> Dear Colleagues,
>
> The proposed conference would focus on Buddhist sites and remains that
> have been worked up during the last six decades or so. It would
> include both kinds of papers - straightforward ones that just report
> archaeological finds; but will also have a second part to it that
> interrogates the methodological/ theoretical frameworks within which
> archaeological work is carried out. Some of the questions that the
> proposed conference will seek to address are: how does one define a
> Buddhist site? How can one show the relationship between a religious
> centre and the lay community through archaeological work? Is it
> possible to meaningfully interpret a multi-religious and multi-ethnic
> landscape through archaeological means?
>
> The proposed conference will greatly facilitate advanced research in
> the archaeology of the region by the comparison of data from various
> parts of the Subcontinent. For the theoretical aspects it will be
> seminal to understand, for example, the development of the concept of
> rock sculpture and rock caves/ hermitages - e.g. in the second half
> of the Millennium all around the Buddhist oikoumene (lit. the
> inhabited earth) - and its reflection in the landscape of the Buddhist
> sites in the region.
>
> The Conference will be held at the Buddhist Cultural Centre, Colombo,
> Sri Lanka for 3 days from 22 to 24 August, 2012.
>
> The SAARC Cultural Centre invites all the Member States to send a
> minimum of four nominations (maximum 10 persons can be nominated by a
> Member State) from amongst the experts and academicians of their
> country.
>
> The SAARC Cultural Centre would also accept the participation of other
> experts from the region (other than the nominees of the respective
> SAARC Member States) as well as from those residing outside the SAARC
> Region provided they are able to meet their travel and accommodation
> expenses to attend the Conference. However, to facilitate their stay
> during the Conference, the SAARC Cultural Centre would assist them in
> securing accommodation in guest houses/ hostels at economic/ subsided
> rates.
>
> The participants would be required to submit their full papers before

> Reconstruction 13.2: Exploring Digital Narcissisms
> For Freud, narcissism is the investment of libidinal energy redirected
> away from objects and toward the ego, whereas Lacan tells us it is a
> failure arising from the mirror stage precipitating a fruitless and
> perpetual search for the perfected image of the self. A "healthy"
> narcissism entails an optimal level of self-regard and esteem, whereas an
> "unhealthy" narcissism can lead to emotionally destructive consequences.
> In this way, the operative "borderline" between healthy ego formation and
> reactive defense of a fragile ego construct may, in fact, be more
> pronounced of an issue in the online environment where this struggle may
> find itself trans- or superimposed.
> One of the major shifts in web 2.0 has been the facilitation of more
> participatory content via social networking sites (SNSs) and news site
> fora, etc. User-generated communication, be it synchronous or asynchronous
> in nature, has allowed for more opportunities in the area of
> self-expression in the digital Umwelt. A raft of studies and popular books
> in the last few years have indicated a tentative connection between SNSs
> and an enabling function for narcissistic self-display, aggressive
> behaviour, and the desire to maximize social capital, particularly as
> endemic to the social software architecture that allows for promotionalism
> and self-boosterism online. In some cases, there is an argument to the
> effect that such online behaviours follow trends reminiscent of the
> clinical definition of narcissistic personality disorder such as
> possessing poor object relations, the social dependency versus extreme
> autonomic reliance paradox, aggressive and cathartic exchanges in the
> online venue, the fostering of shallow connections and tributary
> relations; and other ambient factors such as the marketization of the
> online ego-identity construct, the "arithmomania" of collection fetishism
> present in the quantifying of connections as social capital, and other
> issues that may arise in the tension between the Internet-mediated self
> and the environment in which it operates. On the more optimistic end of
> the debate, SNSs as a "liberation technology" are a source of facilitating
> niche-building, information flow, personal expression, and healthy ego
> development rather than pathological auto-scopophilia.
> We invite scholarly essays to explore the dynamism that may exist in the
> rise of social media with respect to changes in narcissistic behaviours
> and ego formation. How has the digital milieu shaped, or been shaped by,
> narcissisms? How does the online ego problematize the classic definitions
> of narcissism, in addition to making any diagnostic pronouncements on the
> basis of digital communication? Scholars are encouraged to draw from the
> literature on narcissism(s), including more classic formulations (Freudian
> and Lacanian), object relations (Kernberg et al) and self psychology
> (Kohut et al) schools of thought.
>
> Suggested topics may include, but are not limited to,
>
> Cyberpsychology and online ego-construction
> Digital Ego-play and self-esteem
> Object relations
> The web as externalized id or mass subconscious manifestation
> Cyberpragmatic analysis of interpersonal communication

> encourage scholars to venture outside their areas of specialization, to
> intervene with timely responses to current events, or take the first
> steps along the way to future scholarly projects.
>
> In all cases, we encourage writings that are theoretically driven and
> empirically grounded and take advantage of our online format through
> hyperlinks, color images, and embedded video and audio.
>
> Guidelines for Submission:
>
> We accept submissions for our annual issues every September and response
> pieces for online publication throughout the year. Manuscripts should
> follow the 16th edition of /The Chicago Manual of Style./ Entire

> Ed note: Henry Scholberg and I were students under Burton Stein in
> 1960-61 and during the transition of Charles Leslie Ames' collection
> to the University of Minnesota Library, I often worked with him as a
> volunteer--while also spending hours 'shelf-reading' the extensive
> array of titles that Mr. Ames had accumulated. (Ames had become
> interested in India when he first read an account of the 1857 Mutinies and
> rebellion. His initial collection focused on the British in India, but in
> the 1950s, on the advice of the late Professor Morris David Morris, he
> invested heavily in rounding out the collection for an overall coverage of
> all aspects of the subcontinent. It was at Stein's suggestion that Henry
> Scholberg was given the responsibility for the Ames Library after its
> donation and transfer. During Henry's tenure, the Ames collection was
> supplemented by further purchases and by publications from the old PL-480
> program. When the new Wilson Library was constructed on the West Bank
> campus, the Ames was shifted to a new large section of that new building.
> Henry was a good friend
