Dialogues, encounters and interactions through which particular ways of knowing, understanding and thinking about the world are forged lie at the centre of anthropology. Such ‘intellectual exchange’ is also central to anthropologists’ own professional practice: from their interactions with research participants and modes of pedagogy to their engagements with each other and scholars from adjacent disciplines. This collection of essays explores how such processes might best be studied cross-culturally. Foregrounding the diverse interactions, ethical reasoning, and intellectual lives of people from across the continent of Asia, the volume develops an anthropology of intellectual exchange itself.
Contemporary Asian societies bear the imprint of the experience and afterlives of colonialism, revolutionary socialism and religious and secular nationalism in dramatically contrasting ways. Asian Lives in Anthropological Perspective draws together essays that demonstrate the role of these far-reaching transformations in the shaping of two Asian settings in particular – India and Vietnam. It traces historical and contemporary realities through a variety of compelling topics including the lived experience of India’s caste system and the ethical challenges faced by Vietnamese working women.
Chung Hi knew what Lam Van meant, but pretended not to see it, continuing to say: - I want to invite you to be my bodyguard and driver. Of course, you can talk about the remuneration. Before that, can you briefly introduce yourself? I should at least know a little about your background. - My name is Moc Van, I'm from the Lieu family. Go to the city to work to earn money to get married.
As soon as she walked out of the Han family's house, Ngan Vi Trung immediately called Secretary Diep. Diep Vu Phong was preparing to go to sleep when he heard the phone ring. It was so late that Ngan Vi Trung still called me, something serious must have happened. Pressing the listen button, I heard Ngan Vi Trung's worried voice.
When Han Vu Tich stroked Lam Van's face, he immediately woke up. Quickly stood up and said: - You two, go outside and wait a moment, while I dig the two caves. Seeing that Lam Van had gone out, Lieu Nhuoc Suong quickly sat up, looked at Han Vu Tich, and jokingly said.
Lam Van affirmed that even if Han Vu Dinh was bitten by a snake, he would be fine and could force out the venom. But not being bitten is better than being bitten. There are countless venoms here that I don't know about, and using the power of Tinh Van to expel them is also very troublesome. The most important thing is that I still want to take care of this little girl, Han Vu Dinh, who can't move.
The North Atlantic development establishment has had a blemished track record over the past 65 years. In addition to a sizeable portfolio of failure, the few economic success stories in the developing world, such as South Korea and China, have been achieved by rejecting the advice of Western experts. Despite these realities, debates within mainstream development studies have stagnated around a narrow, acultural emphasis on institutions or the size and role of government. Cultures of Development uses a contrapuntal comparison of Vietnam and Brazil to show why it is important for development scholars and practitioners to broaden their conceptualization of economies to include the socio-cultura...
This book is the result of the first interdisciplinary conference in Vietnam which took place on "the Rule of Law." Instead of beginning immediately with a highly specialized debate from the perspective of one single academic discipline, we started to discuss numerous facets of the subject arising from a multidisciplinary dialogue. For this reason, the contributions for this publication come from various scientific disciplines in Vietnam and Germany: political, historical, social, economic and legal sciences, but also members of Vietnamese governmental and non-governmental organizations. The aim of the volume is to open up a dialogue about the Rule of Law between two very different legal cultures, the German-European and the Vietnamese-Southeast Asian.
After the Great Elder and his group left there, the sky poured a light drizzle. Lam Dam's entire body's bones seemed to be beaten to pieces, unable to move, so he had to lie in the rain, but even so for a moment. Even the raindrops couldn't stick to her body at all. Bach Nham used his powerful internal force to create a barrier to block the cold wind and rain from outside for her. “Your power has far exceeded the realm of a great master, so what realm are you in now?” Lam Dam stared at the mist-like barrier in front of his eyes and asked curiously. “Probably Martial Saint.” From beginning to end, Bach Nham still held her helpless hands.
