Farewell, Hoa!
The Center is sad to say goodbye to our grad student staff member, Le Thi Vinh Hoa, who has completed her degree work and will return home to Viet Nam next week. Hoa was the person responsible for bringing you our weekly newsletter and producing all of our PR materials covering everything from film announcements to campus and community events. Hoa also managed the Vietnamese film translation and subtitling project for our Center and will be sorely missed. From all of us here at CSEAS, we wish you chúc may mắn! |
EXPLORATIONS on CSEAS Website
It is with great pleasure that we present the 2009 edition of EXPLORATIONS, a graduate student journal of Southeast Asian studies (Vol. 9, Spring 2009). The articles touch on a diverse array of topics, from Muslim dolls to a dark period in Cambodia's history to linguistic code-switching in Malay to the sea people who call Southeast Asian waters home. Equally diverse are the authors and editors who contributed to this edition, a committed group of burgeoning Southeast Asianists hailing from countries around the globe.
In many ways, this edition represents the changing face of Southeast Asian scholarship - from the disciplinary diversity of the topics explored, to the identities, nationalities, and research interests of the explorers themselves.
To access this edition, please visit our website then click on the Explorations icon on the right side of the home page.
Past editions of Explorations are available for download from ScholarSpace, the University of Hawaii's Institutional Repository, and have persistent URLs suited to academic citations.

A Letter from Lontar
Lontar Foundation, Jakarta, Indonesia
In my June letter to Friends of Lontar I mentioned a number of projects on which Lontar is working, one of which is publication of The Lontar Anthology of Indonesian Drama. This three-volume work, containing 35 Indonesian plays spanning the 20th century, will be the first comprehensive book ever on the subject.
Work on the series has progressed: layout is final stage; the proofreader is hard at work; and cover designs have been prepared. If all goes well, this landmark series will be launched in November or December of this year.
.
As was also noted in my June letter, major funding for the years of work that went into this anthology was provided by The Henry Luce Foundation. Additional assistance has been provided by Ford Foundation.
Not all publication projects require major capital outlays. In fact, the production cost of most of Lontar's books, including those in the forthcoming Modern Library of Indonesia series (which I will speak more of in next month's letter), ranges between US$ 10,000 to 20,000...which is to say, you don't have to be a corporation to sponsor a publication!
Lontar continues to enjoy a fairly good response to its fund-raising campaign and once we have launched our new website (work on which will commence soon), I hope to see exponential gains. Surprisingly (and quite hearteningly) we have garnered much more response from friends in Indonesia than from friends abroad-approximately US$ 4,000 from our foreign-based friends as compared to US$ 25,000 from our Indonesia-based friends! While we are extremely thankful for the contributions given to us thus far, we still have a very long ways to go before Lontar is anywhere near the level of financial stability it needs to guarantee a sustainable future.
If you have already contributed to Lontar, I extend to you my sincere and utmost thanks. If you haven't contributed but would be interested in helping to underwrite the cost of Lontar's ventures (any amount - even US$10!), please do so by visiting our website. |
