    Laos, Known As the “Land of a Million Elephants,” Is a Landlocked Country in Southeast Asia About the Size of Kansas

    DO NOT COPY WITHOUT PERMISSION OF AUTHOR Simon J. Bronner, ed. ENCYCLOPEDIA OF AMERICAN FOLKLIFE. Armonk, NY: M.E. Sharpe, 2005. Rachelle H. Saltzman, Iowa Arts Council, Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs [email protected] LAO Laos, known as the “Land of a Million Elephants,” is a landlocked country in Southeast Asia about the size of Kansas. The elephant symbolizes the ancient kingdom of Lan Xang, and is sacred to the Lao people, who believe it will bring prosperity to their country. Bordered by China to the north, Vietnam to the east, Cambodia to the south, Thailand to the west, and Myanmar (formerly Burma) to the northwest, Laos is a rough and mountainous land interwoven with forests and plateaus. The Mekong River, which runs through the length of Laos and supplies water to the fertile plains of the river basin, is both symbolically and practically, the lifeline of the Lao people, who number nearly 6 million. According to Wayne Johnson, Chief for the Iowa Bureau of Refugee Services, and a former Peace Corps Volunteer, “the river has deep meaning for the ethnic Lao who are Buddhist because of the intrinsic connection of water with the Buddhist religion, a connection that does not exist for the portion of the population who are non-ethnically Lao and who are animists.” Formally known as the Kingdom of Laos, and now known as Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Laos was, in previous centuries, periodically independent and periodically part of the Khmer (Cambodian), Mongol, Vietnamese, and Thai (Siamese) empires. Lao, Thai, and Khmer (but not Vietnamese) share a common heritage evident today in similar religion, music, food, and dance traditions as well as language and dress.

MASTER THESIS Carolien Potter HASSELT UNIVERSITY FACULTY OF ARCHITECTURE AND ARTS 2014 - 2015 Supervisor: Dr. Katelijn Quartier Tutor: Philippe Swartenbroux PREFACE The first words of my thesis I would like to dedicate to those who have supported me during the project, even when I was 10.000 kilometres away from them. First and foremost I would like to thank my supervisor Dr. Katelijn Quartier for her honest advise and feed- back throughout the research project. Secondly I would like to thank Philippe Swartenbroux, for the nu- merous tutorials, clever suggestions and motivating inspirations. Many thanks for letting me see that the solution was often right in front of me. Furthermore I would like to thank everyone who made it possible for me to go to Hong Kong in the first place, as well as my friends who showed me the city and the outlying island, as if I were a local. Also many thanks to those who helped me make my trip abroad a whole new experience. And last but not least I want to thank particularly my boyfriend Domien, for the love and patience during the project, as well as my friends and family for their encouragements and support when I needed it the most. ABSTRACT Even from the times before Marco Polo travelled and documented his travels to Asia, there has been an interest in other unknown countries to write about it and to show others the interesting and different customs from those cultures.

    Herbal Cooling Tea and Cultural Regionalism in Post-SARS China

    Concentric: Literary and Cultural Studies 44.2 September 2018: 163-195 DOI: 10.6240/concentric.lit.201809_44(2).0007 Cooling China’s Body: Herbal Cooling Tea and Cultural Regionalism in Post-SARS China Tsung-Yi Michelle Huang Department of Geography National Taiwan University, Taiwan Szu-Yun Hsu Department of Geography University of British Columbia, Canada Chun-Kai Woo Department of Geography National Taiwan University, Taiwan Abstract This essay employs the recent development of traditional medicine in Lingnan, South China, and the role it plays in the popularization of Chinese herbal cooling tea as an example to lay bare how a traditional medicine-focused nationalist project is enacted and enabled at the local level. The first part of the essay explains how the resulting discursive practice of traditional medicine reinforces the link between nationalized Chinese culture and health security agenda, shaping an ethic of communal biosecurity. The second part foregrounds the importance of scale, especially that of the provincial and the regional, in scrutinizing the ways through which the nation-wide Chinese medicine policies come into force in contemporary China.
