  4. タイトル:Sampling Termite and Ant Assemblages in Coffee Plantation, Dak Lak Province, Vietnam
  5. 要旨:Vietnam is now aptly dubbed the world's second-largest exporter of coffee after Brazil. Coffee production accounts for approximately 3% of national GDP in Vietnam. The coffee industry also provides a livelihood to approximately 2.6 million farmers in Vietnam. Nevertheless, in parallel to the increase in global demand, vast coffee plantations in Vietnam come at an environmental cost. Hectares of forest have been uprooted and excessive agrochemicals have been pumped into the earth. This results in losses in insect biodiversity and indirectly disrupts the interaction of the prey-predator population in given plantation areas. Today, sustainable farming practices are now at the forefront in the development of coffee production in Vietnam due to market threat. However, efforts are still limited where only 10% of coffee produced meets sustainable standard compared with 75% of production in Latin America. Restoration of insect ecosystem services is one of the pivotal steps to promote sustainability in agriculture today. However, termites and ants are claimed to have mixed roles in this context. The present study aims to identify whether both insects provide a service to the ecosystem or if they are a pest in coffee agro-ecosystems in SE Asia.
API Seminar
  1. 日時:平成24年5月29日(火) 16:30~17:30
  2. 場所:東南亭(稲盛財団記念館201号室)
  3. 発表者:Vicente C. Handa, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Division of Science Education, West Visayas State University
  4. タイトル:Indigenization and Hybridization of Science Curriculum: Models of Culturally Relevant Science Education in the Philippines and Thailand
  5. 要旨:Section 1: In this paper, I will build my discussion around indigenous knowledge and its parity with various ways of knowing nature including traditional ecological knowledge, indigenous ways of living in nature, a Japanese way of knowing seigo-shizen, and Eurocentric sciences. I will situate my discussion in Philippine postcolonial realities, where categorical boundaries are blurred, and any attempt to create culturally relevant preservice science teacher preparation will create confusions and tensions between/among/within abovementioned discourses. The Philippines is a highly colonized country―physically, for more than 300 hundred years, and mentally, after our colonizers have long gone.The marks of colonization are still present in our consciousness, in our current local knowledge and in our ways of living with nature. In the attempt to create a “third space” for culturally relevant science teacher preparation, tensions are highlighted and categorical boundaries are troubled. Where is science? Which one is indigenous/traditional ecological knowledge? Which one is Filipino? Which one is foreign? Which one is ours? Which one is borrowed? These tensions and insights are highlighted through analysis of narratives drawn from interviews with and written outputs of prospective science teachers, as they attempted to make sense of the local knowledge of residents of a rural coastal village in the Philippines during Community Immersion, a community-centered, early-field experience in science teacher preparation.
  6. Section 2: Culture often mediates knowledge production in a particular country. In Thailand, where Western scientific knowledge stands side by side with local wisdom, how does science education negotiate these two different and often times conflicting pathways of knowledge production and create hybrid spaces in order to expand the boundary of official science? Drawn from multi-site ethnographic studies in schools―in basic education and preservice science teacher preparation―and in local villages, I will discuss the epistemological basis of Thai local wisdom and Western science and discuss how hybrid spaces are created in schools to accommodate local wisdom in science instruction. Furthermore, I will present models of culturally relevant science education in Thailand, both from the macro- and micro-perspective, and discuss how these might inform science education in the Philippines and other Southeast Asian countries.

  4. タイトル:"Islamic Law and Reconstruction in Post-Tsunami Aceh, Indonesia"
  5. 要旨:This study of the contemporary Islamic legal system in Aceh (Indonesia) argues for new attention to be paid to the ways in which contemporary Muslim agendas for the implementation of Islamic law can be read as projects for future-oriented social transformation―rather than as a series of reactive measures to perceived ‘crises of modernity’ and/or the political machinations of rival elites in contesting control of state power. In doing so it highlights the ways in which the ideals of, and institutional formations developed by, proponents of Islamic law are configured in relation to a broad range of non-Muslim modernist projects, including European and American theories of the sociology of law and international discourses on post-disaster reconstruction. Through examinations of these influences on discussions of Islamic law in Aceh, this paper demonstrates the degrees to which contemporary Shari`a implementation is inextricably linked to broader configurations of law, moral authority, state power, and economic development in the modern global order.

Tonan Talk, a Brown Bag Lecture Series

  2. 場 所:小会議室II(稲盛財団記念館331号室)
  3. 講 師: Dr. Gloria Cano, Universitat Pompeu Fabra *
  4. タイトル:Catalonia and the Propaganda Movement
  5. 要 旨:
  6. There is a secular argument which establishes that the raising of liberalism in Spain and the opening of the islands to foreign trade and capital investment encouraged the rise of a prosperous class of mestizos and native elites or principales. For the first time families could afford to send their sons to universities to Europe, Hong Kong, Singapore and Japan. This argument provided by American historiography is not an absolute truth since there is not mention to Spanish universities. If we carefully read the journal of La Solidaridad we realize most of wealthy Filipinos came to Madrid and Barcelona universities.
  7. This paper gives a new perspective about Filipinos’ stay in Spain. In the second half of the nineteenth century several Filipino colonies established in Madrid and in Barcelona. Actually, Barcelona became one of the most important Filipino’s settlements. The Filipino colony of Barcelona lived the raising of Catalan nationalism, the discovery of Catalan roots, Catalan language, the beginning of important associations, etc. There was an active Catalan intelligentsia who unconditionally supported Filipinos. In sum, as it will be explored, the events which took place in Catalonia influenced the further political ideas of Filipinos.

She has published high impact works such as “Evidence for the deliberate distortion of the Spanish Philippine colonial historical record in The Philippine Islands 1493-1898’ published in JSEAS in 2008 or Blair and Robertson´s The Philippine Islands 1493-1898: Scholarship or Imperialist Propaganda? published in Philippine Studies in 2008, among others.
Special Seminar
  1. 日 時:平成24年5月10日(木) 16:00~18:00
  2. 場 所:東南亭(稲盛財団記念館201号室)
  3. 講 師:Professor Anthony Reid
  4. タイトル:Indonesia Rising: Is this at last the moment in the sun?
  5. 司会:小泉順子(東南アジア研究所)
  6. 主催:東南アジアにおける持続型生存基盤研究
  7. 要 旨:
  8. There are reasons for thinking that this is at last Indonesia’s moment on the world stage. Having successfully negotiated its difficult transition to democracy after 1998, Indonesia has held three popular elections with a low level of violence by the standards of southern Asia. Recently its economic growth rate has been high (above 6 per cent a year) and rising, where China’s has been dropping and the developed world has been in crisis. Indonesia’s admission in 2009 to the G20 club of the world’s most influential states seemed to confirm a status implied by its size, as the world’s fourth-largest country by population, and the largest with a Muslim majority. Some international pundits have been declaring that Indonesia is the new star to watch, and that its long-awaited moment in the sun may at last have arrived.
  9. Those who know Indonesia well are less easy to convince. This talk is based on a forthcoming book emanating from ANU’s 2011 ‘Indonesia Update’, in which a number of Indonesian and international pundits weighed the question how Indonesia now stands in the world. Some of the figures look promising, and the policy boxes appropriately ticked, but vested interests, corruption, inertia, incompetence, extremism and the usual messiness raise the likelihood that once again an opportunity will be lost.
  10. Professor Anthony Reid is a Southeast Asian historian, once again based at the Australian National University after serving as founding Director of the Center for Southeast Asian Studies at UCLA (1999-2002) and of the Asia Research Institute at NUS, Singapore (2002-7). He is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of the Humanities and the British Academy, and was awarded the Fukuoka Asian Culture Prize in 2002. In 2009-10 he was a Visiting Fellow at CSEAS. His books include The Contest for North Sumatra: Aceh, the Netherlands and Britain, 1858-98 (1969); The Indonesian National Revolution (1974); The Blood of the People: Revolution and the End of Traditional Rule in Northern Sumatra (1979); Southeast Asia in the Age of Commerce (2 vols. 1988-93); An Indonesian Frontier: Acehnese and other histories of Sumatra (2004); Imperial Alchemy: Nationalism and political identity in Southeast Asia (2010), and To Nation by Revolution: Indonesia in the 20th Century (2011).

  4. タイトル:Global Discourses/Asian Voices: Strategies for Raising the Visibility of Asian Scholarship in the Global Academic Communit
  5. 要 旨:
  6. In 2000 Kenneth Pomeranz of the University of California (Irvine) published The Great Divergence: China, Europe and the Making of the Modern World Economy, which touched off debates that have shaped much of the contemporary discourse on global economic history. Many of the ideas he developed in that volume drew on research that had begun almost twenty years earlier by Japanese scholars, who had mined the rich records on international trade in a wide variety of languages to reconsider questions related to the so-called “western impact.” Despite the centrality of Japanese (and Chinese) research to the debates about the great divergence, most of those whose voices can be heard in this debate are western scholars writing in English, and much of the on-going Asian research in the field has gained little notice. This is only one example of a common problem of the invisibility in global discourse of contributions of Japanese scholarship, and of the scholarship produced by those working in other Asian languages.
  7. For those involved in “area studies” the problem is particularly severe. Scholars working on the various countries of Asia must first master one or more other Asian languages for their own research and communication with scholars in the country/ies they are studying, as well as learning to communicate at a sophisticated level in English in order to participate in the global discourses. The problems of visibility have been complicated by the spread of digital resources, and the difficulties of financing digitalization in Asian languages that have relatively smaller user bases.
  8. This talk will talk about strategies to raise the visibility of Asian scholarship in the global academic community, focusing on three major areas: first, a proposal for changes in graduate education; second, a proposal for workshops to aid in changing writing and presentation styles; and third, a discussion of problems faced in the digital age.
  9. The talk is based on my own experience teaching and working in Japan, as a translator and editor of academic work, and in recent years participation in the organization and promotion of international exchange programs at a private university in Japan and as an advisor to the Harvard Yenching Institute which has a long history of promoting academic exchange between the United States and various Asian countries.
