  • Regional Networks of Knowledge in Eastern Asia Interrupted Histories
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com Procedia Social and Behavioral Sciences 2 (2010) 7479–7485 Selected Papers of Beijing Forum 2004 Regional Networks of Knowledge in Eastern Asia Interrupted Histories Anthony Reid Professor, Asia Research Institute, NUS, Singapore Eastern Asia has suffered more than most regions from the mutual incomprehensions that stem from differences of language, civilization, history and memory. It has often seemed in the era of relative peace since 1980 that contacts were being made for the first time, and that the painful construction of ASEAN and its regional dialogue partnerships were processes of new discovery. Of course this is an exaggerated view. There is a story to be told both for Southeast Asia and for the broader region of eastern Asia of attempts to see the collectivity of these regions and to organise networks within them. This paper will focus primarily on networks of knowledge rather than networks of power. The relations between governments in eastern Asia have been heavy with inequalities, and frequently poisoned by war and domination. That story is moreover well known, albeit in a variety of contested national versions. More interesting for our purposes is the story of networks of scholarship, through academic publications and structures in the twentieth century though more often religious contacts before that. Perhaps partly through my own bias as a Southeast Asianist, it appears to me that the story of these non- government networks of knowledge parallels in some ways the story of ASEAN + three in recent times. So dominant were the power relations and rivalries of Northeast Asia that the more successful informal networks of knowledge often arose in Southeast Asia and spread north and east.

  • Churches and Missions in Penang, Melaka and Singapore from 1786-1842 John Roxborogh (1990)
    Early nineteenth-century foundations of Christianity in Malaya: Churches and missions in Penang, Melaka and Singapore from 1786-1842 John Roxborogh (1990) 1. INTRODUCTION Today Christianity in Malaysia and Singapore seeks an identity which is true to its own energy and cultures at the same time as it is conscious of its participation in a universal faith. It is also important that it be aware of its own history. While associations with the British period have now faded, it remains nevertheless an era worthy of study, just as the nature of that association still requires examination. The years between the arrival of the British in Penang and the signing of the Treaty of Nanking cover a time when British interests in the region developed but did not yet extend beyond the Straits Settlements. It was no accident that this was also a period of Christian expansion, yet the links were on the whole indirect. For the churches, it was a time when if seldom at government direction, then at least under a British umbrella, a new influx of missionary interest both took root and lost impetus. Such an influx was not to be repeated until later in the century and again in the 1950s, and in any case much of the core of modern Christianity in the end derives as much from migrant Christian communities as from the work of missionaries in Malaya. Nevertheless the diversification and growth of the church during the early 19th century was not insignificant. What began as a sleepy community of Catholic Portuguese, over a period of 60 years came to encompass other races and at least some other denominations.

It is through his help that I was able to develop my inclination to research the history of the Archdiocese of Singapore into a coherent academic thesis. I would also like to thank my family and friends whose support helped me through the trials that I faced as I worked towards producing this thesis. They have served, without complaint, as sounding boards for my ideas and, when the stress became too much, as patient listeners when I felt the need to vent my frustrations. I am very grateful for their patience. My gratitude extends to my interviewees as well. Many of them made time for me in their busy schedules so as to allow me to interview them. Many of them also provided me access to documents that I would have otherwise been unable to acquire—for that they have my thanks. Lastly, I would like to extend my appreciation to all the institutions, which granted me access to their archives to facilitate my research. I would especially like to thank the staff of The Catholic News and St.

    rfc-3 CATHOLIC DIRECTORY OF INDIA, CEYLON AND BURMA 1926. PUBLISHED BY THE CATHOLIC SUPPLY SOCIETY, MADRAS. PRINTED AT THE “ GOOD PASTOR ” PRESS, BROADWAY, MADRAS. Yale Divinity Library New Haven, Conn. M m y. 7ê NOTE. The Catholic Directory, now in its 76th year of publication, was known up to 1912 as the Madras Catholic Directory and Annual General Register. It was then preceded by the Or do redtandi Officii Divini, etc., which is now issued separately. Each sheet of the Directory contains, as fa r as possible, the latest information down to the time of its going to press. Nihil obstat. P. JUSTIN VÏON, Censor Deputatus. Imprimatur : * J. AELEN, Archbishop of Madras. Madras, 15th Januaiy 1926. PREFACE. In offering the Catholic Directory for 1926, the editor thinks he ought to tender a few words of apology to the reader. Fully aware of the many short-comings, omissions and oversights which have crept in the present issue, the editor can vouchsafe to assert that this is a fair attempt at embo­ dying most of the suggestions and construc­ tive criticisms which were sent to him in the course of last year. The chief improvement of the present issue consists in this : the book has been divided into three parts : 1. General Informa­ tion ; 2. Territorial Units ; 3. Alphabetical Lists and References. This renders classifi­ cation of items more easy and opens the way for further improvements which we contemplate in the next issue. The Historical Notes of several dioceses have been recast and to make them still more precise and concise the editor ventures to call for the help of all those who could give any assistance on the subject.

Proceedings SEAGA 2012, 27-30 Nov Singapore The Heritage Battles of Penang, Kuala Lumpur, and Melaka in Malaysia Kevin Blackburn National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University Singapore [email protected] Abstract This paper examines the political battles over heritage in Penang, Kuala Lumpur and Melaka since Malaysian independence. These preceded the successful listing of George Town in Penang and Melaka as World Heritage in July 2008, helping raise public consciousness on the value of built heritage in Malaysia. The decision to make George Town and Melaka World Heritage cities was taken in 1998 by the Malaysian government in conjunction with the Penang and Melaka State governments after a long succession of heritage battles led by Malaysian Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs). The key heritage battles include the 1984 galvanising of the Chinese community against the development of Bukit China in Melaka. For Penang, the focus is on the protest against rapid urban redevelopment in George Town during the real estate boom of the early 1990s. According to architect and Vice-President of Badan Warisan Malaysia (the Malaysian Heritage Trust), Laurence Loh, speaking in 1996, ‘More old buildings have been knocked down in Penang in the last five years than in the last 30 years’.
