    IMPERCEPTIBLE NAKED-LIVES & ATROCITIES: FORCffiLY DISPLACED PEOPLES & THE THAI-BURMESE IN-BETWEEN SPACES A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI'I IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN POLITICAL SCIENCE MAY 2003 By Decha Tangseefa Dissertation Committee: Michael J. Shapiro, Chairperson Manfred Henningsen Sankara Krishna Nevzat Soguk Leslie E. Sponsel Acknowledgements When I was in the Burman-Karen war zones, in a gathering of forcibly displaced Karen, one of them asked me what made me decide to pursue this research. I responded to him that it had to do with one story and one incident. The story began with my illiterate mother's life-journey. When she was twelve, she migrated to Thailand with her "owner" boss after being sold to that family three years earlier by her fisher parents living in a seashore village of San Thou, in southeast China. Growing up listening to her stories of suffering, I had invariably felt anguished. But when I started to learn more about the forcibly displaced peoples along the Thai-Burmese border zones, I began to wonder why, as a Thai citizen, I knew almost nothing about them, and also why Thai society had rarely been concerned with the plight of at least one hundred thousand peoples living in a string of "camps" along the border zones and more than one million "illegal" laborers roaming in the country. The more I learnt about the tormenting stories of the forcibly displaced from Burma, the more my mother's stories paled.

  • Kanye West + Vincent Desiderio
    Kanye West + Vincent Desiderio NEW Y ORK ACADEMY OF ART NEW Y ORK Kanye West ACADEMY OF ART + Vincent Desiderio On June 24, 2016, Kanye West premiered the new music video for his song “Famous” off the album The Life of Pablo at a live screening at the Forum in Los Angeles. The video took as its inspiration the painting “Sleep” by New York Academy of Art faculty member Vincent Desiderio. “Sleep” was exhibited in 2004 at Marlborough Gallery, and is currently in a private collection. Desiderio was invited by West to preview the video before its release and was impressed with the result. In West’s vision, the anonymous models of Desiderio’s work are replaced by modern cultural icons of notoriety and fame, including Donald Trump, Anna Wintour, Taylor Swift, Caitlyn Jenner, Bill Cosby, George W. Bush, Kim Kardashian and West himself. Desiderio, who joined the Academy two decades ago, is a figurative painter. Previous to becoming a Senior Critic, he served as a full-time faculty member in painting. His works are included in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, DC, and the Denver Art Museum. Other Senior Critics at the Academy include other major figurative artists of our era, including Jenny Saville, Kurt Kauper, Eric Fischl, Steven Assael and Will Cotton.

  • Civilian Application of Wartime Military
    SWORDS INTO PLOWSHARES: CIVILIAN APPLICATION OF WARTIME MILITARY TECHNOLOGY IN MODERN JAPAN, 1945-1964 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Takashi Nishiyama, M.A. The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Professor James R. Bartholomew, Adviser Approved by Professor Philip C. Brown _____________________________ Professor John. F. Guilmartin, Jr. Graduate Program in History ABSTRACT This dissertation examines civilian application of military technology in Japan after World War II. As a case study, I focus on the historical metamorphosis of wartime technology ― such as military aircraft deployed for kamikaze suicide missions― into the highly successful Shinkansen high-speed bullet train. In retrospect, the shift in the socio-technological landscape in Japan after 1945 was drastic, spectacular, and unprecedentedly successful. Employing a bottom-up approach, I highlight the decentralized character of Japan’s conversion process from wartime to postwar eras. Specifically, I examine the roles of former military engineers in the public research and development sector at the grass roots-level. The crucial variable in the conversion process, I argue, was the remarkable adaptability and flexibility of these engineers and their knowledge, especially in support of Japan’s technological development. The course of the technological transformation was neither obvious nor preordained. It was largely idiosyncratic and contingent on numerous individual decisions and actions within the engineering community. At least the bullet train and other modern technological artifacts were a product of such ii development; postwar technological artifacts were essentially amalgamations, reproductions, and reconfigurations of pre-1945 technologies with little orchestrated effort from the top.
