Despite the invention and sophistication of drones and unarmed aerial vehicles, satellites, and more recently, cyber espionage, “spy pigeons” remain a serious threat at the India-Pakistan border. The entanglement between flying pigeons for “sport” and capturing pigeons for “espionage” is critical to construe multiple meanings of more-than-human border intrusion in South Asia. Such an incursion not only endangers long-standing values of human-pigeon companionship but also moots a perplexity of intrusion that lies between the ethical acceptance of the more-than-human intruders and necessary resistance to their hostile infiltration. Explored through the geopolitically complex experiences of intrusion that have shaped the India-Pakistan relationship since Partition, intruding spy pigeons provide a critical perspective on distrust, animosity, and espionage in South Asia.

This article situates the discourses produced during an anti-yuta shaman campaign in 1913 within a longer trajectory of the changing position of Okinawa's female ritualists following Japan's formal colonization of Okinawa. Women have historically dominated Okinawa's ritual world as its practitioners but their power and position were less certain by the 1940s. Examining the arguments produced in newspaper articles and by the prominent Okinawan intellectual Iha Fuyū in 1913, this article argues that the campaign contributed to the erosion of these women's position by introducing new ways of thinking that called their relevance to Okinawan society into question.

ier material. Chapter 4 focusses on the Shifa 筮法 (Method of stalk divination), a Warring States bamboo manuscript of the ancient state of Chu 楚, now part of the “Tsinghua bamboo slips” collection. Jia conveniently provides the original pictures of the bamboo slips along with an accurate transcription of each of the manuscript’s 30 sections. Chapter 5 concerns the shuzi gua from the Warring States Chu area. Jia first analyses the divinatory records of the Baoshan 包山, Tianxingguan 天星觀, and Xincai 新蔡 bamboo manuscripts according to the Shifa system, reaching the conclusion that they belong to the same divinatory tradition. He then attempts a reconstruction of the ancient computational method, proposing a modified version of the one described in the received Xici 繫辭 (Commentary to the Appended Statements [of the Yi]). Jia argues that the traditional computational method of the Xici must have developed within the state of Chu. Finally, he proposes that the Shifa might be related to the Lianshan 連山 (Joint Mountains), one of the three traditional Yi texts. The conclusions summarize the main argument of the book in seven points. In his final remarks, Jia stresses that his conclusions are inevitably provisional and cannot be considered as the definitive understanding of such a complex and heterogeneous corpus of texts; further research is in order as new palaeographical sources will be discovered. Although his arguments are avowedly tentative and at times not entirely convincing – the 1and 7-systems hypothesis does present problematic aspects, namely the discussion on the coexistence of numbers 1 and 7 in the same shuzi gua – Jia’s monograph undoubtedly represents a fundamental contribution, and will surely become a seminal work in the field of pre-Qin Yi scholarship.

Zhang's broad argument that capitalism, urbanization, agricultural industrialization, and the fetishization of biomedical innovation may instigate - rather than quell - global disease outbreaks is persuasive. Finally, in "Persistence", Zhang tackles the geopolitical tensions around COVID-19 and illustrates how each outbreak in the ongoing pandemic reinforces framings of epidemics as "natural" disasters, blinding us to the ecomodernist roots of infectious disease. In her opening "Prelude", Zhang reveals how state-making, science and technology, and global capitalism are entangled in contemporary China, often to the detriment of public health.
