Ruoff, Chair Laura Robson Jennifer Tappan Portland State University 2019 © 2019 Jeff Braytenbah Abstract Japan’s colonial activities on the island of Hokkaido were instrumental to the creation of modern Japanese national identity. Within this construction, the indigenous Ainu people came to be seen in dialectical opposition to the 'modern' and 'civilized' identity that Japanese colonial actors fashioned for themselves. This process was articulated through travel literature, ethnographic portraiture, and discourse in scientific racism which racialized perceived divisions between the Ainu and Japanese and contributed to the unmaking of the Ainu homeland: Ainu Mosir.

  • Global Invasive Plants in Thailand and Its Status and a Case Study of Hydrocotyle Umbellata L
    Global invasive plants in Thailand and its status and a case study of Hydrocotyle umbellata L. Siriporn Zungsontiporn Weed Science Group, Plant Protection Research and Development Office, Department of Agriculture, Bangkok, Thailand 10900 Email: [email protected] Summary Global invasive plant may invade in some countries, but it is not invasive plant in its native country or in range of distribution. Those plants are utilized in some means, such as vegetable, fruit, ornamental plant or medicinal plant in it native country or even it was invasive plant but people learned how to manage with that plant, they can utilize it. On the contrary way, an invasive plant of any country may not be invasive in any country else. Most of the invasive plants are intentionally introduced to a country for some purpose especially for ornamental plant. Hydrocotyle umbrellata L. was introduced to Thailand as ornamental plant, the plant can grow well and with some habit of invasive plant of this plant, nowadays the plant was found in many natural areas as weed. Introduction Most of invasive plant in an area is alien plant which was introduced from different habitat within a country or other country across geographic barrier. Well development of transportation stimulates traveling and international trading which cause of increasing introduction of alien species. Some of introduced alien plants can establish and spread out if it can adapt itself to survive in the new habitat well. If the environment of new habitat is suitable for it growth, the plant may express it invasiveness and compete for space and nutrient with native plant which it may complete over native plants due to lack of it natural enemy in new habitat.

Professor Michael Herzfeld Claudio Sopranzetti The Owners of the Map: Motorcycle Taxi Drivers, Mobility, and Politics in Bangkok. Abstract This dissertation offers an ethnography of motorcycle taxi drivers: Bangkok’s most important and informal network of everyday mobility. Drawing on over eight years of experience in the region, six months of archival research, and 24 months of fieldwork, I analyze how the drivers, mostly male rural migrants, negotiate their presence in the city through spatial expertise, bodily practices, and social relations. Their physical mobility through traffic, I argue, shapes their ability to find unexplored routes in the social, economic, and political landscapes of the city and to create paths for action where other urban dwellers see a traffic jam or a political gridlock.

La diametral diferencia entre una y otra cultura, la incompatibilidad de contenidos anímicos — acaso con la excepción de Filipinas para lo relativo al trasfondo de catolicismo — que comportaban dichas partes del mundo, totalizaban la cobertura de registros que yo entendía como óptima para justificar mis desvelos, mis contactos significativos con mujeres que dieran sentido a lo que en este momento vengo ya haciendo desde hace diez volúmenes y sobre lo que espero perseverar durante dos o tres más. Literaturizar mis encuentros era tanto como llenar de realidad a las mujeres titulares de ellos. Sin ella — la literatura — ellas — las chicas — eran módulos virtuales vagando por las ondas del ámbito desiderativo, materias peregrinas tan sólo candidatas meritorias a ser enaltecidas por el toque de la forma. Ya piden 250 pesos por el traslado desde el aeropuerto hasta el centro de Santo Domingo, pero se puede conseguir por doscientos.

  • THAI MIDDLE-CLASS WOMEN and FARANG MEN by CHRISTINE
    EXAMINING THE AMBIGUOUS ALLURE OF THE FARANG - THAI MIDDLE-CLASS WOMEN AND FARANG MEN By CHRISTINE WESTER MSc Contemporary Asian Studies Graduate School of Social Sciences University of Amsterdam 2016 Student No. 11129158 [email protected] Word count: 25,194 Dr. Olga Sooudi Supervisor ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This is not the thesis I thought I was going to write and my endeavour turned out to become challenging on both the academic and the personal level. I have been interested in transnational relationships - not only romantic relationships - for a long time and by starting this study I was able to commit myself to this topic for many months. Soon after engaging in academic literature and numerous conversations with people in the field, I changed my approach and began rethinking my own conceptions about people´s relationships and gender orders. Writing this thesis about transnational relationships would not have been possible without the work of other researchers on whose work I relied and who I mention and quote throughout this thesis. I owe special debt to the following people whose support is crucial to this study and the completion of my thesis: my thesis supervisor, Dr. Olga Sooudi, for her academic guidance, dedication, and mentorship much needed throughout the process, the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom for its financial support without which I would not have been able to finish my studies, but also for the valuable network it provided me, and my mother for her steady support in various ways during my studies. My biggest "thank you" goes to the women and men who shared their experiences of Bangkok city dating life with me and to the many people who introduced me to these wonderful places and sources of information and inspiration.

  • On “Gringos” and “Natives”: Gender and Sexuality in the Context of International Sex Tourism in Fortaleza, Brazil
    On “gringos” and “natives”: gender and sexuality in the context of international sex tourism in Fortaleza, Brazil. Adriana Piscitelli Núcleo de Estudos de Gênero - UNICAMP/SP, Brazil e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Drawing on research carried out about male European heterosexual sex tourists and young, low income local women, this paper explores the intersections of gender, sexuality, nationality, class and colour in the context of a modality of international sex tourism in Fortaleza, the state capital of Ceara in Northeastern Brazil. Focusing on relationships that include prostitution and romance, it argues that for understanding the dynamics of transnational encounters attention is recquired on how those differences are set in motion amid foreigners’ and local people’s reciprocal perceptions. 1 A preliminary version of this paper was delivered at the 2001 Meeting of the Latin American Studies Association, Washington DC, 5/8 August, 2001. Presentation1 Anthropologists who discuss research on tourism call attention to the necessity of embedding such work on theories allowing them to deal with representations and power, practice and discourse, notions related to simulacrum and authenticity. Entering these discussions, Edward Bruner affirms that diverse forms of contemporary tourism, amongst which sexual tourism, convert the Third World into a playground for the Western imagination. According to this author, tours organized in industrial countries say more about the representations tourists have of Others than about the visited societies (Bruner, 1989, 438-441). These reflections are helpful when contemplating sex tourism. When considering, however, the contexts in which these trips take place, one becomes aware of the necessity of developing more complex ideas about them.
