Byams-chen chos-rje's biography is the ninth book of his Tsongkhapa biography that he started writing in 1802. The basis was the Mongolian version that he produced from 1786-1791.

The contributions to this volume explore the theme of exchange not only from the perspectives of trade, monetary value, and economy; it also takes into consideration the religious, administrative, diplomatic and political aspects that are intertwined in the exchange of gifts and in trade activities. These perspectives are combined in their attempt to fill certain lacunae in the economic history of Tibetan societies, as well as furthering our knowledge of Tibetan social history during the period of the Ganden Phodrang government (1642–1959).
The volume covers not only a broad spectrum of perspectives on the exchange of goods, but also a wide range of Tibetan societies: the geographical scope of this volume extends from the Central Tibetan area to the eastern Tibetan-Chinese borderlands and the former Himalayan kingdom of Nepal.

Social regulations controlled, shaped and perpetuated Tibetan societies, but close analyses of these historical processes are rarely to be seen in ‘event history’ writing. The contributions to this volume explore the theme of social regulation from the perspectives of religion, politics and administration, while addressing issues of morals and values.
Covering a wide range of Tibetan societies, the geographical scope of this volume extends from the Central Tibetan area to the southeastern Tibetan borderlands and the Himalayan kingdoms of Nepal and Sikkim.

ELHN working group on "Free and Unfree Labour" by Jeannine Bischoff

O... more , the second conference of the European Labour History Network (ELHN) has taken place in Paris. Our working group had organized two sessions and a working group meeting on Thursday and it was great to see how the discussion intensified over the day. At the end, we stated that there really is a strong interest among the members of this working group to go beyond the classical conference hopping and sessions meeting and to work together and move forward content-wise. We therefore decided to organize a second rather informal working group meeting like the one we had in Amsterdam last year for next year. The meeting will take place at re:work in Berlin. Andreas Eckart, Jürgen Kocka and Felicitas Hentschke are happy to host us at their institute (https://rework.hu-berlin.de/de/aktuelles.html) and some of the current re:work fellows might join us for discussion. For this meeting, we would like to take up two topics we were dealing with during our Paris discussion: 1) Historical Semantics of Dependency: Starting point of our debate was the fact that historians working on unfree labour relations in non-European or premodern societies are lacking an analytical language derived from their own objects of study. The semantic analysis of our respective source languages and their possibly complicated translations was therefore suggested as a good starting point in order to " provincialize " the interpretation matrix coined by the modern West. Juliane Schiel presented the idea of a collaborative handbook on " Semantics of Dependency " and would like to discuss possible methodological approaches and ways of structuring the project with the group. This first part of the workshop will therefore be prepared by Juliane Schiel, Johan Lund Heinsen and Claude Chévaleyre. 2) Sites of Coercion: Starting from Marcel van der Linden's suggestion to study degrees and moments of coercion, that had been discussed extensively during our last working group meeting in Amsterdam, Christian De Vito launched the idea to turn to sites of coercion. By this concept, we understand both a specific spatial context (e.g. one city or one village) and specific institutional settings (e.g. one plantation, one factory, one household). This notion additionally invites to address the way connections among sites influence configurations of labour within each site. By using a micro-spatial approach (as recently suggested by Christian De Vito and Anne Gerritsen) and by putting these results in a trans-epochal comparative perspective, the group might develop new insights for the understanding of free/unfree labour relations across time and space. The second part of our meeting will thus focus on sites of coercion and will be prepared by Christian De Vito, Jeannine Bischoff and Giulia Bonazza. For this meeting, we would like to suggest two different dates and ask you to fill in the doodle by December 19. Please let us know which date is more convenient for you:
