif: China, Vietnam, and Laos.
