  • A Kachin Case Study
    MUSEUMS, DIASPORA COMMUNITIES AND DIASPORIC CULTURES A KACHIN CASE STUDY HELEN MEARS PHD 2019 0 Abstract This thesis adds to the growing body of literature on museums and source communities through addressing a hitherto under-examined area of activity: the interactions between museums and diaspora communities. It does so through a focus on the cultural practices and museum engagements of the Kachin community from northern Myanmar. The shift in museum practice prompted by increased interaction with source communities from the 1980s onwards has led to fundamental changes in museum policy. Indeed, this shift has been described as “one of the most important developments in the history of museums” (Peers and Brown, 2003, p.1). However, it was a shift informed by the interests and perspectives of an ethnocentric museology, and, for these reasons, analysis of its symptoms has remained largely focussed on the museum institution rather than the communities which historically contributed to these institutions’ collections. Moreover, it was a shift which did not fully take account of the increasingly mobile and transnational nature of these communities. This thesis, researched and written by a museum curator, was initiated by the longstanding and active engagement of Kachin people with historical materials in the collections of Brighton Museum & Art Gallery. In closely attending to the cultural interests and habits of overseas Kachin communities, rather than those of the Museum, the thesis responds to Christina Kreps’ call to researchers to “liberate our thinking from Eurocentric notions of what constitutes the museum and museological behaviour” (2003, p.x). Through interviews with individual members of three overseas Kachin communities and the examination of a range of Kachin-related cultural productions, it demonstrates the extent to which Kachin people, like museums, are highly engaged in heritage and cultural preservation, albeit in ways which are distinctive to normative museum practices of collecting, display and interpretation.

  • Myanmar Situation Update (2 - 8 August 2021) Summary
    Myanmar Situation Update (2 - 8 August 2021) Summary As 8 August 2021 marked for Myanmar the 33rd anniversary of the 1988 pro-democracy uprising, a historic protest movement in which the cry for democracy of Myanmar’s people was heard around the world, activists around the country renewed calls to end military rule once and for all. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) picked Brunei’s second foreign minister, Erywan Yusof, as its special envoy to Myanmar. He has been tasked with opening dialogue between the military rulers and their opponents in an effort to halt the violence, and stated that he should be given full access to all parties in Myanmar. 413 Myanmar civil society organizations released a statement rejecting the special envoy and expressing deep disappointment with ASEAN and their lack of inclusive decision-making process. The junta has approved the appointment as reported by state-controlled media. Myanmar's ambassador to the United Nations who is denounced by the junta, Kyaw Moe Tun said that an apparent threat had been made against him and that U.S. authorities had stepped up his security. Later, two Myanmar citizens were charged with one count of conspiracy to assault or violently attack him. If convicted, they can face a prison sentence of up to five years. Sources reported that conspirators accused of plotting an attack have military ties.
