Continuity and Transformation of Rural Communal Temples in Vietnam: A Case Study of Tân Chánh Village, Long An Province International Journal of Asia Pacific Studies Pub Date : 2021-07-30 Thi Phuong Lan Ngo,Ngoc Tho Nguyen
Vietnamese communal temples (đình làng) were primarily established with two functions: (1) as a state-patronised institution to organise and control the village politically and culturally and (2) as a place of worship of village deities and meritorious predecessors. Both functions interact and complement each other – in many cases, the second serves as both a “means” and “technique” to deploy the first

Besides the more obvious threats and impediments to human security posed by conflict or natural disaster, a central problem in examining and addressing multiple insecurities in Southeast Asia is at what level.

Does public approval shape news? Competing legitimacies and news headlines in the Philippines from Ramos to Aquino III International Journal of Asia Pacific Studies Pub Date : 2021-01-15 Gabrielle Ann S. Mendoza,Rogelio Alicor L. Panao
Can a president’s high public approval, vis-à-vis competing coordinate institutions, shape press coverage of political events? Testing theories of executive scandals, this paper argues that in the context of Philippine presidential democracy, presidential satisfaction shapes the production of political events more than the presence of other policy issues competing for broadsheet space. Using logistic

Until recently, virtually all information about the past in Vietnam was produced by scholars working for the state, mainly university professors, and published in print media. In recent years, however, private individuals have begun to make use of the Internet to offer new perspectives on the Vietnamese past, and in some cases to print their work. Some of these amateur historians have now produced

Education Governance Reforms and Skills Certification of Filipino Entertainment Workers Exported to Japan (1994-2004) International Journal of Asia Pacific Studies Pub Date : 2019-07-15 Mark Maca
Japan has a unique role as a niche market for “entertainment work” in the Philippine labour export enterprise. Filipinos first started working there as relatively highstatus musicians (kashu) in the 1800s, and continued in such roles during WWII and into the post-war era of United States occupation. But towards the end of the 1970s, the status of migrant Filipino entertainers underwent a transformation

Swearwords are intentionally employed in movies to express certain pragmatic functions including portraying characters’ inner feelings, their social and educational background and the relationship between the characters. Such functions need to be preserved in the interlingual/intercultural subtitling so that the communicative effects of swearwords are duly transferred to the target audience. However

Throughout the years, linguistic landscape research has emerged as a formidable approach in examining the role of public signs in social life in different communities. From a wider perspective, the study of public signs shows the influence of multilingualism on the social life of communities as they are tied to cultural, sociopolitical and even economic ideologies.

Demystifying Power in Community Development Practice International Journal of Asia Pacific Studies Pub Date : 2019-01-15 Anif Fatma Chawa, Universitas Brawijaya, Indonesia, Marty Grace, Victoria University, Australia
This article seeks to understand the issue of power as the root-concept of empowerment as the main objective of community development practices. The empowerment objective requires distribution of power to powerless people or community. This could be problematic if community development practitioners already have power over communities, including a mining company. This study examines to what extent

The result of the first (and the subsequent) contact between the West and the East is an Oriental documentation, colonial establishment and notional subject-making of the East by the supposedly civilised and advanced West. Like all Orients, the Pacific has been much represented and made subjects of theoretical discourses, characterised as bare-breasted and sexually available women, murderous and lecherous

Private Law Schools in Indonesia: Their Development, Governance and Role in Society International Journal of Asia Pacific Studies Pub Date : 2018-07-15 V. Selvie Sinaga, Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia, Indonesia
Legal education in Indonesia was introduced in the Dutch colonial period. During the early years of Indonesia’s independence, legal education was mostly offered by public universities, and all public law schools were funded entirely by the government of Indonesia. Consequently, the views and policies of these law schools mostly paralleled the government of Indonesia’s policies and views. Later, private

Ganesa has long been familiar to the people of Thailand but increasingly evident are the Ganesa cults flourishing in Bangkok. In the process, the deity appears to be acquiring new roles and functions. Ganesa now serves in a number of capacities for some; he is a “fixer,” a deity of last resort that can help devotees to overcome obstacles in their lives. Not surprisingly, the growing popularity of the

The Value of Knowledge in the Malay Mind: A Cognitive Semantic Analysis International Journal of Asia Pacific Studies Pub Date : 2018-07-15 Khazriyati Salehuddin, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Malaysia
knowledge is a universal concept that permeates all nations and civilisations. Like any other concepts, knowledge is also manifested in the form of figurative expressions. Previous studies have shown that the figurative expressions used in a particular language are closely related to the culture in which that particular language is used; this phenomenon is consistent with the linguistic relativity

Reconstructing and Redefining Hokkaido During the Post-War Period International Journal of Asia Pacific Studies Pub Date : 2018-01-15 Juha Saunavaara, Hokkaido University, Japan
The dominating and often contradicting tendencies of the early post-war Hokkaido were the continuing otherness, foreignness and distinctiveness from the rest of Japan, and the growing integration into the nation state. In other words, Hokkaido became more tightly connected to and more a part of Japan than ever before, but it clearly retained its peculiarity and was not simply a region or prefecture

Myanmar is transitioning to an open market economy, but very little is known about Myanmar consumers and their attitudes towards globalisation. Using Hofstede’s cultural dimensions and social identity theory, this study sheds light on the role Myanmar consumers’ cultural values and social identity play in consumer preferences. This study also explores the relationship between Myanmar identity and consumers’
