Following requests from several younger conference participants who were looking forward to presenting at their first international conference and networking with established colleagues in their field, we have prepared this book of abstracts together with the program. We hope that you, our intended ASAA 2020 delegates, will use this document as a way to discover the breadth of research being undertaken and reach out to other scholars. Several of you have kindly recognised how much work went into preparing the program for our 600 participants. We think this is a nice way to at least share the program in an accessible format and to allow you all to see the exciting breadth of research on Asia going on in Australia and in the region. The ASAA is continuing to prepare ideas for some activities to connect our members in lieu of the conference. As it will take time to arrange these initiatives we expect that activities will take place later than the July dates originally set for the conference. We will be reaching out to some of you to ask for your help to make these initiatives happen. Thank you also to those who have donated registration fees to the Association. These donations will contribute to covering some of our cost shortfalls and towards preparing alternative initiatives to keep us all connected. Kind regards, Kate McGregor (Conference Convenor) and Jemma Purdey (Executive Assistant) Page 3 23rd Biennial Conference of the Asian Studies Association of Australia Abstract Book 2020 ASAA

    Revisiting Transnational Media Flow in Nusantara: Cross-Border Content Broadcasting in Indonesia and Malaysia

    Southeast Asian Studies, Vol. 49, No. 2, September 2011 Revisiting Transnational Media Flow in Nusantara: Cross-border Content Broadcasting in Indonesia and Malaysia Nuurrianti Jalli* and Yearry Panji Setianto** Previous studies on transnational media have emphasized transnational media organizations and tended to ignore the role of cross-border content, especially in a non-Western context. This study aims to fill theoretical gaps within this scholarship by providing an analysis of the Southeast Asian media sphere, focusing on Indonesia and Malaysia in a historical context—transnational media flow before 2010. The two neighboring nations of Indonesia and Malaysia have many things in common, from culture to language and religion. This study not only explores similarities in the reception and appropriation of transnational content in both countries but also investigates why, to some extent, each had a different attitude toward content pro- duced by the other. It also looks at how governments in these two nations control the flow of transnational media content. Focusing on broadcast media, the study finds that cross-border media flow between Indonesia and Malaysia was made pos- sible primarily in two ways: (1) illicit or unintended media exchange, and (2) legal and intended media exchange. Illicit media exchange was enabled through the use of satellite dishes and antennae near state borders, as well as piracy. Legal and intended media exchange was enabled through state collaboration and the purchase of media rights; both governments also utilized several bodies of laws to assist in controlling transnational media content. Based on our analysis, there is a path of transnational media exchange between these two countries.

The ETU represents approximately 65,000 workers electrical and electronics workers around the country and the CEPU as a whole represents approximately 100,000 workers nationally, making us one of the largest trade unions in Australia. The ETU welcomes the opportunity to submit to the Committee in relation to its examination of the Free Trade Agreement between the Government of Australia and the Government of the People's Republic of China (ChAFTA). The role of the Committee (Appendix 1) is to assess the ChAFTA and form a view as whether it is in Australia’s national interest. We submit that the provisions around labour mobility, training, worker protections (or lack there-of), corporate rights and more, mean the agreement cannot be supported by the Committee in its current form. The ChAFTA will lock Australians out of job opportunities, erode industrial and public safety standards, and expose Australia to unfunded legal action that costs millions. Earlier this year the Productivity Commission voiced significant concerns over Free Trade Agreements1 and, like unions, continue to argue that these agreements don’t deliver measurable economy wide benefits as claimed, impose significant costs, and are oversold by governments.

They are characterized by different meanings, contexts, and history. Local names of geographical features (endonyms) may differ from the foreign names (exonyms) for the same feature. If a specific geographical name has been codi - fied or in any other way established by an authority of the area where this name is located, this name is a standardized geographical name. In order to establish solid common ground, geographical names have been coordinated at a global level by the United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names (UNGEGN) since 1959. It is assisted by twenty-four regional linguistic/geographical divisions. Among these is the East Central and South-East Europe Division, with seventeen member states. Currently, the divi - sion is chaired by Slovenia. Some of the participants in the last session prepared four research articles for this special thematic issue of Acta geographica Slovenica . All of them are also briefly presented in the end of this article.

    BIBLIOGRAPH Y A Hand-book on Diaspora and Transnationalism FIRST EDITION April 2013 Compiled By Monika Bisht Rakesh Ranjan Sadananda Sahoo Draft Copy for Reader’s Comments Global Research Forum on Diaspora and Transnationalism www.grfdt.org Bibleography Preface Large scale international mobility of the people since colonial times has been one of the most important historical phenomenon in the human history. This has impacted upon the social, cultural, political and economic landscape of the entire globe. Though academic interest goes back little early, the phenomenon got the world wide attention as late as 1990s. We have witnessed more proactive engagement of various organizations at national and international level such as UN bodies. There was also growing research interest in the areas. Large number of institutions got engaged in research on diaspora-international migration-refugee-transnationalism. Wide range of research and publications in these areas gave a new thrust to the entire issue and hence advancing further research. The recent emphasis on diaspora’s development role further accentuated the attention of policy makers towards diaspora. The most underemphasized perhaps, the role of diaspora and transnational actors in the overall development process through capacity building, resource mobilization, knowledge sharing etc. are growing areas of development debate in national as well as international forums. There have been policy initiatives at both national and international level to engage diaspora more meaningfully since last one decade. There is a need for more wholistic understanding of the enrite phenomena to facilitate researchers and stakeholders engaged in the various issues related to diaspora and transnationalism. Similarly, we find the areas such as social, political and cultural vis a vis diaspora also attracting more interest in recent times as forces of globalization intensified in multi direction.

    Contact Languages: Ecology and Evolution in Asia

    This page intentionally left blank Contact Languages Why do groups of speakers in certain times and places come up with new varieties of languages? What are the social settings that determine whether a mixed language, a pidgin, or a Creole will develop, and how can we under- stand the ways in which different languages contribute to the new grammar? Through the study of Malay contact varieties such as Baba and Bazaar Malay, Cocos Malay, and Sri Lanka Malay, as well as the Asian Portuguese ver- nacular of Macau, and China Coast Pidgin, the book explores the social and structural dynamics that underlie the fascinating phenomenon of the creation of new, or restructured, grammars. It emphasizes the importance and inter- play of historical documentation, socio-cultural observation, and linguistic analysis in the study of contact languages, offering an evolutionary frame- work for the study of contact language formation – including pidgins and Creoles – in which historical, socio-cultural, and typological observations come together. umberto ansaldo is Associate Professor in Linguistics at the University of Hong Kong.

    Orchidaceous Additions to the Floras of China and Vietnam

    Taiwania, 48(3): 139-146, 2003 Orchidaceous Additions to the Floras of China and Vietnam Paul Ormerod(1) (Manuscript received 17 April, 2003; accepted 6 May, 2003) ABSTRACT: Literature and herbarium studies of Chinese and Vietnamese orchids have revealed a variety of new and noteworthy data pertinent to the floras of China and Vietnam. Three new combinations are proposed, viz, Bhutanthera humidicola, Odontochilus saprophyticus and Peristylus garrettii. Three new species are proposed, viz. Epigeneium mimicum, Podochilus banaensis and P. oxystophylloides. KEY WORDS: Orchidaceae, Additions, China, Vietnam. The present paper is mainly the result of herbarium and literature studies made at the Harvard University Herbaria (A, AMES, GH). Most of the Chinese materials examined were collected in the 1930’s, an era that was one of the high points of Sino-American botanical cooperation in the twentieth century. Vietnamese specimens on the other hand are poorly represented at Harvard and these mostly consist of duplicates made by French collectors, a small collection made by Chinese collectors in North Vietnam and an important set formed by Joseph and Mary Strong Clemens during their visit to South Vietnam in 1927.
