This thesis propounds that the roles and statuses of the white male characters (Jim, John Flory, Thomas Fowler and Alden Pyle) are established through their interactions with other characters, most of whom are women. The roles and statuses of these Western protagonists and their interactions with the people residing in the region of Southeast Asia can be seen to reflect three phases of Western colonialism. In Lord Jim (1899-1900), …

Doctoral Music Performance: Technique And Evolution Of Modern Guitar Performance, Apichai Chantanakajornfung
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
It was around the mid-nineteenth century that the guitar almost sank into oblivion due to the rising popularity of the piano. Fortunately, the art of guitar performance was still cultivated by certain figures residing mostly in Spain. One of them was the so-called 'father of modern guitar' - Francisco Tárrega (1852-1909), a guitarist who devoted all his life to bring back the legend and prestige of the instrument. Another figure who gave a great contribution to the history of the instrument was Andrés Segovia (1893-1987). Because of these ardent efforts of the past, the current guitar scene is very profound …

Singaporean Malays' Perspectives Of Income Inequality And Its Impact On Their Opportunities In SingaporeS Education System, Ngak Leng Tan
Singaporean Malays' Perspectives Of Income Inequality And Its Impact On Their Opportunities In SingaporeS Education System, Ngak Leng Tan
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Studies on the profile of income inequality revealed that Singaporean Malays continuously occupied the lowest income strata and fared relatively poorer in their academic performance compared to other races. In a highly competitive meritocratic education system that rewards relative merit, yet neglects how unequal backgrounds provided unfair starting points for some, such low-income Malay households may appear to be systemically disadvantaged by income inequality and their access to better education. Under these circumstances, income inequality is further perpetuated. Through the use of focus group discussions and in-depth interviews, my proposed research will seek to understand how Singaporean Malays perceive such …
