The research was conducted in 3 stages. The first stage was the stage of documentary research on related theories, concepts, and articles, and of gaining experts’ opinions by Delphi Technique. The second stage was the stage of factor extraction towards cultural sub-components and indicator factors, conducted with 720 mainland-ASEAN representatives from 6 regions in Thailand. The last stage was a test of developed instrument by verifying program content from the studied common-culture indicators gained from the second stage. The results of each stage were found as followed: For documentary research, primary data from the previous studies and humanistic evidence was arranged according to the UNESCO Framework for Cultural Statistics or UNESCO FCS and ESSnet-Culture, and applied with ASEAN Culture- Specific attributes. As a result, preliminary indicators and component variables consisting of 7 sub-components or domains, and 29 indicator variables were formed. At the stage of trend forecasting by Delphi Technique method, the preliminary variables (7 sub-components and 29 indicator variables) were proposed to 7 experts for refinement. From using this technique for two rounds, 9 sub-components, and 47 iv indicator variables were rated by 7 experts at very appropriate to the most appropriate level, namely Me 4-5, IR ≤ 1.50, with consensus. The following stage was Confirmatory Factor Analysis in which 47 ASEAN cultural indicator variables were tested by Structural Equation Model and found to be congruent with empirical data gained from 720 subjects. The findings also showed that a model for ASEAN common-culture indices composed of 1 principal component (ASEAN), 9 sub-components (A-I), and 47 indicator variables (X1-X47). According to statistical value of Model Fit Indices, the expected model was found to be congruent with empirical data model, namely (χ2/df = 1.761, GFI = . 912, AGFI = .895, NFI = .956, RMSEA = .033 (PCLOSE = 1.00), RMR = .019, with regression weight or path coefficient of .726 - .940 and with estimating predicted coefficients at 52.7 - 88.3% (R2 between .527 - .883). At the last stage, the efficiency of all 47 ASEAN cultural indicator variables was tested for the practicality by developing numerical tally sheet instrument and testing them on informative content of 100 selected episodes in the television program with quantitative content analysis. From the testing, the model and instrument was proved to be efficient in tallying ASEAN common culture inclusively and had a potential in extracting culture from program content satisfactorily.

  • Laos, Known As the “Land of a Million Elephants,” Is a Landlocked Country in Southeast Asia About the Size of Kansas
    DO NOT COPY WITHOUT PERMISSION OF AUTHOR Simon J. Bronner, ed. ENCYCLOPEDIA OF AMERICAN FOLKLIFE. Armonk, NY: M.E. Sharpe, 2005. Rachelle H. Saltzman, Iowa Arts Council, Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs [email protected] LAO Laos, known as the “Land of a Million Elephants,” is a landlocked country in Southeast Asia about the size of Kansas. The elephant symbolizes the ancient kingdom of Lan Xang, and is sacred to the Lao people, who believe it will bring prosperity to their country. Bordered by China to the north, Vietnam to the east, Cambodia to the south, Thailand to the west, and Myanmar (formerly Burma) to the northwest, Laos is a rough and mountainous land interwoven with forests and plateaus. The Mekong River, which runs through the length of Laos and supplies water to the fertile plains of the river basin, is both symbolically and practically, the lifeline of the Lao people, who number nearly 6 million. According to Wayne Johnson, Chief for the Iowa Bureau of Refugee Services, and a former Peace Corps Volunteer, “the river has deep meaning for the ethnic Lao who are Buddhist because of the intrinsic connection of water with the Buddhist religion, a connection that does not exist for the portion of the population who are non-ethnically Lao and who are animists.” Formally known as the Kingdom of Laos, and now known as Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Laos was, in previous centuries, periodically independent and periodically part of the Khmer (Cambodian), Mongol, Vietnamese, and Thai (Siamese) empires. Lao, Thai, and Khmer (but not Vietnamese) share a common heritage evident today in similar religion, music, food, and dance traditions as well as language and dress.

  • Nationalism by Design: the Politics of Dress in British Burma by Penny
    -1- Nationalism by Design: The Politics of Dress in British Burma By Penny Edwards. IIAS Newsletter 46 (Winter 2008). Colonial attempts to hem in racial and gender difference through practice, law and lore made dress a potent field of resistance in British Burma, giving rise to new strands of nationalism by design. On 22 November 1921, a young male named Maung Ba Bwa was apprehended by police at the ShwedaGon PaGoda in RanGoon. MaunG Ba Bwa was one of an unusually hiGh number of Burmans visitinG the paGoda on this November evening for an exhibition of weaving, and a performance of a phwe (Burmese traditional theatre) by two leadinG artists. In MaunG Ba Bwa’s recollection of events, “his attire” had attracted police attention. “He was wearinG a pinni jacket and Yaw longyi, obviously rather self-consciously and in demonstration of his nationalist sympathies,” stated the resultant police report; “He seems, possibly not without reason, to think that some Government officers reGard such clothes with disapproval.” MaunG Ba Bwa was brouGht in for questioninG followinG the storminG of the ShwedaGon by British and Indian police, when Gurkhas “desecrated the paGoda by rushing up the steps with their boots on.” In the ensuinG fracas, which pitted monks aGainst such colonial aGents of ‘order,’ a Burmese civilian was killed. The scholar- official J. S. Furnivall, who presided over an independent commission of inquiry into the police response, would also pin his diaGnosis of Maung Ba Bwa’s political orientation on his wardrobe. His pinni jacket and his longyi, the commission reported, were proof positive of his “nationalist sentiment.”1 Wearing your politics on your sleeve By the early 1920s, in a climate where speakinG out or publishinG critiques of colonialism saw some younG monks and other activists jailed for years, increasinG numbers of Burmese civilians -- like MaunG Ba Bwa -- chose to express their political leaninGs in their dress.

  • Composition Inspired by ASEAN Drums: Sakodai
    Volume 21, 2020 – Journal of Urban Culture Research Composition Inspired by ASEAN Drums: Sakodai Rangsan Buathong+ & Bussakorn Binson++ (Thailand) Abstract This article describes the research behind a composition named Sakodai which is based on musical dialects found in Cambodia. Cambodia is one of the 10 countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). This Cambodian drum inspired composition is one of a set of 11 compositions titled ASEAN Drums where representative drums from each ASEAN country were selected (2 for each drum in Singapore). The drums included are the Sakodai of Cambodia, Sabadchai of Thai- land, Rebana Anak of Brunei, Pat Waing of Myanmar, Debakan of the Philippines, Rebana Ibu of Malaysia, Ping of Lao, Tay Son of Vietnam, Kendang of Indonesia and versions of Chinese drums and Indian Tablas from Singapore. Using these drums, 11 distinctive musical pieces were composed based on Thai traditional music theories and concepts. In this article, the composition inspired by rhythm patterns of the Cambodia Sakodai hand drum has been selected to be presented and discussed. The resulting piece is based on one Khmer dialect comprised of four lines with a medium tempo performed by a modified Thai Kantrum ensemble rooted in the dialect of traditional Khmer folk music from Cambodia. Keywords: ASEAN Drum, Thai Music Composition, Dialects in Music, Sakodai Drum, ASEAN Composition, Thai-Cambodian Composition + Rangsan Buathong, Grad Student, Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts, Chulalongkorn University, Thailand. voice: +66 814013061 email: [email protected]. ++ Bussakorn Binson, Board member, Center of Excellence for Thai Music and Culture Research,Chulalongkorn Uni- versity, Thailand.

  • Singing the Lives of the Buddha: Lao Folk Opera As an Educational Medium
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 368 224 FL 800 756 AUTHOR Bernard-Johnston, Jean TITLE Singing the Lives of the Buddha: Lao Folk Opera as an Educational Medium. PUB DATE May 93 NOTE 351p.; Doctoral Dissertation, University of Massachusetts, Amherst. PUB TYPE Dissertations/Theses Doctoral Dissertations (041) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC15 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Acculturation; Buddhism; Culture Conflict; English (Second Language); Epistemology; *Folk Culture; *Land Settlement; *Lao; Native Language Instruction; *Opera; Refugees; *Teaching Methods; Uncommonly Taught Languages ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the role of Lao folk opera as a medium for constructively addressing problems of cultural conflict and acculturative stress that have risen among lowland Lao refugees and their children in urban America. The central focus of the inquiry is on the ways Lao folk opera currently functions as a learning medium in the resettlement context. The need for validation of such locally produced endogenous media has become increasingly apparent as long term resettlement issues continue to emerge as threats to linguistic and cultural diversity. The review of literature encompasses the role of oral specialists in traditional societies, Buddhist epistemology in the Theravada tradition, and community education in rural Lao culture. These sources provide the background necessary to an understanding of the medium's capacity for encapsulating culture and teaching ethical values in ways that connect past to present, distant to near.
