Thai Students' Usage Of Mandarin Second-Person Pronoun "Ni" And "Nin", Seubpong Changboonchu
Thai Students' Usage Of Mandarin Second-Person Pronoun "Ni" And "Nin", Seubpong Changboonchu
Asian Review
There are two forms of single second-person pronouns in Modern Chinese language, namely ni and nin Various factors should be considered between two communicating parties about which term is better to be used. The Thai language's secondperson pronoun system is quite similar to that of Modern Chinese language, but the forms in Thai are more diverse. In this paper, questionnaires and interviews are used to investigate Thai students' use of ni and nin. The findings show that Thai students use second-person pronouns differently from Chinese people whose usage is closely related to their mother tongue and culture.
Sexuality, Love, And Marriage Of Chinese Women As Reflected In Post-Mao Era Novels By Women Writers, Usama Mahapasuthanon
Sexuality, Love, And Marriage Of Chinese Women As Reflected In Post-Mao Era Novels By Women Writers, Usama Mahapasuthanon
Asian Review
This paper examines the changing patterns of and attitudes on sexuality, love, and marriage of Chinese women in the Post-Mao era, especially after 1985, as reflected in novels written by renowned Chinese women writers. The study shows that Chinese women in the novels have challenged the Confucian code of conduct for women on the preservation of chastity, open sexuality, and even the intimacy with the same sex, which were also taboos under the Mao regime. Chinese women in this era are aggressive in terms of love. Love is a part of the search for their own identities, for the completion …
Women, Sexuality And Political Achievement In Thai Society And Thai Literature, Orathai Piayura
Women, Sexuality And Political Achievement In Thai Society And Thai Literature, Orathai Piayura
Asian Review
Thai culture discourages involvement in politics, especially by women. In addition, a fear of being scandalized by political competitors leads many Thai women with high competence not to get involved with politics. Instead of illustrating the real situation of female politicians, Thai women writers choose to show a different picture. Politics and politicians in works composed by Duangjai and M.L. Bunluea Theppayasuwan belong in an ideal or fantasy world. This fantasy is comparable with female fantasy about sex. Just as female sexual fantasy arises from an unconscious desire about female sexuality that cannot really happen in reality, political fantasy is …

Tang Poetry And The Reproduction Of Nation-Building Ideology In Chinese Society, Patchanee Tangyuenyong
Asian Review
This article analyzes poetry during the Tang dynasty by using the cultural dimension as an analytical lens. I have selected eightyseven Tang poems dealing with war that were compiled in the Complete Tang Poetry (全唐诗 Quán Táng Shī), commissioned by the Kangxi 康熙 emperor of the Qing 清 dynasty (1644-1911 AD). The research paper takes the approach of discourse studies, which postulates that language, literature, culture, and society are inseparably related. These poems were compiled by the Qing court to shape tradition and form a dominant ideology in the society. They contain hidden agendas on subjects such as race, class, …

Gender And Social Status In Zeami's Noh Plays, Winai Jamornsuriya
Asian Review

This article examines Zeami's eight Noh plays, analyzing the causes of separation and the heroine's sadness in these stories, to illustrate the gender power and social status of Japanese women at the time.
Rattlings From The Gender Prison: A Look At Contemporary Indian Children's Literature, Siriporn Sriwarakan
Rattlings From The Gender Prison: A Look At Contemporary Indian Children's Literature, Siriporn Sriwarakan
Asian Review
This paper analyzes selected works of Indian children's literature, both short stories and novels, to tackle the problem of sexism. Sexism constitutes discrimination between the sexes, preventing girls and women from their full emotional and intellectual development in their struggle for a full humanity in their own right. This struggle finds representation even in contemporary children's literature. The main characters in the works selected for this presentation are nearly all female, though one interesting case involves the evolution of a male protagonist in gender awareness. The female protagonists are strong and determined while the male protagonist learns to recognize the …
Khai Hung's Novels And The Vietnamese Mandarinate Between 1920 And 1945, Kimloan Vu-Hill
Khai Hung's Novels And The Vietnamese Mandarinate Between 1920 And 1945, Kimloan Vu-Hill
Asian Review
This article examines some major novels by Khai Hung, a well known writer in Vietnam in the period 1930-1945, to glean social developments in Vietnam during this period. While there was a significant social transformation in the public domain, as shown by scholarly works by David Marr and Nguyen Van Ky, Khai Hung's novels show that in the families of the mandarinate (the Confucian educated literati, or members of the traditional ruling elite and their families), traditional values managed to survive and even to remain dominant in some cases. Also according to Khai Hung, it was probably this resistance to …
The Preservation Of Lik-Luong Poetic Literature Among The Shan Communities Of Northern Thailand, Jotika Khur-Yearn, Kate Crosby
The Preservation Of Lik-Luong Poetic Literature Among The Shan Communities Of Northern Thailand, Jotika Khur-Yearn, Kate Crosby
Asian Review
Shan Buddhists use a form of poetic performance to make Buddhist teachings interesting. These texts are read in the context of temple activity on holy days. They are read by specialists, called tsale, who have years of training in the specific ways of reciting this poetry, for the rhyming systems are very complex and the texts are usually written in the old style of writing that does not indicate tone. A normal Shan speaker cannot read these texts. Even listening to them is a skill acquired over time. The traditional homeland of the Shan straddles the modern boundaries of Burma, …

The Sao Hpa Administration Of Baan/Mong In Mong Tai Or The Shan States, Sao Noan Oo
Asian Review
This paper traces the history of administration in the Shan States from ancient times to 1962. The Tais are descendents of an ancient race that existed thousands of years ago in China. During the early turbulent periods in China the Tais migrated into several parts of Southeast Asia, settling along the river valleys to cultivate wet rice for their livelihood. They also brought with them their sociopolitical organization of baan/mong with the Sao Hpas as their leader. In 1886 the Shan States were annexed by Britain but were autonomous. In 1922, they became the Federated Shan States, with established law, …
Negotiating Cooperation: Shan Politics And Burma, 1946-1962, Samara Yatunghwe
Negotiating Cooperation: Shan Politics And Burma, 1946-1962, Samara Yatunghwe
Asian Review
This article examines what is required for ethnic unity in Burma/Myanmar by examining the early stages of independence in Burma through the lens of Shan political negotiation. This is to provide insight into what the Shan sought to achieve and why they insisted on constitutional reform in the early 1960s. Juxtaposing the attitudes of the ethnic leadership, prominent Burman politicians and military strongmen of that period can lead to concrete conclusions about how certain points of view encourage debate and cooperation, while other stifle it and result in fragmentation.

Identity In Crisis: The Impact Of Education On Ethnic Culture Among The Muser, Nguyen Quang Dung
Asian Review
This paper examines the impact of Thai education on ethnic culture through a case study of the Muser in Amphoe Mae Sot, Tak Province, Thailand. It also studies the process of culture preservation, integration and assimilation of Muser hill people through formal, non-formal and informal education. The study finds that besides knowledge conveyed in central Thai language, Thai identity is inculcated in students through Buddhist teaching, mainstream ethical and moral values, and nationalist ideology. Elements of Muser traditional culture such as cuisine, music, folklore, religion, language and costumes are maintained less by young Muser in comparison with their seniors.
