This remarkable and timely ethnography explores how fishing communities living on the fringe of the South China Sea in central Vietnam interact with state and religious authorities as well as their farmer neighbors – even while handling new geopolitical challenges. The focus is mainly on marginal people and their navigation between competing forces over the decades of massive change since their incorporation into the Socialist Republic of Vietnam in 1975. The sea, however, plays a major role in this study as does the location: a once-peripheral area now at the center of a global struggle for sovereignty, influence and control in the South China Sea. The coastal fishing communities at the heart of this study are peripheral not so much because of geographical remoteness as their presumed social ‘backwardness'; they only partially fit into the social imaginary of Vietnam's territory and nation. The state thus tries to incorporate them through various cultural agendas while religious reformers seek to purify their religious practices. Yet, recently, these communities have also come to be seen as guardians of an ancient fishing culture, important in Vietnam's resistance to Chinese claims over the South China Sea. The fishers have responded to their situation with a blend of conformity, co-option and subtle indiscipline. A complex, triadic relationship is at play here. Within it are various shifting binaries – e.g. secular/religious, fishers/farmers, local ritual/Buddhist doctrine, etc. – and different protagonists (state officials, religious figures, fishermen and -women) who construct, enact, and deconstruct these relations in shifting alliances and changing contexts. Edyta Roszko's Fishers, Monks and Cadres: Navigating State, Religion and the South China Sea in Central Vietnam (NIAS/University of Hawaii Press, 2021) is a significant new work. Its vivid portrait of local beliefs and practices makes a powerful argument for looking beyond monolithic religious traditions. Its triadic analysis and subtle use of binaries offer startlingly fresh ways to view Vietnamese society and local political power. The book demonstrates Vietnam is more than urban and agrarian society in the Red River Basin and Mekong Delta. Finally, the author builds on intensive, long-term research to portray a region at the forefront of geopolitical struggle, offering insights that will be fascinating and revealing to a much broader readership. Adam Bobeck is a PhD candidate in Cultural Anthropology at the University of Leipzig. His PhD is entitled “Object-Oriented Azadari: Ontology and Ritual Theory”. Learn more about your ad choices.

Collège de FranceMondes francophones (2022-2023) - Phượng Bùi TrânAnnée 2022-2023Femmes vietnamiennes : pouvoirs, cultures et identités pluriellesColloque - Femmes vietnamiennes : créativité et engagement : Parcours d'une femme autonome de six jambesI want to tell about the journey of 21 years of writing books and 16 years of living independently in a big city of Vietnam. With 21 years of writing, I have published 5 books. In addition, I am also an independent social activist with the outstanding project of bringing my fourth work called: "Believe in Kindness" to give to inmates. The project started at the end of 2018 and has now reached 19 prisons across Vietnam. 16 years of independent living in HCM City, when I was a woman who could not walk on her own, pronunciation was very difficult. However, with my steadfastness and unceasing efforts, so far, people have called me by the nickname "Six-legged Angel". I travel around Vietnam alone to spread life motivation to many different audiences. Above are the main topics I want to present in the upcoming workshop with Mrs. Bui Tran Phuong.Tran Thi Tra MyTrần Thị Trà My was born into a poor family in Central Vietnam. At three months old, she had a health problem and was taken to the hospital by her family for surgery. She had been clinically dead for 8 hours in the morgue, thereby suffering damage to the motor nervous system and speech function. At the age of 10, she learned letters from her sister, at the age of 14 she knew how to compose poetry, at the age of 16 she started writing books and at the age of 21 she moved to Ho Chi Minh City to live independently. At 23 years old, she published her first book. Currently, she has published 5 books.

Super Typhoon Noru, one of the four strongest storms in 20 years, made landfall in the central region of Vietnam at daybreak on Wednesday, September 28, toppling trees, damaging houses and construction works, blowing away roofs and causing flooding.

After a nightmarish sleeper bus and a dreamy train ride later, we arrived in central Vietnam! In this episode, follow along as we explore the cities of Hue and Hoi An with a few day trips to the beach.

Join us for our latest podcast episode featuring a conversation between Trongthi Nguyen, Collection Development Librarian, RMIT University Library, Vietnam, and Matthew Ismail, Editor in Chief of the Charleston Briefings and Conference Director. Trongthi Nguyenwas born in Central Vietnam and moved to Ho Chi Minh City (AKA, Saigon) as a child to attend school. He obtained his MS in Library Science and decided to become a librarian upon graduation.  Thi said many people in Vietnam have seen the job of librarian as a very simple matter of checking books in and out, but things are changing and they are seeing that there is much more to librarianship than this. Thi and Matthew will discuss his job and what it's like to do Acquisitions work at RMIT (Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology) in Ho Chi Minh City, the different sorts of Universities in Vietnam and what their system of higher education is like. They will also discuss how RMIT (an Australian university) came to Vietnam and how it differs from other Vietnamese universities, how academic libraries have changed in Vietnam in the years since he first began his career at RMIT, and how a focus on customer service and communications is transforming the profession.  Social Media: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thi-nguyen-a6947522/ Keywords: #academiclibraries #libraries #librarianship  #librarycollection #scholarlycommunication #podcasts #highereducation #university

Welcome to 2022 and the first episode of the year! I have been traveling in Southern and Central Vietnam for the past 3 week happy to be back in Da Nanag with the latest update. I talk about the latest travel news from here including the final exit orders for all tourists and visitors on free visa extensions since March 2020. Thailand is ever changing in it's restrictions, and Cambodia is off to a slow start in it's recovery of the tourism sector. I'm still optimistic that this year will see the reopening of countries in the region, specifically Southeast Asia. East Asia is still a big question mark while South Asia begins to open again to visitors with aggressive efforts.As always thanks again for your support. Stay safe and be happy.

Colin Devaney is a musician, vocal coach and voiceover artist from Galway, Ireland. Colin started playing guitar at the age of 16, getting one guitar lesson on how to play a Barre chord before he realised he would have to play Love Me Tender by Elvis at the next lesson and just never went back. He would busk on the streets of Galway on and off for around 4 years or so, the perfect environment to learn how to be ignored - while also playing in venues like The Roisin Dubh, the Cellar Bar, etc... supporting bands like Chris Pontius' band Scream for Me, the Minutes, and Damien Dempsey. However, Colin realised that he wasn't breaking ground in Galway and, rather than invest in a vehicle, he emigrated to London at 22. Colin would spend nearly 7 years there, recording tracks, having fun playing gigs in all sorts of places to all sorts of people, eating absolutely everything and working all sorts of menial jobs to pay the rent on crumbling, horrible, cold apartments, finally settling in a warehouse in North London before realising he hadn't made any real progress artistically in years, A&R people ultimately saying they "didn't have any faith in the product" and PR companies refusing to market it. Colin ended up doubling down into a career position in HR that ended up being absolutely dead end for him - until a text asking if he wanted to visit a friend in Vietnam after a particularly emotional meeting inspired him to give up the job, warehouse, friends and even music to be "a guy eating noodles" for a while, a description he says he stays loyal to, to this day. On arriving in Vietnam, Colin was immediately thrust into the loving bosom of the Hanoi music scene through open mics and offered gigs pretty much immediately, which became his job. He was tipped off to more opportunities in Central Vietnam, and Colin was growing tired of the air pollution and 5am sleeping times, so he packed his life into a motorbike and drove to Hoi An and Da Nang, where he has lived for the last 3 1/2 years. We conclude Part 1 of this podcast with a discussion about success and how Colin's perspectives on it have changed through the years. #Music in the show is from his 2012 Album called 'This is the Sound'. You can listen to it in full on Bandcamp and if you want you could even do what i did myself and buy it for the price of your choice https://colindevaney.bandcamp.com/ In Part 2 coming next week we will discuss physical and mental health, tips for aspiring musicians, life changing moments, sobriety and gratitude among many other things. Thanks Colin. A Top Bloke here in #DaNang #Vietnam. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/prsradio/message

When some people talk about Vietnam they say “It's all about the food”,  and while that is partially true because it's so fantastic. Wouldn't you like to know about the different flavours and influences between the North and the South, and some of the reasons why it tastes so good?My guest Monika Czerveniak has this knowledge and love of Vietnamese food,  its people and culture in "spades".  If it's possible to hear "passion" in a voice, and I believe it is, then Monika's tell-all tales about Vietnamese cuisine will excite and delight you.As a prominent food blogger &  food presenter, she runs Chowdown Vietnam Food Tour and beyond that, in her spare time,  she is the face and creator behind Fearless Cooking Classes and Workshops in Hoi An, Vietnam, Vancouver, BC, Canada and pretty much wherever her taste buds will let her go.This episode will definitely help you further plan your trip to take in some of the great experiences of food in Vietnam. From Banh Mi to egg coffee we cover it all in this show.If you have questions like:- Is it safe to eat street food?Is Vietnamese food the same as other Asian food?What is the difference in cuisine between cities and regions? Can I get vegan food there?This is just the tip of the iceberg as we talk about Vietnamese food, as it's a subject worth talking about many times.So let's jump in and listen to what this fun-loving... “fearless” chef has to tell us about Vietnamese food and what you can expect….You can find out more about Monika in the links below:-WEBSITE: http://chowdownvietnam.com/    YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCa3WV6ZpuPNzdPJ7CUR-VdwINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/chowdownvietnam/FACEBOOK:https://www.facebook.com/chowdownvietnam/PLEASE RATE AND REVIEW ON APPLE ITUNES  - It would be most appreciated.Apple Link - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/what-about-vietnam-traveller-insights/id1513095454?uo=4Google Podcasts - https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5idXp6c3Byb3V0LmNvbS8xMDcyNjAwLnJzcw==Spotify- https://open.spotify.com/show/1wbFPHHkRXnd2pVP3nnyudIf you don't have one of the channels select other options here or listen here for free  - https://whataboutvietnamtripplanning.buzzsprout.com/Check out our website for further Traveller information, Tours, Tips, Hints and Experiences to consider. www.whataboutvietnam.com Contact me directly for more information.

In a wonderland of natural beauty and culture, you may find the one thing you didn't know you were missing – yourself. What about a holiday that ended up being a life-changing healing experience. “Why not”, you say. Is there a “booking.com for wellness and transformational healing retreats in Vietnam?"  No, not yet, but it's coming.Is it a safe place to visit post-Covid?  Find out.My guest today, Michelle Ford, is going to help us better understand just where Vietnam is heading in this space. It's an absolute delight to have Michelle on the program as she takes us through the evolution of wellness in Vietnam, carved out over 15 years living in the country as an expat. Michelle's resume is impressive as she has worked with some of the biggest hotel chains in Vietnam, bringing on some ambitious projects. Joined by a team of experts in their fields, Michelle hopes to bring to the industry highly-trained practitioners capable of curating a variety of therapies, classes, workshops, retreats, and online programs, empowering guests to rejuvenate, heal, and grow. Originally from Cape Town Michelle offers up a very professional viewpoint of the future for Vietnam tourists considering Vietnam as their wellness escape. Be it recreational, transformational, or going much deeper to healing involving yoga, mindfulness, detoxification, Ayurveda and therapeutic massage; whatever the modality; Michelle and her team, I think will be at the forefront of this in Vietnam. While you are using this ‘non travel' period of time to consider your next travel destination, I am hoping this episode may give you some greater insights into Vietnam and what it has in the planning pipeline in this space. Plus I hope it will give you a sense of confidence in visiting this country I love so much as it has managed the Covid Pandemic so successfully. To find out more about Michelle and her Luminary Vision, go tohttps://luminarywellnessmanagement.com/ To reach out to her through her profile on LinkedIn, please see her profile herehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-ford-aa69438/ To contact her directly for business consultancy – michelle@aluminarylife.com What About Vietnam Podcast listening:- PLEASE share or subscribe, you can do so easily through your favourite listening channels:- Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/1wbFPHHkRXnd2pVP3nnyud?si=-abbJm8BQlq_PSW1mY6WdA Itunes - https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/what-about-vietnam-traveller-insights/id1513095454PLEASE RATE AND REVIEW ON APPLE ITUNES  - It would be most appreciated.

Hear how Danang offers up a new kind of experience for my guest today, Jonathan Kiely.A fun Irish lad who left Ireland in search of adventure and who found himself drawn to the beachside city of Danang where he has decided, he might just settle for a bit, as he rates it as one of the best  “Chilled out” cities he has ever visited.Jonathan left his high pressure job in Ireland to go traveling.

On this week's show, we look (1:11) at the ongoing historic flooding in central Vietnam, where five provinces have been hit by multiple tropical storms in recent weeks and have sustained massive damage and tragic loss of life. What could be done to prevent such calamity in the future, and what sort of charity and relief efforts are currently underway? Our interview guest (23:10) is Le Ngoc Ha Thu, a Hanoi-based fashion designer who won the menswear category at the Redress Design Award 2020, a competition aimed at promoting sustainable clothing production and design. Thu talked about her background in design, how to be an environmentally conscious clothing consumer, and what she hopes to achieve in the future. As always, we end with Bánh Mì Banter (47:20).

In his book My Lai: Vietnam, 1968, and the Descent into Darkness (Oxford UP, 2017), Dr. Howard Jones describes how on March 16th, 1968, several units of American soldiers descended upon a collection of small villages in Central Vietnam, now collectively known as My Lai. In the space of a few short hours, they committed one of America's most infamous war crimes. While failing to find the enemy troops that their intelligence insisted were there, the Americans forced dozens of unarmed elderly men, women, children, and babies out of their homes at gun point. An unknown number of women were raped as other soldiers set fire to their homes. In an act of barbarism that can correctly be compared to Nazi violence, several hundred Vietnamese civilians were forced into ditches and machine gunned. Only three brave Americans in a helicopter tried to stop the slaughter. Almost immediately, the Army covered up the massacre. Officers, including a young Colin Powell, swept the incident under the rug and fabricated an alternative narrative of the events. Thanks to a lone whistle blower and the tireless efforts of investigative journalists like Seymour Hersh the story was eventually uncovered. Howard Jones is University research Professor of History Emeritus at the University of Alabama. Michael G. Vann is a professor of world history at California State University, Sacramento. A specialist in imperialism and the Cold War in Southeast Asia, he is the author of The Great Hanoi Rat Hunt: Empires, Disease, and Modernity in French Colonial Vietnam (Oxford, 2018). When he's not reading or talking about new books with smart people, Mike can be found surfing in Santa Cruz, California.
