Annual Conference Program, Volume 69. The Annual Conference Program is published annually by the Association for Asian Studies, Inc. It is printed in February and distributed to all conference attendees. On the Cover Temple mural depicting scenes of village life at Wat Baan Pang, the home temple of northern Thailand’s most famous Buddhist monk, Kruba Srivichai (1878-1939). The mural is located in Kruba Srivichai’s reliquary pavilion at Wat Baan Pang, in Lii District of Lamphun Province. Kruba Srivichai was known for his many development projects, which included the construction or restoration of over 100 northern temples. Controversial in his lifetime, he was detained under temple arrest numerous times and summoned for investigation in the capital city of Bangkok in 1920 and 1935. He remains an important symbol in the lives of northern Thais, many keeping his images and amulets on their persons or in their homes, cars and temples. The right side of the mural shows villagers making offerings to Kruba Srivichai during an annual festival. He is shown holding a palmleaf fan and seated at the head of the staircase leading from the village up the hillside (note the musicians to the left of the temple, the drum procession at the foot of the staircase, and the tiger representing Kruba Srivichai’s birthyear). The left side depicts a birth scene in a village home (lower left), a festive novice ordination (upper left), and a wandering monk (center); each of these scenes parallel important moments in Kruba Srivichai’s village life. In the background are the surrounding mountains, forests and paddyfields. Painted circa late 1990s, the anonymous artist dedicated his mural to the Buddha, Dharma, Sangha, parents, teachers and deities.

  • The United States and China Same Bed, Different Dreams, Shared Destiny
    The United States and China Same Bed, Different Dreams, Shared Destiny Thomas Fingar Stanford University April 20, 2015 I am deeply honored that Warren Cohen and the Wilson Center have invited me to present this year’s lecture to commemorate the work and the impact of our wonderful friend and greatly missed colleague Nancy Bernkopf Tucker. I hope that my words and observations will be worthy of the great scholar and terrific human being that we honor here today, and that I will come close to meeting Warren’s expectations and the high standard of the previous lectures in this series by Win Lord and Harry Harding. Although I am a political scientist, I share Nancy’s conception of history as a continuous stream of developments shaped by what had happened in the more distant past and shaping the perceptions, priorities, and policy choices of those who came later. In other words, one studies history not merely to understand the past, but also, and more importantly, to understand the present and to anticipate and shape the future. My talk today will attempt to explain how and why Chinese and Americans assess the current state of the relationship differently, and why, broadly speaking, Chinese tend to be more concerned, and Americans more complacent, about the future. Stated another way, I will explore why many Chinese (and some Americans) assess that confrontation and conflict are inevitable without special, even extraordinary steps to avoid it, and why many Americans (and a few Chinese) consider conflict extremely unlikely and relatively easy to avoid. One viewpoint assumes that both sides need to do just about everything right in order to avoid conflict; the other assumes that we need only to be prudent and avoid really stupid errors.

  • Revolution, Reform and Regionalism in Southeast Asia
    Revolution, Reform and Regionalism in Southeast Asia Geographically, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam are situated in the fastest growing region in the world, positioned alongside the dynamic economies of neighboring China and Thailand. Revolution, Reform and Regionalism in Southeast Asia compares the postwar political economies of these three countries in the context of their individual and collective impact on recent efforts at regional integration. Based on research carried out over three decades, Ronald Bruce St John highlights the different paths to reform taken by these countries and the effect this has had on regional plans for economic development. Through its comparative analysis of the reforms implemented by Cam- bodia, Laos and Vietnam over the last 30 years, the book draws attention to parallel themes of continuity and change. St John discusses how these countries have demonstrated related characteristics whilst at the same time making different modifications in order to exploit the strengths of their individual cultures. The book contributes to the contemporary debate over the role of democratic reform in promoting economic devel- opment and provides academics with a unique insight into the political economies of three countries at the heart of Southeast Asia. Ronald Bruce St John earned a Ph.D. in International Relations at the University of Denver before serving as a military intelligence officer in Vietnam. He is now an independent scholar and has published more than 300 books, articles and reviews with a focus on Southeast Asia,

  • The 1989 Tiananmen Square Protests in Chinese Fiction and Film
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Making the Censored Public: The 1989 Tiananmen Square Protests in Chinese Fiction and Film A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature by Thomas Chen Chen 2016 © Copyright by Thomas Chen Chen 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Making the Censored Public: The 1989 Tiananmen Square Protests in Chinese Fiction and Film by Thomas Chen Chen Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Kirstie M. McClure, Co-Chair Professor Robert Yee-Sin Chi, Co-Chair Initiated by Beijing college students, the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests—"Tiananmen"— shook all of China with their calls for democratic and social reforms. They were violently repressed by the Chinese state on June 4, 1989. Since then, their memory has been subject within the country to two kinds of censorship. First, a government campaign promulgating the official narrative of Tiananmen, while simultaneously forbidding all others, lasted into 1991. What followed was the surcease of Tiananmen propaganda and an expansion of silencing to nearly all mentions that has persisted to this day. My dissertation examines fiction and film that evoke Tiananmen from within mainland China and Hong Kong. It focuses on materials that are particularly open to a self-reflexive reading, such as literature in which the protagonists are writers and films shot without authorization that in their editing indicate the precarious ii circumstances of their making. These works act out the contestation between the state censorship of Tiananmen-related discourse on the one hand and its alternative imagination on the other, thereby opening up a discursive space, however fragile, for a Chinese audience to reconfigure a historical memory whose physical space is off limits.
