17. Abstract：Professor Porphant Ouyyanont
18. This seminar deals with the remarkable industrialisation of Bangkok and the growth of its population after 1945. Equally remarkable is the earlier long period when there was virtually no industrialisation and much of the labour market for industries and services came from migrants from China. After 1945, the Bangkok labour force increasingly came from within the country. What caused these changes? The argument made in this paper is that a fundamental shift took place in the Thai labour market after 1945 as relative earnings in industry and agriculture shifted in favour of the former.

12. Abstract： Dr. Yunita Winarto
13. It is a reality that the rural people all over Java are experiencing significant changes in their life in the recent modernization and globalization era. The rural farmers in villages in Java, such as in Gunung Kidul in the southern part of Yogyakarta, have gradually become part of the larger world, not only through the flow of people and things in and out the village, but also through the flow of ideas and intervened programs from various agencies. The stateﾕs intervention program is one significant aspect that brought some changes in their life. The presentation will discuss and examine the extent to which the involvement of women as the recipients of those programs has been altering the power relations within the so-called ﾔfamilyﾕ in Gunung Kidul region. The Javanese rural women have been actively carrying out their roles in both domestic and economic domains. Yet, in the past or in their ﾒtraditionalﾓ Javanese norms, women were not quite involved in social-political affairs as ﾒthe husbandﾕs friend at the back of the houseﾓ or as konco wingking. In the recent years I observed a growth of womenﾕs role as active and creative agents in both economic and social-political arenas of their life. It is thus significant to examine the extent to which the changes of opportunities and circumstances in village life and womenﾕs empowerment due to various kinds of intervention affect their ﾒtraditionalﾓ roles as Javanese wives and mothers which may further have some implications on the Javanese concepts and institutions of ﾒhousehold and familyﾓ. What are the persisting norms and practices despite some changes?
14. As an illustration, I will discuss two cases of active and creative women agents in two villages in the regency of Gunung Kidul. Both of them have been exposed to various government programs, including the so-called Farmer Field School in Integrated Pest Management. Some similarities and variations do exist in its implications on ﾒhousehold and family life, their roles beyond the domestic world, and the formation of collective actionﾓ in their locales.
15. Abstract: Dr. Sulistyowati Irianto
16. Legal reform in Indonesia indicates that the legal position of Indonesian women in inheritance matters is gradually changing. There is no codification of law govern inheritance in Indonesia. Codified legal authority governing inheritance spreads in several Acts, like the Marriage Act, the Civil Code (valid for the Christian), and the Compilation of Islamic Law, or sharia (valid for the Moslem). There are also many Judge Decisions of the Supreme Court on inheritance cases deal with many ethnic groups in Indonesia. The aim of the proposed research is to examine the shifts in womenﾕs positions in inheritance matters, with a main focus on women belongs to some ethnic groups in Indonesia. It criticises the substance of existing legal references, and challenge how it is applied by the court. It will also problematize womenﾕs access to justice in inheritance disputes. The study thus aims to examine how the changing ﾒinheritance lawﾓ and its practice are taking place through the dispute cases.
17. The research will be conducted in three phases. The first is a critical analysis of the legal documentation governing inheritance to determine the position and rights of women in these statutes. The second is documentary research which will look at the law cases available in the Supreme Court Documentation and see how judges have interpreted the law in the court room. The comparative perspective will be used by selecting the law cases deal with inheritance among patrilineal, matrilineal, and bilateral kinship system from various religious background (mainly Moslem and Christian). This third phase is to observe the ongoing court trial. The parties involved in the certain case will be interviewed. The research will be limited to the State Courts located in Jakarta and two nearby districts in West Java (Depok and Bogor). The religious court can be also selected because most of the Moslem settled family dispute in religious court.

拠点大学交流事業特別セミナープロジェクト８「変貌する「家族」」主催　-　イサーン（東北タイ）社会における通文化結婚：研究の現状-

4. 要旨抜粋：
5. In Thailand, during the recent decades, transnational marriage between rural Thai women and ? predominantly European ? Western men is one a striking social phenomenon in current Northeastern (locally known as Isaan) Thai society. A preliminary survey conducted by the National Economic and Social Development Board (NESDB) in 2003 indicated that 19,594 women in 19 northeastern provinces married to foreigners. Statistics also indicated that in some rural villages women around one-third of the total households are engaged in these transnational relationships. Although intermarriage is not a recent phenomenon in Thai society, the current phenomenon of transnational marriages, however, provides a different scenario. The most obvious difference is the drastic increase in terms of quantity ? particularly in this recent decade. It is also observed that there are many more women from rural communities, particularly in Isaan, engaging in these relationships than women from any other region or social class. The dynamics of these relationships also differ in that it is more common now for women to not permanently leave their families and communities of origin to earn a living in the husbandﾕs country. Meanwhile, there are also growing numbers of Western partners who move to live with their wives in rural villages for some period of time every year. In these contemporary situations, then, the couple is mobile more often than in the past.
6. This research aims to explore the development and dynamics of cross-cultural marriage in Thai society and its relation to the current phenomenon of transnational marriage between rural Isaan women and western men. It also seeks to review how this phenomenon has been conceptualized under the dynamics of the Thai as well as global contexts. Based on documentary studies, the research is divided into two major parts. The first part deals with cross-cultural marriage, particularly between Thais and Westerners, in social history of Siam. The second part focuses more on dynamics of the phenomenon and the analytical approaches applied to capture the phenomenon.

20. "Family Law and Consolidation of Modern Thai Version of Patriarchy"
21. By Chalidaporn Songsamphan
22. In 1976, the so-called Thai ‘family law’ had to be amended since the Constitution of 1974 establishes the equal status between men and women. All the laws granting different rights or privileges, usually favorably to men, had to be revised accordingly. Interestingly, the modification of these laws on the ground of gender equality was limited significantly by the claims to preserve different standards of sexual conducts for men and women. This paper will examine the debates in the Thai parliament in the process of revising the ‘family law’ to show how different interpretations and beliefs about the realities of Thai family led to the affirmation or preservation of modern patriarchal marriage and family.
23. "Managing Differences in Family Practices of the Karen in Chiang Mai City of Northern Thailand"
24. By Kwanchewan Buadaeng
25. In the past two decades, Karen peoples from mountainous areas of Northern Thailand have increasingly migrated to cities such as Chiang Mai, the biggest city in the Upper North. Young people come for study while working to support themselves. Many others come to work to find more cash to fulfill their increasing need of modern facilities. At the same time, more migration from Burma across the border to the North of Thailand has also taken place. In the urban context, intermarriage between Karen of different background: different subgroups, original countries, etc, has also taken places. It is interesting to understand how differences in family practices of Karen from different background are managed in order to understand the dynamic of cultural practices and its relations with Karen identity. The paper will describe two case studies of the intermarriage between Pwo and Sgaw Karen and between Burmese and Thai Karen, in Chiang Mai city. Data has been collected within the last two years. The cases show that in the globalized and urbanized context, some cultural practices have to be adjusted but some maintained in order to maintain their family relations, and also their relations with Karen community and broader society.
