In this presentation, revisiting Wa history and society, I suggest an<br \/>\nalternative understanding which requires dispensing altogether with the notion of primitive<br \/>\nheadhunting, which I think is a recent, and misleading, idea. I argue that headhunting, is \u2015<br \/>\nlike the opium export trade\u2015a recent historical phenomenon contingent on the integration of<br \/>\nthe Wa into a larger regional system, likely only since the mid-to-late 19th century. Also, Wa<br \/>\n&#8220;headhunting&#8221; was not a hunt for heads, but warfare that involved trophy-taking, itself a<br \/>\nwidespread global phenomenon. At the same time, like the trophies of the past, the notion of<br \/>\n&#8220;primitive&#8221; itself was not only deployed by outsiders such as the Chinese for the Wa, but also<br \/>\nby the Wa themselves, in a curious modern-era dialectic that continues to this day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u53c2\u3000\u8003<\/strong>\uff1a<br \/>\nMy current research concerns ethnic relations and ideas of civilization, in particular Chinese<br \/>\ncivilizing ideals casting minorities or barbarians in supportive roles, and with notions of<br \/>\nsovereignty, citizenship, and state organization thrown in the mix. My research relates to<br \/>\nsome of the classical anthropological debates regarding the history and dynamics of center-<br \/>\nperiphery and ethnic relations, especially in the China-Burma borderlands, where I conducted<br \/>\nethnographic and historical research during the 1990s, and most recently in 2006. My<br \/>\nethnographic research has mainly concerned Wa cultural areas (the Wa are Mon-Khmer<br \/>\nspeaking people, living at the &#8220;edge of empire&#8221;), the conditions of their historical autonomy,<br \/>\nand the place of sacrifice and religion in local and regional history and economy. Other<br \/>\naspects of my research involve ethnic minorities and majority-minority relations in other parts<br \/>\nof China, including the Southern Great Wall in Hunan-Guizhou, and in neighboring Southeast<br \/>\nAsian nations, especially Burma, Laos, and Thailand.<\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"20150608","image":false,"all_day":false,"start_date":"2015-06-08 16:00:00","start_date_details":{"year":"2015","month":"06","day":"08","hour":"16","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"2015-06-08 18:00:00","end_date_details":{"year":"2015","month":"06","day":"08","hour":"18","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_start_date":null,"utc_start_date_details":{"year":"1970","month":"01","day":"01","hour":"00","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":null,"utc_end_date_details":{"year":"1970","month":"01","day":"01","hour":"00","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"timezone":"","timezone_abbr":"","cost":"","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"$","currency_position":"prefix","values":[]},"website":"","show_map":true,"show_map_link":true,"hide_from_listings":false,"sticky":false,"featured":false,"categories":[{"name":"\u95a2\u9023\u3059\u308b\u5b66\u4f1a\u30fb\u7814\u7a76\u4f1a","slug":"related-conferences","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":188,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":0,"count":145,"filter":"raw","id":188,"urls":{"self":"http:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/www\/2016\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/188","collection":"http:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/www\/2016\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}}],"tags":[{"name":"report","slug":"report","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":192,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":31,"filter":"raw","id":192,"urls":{"self":"http:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/www\/2016\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/tags\/192","collection":"http:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/www\/2016\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/tags"}}],"venue":{"id":23999,"author":"7","status":"publish","date":"2015-02-13 16:51:00","date_utc":"2015-02-13 07:51:00","modified":"2015-02-13 16:51:00","modified_utc":"2015-02-13 07:51:00","url":"http:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/www\/2016\/%E4%BC%9A%E5%A0%B4\/%e7%a8%b2%e7%9b%9b%e8%b2%a1%e5%9b%a3%e8%a8%98%e5%bf%b5%e9%a4%a8201%e5%8f%b7%e5%ae%a4%e3%80%8c%e6%9d%b1%e5%8d%97%e4%ba%ad%e3%80%8d\/","venue":"\u7a32\u76db\u8ca1\u56e3\u8a18\u5ff5\u9928201\u53f7\u5ba4\u300c\u6771\u5357\u4ead\u300d","slug":"%e7%a8%b2%e7%9b%9b%e8%b2%a1%e5%9b%a3%e8%a8%98%e5%bf%b5%e9%a4%a8201%e5%8f%b7%e5%ae%a4%e3%80%8c%e6%9d%b1%e5%8d%97%e4%ba%ad%e3%80%8d","json_ld":{"@type":"Place","name":"\u7a32\u76db\u8ca1\u56e3\u8a18\u5ff5\u9928201\u53f7\u5ba4\u300c\u6771\u5357\u4ead\u300d","description":"","url":"http:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/www\/2016\/%E4%BC%9A%E5%A0%B4\/%e7%a8%b2%e7%9b%9b%e8%b2%a1%e5%9b%a3%e8%a8%98%e5%bf%b5%e9%a4%a8201%e5%8f%b7%e5%ae%a4%e3%80%8c%e6%9d%b1%e5%8d%97%e4%ba%ad%e3%80%8d\/","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress"},"telephone":"","sameAs":""},"show_map":true,"show_map_link":true,"global_id":"www.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp?id=23999","global_id_lineage":["www.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp?id=23999"]},"organizer":[{"id":23990,"author":"7","status":"publish","date":"2015-02-13 15:15:40","date_utc":"2015-02-13 06:15:40","modified":"2015-02-13 15:15:40","modified_utc":"2015-02-13 06:15:40","url":"http:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/www\/2016\/%E4%B8%BB%E5%82%AC%E8%80%85\/%e8%97%a4%e7%94%b0%e5%b9%b8%e4%b8%80\/","organizer":"\u85e4\u7530\u5e78\u4e00","slug":"%e8%97%a4%e7%94%b0%e5%b9%b8%e4%b8%80","json_ld":{"@type":"Person","name":"\u85e4\u7530\u5e78\u4e00","description":"","url":"http:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/www\/2016\/%E4%B8%BB%E5%82%AC%E8%80%85\/%e8%97%a4%e7%94%b0%e5%b9%b8%e4%b8%80\/","telephone":"","email":"","sameAs":""},"global_id":"www.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp?id=23990","global_id_lineage":["www.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp?id=23990"]}],"json_ld":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Event","name":"\u201cEthnic relations and ideas of civilization in China\u2019s Southwest\u201d by Dr. Magnus Fiskesj\u00f6 (June 8)","description":"&lt;p&gt;\u65e5\u3000\u6642\uff1a2015\u5e746\u67088\u65e5\uff08\u6708\uff09 16\uff1a00-18\uff1a00 \u4f1a\u3000\u5834\uff1a\u7a32\u76db\u8ca1\u56e3\u8a18\u5ff5\u9928201\u53f7\u5ba4\u300c\u6771\u5357\u4ead\u300d \/ Tonan-tei (Room 201), Inamori Foundation Memorial Buildin &lt;a class=&quot;read-more&quot;
