SUMMARY:The Seeds of Turmoil
DESCRIPTION:Huế’s “People of the Pagoda” and the Buddhist Mobilization of 1963\nNguyễn Dịu Hương \nThis presentation reconstructs the historical atmosphere of the Summer 1963 Buddhist mobilization in central Viet Nam’s royal city of Huế through close-up descriptions of those events based on what was considered significant\nby its participants and supporters. Glancing through the lens of “social movement theory” I assert that this short-lived mass movement created collective identities for ordinary lay Buddhists – “People of the Pagoda”\, they styled themselves – and had strong and persistent impacts on their individual lives. By emphasizing the personal\, human experience of local residents using their eyewitness accounts\, I attempt to illuminate how such momentous happenings affected Huế’s social and cultural life as the mobilization spread turmoil through the city. This bottom-up\, grassroots approach seeks to remedy the twin imbalances of Western-centered and Vietnamese government-issued narratives in the Viet Nam War’s historiography.

SUMMARY:Nailed It
DESCRIPTION:Film Screening w/ Q&A with Film Director\, Adele Free Pham\nSoutheast Asia: Text\, Ritual\, and Performance (SEATRiP) at UC Riverside is happy to announce a film screening of Nailed It (click to view trailer)\, along with a Question & Answer session with Film Director\, Adele Free Pham. \nThis event is made possible through co-sponsorships from the UCR Women’s Resource Center\, the UCR Asian Pacific Student Programs\, and the UCR Center for Ideas and Society. \nPlease forward this announcement to all who may be interested! \n \nMore About the Film:\nIn virtually every city\, state and strip mall across the U.S.\, women get their nails done in salons likely owned by Vietnamese entrepreneurs. How did this community come to dominate an $8 billion dollar nail economy? Nailed It takes viewers from Los Angeles to the Bronx to meet the diverse people and relationships behind this booming and enigmatic trade. \nAmong others\, the film features Mantrap\, a nail salon chain which found its start in Los Angeles by business partners Olivett Robinson and Charlie Vo\, who opened nine locations\, demonstrating a small business model that was copied so frequently it became a part of Vietnamese culture—and the American standard for Asian nail salons in black neighborhoods. \nMore About the Director/Producer:\nDirector/Producer/DP Adele Free Pham is an activist and filmmaker\, with experience in all aspects of documentary production. Her feature documentary NAILED IT\, about the genesis and culture of the Vietnamese nail industry had its broadcast premiere on PBS in May 2019\, and is the highest streamed film of the America Reframed series. Her next feature STATE OF OREGON uses the 2016 murder of Larnell Bruce Jr. by a white supremacist as a narrative touchstone to expose Oregon’s founding as a separatist white homeland state—and 150 years of racial exclusion and violence that continues today. A short film by the same title was released by Field Of Vision in 2017 and has 187k views on social media.

SUMMARY:Playing Music\, Performing Culture: The Pedagogies of Community-Based Thai Music in the United States
DESCRIPTION:A practice paper presentation by\nNattapol Wisuttipat \n“Playing Music\, Performing Culture: The Pedagogies of Community-Based Thai Music in the United States.” \nThai classical and traditional music\, as a part of the nation’s intangible heritage\, enables the imagination of the Thai community in diaspora. A cultural symbol\, it is widely and popularly taught in almost every Sunday School\, mostly held at Thai Buddhist Temples in the United States. What makes such classes interesting is that it is removed from native setting\, thus forcing emigrant Thai instructors to adjust certain strictly-held customs regarding musical transmission to allow for performance practicality. This paper critically examines the pedagogical approach used by an instructor at The Thai Cultural and Fine Arts Institute of Illinois to transmit both musical and cultural knowledge to Thai American students. Drawing on the concept of cultural performance that regards specific social organizations as a medium containing cultural particularities\, I argue that learning the process of music-making is equally\, if not more\, vital as the performance itself. In addition to musical competency\, such process instills specific affective behaviors that galvanize Thai cultural identity. Rather than attempting to locate authentic or correct practices\, this paper highlights what is culturally at stake\, such as musical secularization and deauthorization of teacher\, when balancing musical processes and product outside their “home” context; and illustrates the agency of music in maintaining cultural identity in a diasporic community. \nNattapol will present this paper at the symposium Passages: Locating Global Traditions in Southeast Asian Music and Performance\, hosted by Indiana University. Please come provide your feedback and suggestions. Nattapol is a first-year Ph.D. student in ethnomusicology. He holds an M.A. in ethnomusicology from Kent State University\, and this presentation is drawn from his M.A. thesis.

SUMMARY:SEATRiP/Asian Studies Brown Bag with Weihsin Gui on Singaporean graphic novels and comics
DESCRIPTION:WeihsinGuiFlyer2\n\n\n\n\nBraiding\, Affordances\, and Cultural Critique in Recent Singaporean Graphic Novels \nSonny Liew’s The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye\, which won the Singapore Literature Prize in 2016 and three Eisner Awards in 2017\, has been the subject of several academic essays because of its alternative depiction of Singapore’s political history and unusual narrative structure. My talk looks at other less overtly contentious Singaporean graphic novels to show that graphic narratives about seemingly quotidian topics can also invite readers to engage in reflective thinking and cultural critiques of the country’s authoritarian status quo. Drawing on Thierry Groensteen’s concept of braiding and Caroline Levine’s idea of affordances\, I offer a formalist analysis of Liew’s Warm Nights\, Deathless Days\, which is about the life of Nanyang-Style painter Georgette Chen\, and Koh Hong Teng’s Last Train From Tanjong Pagar\, which is based on heritage tours of Singapore’s railway stations and civic district. \nBio: Weihsin Gui is Associate Professor of English at UC Riverside. His essay on Sonny Liew’s and Koh Hong Teng’s graphic novels is forthcoming in a 2019 special issue of Moving Worlds: A Journal of Transcultural Writings about Asian comics.

SUMMARY:Ethnic Hierarchies and Gender in Dissent and Empowerment: Migrant Labor in Malaysia and Vietnam
DESCRIPTION:Presented Dr. Angie Ngọc Trần\, CSU Monterey Bay \nMigrant workers from Vietnam going to work overseas are not just the Kinh (the majority)\, but also from the other 53 ethnic groups in Vietnam. I focus on five ethnic groups:theKinh\,theHoa(ethnicChinese)\,theKhmer\,theChămMuslimsandtheHrê\, who engage in different migration patterns and forms of resistance and empowerment. The transnational labor brokerage state system (LBS) has affected female and male migrants differently\, from the dehumanizing recruitment phase to the precarity and coping mechanisms while working in Malaysia. Class analysis alone does not explain the different cultural\, language\, and religious practices among these five groups. These practices offer strategies\, especially to the ethnic minorities\, who act individually or in solidarity with others\, in response to the transnational LBS system\, or bypassing it altogether. I focus on ethnic hierarchies\, based on economic factors (land\, finance\, education)\, and  cultural  resources (transnational  networks\,  language\, religion). These ethnic hierarchies inform and mediate how migrants engage in different spaces of dissent. Physical third space is occupied not according to the duality of legal-illegal categories in the name of the law\, but in the tacit acceptance of the community in which the migrants live and work. Metaphorical third space is about discourse of dissent\, uttered by non-state competing authorities\, to challenge the state’s authority through ironic and subversive mimicries. Overall\, I highlight different gender responses in these spaces of dissent and empowerment. My findings are based on eight years of research and fieldwork interviews in Vietnam and Malaysia (2008- 2015)\, a significant period of change in labor export policies. \n\nAngie Ngọc Trần is a Professor of Political Economy at California State University\, Monterey Bay (CSUMB).

SUMMARY:Grand Theft Buffalo - "Animals" and Property in Imperial Vietnam
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Prof. Bradley C. Davis\, Eastern Connecticut \nBased largely on nineteenth century archives but informed by a broad environmental humanities perspective\, this presentation considers the category of animals in imperial Vietnam. As an element of a sedentary agricultural empire\, buffalo (bubalus bubalis) received legal protections that befitted their collective status as biotic farm machines\, including an important role in imperial discourses of property that informed French colonial law in the late nineteenth century. Elephants\, however\, enjoyed a very different status in imperial Vietnam\, one elucidated through imperial law and one that reflected their role as biotic war machines. How do the practices and conventions surrounding buffalo and elephants contribute to discourses of development and governmentality in imperial Vietnam? Does “animal” (động vật – “mobile thing”)\, itself a neologism\, capture the historical experiences of buffalo and elephants? \nA historian of Southeast Asia\, East Asia\, and Vietnam\, Bradley Camp Davis (PhD University of Washington\, 2008) is an associate professor of history at Eastern Connecticut State University. As an author and translator\, he has written articles on imperial geographies\, banditry\, ethnographic knowledge\, the creation of the French consular system in northern Vietnam\, Tai polities in the Black River Basin\, and the cultural politics of language in Vietnam. Davis’s first book Imperial Bandits: Outlaws and Rebels in the China-Vietnam Borderlands (Washington\, 2017)\, examines nineteenth century bandit armies whose violent acts echo into the present. This talk comes from his current project examining discourses on nature and ethnic difference in Vietnam from the Nguyễn (1802-1880s) to the early French colonial period.

SUMMARY:Hot off the Presses event with guest speaker\, Sarita See
DESCRIPTION: The Filipino Primitive: Accumulation and Resistance in the American Museum\n\n\n\nSarita See argues that collections of stolen artifacts form the foundation of American knowledge production. Nowhere can we appreciate more easily the triple forces of knowledge accumulation—capitalist\, colonial\, and racial—than in the imperial museum\, where the objects of accumulation remain materially\, visibly preserved. The Filipino Primitive takes Karl Marx’s concept of “primitive accumulation\,” usually conceived of as an economic process for the acquisition of land and the extraction of labor\, and argues that we also must understand it as a project of knowledge accumulation. \n\n\n\n\nCan you please share this event with colleagues and students in the Anthropology department who may be interested in attending? It is free and open to the public. We are eager for a strong audience and appreciate any help. For more information see flyer attached or visit our website: http://ideasandsociety.ucr.edu/event/see/

SUMMARY:Communication Repertoires and Cultural Memory in Everyday Urban Life in Vietnam
DESCRIPTION:Talk by Christina Sanko \nVisiting Scholar\nCentre of Media\, Communication and Information Research (ZeMKI)\nUniversity of Bremen\, Germany \nThe talk presents PhD research on communica4ve processes within the Vietnamese urban population and how these forge the construc4on of cultural memory in everyday life. Informed by theore4cal approaches in memory (Erll 2011) and communica4on studies (van Dijck 2007)\, the project inves4gates par4cularly how media representa4ons\, media prac4ces and interpersonal communica4on construct memories within and across different genera4ons (Mannheim 1959) in urban centres of Vietnam. In the talk\, I discuss insights from four months fieldwork in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon)\, including methodology\, software-assisted analysis of qualita4ve data and preliminary findings. \n*** Flyer ***

SUMMARY:The Indonesian Way: Islam and Democracy
DESCRIPTION:A lecture by Dr. Giora Eliraz \nThe “Indonesian way” is increasingly challenged by exclusive\, intolerant winds originated outside of the local context. About two years ago Nahdlatul Ulama (NU)\, the largest Muslim organizations in Indonesia\, started to publicize its initiative of promoting globally\, to the Middle East in particular\, the concept Islam Nusantara (the Islam of the Indonesian Archipelago)\, as a multi-faceted message of a tolerant\, moderate\, peaceful Islam for curbing terror and extremism. This initiative seems to correspond with growing self- confidence of Indonesia of the post-reformasi era including its foreign policy. So far there are no signs that “Islam Nusantara” has an impact on Islam in the Middle East. Moreover\, during recent months the “Indonesian way”\, in a sense of the distinctive Indonesian Islamic identity\, seems to be increasingly challenged by strict exclusive\, intolerant winds\, originated outside of the local context. It was mainly manifested by the tough gubernatorial campaign in Jakarta that was closely connected with the blasphemy accusations against the Jakarta’s Christian and ethnically Chinese governor\, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama\, known as Ahok \, for allegedly insulting Islam. As to the gubernatorial\, Ahok was defeated in the run-off election in April by the Muslim candidate\, Anies Baswedan\, who won decisively. These entire developments leaving behind a trail of questions\, related to founding values and concept of the secular oriented Indonesian polity\, including separation of state off religion\, pluralism as well as the distinctive\, impressive process of building democracy in the home to the largest Muslim population in the world. \nDr. Giora Eliraz is the author of Islam in Indonesia: Modernism\, Radicalism and the Middle East Dimension. Brighton & Portland: Sussex Academic Press\, 2004 and the monograph\, Islam and Polity in Indonesia: An Intriguing Case Study. Washington: Hudson Institute\, February 2007. His major research interests are related to both Southeast Asia\, Indonesia in particular\, and the Middle East. Dr. Eliraz is affiliated with the Jackson School of International Studies\, University of Washington and Harry S. Truman Institute for the Advancement of Peace\, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. \nSponsored by Middle East and Islamic Studies; Southeast Asia: Ritual\, Text\, and Performance; Maimonides Chair in Jewish Studies; Holstein Family and Community Chair of Religious Studies. \nFlyer

SUMMARY:Comparative Postcolonial Theory and the Question of Chinese Empire
DESCRIPTION:This lecture joins the recent calls to expand the Anglo-Franco focus of prevailing postcolonial theory by engaging with Asian empires as well as Sinophone perspectives situated in Southeast Asia. What might a more comparative or relational postcolonial theory look like? How might Sinophone studies contribute to a more globally-oriented postcolonial critique? \n\nShu-mei Shih is a professor of Comparative Literature\, Asian Languages and Cultures\, and Asian American Studies at the University of California\, Los Angeles. Among other works\, her book\, Visuality and Identity: Sinophone Articulations across the Pacific (2007)\, has been attributed as having inaugurated a new field of study called Sinophone Studies. Sinophone Studies: A Critical Reader (2013) is a textbook that she co-edited for the field. Besides Sinophone studies\, her areas of research include comparative modernism\, as in the book The Lure of the Modern: Writing Modernism in Semicolonial China\, 1917-1937 (2001); theories of transnationalism\, as in her co-edited Minor Transnationalism (2005); critical race studies\, as in her guest-edited special issue of PMLA entitled “Comparative Racialization” (2008); critical theory\, as in her co-edited Creolization of Theory (2011); Taiwan studies\, as in her guest-edited special issue of Postcolonial Studies entitled “Globalization and Taiwan’s (In)significance” and the co-edited volume Comparatizing Taiwan (2015) and Knowledge Taiwan (2016). She is currently working on two monographs entitled Empires of the Sinophone and Comparison as Relation\, and two co-edited volumes: Keywords of Taiwan Theory and World Studies: Theories and Debates.
