Kinear This publication is a non-profit educational research journal not for sale. Welcoming Message from the Executive Director Suppakorn Disatapandhu+ Welcome to the first issue of The Journal of Urban Culture Research for 2010, a peer- reviewed journal published once a year in September by the Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts, Chulalongkorn University and Urban Research Plaza associated with Osaka City University. Our first issue is on the theme of Art Development: Exploring the Role of Culture and the Arts in Sustainable Community Development and Social Transformation, guest edited by Professor Kjell Skyllstad from University of Oslo. The concept for the issue initially arose out of the “Empowering Urban Culture and Creativity: Art, Publicity, and Transformation” Forum held at Chulalongkorn University’s Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts, in March 2010. The success of this forum was a clear indication of the remarkable growth in urban studies and art development in recent years. This forum inspired the very first issue of our new journal. As initial discussions began, we became aware of a number of recent and forthcoming parallel publications within urban studies and arts development, as well as the launch of a new international journal in the area of urban studies and culture in Japan. This confirmed for us the relevance of the theme and the importance of publishing a volume that would explore the many different facets of creative arts, visual arts, music, various genres of dance, and the relationships between the arts and urban culture. This emphasis on the relationships between the arts and urban culture is the main focus of the journal. We are grateful for the cooperation between Chulalongkorn University‘s Office of Academic Affairs, and the Urban Research Plaza associated with Osaka City University in providing financial support to the operating costs. We are also grateful to our guest editors and editorial board members for their sustained and dedicated effort in bringing this issue to fruition. With their combined expertise in ethnomusicology, fashion design, choreography, music composition, art history, and urban studies they have put together a volume, which explores art development from a variety of disciplinary and methodological perspectives. We hope that you find the result to be a rich, varied, and stimulating issue. Looking ahead to 2011, our second volume will remain focused on cities and creativity. Our journal will serve as a platform for those teaching in higher education and postgraduate students in the arts to publish their research. We encourage all artists to send in their submissions, comments, and ideas, including suggestions for the journal. Finally, we would like to take this opportunity to bring to your attention the next forum on urban culture research, which is a two-day event with a theme of Art Management – City Management: Models for Sustainable City Renewal and Cultural Continuity to be held at Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok from March 3-4, 2011. A call for papers, the journal’s policies, and contact details are posted on the journal’s website, www.cujucr.com. We look forward to seeing you at our forum and learning about your work. + Dr. Suppakorn Disatapundhu, Dean and Associate Professor, Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts, Chulalongkorn University Phayathai Road, Pathumwan, Bangkok, Thailand 10330. voice: 622-218-4582, fax: 662-218-4563, email: [email protected] Contents 3 Welcoming Message from the Executive Director Suppakorn Disatapandhu 6 Editorial Kjell Skyllstad 10 Journal Policy Sharing Art Across the Continents - Art, Dialogue and Development in the Time of HM King Chulalongkorn 16 The Siamese Composer Eugène Cinda Grassi Bangkok 1881 - Paris 1941 Philippe de Lustrac (France) Developing Creativity – Theoretical Discourses 40 Shaping a Creative Milieu: Creativity, Process, Pedagogy, Leadership, and Place Tom Borrup (USA) The Art of Development - The Development of Art 60 Transposition: A Project for Cultural Change Geir Johnson (Norway) 74 The Progression of Art in Bangkok’s Public Spaces Kamol Phaosavasdi (Thailand) 88 Destiny of Traditional Folk Arts in Conditions of Recent Society: The Case of Vietnam Thanh To Ngoc (Vietnam) Art and Transformation - Models of Art Outreach Programs for Individual and Social Rehabilitation and Development 96 Developing Urban Creative Communities Through The Arts in Thailand, Canada, and USA Frances Anderson (USA) 118 Dialogic Performance: Towards a Pedagogy of Transformance Dan Baron Cohen (Brazil) 128 Dance House: European Models of Folk Music and Dance Revival in Urban Settings Svanibor Pettan (Slovenia) Music and Well-being in the City – Developing Urban Health Care in Asia 138 Beyond Entertainment: Music and Health Care in Urban Parks Bussakorn Binson (Thailand) 148 Community Music Therapy in Action: Healing Through Pirit Chanting in Sri Lanka Lasanthi Manaranjanie Kalinga Dona (Sri Lanka) Art and Survival - Our Endangered Cultures Vanishing echoes 160 Victoria Vorreiter (USA) Recent Research Projects Yaoi as Fanwork: Cultural Appropriation in Modern Japanese Culture 170 Yu Ishikawa (Japan) Playing Techniques of New Pieces of Koto Music in Japanese Urban Culture 178 Kumkom Pornprasit (Thailand) The Historical Representation of Place in the Military Base Town of Koza: 190 The “Reassessment” of US Military Presence as a Developmental Resource Takashi Yamazaki (Japan) Conference Reports Report on the 8th Academic Forum, Chulalongkorn University, 202 Bangkok, Thailand, March 2010 Pornprapit Phoasavadi (Thailand) Reflections on UNESCO 2nd World Conference on Arts Education, 204 Seoul, South Korea, May 2010 Michele and Robert Root-Bernstein (USA) Rekindling the Torch: Report on the 29th International Society for Music 208 Education (ISME) World Conference Beijing, China, August 2010 Kjell Skyllstad (Norway) Believing in Miracles: The Rebirth of a City, Report from Singapore 210 World City Summit, June 2010 Kjell Skyllstad (Norway) Editorial Kjell Skyllstad+ Editor in Chief We live in a world of rapid urbanization. In 1950 the world had only one megacity – New York. Today Asia has more than half of the world’s largest cities, including 10 megacities: Bangkok, Beijing, Jakarta, Karachi, Kolkhata, Mumbai, Osaka, Seoul, Shanghai, and Tokyo. According to UN estimates, the proportion of the world’s population living in cities will rise from today’s 50 percent to 70 percent by 2050. Every week sees more than a million people moving to the cities. Ninety percent of expected population growth is projected to be concentrated in the cities. Southeast Asia is steadily urbanizing. In 1950 only 15 percent lived in cities, while today more than 40 percent of the population lives in urban areas, with the numbers rapidly rising, mainly due to influx from rural areas. This rapid process of urbanization is accompanied by equally rapid social and cultural changes affecting all aspects of life. As pointed out by the Centre for Livable Cities and ASEAN Studies Centre at the Singapore World City Summit (June 2010) there is a marked shift from living in an extended family to nuclear family accommodations in the growing Asian cities. One could add that the close intergenerational contact, which constituted the very foundation for the transfer of cultural values and knowledge as well as artistic skills from one generation to the next, is often lost through the isolation caused by split living arrangements even within one household. A life style built on a sufficiency economy, which supported local craftsmanship and transfer of knowledge is replaced by an urban consumerist ideology. City authorities throughout the region feel the pressure to modernize, which results in a steady decline and loss of heritage sites and cultural traditions through the demolishing of old buildings in the city centers and rapid replacement by high rise complexes. So acknowledging these negative consequences of rapid urban growth, why do city planners not come up with programs for sustainable development that would also promote cultural continuity? The answer is that cities

Could you describe your career path as a researcher? How did it lead you to textiles? Jean-Paul Leclercq. From 1994 to 2006 I was curator of the collections of pre-1914 costumes and textiles at Les Arts décoratifs in Paris, and I took on the task of expanding them.1 Putting my advocacy for collaboration between museums into action, I drew up the dossier that enabled the Musée des Tissus in Lyon to acquire the 190 Grands livres de fabrique of the Lyon-based company Bianchini-Férier (1889-1964, a continuous series of some 25,000 fabrics to stimulate thinking), which had employed artists such as Raoul Dufy and Paul Iribe. This acquisition was made with assistance from the Heritage Fund,2 whose support is “reserved for acquisitions of cultural properties of major heritage importance” and had the fortunate effect of conferring inalienability on the collection, both aspects that acted to counter the threats of closure facing the museum.

Flowing 370 kilometers through Thailand, the Chao Phraya River is more than the nation’s lifeline. It was a principal waterway that largely determined the expansion of this former agricultural city. With the advent of industrialization, the focus shifted to the establishment and consolidation of man- made infrastructures such as roads and highways, leaving the waterfronts as large areas of underused land, deteriorated ports, warehouses, and informal settlements.

  • 1 MEMORY of the WORLD REGISTER Archival Documents Of
    1 MEMORY OF THE WORLD REGISTER Archival Documents of King Chulalongkorn’s Transformation of Siam (1868-1910) Ref N° 2008-34 PART A- ESSENTIAL INFORMATION 1. SUMMARY Present-day Thailand is in many aspects a legacy of the policies and practices carried out by King Chulalongkorn the Great of Siam (A.D.1868-1910) within the context of western colonialism and modernization. This includes the setting up of a national bureaucracy, a centralized government with territorial integrity and sovereignty, professional armed forces and police, an independent judiciary with a modern legal code, and diplomatic relations with foreign powers. The documents are also the records of social policies such as the successful emancipation of slaves by peaceful and legal means, the abolition of gambling, the establishment of a public school system and the reform of the Buddhist Sangha, as well as the promotion of agricultural production, the market economy, financial and fiscal institutions. These measures contributed to the maintenance of Siam independence, a rare feat in the world at the time. The nominated documents in the Thai language are records of all these accomplishments. They were either hand-written texts on local papers made from the mulberry and khoi trees, or typed on imported papers. They consist of official and private correspondence and memoranda between King Chulalongkorn and his ministers, memoranda between officials, reports of meetings, and drafts of royal decrees and proclamations that took place during his reign. These documents are the basic source of information on the revolutionary measures adopted, the reasons for them, the strategies, process of execution and outcomes.

History of Research on African Factory-Printed Cloth and Current Approaches in the Field Michelle Willard Department of Anthropology/Museum Studies University of British Columbia [email protected] Objects are not what they were made to be but what they have become. This is to contradict a pervasive identification in museum research and material culture studies which stabilizes the identity of a thing in its fixed and founded material form.1 If we were to interpret factory-printed cloths in their “fixed and founded material form” as Nicholas Thomas states, we would be looking at a novel commodity and technology introduced to Africa by Europeans. However, factory-printed cloth is a product of both African design and European technology, and has its beginnings in the colonial period.
