He left Southeast Asia in 1974 disenchanted with his missions in the border areas of Thailand, Burma, and Laos. His ‘disenchantments’ with these two preeminent American Cold War agencies illustrated what the United States had increasingly failed to grasp, which was the ‘indigenising’ nature of the Cold War in Thailand. This essay examines Young's career in Thailand and bordering regions to better understand the limitations of American foreign policymaking establishments and their Cold War policies.","PeriodicalId":46213,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Southeast Asian Studies","volume":"54 1","pages":"22 - 43"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46049713","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Myanmar. Everyday economic survival in Myanmar By Ardeth Maung Thawnghmung Madison: University of Wisconsin Press, 2019. Pp. 276. Tables, Maps, Photographs, Notes, Bibliography, Index.","authors":"Paul Shaffer","doi":"10.1017/S0022463422000741","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/S0022463422000741","url":null,"abstract":"under the new government. For example, in 2017, after public criticism on social media went viral, artist Zaw Zaw Aung was instructed by Aung San Suu Kyi to modify his finished painting because the Buddha images in his work were placed too low and close to street level in the composition. The modifications took him a year to finish. In another instance, street artists from Kachin State were arrested and jailed for three months after criticism on social media that the Grim Reaper figure in their mural looked like a monk (www.irrawaddy.com/news/burma/artists-freed-anti-buddhistclaims-dropped-covid-19-mural-myanmar.html). The democratic government closed one eye in the latter case as political interests trumped freedom of expression when it came to issues related to the majority religion, Buddhism. Overall, this book could be a very useful introductory reference for journalists, art students and researchers who wish to learn about the history of contemporary art in Myanmar. As the editors of this book and most people inside the country assume, the age-old censorship, political upheaval and communal violence of the 2010s in Myanmar isolated local artists from developments in global contemporary art and from the art market as well. Although the presentation of generational divides seems meaningful in terms of the political periods in which the artists were born, it would have been clearer to divide artists into those born in pre-independence and post-independence Burma, which never enjoyed much freedom and peace; all the post-independence generations have lived, to a great extent, under political repression and in turmoil. Nevertheless, Painting Myanmar’s transition well documents how the artists from all four designated generations have withstood such hardships through their careers. Even in the transitional 2010s, they did not sell enough due to the decline of tourism after the communal violence in Rakhine State broke out. The brief Introduction reflecting on how local artists migrate to parallel trades to make a living is very helpful for readers to understand what artists have to do to survive in Myanmar.","PeriodicalId":46213,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Southeast Asian Studies","volume":"53 1","pages":"827 - 829"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49404649","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Colombijn","doi":"10.1017/S0022463422000807","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/S0022463422000807","url":null,"abstract":"One of the most visible and enduring vestiges of colonialism is its buildings. In this article I address the question of how current approving references to the colonial buildings in Indonesia should be explained, looking at one particular city, Surabaya. The cheerful, innovative adoption of colonial themes defies an analysis in terms of ‘imperial debris’. I propose to borrow the term ‘bricolage’ from Claude Lévi-Strauss to describe this process in which people make new associations between selected colonial buildings and their own present lives. Bricolage is the selective conceptual appropriation of the colonial buildings for whatever objective the user finds convenient: objects to boost city marketing, a company advertisement, stops on a heritage tour, amusing backdrops for pictures and selfies, a counterpoint to a consumerist lifestyle in shopping malls. For colonial building enthusiasts, the love of colonial design and old urban quarters is more than a matter of the aesthetics of urban spaces, but also, indirectly, a critique of the transformation of modern cities by short-sighted real-estate developers and city administrators, who demolish irreplaceable buildings in acts of ‘architectural suicide’.","PeriodicalId":46213,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Southeast Asian Studies","volume":"53 1","pages":"617 - 640"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46255579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
