- Date：July 17, 2008, 16:00－18:00
- Place：room 207 on the 2nd floor of CSEAS East building
- Topic： Related Beings: Rice and Human
- Speaker：Prof. Ang Choulean (CSEAS Visiting Research Fellow)
- Abstract：
From several standpoints, Cambodia still remains an under-developed country.
But what she can still be proud of, she will lose, as one can guess, the
day she’ll become developed. The richness I would like to introduce you
to is deeply rural, highly cultural and in the same time highly fragile:
the thinking and ritual practices associated with rice. In rural areas,
which represent the main and profound reality of Cambodia, rice is not
just a cultivation, not just the main cultivation, the main source of peasant’s
income. Beyond cultivation, rice is culture. Maybe I’m saying a tautology.
Yet I wish to show how close to humankind rice is, for Cambodian farmers.
I will present two types of ritual where you can realize that rice, topmost
cultivation, and human, cultural creature par excellence, form two facets
of one single being. The first ritual marks the end of the harvest and
the strengthening of the seeds for the next rice cultivation cycle. The
second one is a series of rites of passage marking the different steps
of an individual’s life.

- Date：July 10 (Thurs.), 2008, 16:30－18:00

Room 207 on the second floor of CSEAS East building
- Topic："The Grameen Bank and the Bank Rakayat Indonesia: Sharing of Experiences
between the Two Microfinance Giants"
- Speaker：Prof. Tazul Islam , CSEAS vising research fellow
- Abstract：
With a brief overview of the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh and the Bank Rakayat
Indonesia, this presentation explores the financial services currently
being provided by these two microfinance giants and in the process highlights
their impact on poverty alleviation and financial sustainability: the two
main issues which make a micro finance institution successful. Basing mainly
on secondary data, the paper concludes that both the giants have many lessons
to learn from each other. In case of Grameen, though much has been done
in Grameen Phase Two, there does still appear to be considerable scope
for increasing the range of savings services needed to better meet the
needs of the poor. Likewise, in contrast to the sophistication that has
developed in the savings services of the Bank Rakayat Indonesia, the range
of lending services does not seem to be as well developed.

- Joint International Workshop on Chinese Identities and Inter-Ethnic Coexistence
and Cooperation in Southeast Asia
- You are cordially invited to the CSEAS and Netherlands Institute for War
Documentation Joint International Workshop on Chinese Identities and Inter-Ethnic
Coexistence and Cooperation in Southeast Asia
-
- Date：July 4 (Fri.) - 5(Sat.), 2008
- Place：East Building room 207 CSEAS, Kyoto University
- This workshop aims to historicize the lived experience of "being Chinese"
in Southeast Asia by looking at how economic, political, cultural, and
ideational processes have contributed to defining, producing, and reworking
"Chineseness" in various colonial and national arenas in Southeast
Asia over time. "Chinese" everyday life, ascription, and self-identification
in Southeast Asia have been shaped by transnational migration, by colonial
and national states and their projects of modernity, by global capitalism,
and by discourses of "Chineseness." The historically problematic
status of the Chinese-- variously defined as economically dominant, political
subversive, and culturally different--has been a source of ethnic tensions,
principally expressed through economic nationalism, political disenfranchisement,
assimilation-integration debates and campaigns, and (as in the case of
Indonesia) riots and outright violence. Yet "Chinese" identities
have been far more complex, multiple, and protean than is presupposed by
either scholarship or public policy or popular imagination. With the rise
of China and East Asian (both Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia) regional
growth and integration, "Chineseness" has been reconfigured in
line with changes in state policy, the popularity and impact of "overseas
Chinese" studies, and the vicissitudes of globalization. Our aim is
to highlight, through a focus on Indonesian Chinese in comparative regional
perspective, the ongoing reworkings and negotiations of "Chineseness"
and the challenges they pose for inter-ethnic coexistence and cooperation
in Southeast Asia.
