We are grateful to all the people who contributed to these dialogues. We are especially thankful to Rosalind Morris, Xiang Biao, Joe Errington, and Ben Kiernan, all of whom provided incisive comments that shaped our thinking just as our plans for the book were beginning to take shape. Mike McGovern provided invaluable comments on the introduction, and Andrew Carruthers and two anonymous reviewers gave us many helpful suggestions for improving the entire manuscript. At the University of Hawai‘i Press we would like to thank Pamela Kelley for her ongoing enthusiasm and support for the project, Cheri Dunn for managing the transformation of the manuscript into a book, and Lee S. Motteler for careful copyediting. The dialogues that underpin the book were made possible through the sup- port of a number of funding agencies and institutions, including the Swedish School of Advanced Asia Pacific Studies, the Yale University Council on Southeast Asian Studies, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, the Swedish Foundation for International Cooperation in Research and Higher Education, and the Edward J. and Dorothy Clarke Kempf Fund administered by the MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies at Yale. We thank Quang Phu Van, Indriyo K. Sukmono, Michael Dove, Kristine Mooseker, and Yale graduate students for helping to make the Yale Workshop the success that it was. We are also grateful to Behzad FOR PERSONAL ixUSE ONLY x Acknowledgments Sarmadi and Jean Chia, who worked on the index and helped prepare the final manuscript for submission. Finally, we are indebted to Cornell Southeast Asia Publications for per- mission to republish portions of an earlier article that helped set the stage for this book: Joshua Barker, Johan Lindquist, et al., “Figures of Indonesian Modernity,” Indonesia 87 (April 2009): 35–72. FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY PROLOGUE uLf hannerz My visits to Southeast Asia have been rather few and far between, but as the manuscript of Figures of Southeast Asian Modernity comes into my hands, I am reminded of some particular moments and experiences. My first encounter with the region was in early May 1975, when I arrived in Bangkok—and it was only a few days after Saigon had (as the common term had it) “fallen,” and the long war in Vietnam was finally over. According to the widely ac- cepted “domino theory,” it would be Bangkok next. That prospect was anx- iously debated in at least some quarters of the city those days. A little later, in Penang, I made my first acquaintance with an important Southeast Asian institution, the food court—at the time not yet so common elsewhere in the world, but to my mind a sort of tropical megaversion of a smorgasbord—and I also had my first taste of the durian fruit. Then in 1987, I happened to arrive in Manila just a few days after a coup attempt by a dashing young colonel, “Gringo” Honasan. It was not yet quite clear whether the attempt was really over. There were soldiers behind sand- bags here and there in the streets. Nobody seemed quite sure where “Gringo” was: still in the city? In the forest? On an American gunboat, outside the harbor? The so-called mosquito press, tabloids in black-and-red print that had emerged after the fall of the Marcos regime, seemed to spread rumors and speculations efficiently. And then Corazon Aquino, still president de- spite “Gringo’s” endeavor, went on television to speak to the nation. She started out, spectacles on, speaking in English, reading from a manuscript. Then she made a very brief pause, took her glasses off, looked straight into FOR PERSONAL xiUSE ONLY xii Prologue the camera, and continued speaking in Pilipino—at which point, of course, I was lost. A couple of months later, when I was in Kuala Lumpur, there was the moment when Prime Minister Mohathir Mohamad targeted a varied set of people whom he defined as adversaries, placing them in detention, in what became known as Operation Lalang. (In Khoo Gaik Cheng’s account of Malaysian political satire in this volume, we are reminded in passing of this event.) Recently in Singapore (2011), I found public attention focused on a new book featuring an interview with Lee Kuan Yew, father of the city-state, by a set of local journalists. Lee, now in his late eighties, still with a unique official position as minister mentor (abbreviated MM in the media), apparently as self-confident as ever and still a man of strong opinions, had offered some views on the place of Muslims (in this context, basically meaning Malays) in society, and then the current prime minister, who also happens to be the min- ister mentor’s son, had to display his capacity for damage control.

  • Nationalism by Design: the Politics of Dress in British Burma by Penny
    -1- Nationalism by Design: The Politics of Dress in British Burma By Penny Edwards. IIAS Newsletter 46 (Winter 2008). Colonial attempts to hem in racial and gender difference through practice, law and lore made dress a potent field of resistance in British Burma, giving rise to new strands of nationalism by design. On 22 November 1921, a young male named Maung Ba Bwa was apprehended by police at the ShwedaGon PaGoda in RanGoon. MaunG Ba Bwa was one of an unusually hiGh number of Burmans visitinG the paGoda on this November evening for an exhibition of weaving, and a performance of a phwe (Burmese traditional theatre) by two leadinG artists. In MaunG Ba Bwa’s recollection of events, “his attire” had attracted police attention. “He was wearinG a pinni jacket and Yaw longyi, obviously rather self-consciously and in demonstration of his nationalist sympathies,” stated the resultant police report; “He seems, possibly not without reason, to think that some Government officers reGard such clothes with disapproval.” MaunG Ba Bwa was brouGht in for questioninG followinG the storminG of the ShwedaGon by British and Indian police, when Gurkhas “desecrated the paGoda by rushing up the steps with their boots on.” In the ensuinG fracas, which pitted monks aGainst such colonial aGents of ‘order,’ a Burmese civilian was killed. The scholar- official J. S. Furnivall, who presided over an independent commission of inquiry into the police response, would also pin his diaGnosis of Maung Ba Bwa’s political orientation on his wardrobe. His pinni jacket and his longyi, the commission reported, were proof positive of his “nationalist sentiment.”1 Wearing your politics on your sleeve By the early 1920s, in a climate where speakinG out or publishinG critiques of colonialism saw some younG monks and other activists jailed for years, increasinG numbers of Burmese civilians -- like MaunG Ba Bwa -- chose to express their political leaninGs in their dress.

  • School of Psychology and Speech Pathology
    School of Psychology and Speech Pathology Talking about health, wellbeing and disability in young people: an Aboriginal perspective Caris Lae Jalla This thesis is presented for the Degree of Master of Philosophy of Curtin University February 2016 DECLARATION To the best of my knowledge and belief this thesis contains no material previously published by any other person except where due acknowledgment has been made. This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university. Signature: Caris Jalla Date: ii ABSTRACT In many Indigenous languages globally, there is often no directly translatable word for disability. For Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, the prevalence of disability is greater compared to non-Indigenous populations. Despite the gap in rates, access to disability supports and services are lower and disproportional. One factor impacting low service access may be the differing views of disability between Aboriginal and Torres Strait cultures and mainstream Western perspectives. The objectives of this research were to investigate the meaning of health, wellbeing and disability from the viewpoint of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youths and to describe the facilitators and barriers to health and wellbeing for people with disabilities. These investigations also identified Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people’s perceptions on the causes of disability and explored concepts associated with living with disability. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youths, both with and without disabilities, residing in Perth, Western Australia (WA) and aged nine to 26 years were invited to participate in qualitative research. Yarning circles were conducted in various home and community settings around the metropolitan area.

    IMAGINED ASEAN IDENTITY IN THAI TELEVISION PROGRAMS Pitak Chumongkol A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Communication Arts and Innovation) The Graduate School of Communication Arts and Management Innovation National Institute of Development Administration 2017 ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation Imagined ASEAN Identity in Thai Television Programs Author Mr. Pitak Chumongkol Degree Doctor of Philosophy (Communication Arts and Innovation) Year 2017 This study was a qualitative research aimed to analyze the construction of ASEAN identity in Thai television programs and the decoding of ASEAN identity conveyed in Thai television program by the youth audience. Textual analysis of 6 television programs presenting social and cultural content about ASEAN during 2014- 2016, totaling 57 episodes, was conducted with in-depth interview with 25 students in the area of ASEAN Studies from 4 universities: Kasetsart, Thammasart, Chiangmai, and Walailuk. The following findings were found: All Thai television programs constructed ASEAN identity from the point of view of Thais. From analysis by narrative components: plot, character, conflict, scene, theme, special symbol, and point of view, five ASEAN identities were found: 1) harmonized ASEAN 2) united ASEAN amidst diversity 3) Hybrid ASEAN 4) ASEAN with past conflict 5) competing ASEAN. “Harmonized ASEAN” and “ United ASEAN amidst diversity” was found the most, and next was “Hybrid ASEAN.” All three identities conveyed positive relations between Thais and Neighbors. As for the decoding of the youth audience, the audience decoded with “preferred reading” more than “negotiated” and “oppositional” reading. “Hybrid ASEAN” was all decoded with preferred reading without any deconstruction.
