Lagunbyee Old Town and the Discovery of the First Ceramic Kiln1
Lagunbyee Old Town and the Discovery of the First Ceramic Kiln1 This paper is an attempt to give a brief account of Lagunbyee, an old fortress town southwest of Bago (Pegu) and a personal record of the discovery of the first ceramic kiln there in 1987. Lagunbyee old town is important for two reasons: (1) It was at one time a walled and moated fortress town guarding the capital Hanthawadi (modern Bago or Pegu). As one of the 32 towns surrounding Hanthawadi, the centre of the Mon kingdom in the 12th to 14th centuries AD, Lagunbyee played an important role as a military outpost. (2) It was in our time the place where the first ceramic cross-draft kiln was discovered in 1987 (about (16) years ago). We now know that there were at least (85) kilns in (15) sites in the Intagaw area around Lagunbyee indicating that it was once an important ceramic production centre. The site of the old moated and walled town is located at latitude 17 degrees 10 minutes N, and longitude 96 degrees 20 minutes E, about midway between the Ayeyawady and Sittaung river systems. It is on a large plain about a mile to the northwest of the main Yangon - Bago highway near the 32nd mile post. At the present time the nearest village is Min Lwin Gon about one mile and four furlongs to the south. The name of the town is connected with the Lagunbyee or Lagunbyin creek which forms its northern boundary: the road bridge across this creek is the border between the present Yangon and Bago Districts. -

Charney Chapter Goscha 2009 Volume
[Published as Charney, Michael W. (2009) 'Ludu Aung Than: Nu's Burma and the Cold War.' In: Goscha, Christopher and Ostermann, Christian, (eds.), Imperial Retreat and the Cold War in South and Southeast Asia, 1945-1962. Washington D.C.: Woodrow Wilson Center; Stanford: Stanford University Press, pp. 333-355]. “Ludu Aung Than: Nu’s Burma during the Cold War” Michael W. Charney Scholarship on the 1948–1950 period tends to argue that the communists should have won in Burma and that it was only by a fluke that the U Nu government survived. If that is true, then one could also argue that the a major communist insurrection, the Guomindang (GMD) presence, and an invasion by the People’s Republic of China all should have drawn Burma into the Cold War and that it was only by a fluke that it escaped alignment. From 1962, the military takeover that occurred during that year, however, became the primary focus of research on Burma for decades. One impact of this has been that Nu’s impressions of and domestic activities during the Cold War per se have not received due treatment in the literature. As prime minister, it was his domestic policies in the fledgling Burmese government that help to explain the rise of military rule. Mary Callahan has recently offered a detailed analysis of the emergence of the Burmese national army, especially during the first decade or so of independence. As Callahan suggests, the army’s experience in the turbulent late 1940s, the fear of the extension of Cold War intervention over the GMD presence in northeastern Burma and as a possible adjunct to the Korean action, and the perceived failures on the part of the civil government to achieve national unity and stability in the 1950s led the military leadership to take matters into their own hands, beginning a project that continues to this day to remold Burmese into supporters of the state.1 Civilian leaders, or those who ran the government prior to 1962, however, also attempted to remold the Burmese during the Cold War and in reference to it. -
Selected Short Stories of Thein Pe Myint
SELECTED SHORT STORIES OF THEIN PE M.YINT THE CORNELL UNIVERSITY SOUTHEAST ASIA PROGRAM The Southeast Asia Program was organized at Cornell University in the Department of Far Eastern Studies in 1950. It is a teaching and research program of interdisciplinary studies in the humanities, social sciences, and some natural sciences. It deals with Southeast Asia as a region, and with the individual countries of the area: Brunei, Burma, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. The activities of the Program are carried on both at Cornell and in Southeast Asia. They include an undergraduate and graduate curriculum at Cornell which provides instruction by specialists in Southeast Asian cultural history and present-day affairs and offers intensive training in each of the major languages of the area. The Program sponsors group research projects on Thailand, on Indonesia, on the Philippines, and on the area's Chinese minorities. At the same time, individual staff and students of the Program have done field research in every Southeast Asian country. A list of publications relating to Southeast Asia which may be obtained on prepaid order directly from the program is given at the end of this volume. Information on Program staff, fellowships, requirements for degrees, and current course offerings will be found in an Announcement of the Department of Asian Studies, obtainable from the Director, Southeast Asia Program, 120 Uris Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York 14850. 11 SELECTED SHORT STORIES OF THEIN PE MYINT Translated, with Introduction and Commentary, by Patricia M.

SOAS Bulletin of Burma Research Bibliographic Supplement (Winter, 2004) ISSN 1479- 8484 THE BIBLIOGRAPHY OF BURMA (MYANMAR) RESEARCH: THE SECONDARY LITERATURE (2004 Revision) Michael Walter Charney (comp.)1 School of Oriental and African Studies “The ‘Living’ Bibliography of Burma Studies: The Secondary Literature” was first published in 2001, with the last update dated 26 April 2003. The SOAS Bulletin of Burma Research has been expanded to include a special bibliographic supplement this year, and every other year hereafter, into which additions and corrections to the bibliography will be incorporated. In the interim, each issue of the SOAS Bulletin of Burma Research will include a supplemental list, arranged by topic and sub- topic. Readers are encouraged to contact the SOAS Bulletin of Burma Research with information about their publications, hopefully with a reference to a topic and sub-topic number for each entry, so that new information can be inserted into the bibliography correctly. References should be submitted in the form followed by the bibliography, using any of the entries as an example. Please note that any particular entry will only be included once, regardless of wider relevance. Eventually, all entries will be cross-listed to indicate other areas where a particular piece of research might be of use. This list has been compiled chiefly from direct surveys of the literature with additional information supplied by the bibliographies of numerous and various sources listed in the present bibliography. Additional sources include submissions from members of the BurmaResearch (including the former Earlyburma) and SEAHTP egroups, as well as public domain listings of personal publications on the internet. -

Viktor Orban, Prime Minister of Hungary; Office of the Prime Minister; Central European University
March 31, 2017 To: Mr. Zoltán Balog Minister of Human Capacities 1054 Budapest, Akadémia utca 3. Hungary CC: Viktor Orban, Prime Minister of Hungary; Office of the Prime Minister; Central European University Dear Minister Balog: As concerned partners, alumni and friends of Central European University in Myanmar, we write to express our solidarity with CEU regarding the proposed amendments to the National Higher Education Law that could endanger the academic freedom and institutional autonomy vital for CEU’s continued operation as an academic center of excellence in Budapest. In Myanmar, where higher education was under authoritarian control and isolation for decades, and where universities are finally joining the international family and making their first steps towards autonomy, and students and academics are starting to practice critical thinking in the classroom and in their research, CEU has become a steadfast partner and plays a significant role in this opening up. CEU has been among the first international universities that have initiated comprehensive development programs in support of our country’s higher education reform agenda and has been consistently contributing to policy dialogue, capacity building and internationalization of our universities. As a result of these programs hundreds of academics, students and university administrators in Myanmar have benefitted from CEU’s programs of support to the development of curriculum, teaching and research in the social sciences, access to the state-of-the-art learning resources and training in innovative pedagogy and research methods. CEU is actively assisting Myanmar policy bodies and universities in formulating the goals and frameworks for university autonomy and quality improvement in higher education, so vitally necessary for the modernization of our system, and links us to the most relevant international partners and national authorities in other countries who we can learn from. -

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT U Thein Pe Myint is one of the most widely read authors in Burma today, with novels, travelogues, political writings, biographies and plays to his credit, as well as a considerable journalistic out put* In addition to writing, he has always taken an active interest in politics and was formerly a politician. This duality of interests is reflected in his belief that literature may legitimately be used as propaganda for political purposes* This thesis presents a translation of eight short stories by Thein Pe Myint. The stories were written between 1934 and 1931 when the short story was becoming established as a literary genre in Burma. The aim of the translation has been to reproduce the spirit of the stories while keeping as close to the text as possible; when there are departures from the literal meaning of the text, these have been noted in the footnotes which are appended* The footnotes have also been used to elucidate linguistic and sociological points in the text, and to provide further background where necessary. -
