The Cultural Development Of Vietnam: Updating Policy For 2020, Dung Nguyen Manh
Journal of Urban Culture Research
The officials and resolutions of the Party and the State of Vietnam stress to con-tinue to renew Vietnam's culture within a contemporary context. However, points just try to focus on the relationship between culture and sustainable develop-ment, that is, it seeks to clarify the role of culture in economic development and environmental protection with general comments. Culture is guided as a founda-tion of politics and society, even further than economy and environment, in which the center of the center is human. Nonetheless, how has cultural policy evolved during the past two or three decades, at present and in the coming …

Three Pillars Of A Sustainable Creative City In Asean:Examples From Thailand, Singapore & Indonesia, Grisana Punpeng
Three Pillars Of A Sustainable Creative City In Asean:Examples From Thailand, Singapore & Indonesia, Grisana Punpeng
Journal of Urban Culture Research
This study attempts to critically examine practices towards building sustainable creative cities in ASEAN, particularly Singapore, Thailand, and Indonesia. The main aim is to identify key factors for sustainable creative cities by means of qualitative data analysis. The results show that to create a sustainable creative city in ASEAN government leaders must not focus on the designation of UNESCO Creative City as a goal for the economy, but as a firm commitment towards sustainable develop-ment. Creativity should be reinforced through art education from an early age. The distinction as well as the relationship between the terms "culture" and "creativ-ity" must …
Schumann's Last Piano Work: Geistervariationen, Eri Nakagawa
Schumann's Last Piano Work: Geistervariationen, Eri Nakagawa
Journal of Urban Culture Research
Robert Schumann was one of the greatest composers of the nineteenth century. Schumann suffered from a long-term mental disorder dating back to 1833 and his health deteriorated in February 1854. His Theme and Variations, WoO 24, a set of five variations known as Geistervariationen (Ghost Variations), was his last piano work, written between February 10 and 28, 1854, in the midst of his final mental break-down, which resulted in a suicide attempt. The complete Theme and Variations were not published until 1939 as his wife Clara Schumann (who was also one of the most recognized musicians of the day) jealously …

'So Hydous Was The Noyse': Forgetting The 1381 Rebellion In Geoffrey Chaucer's The Nun's Priest's Tale, Rawitawan Sophonpanich
'So Hydous Was The Noyse': Forgetting The 1381 Rebellion In Geoffrey Chaucer's The Nun's Priest's Tale, Rawitawan Sophonpanich
Journal of Letters
Since the medieval period, memory has been considered a site of identity formation and an important cultural force. Forgetting, on the other hand, has been dismissed because it seems impossible to study or recover what has already been forgotten. This study argues to the contrary. I focus on forgetting as a significant cultural practice, allowing the ruling classes and social institutions to perpetuate ideologies and manipulate how history is represented. In so arguing, I choose one of the most renowned events in medieval England as the subject of my study, which is the Peasants' Revolt of 1381. This Rebellion has …
Secularity, Emotion And Law In Ian Mcewan's The Children Act, Bancha Rattanamathuwong
Secularity, Emotion And Law In Ian Mcewan's The Children Act, Bancha Rattanamathuwong
Manusya, Journal of Humanities
This paper examines Ian McEwan's The Children Act as a work of fiction that explores the contemporary issue of secularism. My argument is that the novel's exploration of the interplay between law and feelings demonstrates McEwan's attempt to defy the dichotomous quality commonly attributed to law. By juxtaposing the implementation of law and religious practices, the novel's dramatization of the collision between these two forces shows that emotion and feeling are never absent from the allegedly unsym-pathetic secular civic institution. The realm of law can offer both sympathy and com-passion to people who are subject to it.(ความเป็นฆราวาส อารมณ์ และกฎหมายในนวนิยายเรื่อง The …

Tales In The Paasaali Dirge: Structure And Moral Lessons From The Past, Confidence Gbolo, Samuel Adu-Gyamfi, Charles Ofosu Marfo
Manusya, Journal of Humanities
Among the Paasaala people in the Upper West Region of Ghana who speak paasaali, dirge performance and the execution of the tale go hand in hand; the two genres com-plement each other. This paper investigates the close relationship between tales and dirges and establishes some of the reasons that bind them together in the Paasaala funeral context. By using the theory of ethno-poetics and methodologies such as close observation of live performances of dirges, interviews with poet cantors and cultural custodians of some selected Pasaala communities, recordings of live dirge perfor-mances as well as references to some documented sources on …

Traditional Intricate Paper Cutting Techniques Of Southern Thailand: Background, Beliefs, And Cultural Animation Of Thai Buddhist Culture, Pannee Virunanont
Manusya, Journal of Humanities
Intricate paper cutting of Southern Thailand is a traditional folk art, which is passed down from one generation to another. However, there are no detailed studies or re-cords of the historical backgrounds, beliefs, and cultural animation of Thai-Buddhist culture in Southern Thailand concerning this folk art. This study, therefore, aims to examine this art form in Songkhla and Nakhon Sri Thammarat provinces, which have their own cultural identities. The goal is to register this art form as a part of cultural heritage. The compilation of vital data includes (1) paper characteristics, (2) paper en-graving methods, (3) colours, (4) instruments, (5) …

Transgender People's Deterritorialization In Arundhati Roy's The Ministry Of Utmost Happiness And Trace Peterson's "After Before And After", Tanrada Lertlaksanaporn
Manusya, Journal of Humanities
Arundhati Roy's The Ministry of Utmost Happiness and Trace Peterson's "After Before and After" have been studied in several aspects related to transgender issues. The pre-sentation of transgender people, especially the transgender protagonist in The Ministry of Utmost Happiness, has been criticized as a formulaic depiction with little portrayal of their struggles and triumphs. At the same time, the transgender protagonist is viewed positively as an integral force in the novel. The poem "After Before and After" has been praised for its creative portrayal of transgender people. A study of transgen-der issues in relation to desire and connection helps to …
A Dominant Global Translation Strategy In Thai Translated Novels: The Translations Of Religious Markers In Dan Brown's Thriller Novels, Wiriya Inphen
A Dominant Global Translation Strategy In Thai Translated Novels: The Translations Of Religious Markers In Dan Brown's Thriller Novels, Wiriya Inphen
Manusya, Journal of Humanities
When translation is considered as an integral part of larger social systems (Even-Zohar 1990), the ways in which translations are produced to serve readers' specificity could be affected. This paper examines whether there is a preference for a specific global trans-lation strategy due to a readership that is specialized in terms of education level. Adopting Venuti's (1995/2008) division of global translation strategies into exoticizing and domesticating translation, it examines the frequency of local translation strate-gies, which are part of a global translation strategy, used in translating English-Thai religious markers in Dan Brown's Angels and Demons, The Da Vinci Code, The …

The Influence Of Grammatical Gender On Russian And Thai Speakers' Cognition, Kusuma Thongniam, Amara Prasithrathsint
Manusya, Journal of Humanities
The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of grammatical gender on Russian speakers' cognition, compared with Thai speakers' cognition by means of object categorization. The key materials in the experiment are black-and-white pictures represented by nouns that are selected based on gender and appearance similarity. The hypothesis is that Russian speakers group two pictures that belong to the same grammatical gender class together, while Thai speakers generally rely on the size or shape of objects in the pictures. The result of the experiment statistically showed that Russian speakers categorized things on the basis of grammatical gender, while …

The Image Of "Opening And Changing" Vietnam In Thai Contemporary Fiction Books, Tran Cam Tu
Manusya, Journal of Humanities
As Thailand and Vietnam have long had mutual relations, there are a number of Thai books written about Vietnam, including academic and historical documents, travel-ogues, novels, and short stories.

Invented Identity Of Thai Monks In Indonesia, Jesada Buaban
Invented Identity Of Thai Monks In Indonesia, Jesada Buaban
Manusya, Journal of Humanities
Thai missionary monks are viewed as passive in the new land on the grounds that though they work abroad, they still serve Thai communities rather than adapt Bud-dhism to attract the locals. Missionary work in Indonesia is, however, exceptional. This article questions how Thai monks attracted Chinese followers, who have a different background of beliefs. Ethnographic methodology was conducted in Central Java and Sumatra for three months. It found that in order to negotiate with educated lay reli-gious leaders, Thai monks choose to invent an identity of traditional forest monks who are experts in meditation as found in Northeast Thailand. …

The Impact Of Communication Technology And Social Media On Intergenerational Relationships Between Older Individuals And Their Adult Children In Bangkok, Marie-Helene Thomas
Manusya, Journal of Humanities
Modernisation theory (Cowgill and Holmes 1972) argues that older people in modern societies are less respected and valued as a result of technological innovations. To un-derstand the impact of communication technology and social media on Thai society, this research studies the transformations in communication, interaction and overall connectedness between older people and their adult children. In addition, it examines what elements have shifted due to the introduction and use of the smart phone and its accompanying instant messaging and social media applications such as Line and Face-book. The data demonstrates various positive and negative impacts on the intergen-erational relationship between …
Central Thai Food Culture And Acculturation During World War Ii And The Vietnam War, Ratiwan Watanasin
Central Thai Food Culture And Acculturation During World War Ii And The Vietnam War, Ratiwan Watanasin
Manusya, Journal of Humanities
As food has a substantial cultural and economic value, globalization and the Internet have posed challenges to traditional culture. As previous research on Thai food has focused on recipes and the consumption behavior of the royal family and upper-class Thai citizens, this study therefore aims to investigate the Thai food culture of ordinary Thais before the proliferation of a foreign food culture. Senior citizens from diverse socio-economic backgrounds in central Thailand who witnessed two major cultural encounters, specifically World War ii and the Vietnam War, were interviewed until full data was obtained. Content analysis within the guidelines of consumer behavior …

Analysis Of The Khmer Walled Defensive System Of Vimayapura (Phimai City, Thailand): Symbolism Or Military Effectiveness?, Víctor Lluís Pérez Garcia
Manusya, Journal of Humanities
This article analyses the walled defensive system of the Khmer city centre of Vimaya-pura (modern Phimai, Thailand) to evaluate the theoretical level of military effectivity of both the walls and the moats against potential attackers, considering their technical characteristics and the enemy's weapons. We also study the layout of the urban en-ceinte, the constructive material, the gateways as well as weakness and strengths of the stronghold and the symbolic, monumental and ornamental functions in the overall role of the walls. Based on comparisons with similar cases, as well as in situ observa-tions of the archaeological remains and a bibliographical research, …
Friedrich Halm's Earliest Extant, Melodramatic Novelle, St. Sylvesterabend: An Austrian Dramatist's Hidden Beginnings As A Narrative Fiction Writer, Tony Page
Manusya, Journal of Humanities
To date there has been no scholarly exploration of the genesis and nature of Friedrich Halm's earliest extant Novelle, St. Sylvesterabend (New Year's Eve). The present research article attempts to fill that gap by determining the contested date of the story's origin, establishing it as 1823. Furthermore, the article examines the tale's simplicity of style, which is distinct from Halm's later Kleist-influenced narratives. Furthermore, it ana-lyzes the novel's structural principle of parallels and contrasts, and its themes of monomania, secularised religiosity, and Christian caritas. The article also indicates how vicious criticism of the tale by Halm's literary mentor, Michael Enk …

Varieties Of English Accents: A Study Of The Degree Of Preference And Intelligibility Among Second-Year English Major Students At Maejo University, Daranee Choomthong, Supaporn Manowong
Manusya, Journal of Humanities
Thailand is regarded as a country of the expanding circle (EC). The fact that English has become a working language in the asean community makes it vital that Thai stu-dents are aware of the varieties of English. The study examined the perception of Eng-lish majors towards varieties of English pronunciation. Listening tasks spoken by speakers in the expanding circle (EC), the inner circle (IC) and outer circle (OC), were presented to students enrolled in a course on Sound and English Sound System. The students rated accent preference and intelligibility. A semi-structure interview was in-cluded for more in-depth information. The results …

Journal of Urban Culture Research
The COVID-19 pandemic has given rise a myriad of artistic expressions on the in-ternet and social media platforms. What explains this turn to music and the per-forming arts during the crisis? At least four reasons matter. Popular music, in par-ticular, has proved useful in communicating key messages about COVID-19 and how to combat it to a broad audience. Music and other forms of artistic expression can help to create a sense of community and belonging at a time of uncertainty. They are powerful ways in which to express appreciation and gratitude. And they provide levity at a time of anxiety

Journal of Urban Culture Research
This paper is to analyze different cases from the Malay world, Sri Lanka, and Myanmar with historical methods as well as from the perspective of current musi-cal practice.
