	9th Annual ASIANetwork (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		For to think, as Xuanzang the young Buddhist zealot obviously did, that Buddhist writings were necessary to the welfare and fulfillment of the Chinese people is in essence to deny the self-sufficiency or adequacy of indigenous wisdom and thought, and to identify one’s deepest norms and values with something regarded as non-Chinese.
		Xuanzang, let us notice, was indeed said to have also mastered the Confucian classics at an early age, but the account of his prodigious intelligence and love of learning becomes a mere pretext to display his astounding decision to seek “holy orders,” as it were, at age thirteen.
		Xuanzang’s family, in other words, could be one of those which, while fully participatory (as far as we could learn from history) in all aspects of Chinese life of their time, was also subscribing to a form of cultural diversity.

		He is a terrible monster, part human and part pig, who often gets himself and his companions into trouble by his laziness, his gluttony, and his propensity for lusting after pretty women.
		After some time, he was recruited by the bodhisattva Guan Yin to join Xuanzang's pilgrimage and atone for his sins (those that had got him thrown out of heaven, and the many he had racked up since).
		At the end of the novel, most of Zhu Bajie's fellow pilgrims achieve enlightenment and become buddhas or arhats, but he does not; although much improved, he is still too much a creature of his base desires.

		In pursuing the hypothesis of the mimetic character of the early-modern Luso-Indian encounters, the paper will analyze textual sources (travelogues, Christian texts, official texts) and iconographic and ethnographic evidences (religious images and monuments, ritual and theatrical performances).
		Xuanzang reports how he negotiated his passage to and within India, and how he perceived of his experience.
		Indeed, oral histories (documented and undocumented), fiction, literature and critical subaltern historiographies have been some of the routes or mediums by which tales of the past have been expressed as potentially decentering accounts for the purposes of articulating presents and futures.

		I had read of him in my childhood as a fictional character in a popular novel, The Monkey King: kind and pious, but weak, bumbling, and, as the Chinese say, with a mind as narrow as a chicken’s intestine.
		But the real Xuanzang was a truly remarkable man, and his life is an extraordinary tale - one of spirituality, determination, and adventure – a tale that would have challenged the Communist ideology, which is why he had been hidden from me.
		It was quite hazardous, what with walking into a hostage crisis in Kyrgyzstan, being surrounded by election violence in the poorest part of India, escorted by armed guards in Peshawar, and being caught in the midst of a Muslim uprising in Western China.

		Thus the postwar rise of the nouveau roman, with its absence of character, and of the postmodern and experimental novels, with their many strategies -- self-annulling irony, deliberate cartoonishness, montage-like ''cutting'' -- for releasing fiction from its dependence on character.
