“The Journal of Transnational Asian Studies (JTAS) envisions Asia in transnational time and space. Interdisciplinary, transhistorical, and transnational in approach, the JTAS publishes scholarship that challenges traditional understandings of Asia, moving beyond the confines of area studies and national-state focus, and capturing the emergent forms of Asia-related, Asia-
inspired, and Asia-driven themes and sites of inquiry in the world today.”

“As a first step in this project I draw on studies of the contextuality of religion, gender and language use in Thailand, and expand my (2004) account of the surface nature of power in the Thai regime of images. I argue that this mode of power in contemporary Thailand, which contrasts with Foucault’s panoptic model of modern power as intrusive, emerges in part from a deep history of negotiating multiplicity and represents one response to the challenge of constructing social and cultural order in a setting characterised by multiple incommensurable cultural logics.”
“Over 500 million tweets and 21 billion SMS messages are sent daily around the world, and Indonesians are among the earliest and most eager adopters of new social media technologies. This talk looks at how users in Indonesia and neighboring countries have adapted language norms to these new forms of communication; how language use varies across different platforms with private, public, and in-group audiences; and the dominant role of local varieties of Indonesian and local languages in these new media that challenge the Orde Baru priority given to the national language. Some attention will be given to highlight register specific linguistic practices that speak to the notion that certain genres or platforms are more or less speech-like.”

“This oral history research celebrates the contribution of the many different people who have made their homes in Yangon and investigates what has happened in Yangon over time through the lens of domestic life. It amplifies unheard personal stories of home and change, and reveals the pressures on this city’s people and its heritage today.”

“In his book The Art of Not Being Governed, James Scott laments how the combination of technological prowess and sovereign ambitions has significantly compromised the stateless spaces in upland Southeast Asia. Yet, little research has been done to comparatively analyze how the processes of modern state building occurred in the borderlands between China and mainland Southeast Asia. This project examines how the multi-ethnic frontiers have been managed, and how the interplay between domestic politics and international relations since the end of WWII have affected different patterns of state building in Southwest China, upper Myanmar, and northern Thailand. Specifically it forwards an argument that the success of one country’s state building in the borderlands might actually hinder or sabotage the same such process in a neighboring country. The project examines the following set of questions. How did China and Thailand consolidate their respective control over this multi-ethnic borderland, especially during the tumultuous Cold War period when both faced both internal and external threats to their rule? Why has Myanmar not been able to project a centralized and exclusive control over this territory, where various ethnic rebels continue to hold out? Given their different political systems and international alignment patterns, how have the state building efforts in one country affected such attempts in the neighboring one(s)?”

“This paper inquires into some of the hidden dimensions of anthropological thought about the gift and giving, making the case for a new approach to value transfers. Such an approach is delineated through critical engagement with both Mauss’s original work on the subject and the work of other scholars, in particular Strathern’s new Melanesian ethnography and Derrida’s deconstructive readings. In addition, by means of drawing upon ethnographic research on Muslim practices in Java, Indonesia, the paper highlights the importance of soliciting as an alternative concept for thinking about value transfers, stressing, in particular, the significance of activities of taking for a new and different perspective on the complexities that permeate the social. The main article is followed by commentaries from Carla Jones, Daromir Rudnyckyj and Guido Sprenger, as well as a reply from the author.”

“Coming back to Malaysia in 2010, after spending the better part of the previous 20 years out of the country, was disconcerting. Everything seemed different and new. Trips to visit places I knew as a boy would be filled with apprehension as I wondered if I would still be able to recognise it. Would it be as I remembered? Would it even be there?
I felt compelled to rediscover the land of my birth. This journey of discovery would take me across the length and breadth of Malaysia with my trusty [make and model of camera] by my side. The starting point of course was my hometown of Ipoh.”
Le site dédié au livre en donne une assez bonne idée tout comme sa page Facebook.

“While based on the techniques of “Khon,” Thai classical mask dance, Pichet Klunchun has developed his own dance method and created new expressions. His thorough research and percipient critique on history have resulted in pieces that have been presented across the world and highly acclaimed. We interviewed him on the methodology and difficulty of exploring novelty while having tradition in the core of creation, the situation of dance in Thailand, and international cooperation.”
