Full text

Abstract:

This thesis is based on fieldwork carried out m Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China. The main focus of the work is the Dai people, one of China's fifty-five so called 'Minority Nationalities'. I aim to paint a picture of the complex processes through which Dai ways of being and images of them are created and recreated. This is not to suggest that the Dai constitute a bounded group. Although Chinese official discourse presents a static, rigid picture of the so-called 'Minority Nationalities', I hope to have demonstrated that the everyday experiences of those in Banna are governed by a fluid and dynamic relationality. Images of 'Minority Nationalities' abound in China, these images are multiple and often contradictory. The Dai are known throughout China for their beauty, a beauty often portrayed as highly erotic. In this thesis I explore the implications of this image and the role of the Dai in its formation and continuity. With this in mind I examine the ways that the striking Dai aesthetic is used in the intricate power plays of Xishuangbanna. This work examines aspects of the Dai lived aesthetic and as such it has chapters on tattoo, architecture and feminine beauty. Dai aesthetic knowledge is interlaced with strands of moral, philosophical and cosmological insight, thus this work also includes a chapter on morality, autonomy and cooperation. The penultimate chapter uses vivid ethnography of the Water Splashing festival as a example of play of identities in Xishuangbanna. The Conclusion reiterates that the processes by which images, identities and aesthetic understandings are generated, and by which limits are explored and transgressed in Xishuangbanna are dialogic in character.

Rajah, Ananda. "Remaining Karen : a study of cultural reproduction and the maintenance of identity." Phd thesis, 1986. http://hdl.handle.net/1885/110687.

Full text

Abstract:

There are an estimated 242,000 Karen in Thailand making them the largest ethnic minority in the country second only to the Chinese. In Burma, they number approximately 2.2 million. The Karen, of whom the Sgaw and Pwo represent the two largest groups based on dialectal differences, speak a number of related languages which are now recognised as belonging to the Sino-Tibetan group of languages. Since the early part of the last century, the Karen have been the subject of a number of studies by missionaries and British colonial administrators in Burma and, more recently, by anthropologists in Thailand. Two major areas of interest in the long history of Karen studies have been the nature of Karen religious systems which appear to draw on various traditions, and the nature of Karen identity which appears remarkably resistant to change. While Karen religious traditions and customs were a dominant concern in earlier studies, the question of Karen ethnic identity (or identities) has been the focus of interest in contemporary studies, matched perhaps only by an interest in Karen subsistence or economic systems. Though the more recent anthropological studies of the Karen have retained an interest in Karen religious systems, related in most part to the study of Karen ethnicity, it is remarkable that there has not been a detailed contemporary account of the indigenous, non-Buddhist, non-Christian religion of the Karen. This study is concerned with both issues -- the nature of indigenous Karen religion and the maintenance of identity in a small Karen community which is firmly located, as much by necessity as by choice, in a predominantly Northern Thai socio-economic milieu in the highlands of Northern Thailand. It is also concerned with sociological explanation as well as anthropological description, in the case of the Karen, namely the part played by an indigenous religion (which draws little from Buddhism or Christianity, both of which have had considerable influence on Karen elsewhere) in the maintenance of identity. At one level, therefore, this study may be regarded as an attempt to fill a gap in the contemporary ethnography of the Karen, that is, to provide an account of an indigenous Karen religious system as a system in its own right but taken broadly to show how it encompasses different facets of life in one Karen community. At another level, this study addresses a larger sociological issue in the study of the Karen: how a cultural identity may be constituted (and reconstituted as an on-going process) and the implications that this may have for an understanding of Karen ethnicity the principles of which, though perhaps sufficiently established as a matter of conventional sociological wisdom, have not been adequately demonstrated in relation to hard ethnographic fact. The major argument in this thesis, stated in its most general terms, is that religion and ritual sustain and reproduce what is best regarded as a cultural ideology which provides a cultural identity, and from which an ethnic identity may be constructed according to the particular circumstances and details of the contexts of intergroup relations. In the case of the Sgaw Karen of Palokhi, in Chiang Mai in Northern Thailand, who are the subject of this study, it is argued that this cultural ideology consists of the structured relations between what is best described as a "procreative model" of society and social processes, an integral part of which is a system of social classification based on the difference between male and female, cultural definitions of the relations between the two and the relationship between men and land, and a "model" of agricultural processes. The cultural ideology of the Palokhi Karen is "reproduced" in and through their religious system and ritual life, which is dominated by men who play a crucial role, and it is this which provides them with their distinctive cultural identity.

Gomes, Alberto G. "Looking-for-money : simple commodity production in the economy of the Tapah Semai of Malaysia." Phd thesis, 1986. http://hdl.handle.net/1885/116749.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis examines the nature of the articulation of the economy of the Tapah Semai, a Malaysian aboriginal (Orang Asli) group, with the wider Malaysian economy. Its primary aim is to document the extent of the market linkages to demonstrate that the prevailing image of the people as subsistence farmers with limited involvement in the market economy is misleading. This view is portrayed in the literature and is held by the Malaysian government which bases its policies in respect to Semai (and other Orang Asli) upon it. On the basis of an indepth village study and a regional socio-economic survey covering all the Semai villages in the Tapah region, it is demonstrated that the Tapah Semai are now deeply enmeshed in simple commodity production as well as commodity consumption. In a detailed examination of how a sample of six households in the study village, Sempak, allocated their time to production, it is demonstrated that the people spent treble the time on commodity production, such as fruit collecting, forest product gathering and rubber tapping, tha* they spent on subsistence production such as swiddening, fishing and hunting. It appears that the villagers allocated more time to commodity production because it was more efficient and productive than subsistence production. For the sample households in Sempak, it was found that in terms of imputed market value, subsistence production produced only one eighth the value of a equal amount of time spent in commodity production. As a result of its low productivity relative to commodity production, subsistence production is in decline. It appears that the villagers’ current focus on commodity production is also linked to their ever increasing desire and dependence on market goods. These market relations are underwritten by a pervasive system of credit and indebtedness which is necessary for the maintemcnce of regular trading relations with several middlemen. A detailed examination of the expenditure of the sample households indicates that about half of their total expenditure was on foodstuff which formed almost all of their food consumption. The commoditisation of the Semai economy is seen to have engendered several changes in intravillage social relations such as the development of private property, the ascendancy of appropriative practices, the appearance of intravillage entrepreneurial enterprises, the commodification and decline in sharing and labour cooperation, all of which are creating incipient social differentiation. This thesis ends with a discussion of the future of the Tapah Semai as simple commodity producers. Although the Semai economy is quite resilient, given its broad nature and flexibility, its continued viability is dependent upon several factors beyond the people’s control. The most crucial factor is legal tenure to an adequate land area. However unless the Malaysian government recognises the current nature of the Tapah Semai economy, the future of simple commodity production among the Tapah Semai is precarious.

Soottipong, Rossarin. "Fertility differentials among the Karen, a hill tribe minority in Northern Thailand." Phd thesis, 1995. http://hdl.handle.net/1885/117142.

Full text

Abstract:

This study identifies factors affecting fertility among the Karen, the largest hill tribe minority group in Thailand, in Chiang Mai and Mae Hong Son provinces in Northern Thailand. The study uses quantitative data from the 1986-1987 Census of Hill Tribe Populations, and qualitative information from fieldwork carried out in these two provinces during November 1992 and May 1993. The framework of this study is primarily concerned with consequences of the interventions of Thai government in the hill tribe areas, especially a nation building (integration) policy, a restriction of land use, and family planning. A similar framework is also applied to the study of their contraceptive use. The Karen who have higher socioeconomic status, as manifested by education and the availability of electricity in the households are more likely to have lower fertility. The Karen who have a higher level of wealth as measured by ownership of livestock and modem consumer goods have higher fertility. Economic hardship is one of the important reasons for not wanting many children. Fertility decline among the Karen occurs in the context of mortality decline, but the findings do not support the insurance effect or replacement effect of mortality. The Karen who cultivate a larger amount of land, or own a larger amount of land have higher fertility. The higher fertility of the Karen who use more land is both for family labour requirement, and for old age security. For the Karen, a large amount of land is likely to be land for dry rice and its productivity tends to decrease every year because fallow periods are no longer possible; an increase in labour input in dry-rice land does not increase productivity. The shortage of land is the most important reason for not wanting many children. The Karen who own land also work on their land themselves in most cases; thus family labour is required. The Karen who are highly integrated into Thai society, as manifested by speaking Thai, professing Buddhism and ownership of radio are more likely to have lower fertility. The idea of a two-child family is prevalent in Thai society and promoted by the National Family Planning Program. This small family idea and family planning technology is an innovation among the Karen. At the individual level the diffusion process is more effective among the Karen who speak Thai and own radios which receive broadcast both Thai and Karen languages. At the aggregate level, not only speaking Thai but also the degree of rural isolation is found to be crucial in the diffusion process. The impact of some proximate determinants, for instance the practice of breastfeeding, to create fertility differentials is not perceived among the Karen. This is due to uniform breastfeeding practice among the Karen. The analysis of differentials in contraceptive use, in general, is consistent with that of fertility. The Karen who have characteristics associated with lower fertility are more likely to use contraception. The availability of health centres in the hill tribe communities is found to increase the likelihood of contraceptive use. Community leaders, for instance health personnel and Catholic priests, are found in some cases to encourage and in others to discourage contraceptive use. These two factors in combination with providing information through radio broadcasting clearly have policy implications for increasing contraceptive use among the Karen, and to prevent AIDS transmission which is found to be a key issue in the hill tribe areas.

Abstract:

This study examines the viability of transmission and maintenance of Karen indigenous music and dance in an Australian non-formal context. Qualitative in design, the research comprised an ethnographic case study of an indigenous music and dance transmission situation (a series of five music and dance workshops) implemented in a non-formal community context in Western Sydney. Participants were a Karen cultural expert in music and dance, four Karen teacher participants and 14 Karen youth student participants. The researcher, as performance participant and participant observer, collected the data through field observation and video recording of the workshops, as well as semi-structured interviews that were conducted with the cultural expert, teacher participants, and the student participants. The first of its kind among the Karen community in Australia, the study explored the viability and means of transmission and maintenance of Karen indigenous music and dance through the involvement of Karen culture bearers and Karen youth. The study explored the views of the cultural expert and the various other culture bearers on Karen music and dance teaching and learning processes, as well as the motivation and learning styles of its student participants. Based on understandings of transmission processes operating in Burma and in the Thai-Burma border refugee camps that emerged during the study, the research revealed the need for evolving modified transmission processes for the diasporic context. The study raised many questions and highlighted culturally sensitive issues, ultimately indicating that the symbolic significance of the project as an initiative outweighed the pedagogical outcomes of the actual workshops.

Full text

Abstract:

This study concentrates on the changes and perceptions of the Malay communities in Malaya and Sumatra concerning bangsa, kerajaan, democracy, negara and negeri. Like most societies under western colonial domination, Malay society had to redefine itself and its relationship to other communities residing in areas considered to be Malay lands. The Malays in Malaya chose a path of non-violence in their struggle to redefine themselves. The radical Partai Kebangsaan Melayu Malaya opted for union with Indonesia in a MeJayu Raya which would encompass the various ethnic groups in a wider bangsa Melayu. The conservative UMNO redefined the role of the monarchy and upheld an ethnic definition of bangsa Melayu that would exclude the Chinese (and Indians) :ind preserve Malay political dominance under British protection. When Melayu Raya was no longer possible, the P.K.M.M. in cooperation with the non-Malays put forward the idea of Melayu as a nationality for all who chose Malaya as their homeland. This idea was not accepted by the Malay majority which wanted bangsa Melayu to remain exclusive. The Federation of Malaya Agreement in 1948 maintained bangsa Melayu as an exclusive ethnic identity. The non-Malays received citizenship rights but no nationality. In East Sumatra, the various kerajaans wanted to maintain the privileged status of the bangsa Sumatera Timur even though the territory had become a part of independent Indonesia. The Indonesian Republican upheld bangsa Indonesia as a nationality which gave all Indonesians equality before the law. Peoples’ sovereignty was an important feature of their beliefs. The 'social revolution’ of March 1946 saw the destruction of the Malay kerajaans as they were unable to change and conform to the wishes of the majority who accepted bangsa Indonesia and democracy with all its political and social implications. When the Dutch used force to reassert their presence in East Sumatra in July 1947, they helped to set up the Negara Sumatera Timur. The N.S.T. was supposed to safeguard the interests of the bangsa Sumatera Timur. It was not successful because the N.S.T. depended on Dutch support. It failed also because bangsa Indonesia was widely accepted and the calls for kedaulatan rakyat, freedom and equality were too powerful to be ignored. When the N.S.T. was dissolved in 1950, the only bangsa that triumphed was the bangsa Indonesia.

The thesis investigates the effect of social interaction across countries through two channels - migration and tourism - on decisions in foreign direct investment (FDI). We argue that FDI inflows increase with greater movements of people across countries, because 1) investors may acquire more valuable information regarding destination countries through such social networks and 2) investors prefer to make investments in countries with greater familiarity. Employing migration and tourism dataset from World Bank, our empirical results provide evidence that migration and tourism networks are significantly related to inward FDI flows, either equity or debt, to countries in East and Southeast Asia.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis addresses the situation of Karen refugees in Mae Sot, a town on Thailand's border with Myanmar. It focuses on the specific case of Buddhist Karen who originate from the Hpa-an plain of Karen State, Myanmar, and who have settled outside the refugee camp system. This study investigates how relations of refuge are socially constructed in an intercultural non-institutional context. Drawing upon life history interviews and ethnographic fieldwork in a number of Mae Sot neighbourhoods, it delineates a mode of refugeedom which is locally created in the conjuncture between local perspectives on refuge and the universal notion of refugees, and through recourse to traditional and modern resources and idioms. Rather than seeing refugees as victims, or as autonomous agents who become an objectified target of relief, this thesis emphasises that refuge is culturally constituted in social relations of the borderland. In adopting self-settlement, Hpaan Karen people’s access to security is intimately intertwined in the host-refugee relationship. Vernacular refuge is identified as the provision and receipt of informal and officially unrecognised forms of protection that are nonetheless intelligible cross-culturally as relations of refuge. These relations entail reciprocity, negotiation and hierarchy, nonetheless they confer a degree of safety, stability and dignity. The notion of vernacular refugees provides an alternative to the obsessive search for durable solutions for displaced persons by illuminating the practical arrangements for security and protection which have emerged out of this refugee group's struggle with powerful social forces. In this study, I explore how conditions of displacement and refuge-seeking intersect with three subthemes: mobility, protection and place. The study traces Karen people's cultural conceptions of suffering in Myanmar and its relevance in precipitating mobility toward Thailand. I go on to examine dynamics of Karen's access to protection on arriving at the Thai border and the genesis of the selfsettlement option. My research reveals that this non-institutional form of protection is provided in relatively mundane and daily aspects of social life. Investigating domains of economic transaction and local administration, I argue that the potential for informal protection is embedded in the host-refugee relationship, both in sentiment-infused hierarchical employer-worker exchanges and in dyadic negotiations between local authorities and Karen residents. Seeking to understand the Karen refugees' sense of place, I explore Karen people's active deployment of their cultural and religious repertoires to make a home in their new locality. Based on observations of the Karen wrist-tying ceremony, this study argues that a sense of individual well-being is reinforced by aesthetic and sensory experiences of ceremonial materials imbued with auspicious metaphors. 1 further pay attention to their Buddhist projects and practices and find that Karen locality is reconstituted by Buddhist cosmological symbols, protection from powerful beings and festive sociality. By exploring Karen reactions to options for durable resettlement and local integration, the study turns again to the issue of mobility and describes practical moves underway towards a post-refugee status through Karen people’s engagement in mobile and multi-sited livelihood strategies.

Abstract:

Firstly, while the Yao people inhabit in wide geographic regions stretching across Southern China and South East Asia, even overseas, the Paiyao, a branch of the Yao who inhabits only in the Liannan district of the Guangdong province, is unique not only in their geographical inhabitancy but also cultural characteristics.
Secondly, while Yao people's Getang ritual is a wide spread ritual practice with local variations, there has not been any in-depth study on the Getang ritual of the Paiyao people.
The significance of this study are Three-fold.
The thesis aims to study the soundscape of Paiyao ethnic nationality's "Getang Ritual" in Guangdong Province.
Thirdly, with a musicological concern, this thesis approaches its subject from the perspective of "soundscape of the ritual enactment", (Tsao Penyeh 2006: 81) and aspires to reach an understanding of the wider meaning of the Getang ritual among the Paiyao people and their society.
This study consists of the following three processes: (1) Fieldwork to investigate and compile ethnographic texts from both the researcher's observation and insiders' oral narrations and relating to actions in the makings of the ritual soundscape. (2) Analysis of the ritual "sounds", in terms of themselves and their extra-musical factors. (3) Interpretation of the meaning of ritual sounds and their soundscape of Paiyao's Getang ritual within the framework of the belief system that consists of a trinity of sounds and soundscape, ritual enactment and belief.
This thesis has seven chapters, with its theoretical and methodological reverences indebted to ritual studies by Tsao Penyeh (his research of ritual and ritual soundscape of China's belief systems) and Clifford Geertz (his many writings on anthropological theory and methodology, as well as his study of "reinterpretation to other's interpretation").

Abstract:

ABSTRACT SELECTIVE MISSIOLOGICAL IMPLICATIONS OF BUNKHUN FOR MINISTRY AMONG THE KHON MUANG Thomas Lowell Bohnert, Ph.D. The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, 2018 Chair: Dr. George H. Martin The purpose of this dissertation is to examine a socio-cultural barrier to the gospel among the Khon Muang of Northern Thailand. The thesis of this dissertation is that bunkhun is an essential cultural factor that missionaries must understand to build and maintain healthy relationships among the Khon Muang. Chapter 1 introduces the problem and the methodology for analyzing the problem was described. Chapter 2 contains an ethnographic description of the Khon Muang people along with an examined of the salient literature about bunkhun. The examination of the salient literature revealed that bunkhun relationships are established by two means: they are established either because a client recognizes the ascribed status of a patron, or because individual acts of graciousness overwhelm the client with gratitude. Chapter 3 examines the function of bunkhun among the Khon Muang. A matrix for characterizing bunkhun relationships was developed and presented. A theory for understanding bunkhun was described. Bunkhun is a cultural system that maintains social smoothing values and skills, reinforces traditional ideas about the ideal character qualities of both a patron and a client, and regulates the relationships between a patron and a client among the Khon Muang. Chapter 4 surveys the Bible to define and describe the patron titles of God. The obligations of the client were also presented. Finally, a short survey outlining the biblical concept of grace was detailed. Bunkhun has similarities to grace, but the two are different. Chapter 5 deals with several missiological implications of bunkhun. First, bunkhun is a form of patron-client system thus, it is incumbent upon missionaries to understand the cultural context so that clear communication occurs. Second, honor and shame themes are embedded in the bunkhun system. Learning to utilize skills good intercultural communications skills is necessary for missionaries serving in Northern Thailand. Finally, several suggestions were offered to address implications related to evangelism, discipleship, fellowship and leadership development. These thoughts are all offered tentatively as more research is needed to verify their veracity. Chapter 6 provides an overall summary for the project.

Abstract:

This study analyses the culture, knowledge and resource use patterns of the Karang tribe in Phong-Luk village, which is located at the Kaengkrachan National Park. The goal of this project is to reveal the culture-based local wisdom of the Karang tribe that is consistent with sustainable environmental resource management and to recommend guidelines for governments to revise existing policies related to the tribe that are relevant with their cultural ways of life. This project is expected to enhance awareness of local wisdom and offer a strategy to relieve the pressure of resource use between the tribe and the national park. The specific objectives of this research were to 1) analyze the local production practices, land utilization practices and belief, and 2) identify and analyze the key issues of local wisdom that are consistent with the conservation and sustainable management of the local natural resources and the environment. Finally, the analysis explored the affects of the existing policies (e.g., national park and development promotion policies) on the tribe's livelihood and the expected impact on the natural environments due to the shift in practices of the tribe. analysis explored the affects of the existing policies (e.g., national park and development promotion policies) on the tribe's livelihood and the expected impact on the natural environments due to the shift in practices of the tribe. This research utilized a qualitative research methodology to study and understand the overall picture of the community. Interview and observation techniques were used to identify the important issues, which included the history and settlement of the community, production patterns, land utilization patterns, belief systems, relationships within the community and government policies. The research indicates that traditional production practices, traditional land tenure arrangements and cultural beliefs provide the tribe a means of self-reliance and environmental sustainability. However, these customary practices and beliefs are being threatened by government policies. Therefore, the recommendations are provided to guide policymakers in ways to incorporate the wisdom of the tribe in future decisions.
