summary: In Britain, the Chinese garden, known for its irregularity and its capacity to please the senses and imagination, was evoked by various people, including Sir William Temple (1628–1699) and Joseph Addison (1672–1719), in order to articulate and legitimate their own interests and pursuits in society.[3] In the late eighteenth century, a book entitled Dissertation on Oriental Gardening (1772)[4] by Sir William Chambers (1723–1796),[5] an architect to King George III (r. 1760–1801), marked yet a new representation of Chinese gardens. To Which Is Added, an Heroic Epistle [by William Mason], in Answer to Sir William Chambers ...

summary: The Mediterranean as cultural region, field of study, and analytical category At the turn of the 21st century, the Mediterranean experienced a remarkable revival both in international politics and the social sciences.[18] As far as the social sciences are concerned, this boom in Mediterranean studies is evidenced by a significant increase in the number of academic journals dealing to a greater or lesser extent with the archaeology, history, society, and culture(s) of the Mediterranean.[19] [19] As is aptly mentioned on the book cover of Harris 2005 a: “The sun never seems to set on Mediterranean studies.”

summary: Civil law which set up and defended legal civil rights could only be established in a political society rooted in the ethos of independence and self-government. We may find the background to this idea in the historical context of the codification of civil law that occurred in the Netherlands in the nineteenth century.[22]

summary: Yet because it produced a cultural experience that allowed for individual agency and pluralistic reception, even as it served as an instrument for maintaining power and control, the experience of Cultural Revolution culture as a whole meant many different things in different places to different people, and even to one and the same person. It probably would not have come into being without him, for it was he who once prompted me to pursue the study of Cultural Revolution culture almost 20 years ago, an adventure which has culminated in a recently published book: Barbara Mittler A Continuous Revolution.

summary: The intersection between visual knowledge of natural history and narratives of universal rulership continues to be a relatively neglected theme in the study of early modern court cultures. Japanese encounters with and translations of materials of European provenance up to the mid-nineteenth century were mediated through Dutch sources, a circumstance that for a long time came to serve as a shorthand for the diffusion of “Western” knowledge in Japan.

summary: The first book entitled Zhongguo zhexue shi 中國哲學史 (History of Chinese Philosophy) was published in 1916 by Xie Wuliang (謝無量, 1884–1964), who also mentioned the Japanese origin of the term zhexue, and stressed, like Cai and others before him, that “all the principles of science derive from philosophy […] Philosophy is in fact the source of science” (凡科學之原理無不出於哲學[...]哲學實為科學之原矣).[121] That the history of Chinese philosophy was written, however, did not mean that a consensus existed about the very idea that there ever was such a thing called “Chinese philosophy.” The publication of other Jesuit works on “Chinese philosophy,” the most famous of which was the Confucius Sinarum Philosophus (published in Paris in 1687),[45] brought new ideas from China to Europe.

summary: Breadth of learning, so prized by seventeenth-century minds, fostered the inclusion of what David Mungello calls a sometimes exotic interest in China within their range of interests without disrupting the non-sinological thrust of their work.[12] Matteo Ricci was among the first, if not the first, to understand the importance of ties of friendship among the Chinese literati, and this is how he communicated it to his potential European readers in his account: It is noteworthy that these doctors, and also the bachelors, of the same year establish such a strong friendship among themselves that they become like brothers, and they help one another, and also their relatives, until their death.[13] As I aim to show in this article, Ricci regarded friendship as an attribute of the Chinese literati, and the importance of this male bonding helped him shape the notion of literatus in Ming China that he communicated to a European readership. Saussy views the echo of the Zhuangzi as strategic, in that it might help Ricci establish himself in the world of Chinese letters; see Haun Saussy, Matteo Ricci the Daoist.

summary: While gray whales had once populated the American west coast, migrating from the northern Pacific to the Baja California peninsula annually, whalers had decimated the regional stocks so dramatically that by the beginning of the twentieth century the species was considered extinct.[50] Andrews' predecessor in gray whale research, Charles S. Scammon, had already written about the possible extinction of the whales in 1874 and, with the disappearance of gray whales and other species, a large portion of the American whaling industry had followed.[51] Not only did this make the acquisition of new specimens and the observation of whales around California impossible, very few animal artifacts had been secured for scientific research during the period of whaling activity. Andrews wanted to improve upon an older systematic description of gray whales that had been published by the whaling captain Charles M. Scammon in 1874.

summary: It would seem self-evident that transcultural interaction is a process driven by human beings; that these human beings act not as stand-alone monads but within and through highly structured networks that link actors with different motivations and interests; and that it is through such networks that concepts, institutions, practices, and goods that incorporate them reach a different cultural environment.

This slippage between what might also be termed official and unofficial, dominant and demotic, allows us to further excavate aspects of how urban public space is constituted.

And, last but not least, how can we explain the place of Hitler’s Mein Kampf at the top of the Indian bestseller list in our days? Crossing boundaries,as Brodsky’s article shows, is a provocative, creative, and liberating act.

summary: The passage is replete with markers of indigenism as well as images of a triumphant Baconian science that are projected onto the past.[4] The methods of observation and experimentation in the sciences of ancient and medieval India had been elaborated upon in the book of Seal; and Sarkar repeatedly turns to Seal’s work (eight times in his book) to justify several of the historical claims in favour of the scientificity and mature stature of Indian science. He starts out in the TPSH by suggesting that the necessity for studying the methodology of the sciences of India derives from the need to arrive at “a right understanding of Hindu positive sciences,” and as a philosopher attempts to take on board “its strength and its weakness, its range and limitations” (Seal 1915, 244).

Clark wants to change the terms of the conversation in modernist art history so that works like Naked Beauty will not be devalued or ignored, but there is a severe obstacle in the way of that entirely admirable goal: the very structure of art history and modernism.

This is true for early Indian Buddhism, which had not yet developed representations of the Buddha in human form, as well as for Chinese Buddhism, which learned about Buddha images when the new religion spread to its territory during the first two centuries CE.

summary: The situation of Christian communities all over Central and East Asia had already been weakened by the spread of the plague a few decades prior to the shift of power in China.[17] Despite its demise in the late Middle Ages, the Christian presence in the Far East had lasting consequences for the monks’ and traders’ societies of origin. In East Asia, there was a metropolitan see within the northern bow of the Yellow River, which was part of the territory of the partially Christianized Öngüt people.[44] The Nestorians once again secured a foothold in the Chinese heartland—in numerous cities along the Yellow River, in the southeastern Chinese coastal area up to Zayton (Quanzhou),[45] and along the lower course of the Yangzi River.[46]

summary: Later, the split between anthropologists who focused on what until the 1970s was considered “real tradition” and those concerned with the victimizing effects of acculturation, especially Christianization, pauperization, and cultural loss, contributed to the pervasive perception that Native American cultures underwent a serious break, if not complete extinction, around the turn of the 20th century. 1: Typical example for an image of Native American culture areas The culture area was a dominant culture concept and an ambitious intellectual endeavor.

summary: The People's Choice: Transcultural Collectivity and the Art of Shared Knowledge Production | Schramm | Transcultural Studies The People’s Choice: Transcultural Collectivity and the Art of Shared Knowledge Production Samantha Schramm, University of Konstanz On January 10, 1981, the New York-based artistic collective Group Material opened the show The People’s Choice (Arroz con Mango) in a room on 13th Street in New York, which the artists had rented as a space apart from the common institutions of art.[1] The name of the exhibition points to the collective’s agenda; it invites the predominantly Spanish-speaking local residents to participate by choosing the objects to be displayed, including personal everyday objects as well as works specifically created for the exhibition. What does it mean for personal objects to receive a broader cultural meaning in a public exhibition?

summary: In literary terms, this emphasis on the “extraordinary”, qi 奇, rejects the long, often tediously predictable romances between talented scholars and beauties that had dominated the scene since the eighteenth century.[145] The second aesthetic criterion for Shenbaoguan novel publishing was jishi 紀實, what we have called above “realistic” in the sense either of a reference to actual events and circumstances, or a realistic mode of description that could also be used for invented and fantastic persons and occurrences.[146] In other words, the Shenbaoguan did not change tack when it switched to the publication of rare older and unpublished new Chinese novels.

summary: —Th. Duret The Gandharan School is not an example of Hellenistic influence upon Indian art, but the reverse [...] —E. B. Havell [...] the Gandhāra School was merely a branch of the cosmopolitan Graeco-Roman art of the early empire. —V. A. Smith[1] For the last century and more, the study of Indian art has been investigating the most formal, or rather morphological aspects of the ancient production, coming to a stylistic classification that is fairly accurate, though not as sophisticated as that of Greek art; at the same time, efforts were made to pursue an analysis of the images that made the most of the literary tradition, in an endeavor to decipher and classify or, in other words, label, the figurative scenes.

Even casual readers will easily understand why the magisterial essay on narrative art between India and the Hellenistic world by the late Maurizio Taddei (1936–2000) seemed so important to our concerns that we decided to translate it more than twenty years after its initial publication in 1993.

summary: Art history’s move away from a history of style into the more amorphous field of visual culture can be seen as an attempt to make space for different media—prints, posters, video, film, and digital images. Diverse in terms of disciplinary background (ranging from intellectual and missionary history to media studies, art history, and anthropology) and regional focus (including Japan, China, West- and Central Asia as well as the United States), the four studies highlight, each in their own way, the complex ways in which individual and collective agency is distributed in the contested creation of inescapably entangled worlds.

The endeavours of these agents to maintain the dialogue between creative forces in Russia and in Berlin during the years 1921−24, and the strong interaction they facilitated between what was eventually to crystallize into two divergent branches of Russian cultural production[48] —Soviet and émigré—represent the most prominent feature of “Russian Berlin.”

Alexandra David-Neel as a writer and a committed Buddhist David-Neel’s trajectory before specializing in Asian and Buddhist topics from 1909 onward is both strikingly singular and deeply telling of the cultural background from which Western Buddhism emerged in the nineteenth century’s fin de siècle intellectual circles: She had been a journal writer on feminist and anarchist topics[46] from 1893 onward under the pen names Alexandra David and Mitra—a mythological name from the Vedas—and an opera singer under the stage name Alexandra Myrial, presumably after Victor Hugo’s fictional character Mr. Myriel in Les Misérables (1862).

summary: It is largely inspired by Sanjay Subrahmanyam’s call for “connected histories” that explore how local and regional places, transactions, and encounters constitute global histories through the circulation of people, ideas, and commodities into and across such spaces.[1] Contributors seek to develop this model as an alternative to the dominant historiographies and area studies scholarship that privileged nation state-centred histories and Cold War political formations over connective and transnational ones. This themed section of the journal Transcultural Studies engages with such multiple journeys and crossings around Darjeeling and Kalimpong and offers alternative approaches which connect and intersect the history of local places and spaces with broader narratives of global history.

In border regions like Kūlāb, the trans-river orientation created a space of continuously shared culture and economy even under different political regimes.

However, by applying a transcultural approach which is open to the multiplicity of forces that have shaped modern Japan and which also looks for Japanese interactions with other societal actors from Asia and the rest of the world, Islam in Japan may for the first time constitute a research object, given its relevance to the global conjuncture of a spiritualized pan-Asianism.

Many claimed to have been profoundly impacted by what they experienced and left to establish missions and new Pentecostal centres in their own countries of origin, or wherever their missionary zeal called them to go.[79] Based on this transcultural way of re-reading the Azusa event, and following Adogame and Shankar’s call to “decenter” the North Atlantic as a reference frame for the narration of religious histories, we thus suggest that the revival at Azusa Street was less an “American event” than an inherently transcultural and translocal moment.

title: Knowledge Production on Central Asia: Transcultural Approaches in Central Asian Studies
date: 2018-12-20
words: 7434
flesch: 34
summary: One of the reasons for these conflicting approaches is the lack of research institutes that fund and investigate the diversity of contemporary Central Asia, and that would provide not only a solid linguistic education, but research into historical and contemporary research independent of political interests. 103The Journal of Transcultural Studies 2018, Issue 1–2 Bert Fragner’s suggestion to look at the role of the Persian language in shaping education, empires, religious orientations, and economic dynamics.22 Soviet document-based approaches such as the book by Yaacov Ro’i23 are also valuable if the documents are properly contextualized, and even the much-criticized notion of the “Silk Road” can be productive for the research of cultural transfers, as demonstrated by Michel Espagne et al.24 Another focus of interest has been taken by projects that depart from within Central Asia, such as the project on religious lineages and their heritage by Ashirbek Muminov, in cooperation with the French IFEAC (French Institute for Central Asian Studies) and Japanese scholars from Tokyo University, which resulted in a series of publications over a period of fifteen years.25 Gender studies historians have also been leading the way, for example, with Marianne Kamp’s work based on the method of oral history.26 While such historical research necessarily cuts across the boundaries between contemporary nation-states that came into being only at the beginning of the twentieth century, disciplines working on contemporary Central Asia face the much greater challenge of having to take the Soviet past into consideration while respecting the different paths the five independent republics have taken since the 1990s.

summary: So far, this relationship has rarely been addressed and, if it has, then with concerns about challenges of interdisciplinary cooperation rather than the formation and education of transcultural scholars from an early stage onwards.[22] The problem of cross-disciplinary cooperation constitutes an important challenge to all disciplines and fields of research as well as to transcultural studies as such: as already sketched out above, the diversity of interpretations associated with the transcultural paradigm also results from the fact that each scholar using the paradigm reacts to a very specific range of ideas, tenets, methods, and discussions that are characteristic of his or her field of specialization. Many also taught in a master’s programme in transcultural studies, a new and exciting transdisciplinary degree programme that introduces students from various disciplinary backgrounds to the transcultural paradigm and its associated methods and fields of investigation.

summary: Multiple entries on a single passport had been allowed since 1878 between China and Japan, specifically for the convenience of people like Tashiroya employees.57 In Tianjin, the import of foreign porcelain (which effectively meant Japanese porcelain) surged tenfold in 1885 from the previous year (chart 1).39 However, this boom lasted for just two years.

summary: The writers and cartoonists had used the concept of “partition” and the images of the territorial delicacies to be shared or fought over as tools to explain the concrete conditions of the moment, but switched to others once the situation had changed.[168] With the beginning of the Qing court’s “reform of governance,” (xinzheng 新政) in 1901, the main focus quickly became the threat of an “awakening” China with its huge, laborious, and cheap labor force that might translate into military might (figure 22).[169] About to divide the fruits on the table—the Boxer indemnity payments—among each other rather than partition China, the Powers are suddenly concerned not about the balance of power but about the Damocles Sword of a suddenly “awakening” gigantic China. Scholarship has largely overlooked this as in the frequent rendering of the element xin Zhongguo 新中國 in the title of Liang’s novel Xin Zhongguo weilaiji as The Future of New China instead of Future Record of China’s Reform.

summary: Their topics cover the activities of South Asian Muslim networks in the context of transregional interaction with actors and institutions from Post-Soviet Central Asia (Reetz); the transregional character of the Panj and Amu river regions in Eastern Bukhara and the increased leeway coming with marginality (Dağyeli); processes of territorialisation in Gilgit-Baltistan by the Pakistani state and the counter-force of local responses (Bouzas); and the history of the Soviet Union’s engagement in northern Afghanistan as a turn of the region from a socialist borderscape to a “postcolony” (Nunan). They did so in an environment characterized by dramatic change, which reframed inter-state relations as much as it impacted local governments and communities: the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the re-emergence of older connections between South and Central Asia, the introduction of market economies, and the rising concerns about radical Islam.

Regardless of whether new knowledge about technology or modernity emanated from Chinese texts or French ones, these texts had the same epistemological result.

summary: Most existing scholarship has identified Wŏllam mangguk sa as a call to Korean patriotism in the face of imminent annexation. More recent scholarship has convincingly identified Wŏllam mangguk sa as part of a new international consciousness among younger Korean intellectuals at the turn of the twentieth century that was coeval with the emergence of early Korean nationalist ideologies.4 The circulations of the Vietnam case in general and Wŏllam mangguk sa in particular in the rhetorical praxes of the Korean imperial court, however, speak to a more nuanced intellectual dynamic in which an existing historical consciousness of East Asian states and statesmen integrated the fall of Vietnam and the processes of global imperialism which it represented into a hybrid historical consciousness that removed the Great Han Empire and its predicament from a national or regional history and relocated it in a global history that was unfolding in the early twentieth century.

summary: Even as Prosser reminds us of the historiographic contribution of Roth’s writings to latter-day critical memory studies, he draws our attention to the polarity between culturally homogenizing forces and transculturally formed modes of remembering the past that structures Roth’s narrative, implicitly suggesting that privileging normativity could become a methodological trap for transcultural studies. The normative powers of memory are not the only methodological challenge for transcultural studies addressed in this issue.

summary: Based on fieldwork in Asmat communities in southern New Guinea and in a Jakarta edutainment park featuring displays of Asmat objects, Costa describes the challenges and dilemmas facing Asmat wowipitsj as the traditional ethos underlying their woodcarving practice is confronted with increasing commodification and global-market adaptation of Asmat material culture. This process effectively bends customary practice to churn out value- added commodities referring to traditional objects rather than representing social life and local functions in increasingly disadvantaged Asmat communities.

summary: On the other, it allows a sense of relationality to develop in the (figurative or material) act of preparing and sharing a meal, inasmuch as the audience is figuratively invited to dinner in a domestic environment—one that is intimate, or at least informal, making them an intimate confidant/e. The performative gesture of figuratively inviting readers to dinner assumes even greater relevance in a diasporic context, where food enables the creation of a sort of “imagined community” that unites people relationally across the diaspora.30 In this sense, Clarke’s narrative representations of food memories serve as snapshots of his childhood and pivotal life experiences—and, by extension, of experiences shared by the Caribbean immigrant community in Canada—that both he and his readers can savor as part of a Canadian “imagined commensality. While the Canadian edition’s subtitle, “Rituals of Slave Food, A Barbadian Memoir,” additionally emphasizes the connection between the text, slave food, and the Barbadian tradition,23 the subtitle of the US edition focuses more specifically on the text’s subgenre: “A Culinary Memoir.

summary: The available critical frameworks for interpreting collaborative art projects—discussed by Koch in her Introduction to this issue—have all grown out of specific contexts and respond to their exigencies.1 From a transcultural perspective it becomes necessary to ask whether our conceptual lexicon for collaborative art practices can be made to transcend the parochialism that comes from the intellectual location of existing theoretical models, and to take into account the constitutive role of mobility and engagement with cultural difference for art making. While the essays take us into the realms where the “local” is embedded, each of the studies of collaborative art brought together in this issue moves between scales and signals to connections to other times, other places, and other worlds.

summary: These approaches have as a common feature an emphasis on art history as a modern discipline that came into being in the age of (European) nation building and in contexts that saw (earlier) art objects, practices, and agents as circulating in an increasingly connected world marked by on-going colonialism and imperialism. Consequently, as Monica Juneja has recently remarked, much scholarly work remains to be done: Art history as a form of world-making—of grappling with the past and of glimpsing the contours of emerging possibilities as embodied in art production—is dependent on the criticality of a transcultural approach to rethink its epistemic foundations.

summary: This points us to broader questions about whether transculturation processes and effects might also differ by sensory domain (is there a domain-specific “transculturation of/by taste,” for example?), and prompts us to question the ways that our theories of transculturation— like other domains—might be subject to a kind of hegemony of sight or hearing, and could be enriched by considered extension to the domains of other senses. Her account of the history of glass making in the workshops of the Venetian island of Murano draws our attention to processes of “Venetianization” of these coveted objects: a conflation of matter and meaning cemented the prestige of glass objects produced there, as the fabled material qualities of finished glass came to be equated with a single locality, Venice, perceived as self-contained.

summary: When reading Wohlleben’s book, my first thought was to use the relationship between the forest and trees as a model and metaphor to conceptualize, on a concrete level, what in human culture is the more diffuse process of an interaction of cultures within the framework of culture. Like human nature, human culture partakes in a continuous flow across the human world, where transcultural interaction is the lifeline of culture, and every cultural item is transcultural.

Accordingly, while the overall repertoire of Manichaean didactic paintings looked different from one another in Sassanid Iran, Byzantine West Asia, Uygur Central Asia, and Song- or Yuan-dynasty China, it did preserve a distinctly Manichaean religious content.

While I hesitate to claim that these artists represent any kind of norm in such a heterogeneous sphere of visual culture production, their immense success in a range of markets and their highly influential writings have certainly framed the reception of Japanese art around the world in the past decade by constructing a critical benchmark for discussions of contemporary identity politics in art.

summary: Multi-Centred Modernisms | Juneja & Koch | Transcultural Studies Multi-Centred Modernisms—Reconfiguring Asian Art of the Twentieth and Twenty-First Centuries Monica Juneja and Franziska Koch, University of Heidelberg This section of Transcultural Studies features the proceedings of a lecture series entitled “Multi-centred modernisms—reconfiguring Asian art of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.” As a result, the average museum visitor in the West associates Asian art with traditional forms that go back many centuries and which can be easily identified as expressions of “Indian” or “Chinese” or “Japanese” culture.

summary: Visual artifacts, along with oral and written information, reflecting a variety of cultural concepts, also travelled along these routes. Byzantines not only continually embraced foreign artistic ideas and cultural concepts and adapted them to their own culture, they also seem to have been involved in a process of long-distance cultural communication, sharing genuine Byzantine concepts with other visual communities and thus contributing to their cultural enrichment as much as Byzantium benefitted from the rich cultural input from Asia.

summary: An opera performance with the leading male role sung by a character called “the youth of new China” (新中國之少年) evokes in detail the history of the revolutionary wars through which the renovated China was created. It unfolds when the narrator has a vision of future China, an obvious reference to the first Chinese political novel, A Future Record of New China written in 1902 by none other than Liang Qichao.[179]

summary: Consequently, the Meiji government’s almost simultaneous, but probably unrelated, introduction of the incompatible concepts of koki kyûbutsu and bijutsu suspended a thorough evaluation of Buddhist statues until they came to be regarded as sculptural artworks in the late 1880s. We can safely surmise that the discovery of naturalistic works, such as the pair of Niô of Kôfuku-ji temple, facilitated a new way to evaluate Buddhist statues in the late 1870s.

Though Betty Boop had Japanese fans (some of whom were quite active in producing their own films), there could be no Western fans of Japanese animation in a system of distribution which largely ran from West to East.

For a short while during the years of 1967-72, a variety of subcultural groups, ranging from militants and terrorists to cadre parties, used Mao slogans.

Fig. A Motivational History of Modern Cast Collections The history of museums with originals and plaster casts as well as plaster cast museums (musées de moulage)carries within it a fundamental contradiction: the general concept of a museum as a protective temple of and site for the cultural education of a larger public through original works of art would not, at first glance, seem to include cast copies.

summary: The trajectory from East Lynne, A Woman’s Error to No no hana and Konggu lan showcases the mechanism of transcultural flows for popular cultural products within the increasingly globalised, industrialised and commercialised mediascapes. In a similar vein, I argue that from East Lynne, A Woman’s Error, to No no hana and Konggu lan, it is the story with its main plot evoking sensation and sentiment that mattered/matters for the historical audience around the globe and for our understanding of the big picture of its transcultural travels.

summary: Buddhist Tibet was seen as a land of “evil heresy” (sasul)—frightening, but also fascinatingly exotic. Although superficially direct in the sense of direct contacts between Koryô court, monks and Tibetan religious figures, it appears that the interaction between Koryô and Tibet was still essentially mediated by the regional centre, Yuan China.

summary: So far, ship newspapers have been almost completely overlooked by historians—despite the fact that they are unique, almost unsurpassable sources for life on passenger ships in the late nineteenth century. Ship newspapers as source material Studying ship newspapers as historical sources can be one way to gain more direct access to such interaction on ship passages at least as far as nineteenth- and twentieth-century steamer passages are concerned.

summary: Subrata Mitra explores the dynamics of the interaction between post-colonial national governments with a strong commitment to maintain the unity of the “national” realm inherited from the colonial power, and sub-national movements who vie for greater autonomy or even independence and mobilize resentments by regional groups against their marginalization. That the focus for this second round will be broader becomes apparent in the Cluster’s new subtitle “The Dynamics of Transculturality,” which shows that it intends to test the bold hypothesis that “transcultural interaction is the lifeline of all culture.”

summary: In this light, we might thus imply that early twenty first-century expressions of transcultural literature—by creating, re-creating, interlacing and, most importantly, negotiating diverse cultural landscapes—contribute to open up new worlds, new modernities connected to the present age of global mobility, and show us the strengths and at the same time the limits and the illusory perception of single bounded cultures/civilisations and monocultural/monological identities. Rather, it must be located, immanently within the temporality of a modernity embracing new cultural forms that have been and are still developing in what used to be the non-West and that now offer an occasion for dialectical encounter.[44] In this light, modernity becomes, in all its modes, negotiations, translations, and declinations, “a commonly shared condition.
