Ethnodiachrony, Buddhism, and ethnicity: An anthropological approach to Khmer dialectology
Article
  • Dec 2019
The paper focuses on how ethnicity is constructed and negotiated as well as on how it surfaces through language convergence. The paper aims to demonstrate that, in the very specific Khmer case, dialect convergences cannot be explained through an exclusive internal analysis of the linguistic system that would dismiss the comprehension of the anthropological environment. It is shown that external anthropological factors bound to ethnicity are to be taken into account in the understanding of dialect convergences.

Performing Ethnicity in Southern Shan State, Burma/Myanmar: The Ozi and Gong Traditions of the Myelat
Article
  • May 2013
Between the Burman lowlands and the Shan highlands of Myanmar lies a transitional zone known as the myelat that is home to several ethnic minorities. The Danu, Pa-O, Taungyo, and Intha communities all define themselves in contrast to the Burman and Shan populations that dominate to the west and the east. In this paper I examine the performance of ethnic identities through their use of distinct ozi drum traditions articulated with different drum sizes, rhythms, accompanying instruments, tempos, dance props, and gestures. The ozi and gong ensembles operate as markers of difference between the region's ethnicities, but also, given their stylistic similarities, reveal a clear example of the malleable and relational aspects of identity in a region of the world where ethnic affiliation is the primary marker of social identity and also the source of much political strife.

Coping and adaptation against decreasing fish resources : case study of fishermen in Lake Inle, Myanmar
Article
Full-text available
Fishermen depend on Lake Inle in Myanmar for their livelihood. However, the lake has been undergoing environmental degradation over the years. Adding to the long-term decrease in the catch because of this degradation, these fishermen faced extremely low water levels in 2010, which they had previously not experienced. Based on field surveys, this paper aims to reveal how fishermen adapted and coped with the changing environment as well as the sudden shock of the abnormally low water levels.
