News Release Cool Japan Fund Inc. Tokyo, March 9, 2018 Investing in the Content Production and Japanese Content Distribution Business for Television Broadcast in the Republic of the Union of Myanmar Cool Japan Fund is pleased to announce an investment of approximately 16 million USD in a joint venture project for conducting content production by introducing up-to-date broadcast equipment and distributing Japanese content in Myanmar in cooperation with Japan International Broadcasting Inc. (JIB) and the Fund Corporation for the Overseas Development of Japan’s ICT and Postal Services (JICT) through a major media conglomerate in Myanmar called Shwe Than Lwin Media Co., Ltd. (STLM), and its terrestrial broadcasting station Myanmar National Television (MNTV). This enterprise will not only newly offer Japanese content to MNTV and other STLM’s channels, which have broadcasted NHK’s historical dramas such as Sanadamaru and Atsuhime as well as other programs from Japanese commercial TV stations, but also produce collaboration programs by using the Japanese television program formats. Through distributing Japanese content in Myanmar, Cool Japan Fund aims to promote Japanese products and services, and contribute to strengthen the relations between both countries. There is also a potential ripple effect leading the increase of tourists from Myanmar to Japan in the future.

High Status of Women in Burma
THE ‘TRaditiOnal’ HigH StatUS oF Wom En In BuRm A: A Historical Reconsideration Chie Ikeya This article traces the genealogy of a persistent cultural stereo- type that has long defined and constituted academic and popular knowledge about Burma and, more broadly, Southeast Asia: the “tra- ditional” high status of women. Although Southeast Asia scholars today generally concur that claims about the high status of women in the region are oversimplified and problematic, postcolonial scholars of Burma largely have perpetuated the discourse of gender equality, which has deterred any attempt to complicate conceptualizations of gender relations and hierarchies in historical Burma. This study investigates the process whereby the “traditional” autonomy of Burmese women was constructed in opposition to the likewise “traditional” subordinate status of women in South Asia and in contestation of the superiority of European culture and soci- ety. It argues that this “tradition” is a product of the multivalent representational practice by colonizing and colonized women and men in unequal relations of power who coauthored essentially and powerfully gendered discourses of colonialism, modernization, and nationalism. This article concludes by suggesting possible ways to move beyond the practice of enshrining persistent and monolithic cultural stereotypes as essential components of Southeast Asian his- tory and to engender scholarship of the region firmly located within, not isolated from, specific and complex historical contexts. Gender and Tradition in Southeast Asian History Since at least the nineteenth century, the notion of the “traditional” high status of women in Southeast Asia has been foundational to paradigmatic understandings of the region as a distinct geopolitical and cultural entity separate from the rest of Asia (i.e., South and East Asia) yet part of the greater East. -
