Abstract:
During the Vietnam War, South Vietnamese students were some of the most vocal activists asserting multiple visions for Vietnam’s future. Students’ attitudes spanned the political spectrum from staunchly anti-Communist to supportive of the National Liberation Front. Like young people throughout the world in the 1960s, students in South Vietnam embodied the spirit of the global Sixties as a hopeful moment in which the possibility of freedom energized those demanding political change. South Vietnam’s university students staged protests, wrote letters, and drew up plans of action that tried to unite the disparate political interests among the nation’s young people as politicians and generals in Saigon attempted to establish a viable national government. South Vietnamese government officials and U.S. advisors paid close attention to student activism hoping to identify and cultivate sources of support for the Saigon regime. While some students were willing to work with Americans, others argued that foreign intervention of any kind was bad for Vietnam. The Saigon government’s repressive tactics for dealing with political protest drove away students who otherwise might have supported it.

Abstract:
This article explores the controversial life, writings, and death of Lieutenant General Trần Độ, a decorated war hero who became Vietnam’s leading political dissident during the final decade of his life. The general made use of his biography to author “open letters” that circulated via elite social networks and later the internet. In them, he called on the Vietnamese Communist Party to democratize itself in order to foster just and equitable development for all. The details illustrate the critical importance of an individual’s biography in shaping not only dissent, but official efforts to censor it as well.

In the course of development of Internet, search systems and scientometrics, a unified standard of spelling proper names, toponyms and anthroponyms among them, acquires special importance. The purpose of this article is to suggest such a standard for the papers for publication in editions of the Center for Vietnam and ASEAN Studies of the RAS ICCA. Based on the rules set in previous years, there are some suggestions for spelling Vietnamese letters and their combinations in toponyms and anthroponyms in Russian, as well as the written form of Vietnamese personal names, also in references.

Abstract:
In the early 1930s, the well-known man of letters Phan Khôi wrote a series of essays about the Vietnamese language in which he advanced a number of proposals for reform. I focus on those arguments that are specifically concerned with the practices for referring to persons and, in particular, the practices for referring to participants in communication (i.e., speaker-addressee, writer-reader). I suggest that these arguments articulate a vision for Vietnamese public life that was imagined as breaking from the legacy of a Confucian past and establishing the conditions for the free flow of discourse among self-abstracted individuals.

Abstract:
The article is devoted to cross-cultural issues of virtual business communication. The urgency of this research is in finding out the causes of failures in virtual business communication between Russian and Vietnamese business partners. In the aspect of intercultural communication, national stereotypes of communicative behavior (hereinafter NSCB) that impede the effective business communication of Russian and Vietnamese speakers have been identified. In the aspect of virtual communication, based on linguistic and cultural analysis, the specifics of electronic business letters in Russian, English and Vietnamese is revealed. The results of the study indicated the following reasons of failures in virtual intercultural business communication: lack of direct interactions between business partners – speakers of different languages; representation of communicative intentions in written form; peculiarities in NSCBs, reflected in the national language; cultural differences in NSCBs of business partners; each language has its own means of verbalizing the communicative intentions associated with the NSCBs of the native speaker of that language. The study resulted in distinguishing the types of speech and etiquette violation in virtual business communication between Russian and Vietnamese partners, which might help in lessening communicative misunderstanding and achieving extra-linguistic goals of communication.

Abstract:
Based on academic achievements of, primarily, Chinese and Vietnamese researchers including materials recorded in the form of writings, reports, diaries, and letters sent to Europe by Western missionaries operating in China and Vietnam in the 17th and 18th centuries, and at the same time combining the application of two main research methods of Science and History (historical method and logical method) with other research methods (systematization, analysis, synthesis, statistics, etc.) and especially the comparative method, this article aims to clarify two points of focus. The first is the open attitude of Chinese and Vietnamese rulers in accepting Western medical achievements and the positive, respectful, and admiring views of some missionaries towards different aspects of traditional Chinese and Vietnamese medicine. The second is the contradiction in some Western missionaries' perception and actions when they criticized the superstition in the way of disease diagnosis and treatment of the Vietnamese and Chinese, especially the Taoist priests, however they committed to such approaches in the process of examining and treating indigenous people. The study of some of the phenomena that arose during the connections made between Western medicine and traditional Chinese and Vietnamese medicine in the 17th and 18th centuries as mentioned above would make a certain contribution to the study of the history of the East-West cultural exchange in China and Vietnam in general, as well as the medical history in the two countries, in particular during this period.

Abstract:
Sino-French war of 1884–1885 on land and at sea was significant as the beginning of a new stage of active French colonial policy in the Far East. It was a continuation of the Second French-Vietnamese war of 1883–1886, more known as “Tonkin Campaign”. France wanted to occupy Tonkin (northern Vietnam) and entrench a protectorate there. Tonkin belonged to Chinese sphere of interest because of Hong (Red) river which connected China’s southern provinces with the sea as an important trade route. Armed Conflict between France and China became inevitable. Military operations of the Far East squadron under the command of Admiral Amédée Courbet (1827–1885) become an important part of the campaign: Defeat of Chinese fleet in the Battle of Fuzhou, capture of Keelung, blockade of Taiwan’s ports, occupation of the Pescadores. This article for the first time introduces in the Russian language the “letters of sea cadet Jean” — letters from a sea cadet of Courbet’s squadron who depicted different episodes of the campaign, including landing and stay at Taiwan, relations with local authorities and population, Chinese and aborigines. For the first time the letters were published in 1890/91 in French and re-published with some notes in 2005; there is no translation into any foreign language so far. Written by a young seaman under a culture shock from a completely new and surprising world these letters are valuable for the sincerity of the story, freshness of the impressions and certain literary merits.

Hai, Peter Nguyen Van. "Lay people in the Asian church: A critical study of the role of the laity in the contextual theology of the Federation of Asian Bishops' Conferences (1970-2001) with special reference to John Paul II's Apostolic Exhortations Christifideles Laici (1989) and Ecclesia in Asia (1999) and the pastoral letters of the Vietnamese Episcopal Conference."

Abstract:
This thesis investigates the theology of the laity as proposed by the Federation of Asian Bishops' Conferences (FABC) from 1970 to 2001, and situates it in the context of post-Vatican II magisterial documents, in particular Pope John Paul II's Apostolic Exhortations Christifideles Laici (1989) and Ecclesia in Asia (1999), and the pastoral letters of the Vietnamese Episcopal Conference (VEC). The thesis suggests that the FABC's theology of the laity follows a 'see, judge, act' methodology, and is basically a faith seeking triple dialogue with the cultures, the religions, and the poor of Asia. It notes that there was both a fundamental continuity and a gradual development in this theology, which privileges the concepts of 'priesthood of life' and contextualised communion, a common matrix that is linked to the notions of integral liberation and tria munera, to explicate the vocation and mission of lay people, defined first and foremost as Asian Christians. It suggests further that the FABC's theology of the laity was formulated in tandem with its ecclesiology, one that focuses on the kingdom of God, and was marked by an increased emphasis on the Church as communion-in-mission, as dialogue and solidarity, as disciple-community, and as a community of faith, hope, and charity, realised in basic ecclesial communities.

In globalization age, international trade is becoming more and more important for any country. Letter of Credit is considered as the most popular method for payment terms for foreign trade. To carry out the safe mechanism for letter of credit transactions, a good command and knowledge in negotiation for letter of credit is essential for risk management. Thus, with the help of Letter of Credit, it makes payment safer for importers (consignees) by delegation of their obligations to pay to opening bank, while exporters (“Shipper”) undertake the negotiation process by presenting the required documents by compliance with the terms and conditions of Letter of Credit (“L/C’). In negotiation, the negotiating bank will accept the draft once the presented documents comply with the terms, conditions and instructions of Letter of Credit. In order to get the payment or draft to be accepted by negotiating bank, exporters (shippers) must ensure all presented documents correspond with the descriptions of goods in the Letter of Credit. If there exists errors or discrepancies among documents, negotiating bank is entitled to decline payment or refuse to accept the draft that lead exporters (shippers) to expose risks in international trade. This research aims to explore the potential risks of documentary discrepancy in negotiation for whether or not the presented documents has complied with the terms, conditions and instructions of Letter of Credit, while rendering plausible suggestions for Vietnamese Exporters. The main contents of the thesis are to locate the reasonable standard of negotiation in letter of credit transactions in Vietnamese (negotiating) banks. Questionnaires will be dispatched to the banks of Vietnamese for the purpose of collecting their responses to run the analysis by SPSS, together with current applicable standards for negotiation in terms of documentary examination and some cases in dispute.

AbstractThis chapter examines the presentation of the woman question in Vietnamese journalism in the 1920s–1930s. It spotlights how two columns in the paper Women’s News (Phụ nữ tân văn), “Travel Stories” (Du ký), and “Letters for You” (Thơ cho bạn), fabricated, in a journalistic manner, internationally minded and socially engaged woman figures for a modern Vietnam through authorial modalities of openness and female impersonation. Based on an analysis of the columns and their context, the chapter identifies what can be called an educational regime of truth for social reform in late colonial Vietnam in these journalistic works.

Although the racial agonies the song also speaks of still exist in all areas of the , the southern “good old boy” has had to make room for professional women, African-Americans, and new immigrants like the Vietnamese, Cambodians, and Haitians.

Abstract:
Abstract Robert Olen Butler was awarded the 1993 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for his volume of short stories A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain. Born in 1945 in Granite City, Illinois, Mr. Butler served in Vietnam as a U.S. Army counterintelligence translator. That service and his subsequent residency in Louisiana where he serves on the faculty of McNeese State University at Lake Charles were the basis of stories about Vietnamese living in America. Prior to A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain, Mr. Butler published six novels that, while well-reviewed, were never commercially successful, though they have since been reissued. These include The Alleys of Eden, Sun Dogs, Countrymen of Bones, On Distant Ground, Wabash, and The Deuce. His most recent novel is They Whisper. This interview was conducted in a single two-hour session in New Orleans in the spring of 1994. MS: Robert, I gather that winning the Pulitzer Prize has changed your life. Can you talk a little bit about how? RB: Yes, it has changed it in some obvious sort of surface ways and some rather deep and profound ways as well. On the surface, certainly my life has gotten extraordinarily busy. At first, after the prize was announced-I’m cursed with call waiting-about two hundred phone calls daisy-chained their way through my life in that first eight or ten days. The accumulation of phone messages and mail has been oppressive since the middle of April.

Abstract:
Abstract The question gets asked a lot. Let me phrase it like this: Is there still such a thing as southern writing, what with the New South and all, and technology? And if there is, what makes it southern? I’m grateful for the question. The question has become a sort of small industry helping to ease regional unemployment. Answering the question brings in some useful if not life-changing checks, and it doesn’t hurt your reputation, either. If you answer the question two or three times, you’re an expert. In fact, if you think about it, answering the question is one of the things that infallibly identifies you as a southern writer. In fact, if you think about it some more, the question itself has served as a good way to keep southern writing going, at least as a panel topic. We question our existence, therefore we must exist. That’s a nice modem way of addressing the issue, even if it does smack of how we tried to resolve the confusions created by our first philosophy class. Suppose the answer to the question was no. No, there’s not any such thing as southern literature anymore. Would we have to quit having conferences and seminars? Could anybody make us quit? Who could? The Jewish writers? Do they still exist? If so, they’re disqualified from the judging. If anybody’s going to make us quit talking about whether or not we exist, it will have to be a group that already for certain doesn’t exist. The midwestemers, maybe. Or the minimalists. Or the thirty-something urban trend jockeys. If we tum out not to exist, will I be forced to pay back the travel expenses I wrote off on my income taxes for going different places to answer the question? Maybe in 100 to 150 years, someone is going to be raising the question of whether there’s anything in American literature any more that can seriously be referred to as Vietnamese writing.

Abstract:
After unification, the mission of Vietnamese state media was rewritten to incorporate southern voices. Broadcasters assimilated the technical and administrative apparatus of the former Republic of Vietnam and adapted their programming to appeal to new audiences. Since the early reform era (1986 onwards), broadcasters have had to become more responsive to listener demands by establishing phone-in shows and playing requests, and they now consciously engage listeners online in the diaspora. Chapter 4 examines how the VOV’s broadcasting and musical wings were restructured after unification and again following economic reforms. The research investigates the spaces allocated to southern and minority content from the late 1970s onwards, including a consideration of the styles of broadcasting in minority languages. The chapter also examines the history and contemporary role of the VOV’s sound archives to understand how the categorization of musical style in the Socialist Republic has shaped perceptions of place and locality. Request letters and audience surveys illustrate how listeners took greater ownership over content just as a proliferation of commercial media alternatives were being made accessible in the socialist-oriented market economy. The chapter concludes by examining the diversification of musical styles on air to understand how the public are engaging with popular culture beyond the communist bloc more intensely since the 1990s.

Abstract In 1468 Sultan Mansur, the ruler of the Malaysian state of Melaka, wrote a letter to the king of the Ryukyu Islands, just south of Japan, extolling the benefits of trade relations: “We have learned that to master the blue oceans people must engage in commerce and trade. All the lands within the seas are united in one body. Life has never been so affluent in preceding generations as it is today.” The collapse of the Golden Age kingdoms proved a prelude to a dynamic new era in which many societies, among them Melaka, became increasingly involved with world trade and the larger Eurasian realm. Theravada Buddhism and Islam spread widely throughout Southeast Asia, and new cultures emerged. New states and empires were founded on the legacies of older ones. Most Southeast Asians lived within one of three broad social and cultural spheres that had developed by the fifteenth century: the Theravada Buddhist, the Vietnamese, and the Malayo-Muslim or Indonesian. All these peoples flourished into the 1700s.

Abstract:
In Lettre morte (1999), Linda Lê’s narrator grapples with the punishment of Mezentius, that is, the everyday torture of the living being bound to the dead. The death of the Vietnamese father seals the impossible double bind: forever inseparable from his surviving daughter, penetrating every corner of her life, his memory is a constant reminder of the absence to which the daughter’s exile had condemned him while still alive. The chapter examines this semantic interplay as it unfolds throughout the narrative to discuss the ghostly presence of the biopolitical in a book that speaks of the horrors of colonial and neocolonial and exile while refusing a realistic representation with these themes. Rather than taming or soothing the trauma by giving it a mimetic shape, the text compulsively revisits, without ever fully reconstructing, the memory of the dead father allowing him to invest the narrative space not in spite but because of the daughter’s exile and the familial estrangement that preceded and foreshadowed his disappearance. As the seminal figure of a narrative that ties together alienation, exile, love, and madness, the paternal figure represents a spectral permanence as formative as it is destructive.
