  • Preparing a Successful Indiana Artisan Art & Fine
    PREPARING A SUCCESSFUL INDIANA ARTISAN ART & FINE CRAFT APPLICATION Indiana Artisan is an economic development organization accomplishing two things. It identifies, recognizes and promotes Indiana’s high-quality art, fine craft and foods and the Artisans who make them, with the goal of helping each Artisan expand their business. At the same time, Indiana Artisan is building a brand that identifies Indiana by its high-quality art, fine craft and foods, defining that brand by the work of the state’s highest-quality Artisans. Indiana Artisan defines art, fine craft, foods, and beverages broadly. To provide clarity, the work reviewed includes, but is not limited to: Basketry Home Accessories Musical Pottery Ceramics Jewelry Instruments Printmaking Fiber Leatherwork Outdoor Art Sculpture Folk Art Metalwork Painting/Drawing Toys/Games Furniture Mixed Media Papercraft Woodwork Glasswork Photography Two important things to note: o Candles and soaps/bath/body products fall outside Indiana Artisan’s definition of art and are not considered for adjudication. o Work must be able to be sold at retail, so commissioned and made-to-order work also are not considered for adjudication. There is no limit to the number of applications an applicant can submit; however, applicants should consider submitting no more than two. Why? It saves you time, effort and expense to learn the outcome and receive feedback. If the application is successful, you have a winning formula. If not, you will know how to approach a reapplication. The jury panels are comprised of different people each time, and the outcomes for applicants submitting more than two applications at one time have been consistently unsuccessful.

  • Translated from the Vietnamese by Quan Manh Ha University of Montana (USA)
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE Eyes 87 provided by Assumption Journals Eyes by Nam Cao (1915-1951) Translated from the Vietnamese by Quan Manh Ha University of Montana (USA) About the author: Nam Cao is the pseudonym of Tran Huu Tri. He is acclaimed as a short story writer and novelist in early twentieth-century Vietnamese literature. Throughout his writing career, Nam Cao was very aware of the responsibility of the realist writer: a writer must exercise both dignity and morality. Some of his famous works include “Chi Pheo” (1941), “Redundant Life” (1943), “Eyes” (1948), and “Story in the Frontier” (1948). In this story, “Eyes,” the Vietnamese title resonates metaphorically: the Vietnamese word implies differing points of view. The story contrasts the two main characters’ perspectives about the August Revolution of 1945 against the French and the role of the Vietnamese peasantry in the revolution, and it highlights the responsibility of the artist in wartime Vietnam. Nam Cao’s “Eyes” is considered a major statement on literary aesthetics for later Vietnamese writers, especially during the period of the Vietnam War. A young man from the village pointed me to a small brick gate and said, “Right here. Mr. Hoang lives here.”I tapped his shoulder and said, “Thanks. I’ll drop by your house later.” When I was about to enter the gate, he interrupted, “Hold on. Let me call Mr. Hoangto chain the dog first. It’s big and mean.” I watched the young man closely. I remembered my previous visits to Hoang’s home in Hanoi: after ringing the house bell, I always waited for Hoang himself to grab the leather collar of his huge dog—a Western-bred, German shepherd.

  • 3. Historyscape on the Border War
    Haunted Borderland The Politics on the Border War against China in post-Cold War Vietnam by Juhyung Shim Department of Cultural Anthropology Duke University Date:_______________________ Approved: ___________________________ Ralph A Litzinger, Supervisor ___________________________ Anne Allison ___________________________ Charles D Piot ___________________________ Michael Hardt Dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Cultural Anthropology in the Graduate School of Duke University 2014 ABSTRACT Haunted Borderland The Politics on the Border War against China in post-Cold War Vietnam by Juhyung Shim Department of Cultural Anthropology Duke University Date:_______________________ Approved: ___________________________ Ralph A Litzinger, Supervisor ___________________________ Anne Allison ___________________________ Charles D Piot ___________________________ Michael Hardt Dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Cultural Anthropology in the Graduate School of Duke University 2014 Copyright by Juhyung Shim 2014 Abstract This dissertation deals with the history and memory of the Border War with China in contemporary Vietnam. Due to its particularity as a war between two neighboring socialist countries in Cold War Asia, the Border War has been a sensitive topic in Vietnam. While political sensitivity regarding the national past derives largely from the Party-State, the history and memory of the war has permeated Vietnamese society. The war’s legacy can be seen in anti-China sentiments that, in the globalized neoliberal order, appear to be reviving alongside post-Cold War nationalism. The Border War against China represented an important nationalist turn for Vietnam. At the same time, the traumatic breakdown of the socialist fraternity cultivated anxiety over domestic and international relations.

  • Preparing a Successful Indiana Artisan Application
    PREPARING A SUCCESSFUL INDIANA ARTISAN APPLICATION ART & FINE CRAFT Panels of artists, fine craftspeople, art educators, gallery owners and directors, collectors, museum staff, and others with broad insight into art and fine craft review applications to Indiana Artisan twice annually – in May and Oct/Nov. No panel is comprised of the same group of people, allowing applications to be reviewed with a fresh perspective should applicants choose to apply multiple times. Application is only available online, at www.IndianaArtisan.org, and the application and timeline for the process is posted online months prior to each deadline. Once submitted, applications are reviewed by the panelists, with each noting strengths and questions. Obviously, your application speaks for you during this review, so it is important to tell your story well, explaining why you are the best at your art or craft, providing facts and thinking of, and answering, the questions panelists will want to know. The application questions are open-ended and encourage you to tell your story. Applicants whose submission is not successful, because the issue stems from unanswered jury panel questions, often are encouraged to reapply. PLEASE NOTE The application questions sound repetitive, and to some degree they are. The one application serves potters, painters, glass artists, jewelry artists, paper and wood artists, and a large variety of other media. For one application to meet all needs, there are subtle variations in the questions. PLEASE FEEL FREE to answer a question by saying “see my response to question #_;” however, be thoughtful about the intent of the question. Successful applicants are those who take the time to tell their story, and the story of their work, to the jury panelists.

  • Chapter 4. Handicraft and Artisan Crafts
    Chapter 4 Handicraft and Artisan Crafts August 2019 This chapter should be cited as ERIA (2019), ‘Handicraft and Artisan Crafts’, in Ambashi, M. (ed.), Development Strategy of Five Selected Sectors in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic (2020-2025). ERIA Research Project Report FY2018 no.7, Jakarta: ERIA, pp.61─77. Chapter 4 Handicrafts and Artisan Crafts 1. Current State 1.1. Recognition of Current State While the state of handicrafts and artisan crafts (hereafter referred to collectively as ‘handicrafts’) in the Lao PDR is not advanced in comparison with those in developed countries, the differences often lie in specifications and accuracy, and many of these can be settled through appropriate corrections and education. Handicrafts in the Lao PDR can be described as ‘charming, graceful, tasteful, and attractive.’ It is important to make use of these features in accordance with the nature and use of the products. Materials produced in the Lao PDR, such as silk threads and timber, have world-class potential. However, the country's population is generally unaware of this fact and they are somewhat lacking in the skills necessary to process these materials into products. For example, they do not yet realise that improving certain skills (such as the use of spindle machines instead of manual work to process cocoons into silk threads or the adoption of the latest colour-fixing agent after dyeing) can raise the level of handicraft products to a global standard. The Lao government does not currently take note of types of handicraft products in the country, and often focuses solely on products already widely circulated throughout the marketplace.

  • Indirectness in Vietnamese Newspaper Commentaries: a Pilot Study
    INDIRECTNESS IN VIETNAMESE NEWSPAPER COMMENTARIES: A PILOT STUDY Thai Tran A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2007 Committee: Kristine Blair, Advisor Joseph Chao Graduate Faculty Representative Sue Carter Wood Shirley Ostler ii ABSTRACT Kristine Blair, Advisor Since ESL literature has ascribed circuitous textual development, covert ideational connections, and usage of implicative devices to second-language-writing indirectness, the purpose of this project was to inquire into (1) whether Vietnamese writing in both English and Vietnamese exhibited any or all the three aspects of indirectness, (2) how the employment of the second language as a vehicle of thought as well as the concern with the intended audience might influence the writer’s utilization of such indirectness, and (3) whether such manifestations might negatively affect Western text interpretation. My survey of forty commentaries written in English and in the native language from eight Vietnamese newspapers, four targeting senior audience and four aiming at junior readers, indicated that (1) the general textual advancements were quasi-deductive and quasi-inductive, (2) texts in the second language seemed to be developed in an approach closer to the deductive method (i.e.; quasi-deductive), (3) the theme- delay progression appeared to be the general writing tendency in both the native- and foreign- language texts, (4) implicit inter-propositional connections might be problematic for Western readers, (5) the L2 inappropriate employment of indirectness devices might involve a lack of instruction in style and tone, and (6) more influences of language than audience on the usage of indirectness in all the three aspects.
