PLACE - MAKING IN KAWABATA YASUNARI’S NOVELS

Nguyen Phuong Khanh — Fri, 02 Sep 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Kawabata Yasunari’s novels can be said to be an image of landscape and Japanese people of their own nature. In a certain sense, his work is the identity forJapanese culture. The compositions of “the melancholy artist wandering in looking for the beauty” are bold in landscape, depicting typical scenes of the land of cherry blossoms such as the scenery of the ancient capital with temples, gardens, pine forests, mountains, or the wild snow country with four seasons changing leaves… The landscape in Kawabata’s eyes carries an “aware” heart and is a place for people to discover themselves. The journey of the characters (the main character in Kawabata’s storied hardly stays in one place) is almost not to perform specific jobs, but is really a search for a place, to heal, to exist. It can be said that the spaces and places in Kawabata’s novels are imbued with “the sense of place”. The theory of place in phenomenology, to the concept of the “sense of place” in Phenomenology of Architecture, or Humanistic Geography, all aim to describe places man in a space with the interaction between his inner being and the outside world. A place is not just a place, it is an environment that affirms and confirms the existence and existence of people only. Place includes the cohesion of all internal and external factors, place includes the spirit of place, individuality, stability, sense of place. It even leads to concepts such as the identity of the place, the state of no place, or the death of the place... The article wants to re-read Kawabata’s works under the theory “sense of place” of architectural phenomenology to clarify Kawabata’s making Japanese landscape once again, in the way of Orient spirit, Japanese aesthetics, as he himself wrote in his Nobel Prize acceptance speech - “Japan the Beautiful and Myself”.

ORIENTAL LANDSCAPE IN THE VISION OF A WRITER IN THE SECOND EMPIRE

Phung Ngoc Kien — Sat, 17 Sep 2022 00:00:00 +0000

The journey to the East is part of the passion of Gustave Flaubert, who wrote a historical novel on the Punic War in ancient Carthage, Salammbô (1862). Before writing his novel, Flaubert wanted to visit the Orient to see with his eyes the ancient sites, the historical ruins and especially the African landscapes. He had to live the atmosphere there to make the “smell”, to make the oriental landscape breathe in the novel descriptions. Hence the description of Flaubert, always exotic, comes out of the clichés made by the speeches of the time on distant countries. His description also moves away from the Balzactian description which is always in the background of the novel. The Flaubertian description of the landscape by becoming subjective implies the refusal of the distinction of colonial civilization. This is the beginning of decolonization at a time when colonization is at its height.

Nguyen Pham Ngọc Thien, Tran Khanh Trinh — Mon, 19 Sep 2022 00:00:00 +0000

This study aimed to investigate the relationships among three factors (instructional support, assessment, and skills development) and satisfaction, as well as readiness, in online learning, with gender differences were also considered. The study surveyed undergraduate students in the southern universities in Vietnam (n = 484) using the Vietnamese version of the Student Outcomes Survey questionnaire (Fieger, 2012). The results revealed that students’ online learning satisfaction and readiness were moderately related to instructional support, assessment, and skills development. Two variables (instructional support and skills development) positively explained learners’ online learning satisfaction while assessment and skills development significantly predicted online learning readiness. Besides, an independent samples t-test showed that males were satisfied with their online learning and were willing to participate in this form of learning when the pandemic would be over. Females had the same result as males about online learning during the pandemic but thought it inappropriate in normal situations. These findings demonstrated the need for a combination of instructional support, assessment, and skills development to enhance learners' online learning satisfaction and readiness. The study contributes to the educational field regarding awareness of learners about online learning. The implications and limitations of these findings were discussed.

In the years 2014-2021, Vietnam and India have promoted comprehensive cooperation in all fields, in which, culture - education has become one of the main cooperation fields of the bilateral relations and contributed to the success of India's “Act East” policy. This article analyzes the position and role of Vietnam in India's “Act East” policy and the achievements of cooperation between two countries in the field of culture – education.

LANDSCAPE, BODY, POETRY: FROM ECOLOGICAL AESTHETICS TO GREEN THERAPY IN KOREAN AND VIETNAMESE ART CINEMA [THROUGH SHI AND MOON AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WELL]

Hoang Cam Giang — Fri, 16 Dec 2022 00:00:00 +0000

The article analyzes the deep and complex relationship between nature, the feminine body and poetry in two art films The moon at the bottom of the well (Nguyen Vinh Son, 2008, Vietnam) and Shi (Bourne, 2010). From there, we see these two films as critical discourses against the commercial cinema that is dominating the Asian market (which tends to beautify and romanticize both subjects, “landscape” and “female”). Then, going deeper into the powerful expression of the ancient capital landscape, as well as the feminine body’s resistance to that invisible power, through comparison with other popular entertainment works with the “picturesque” appeared at the same time, the article examines the process of eco-aesthetics in art films that question ecological and gender discourses in commercial films or television series. Finally, the article also looks for an exciting point connecting the two films in the sharing of the conservatism of the traditional patriarchal society colliding with recent changes, in the beauty of the natural world is internalized associated with the trauma and salvation of women in the lower classes of society, in the redefining of poetry not only as of the surface of beautiful landscape images but also as the depths of forgotten human tragedy and crisis.

FROM THE LANDSCAPE TO THE MENTAL LANDSCAPE IN THE POETRY OF Y PHƯƠNG

Do Thi Thu Huyen — Mon, 12 Sep 2022 00:00:00 +0000

A well-known Tày poet, Y Phương (1948-2022) had an important bilingual poetry collection in Tày-Việt, Thất tàng lồm (“Against the wind”, Ed. Văn hóa dân tộc, 2006). Although this poetic collection is not consecrated and does not attract the attention of the public, the promised poetic renovations are discovered. Y Phương moves away from traditional subjects, from the usual aspirations to discover new lands. These renovation efforts, which pave the way for later successes, are marked out by displacements from Cao Bằng to Hà Nội, from the mountains to the capital. Their displacements are accompanied by the interiorization of the landscapes of the native country, of the high region in the lyrical subject. Questions then arises: how can we establish the imbalances between the text and the paratext, between the exterior landscapes and the interior landscapes? Can we define the mental changes of a voluntary exodus from a native country, whose landscape is internalized?

Dang Thi Thai Ha — Fri, 02 Sep 2022 00:00:00 +0000

This article chooses Vu Bang’s Thuong nho muoi hai as a case study to discover the ways in which landscapes are constructed in discourses, especially focuses on how mythologies of “home-land” were created in expatriate communities. Landscape of Ha Noi in particular (or Bac Viet in general), therefore, is not only analysized to reveal its imaginariness but also compared with other discourses about Hanoi to realize the mutual ideologies govern them. The article then tries to find out psychological mechanisms which led to the constructions of this landscape as a paradise of nature and human life. Traumatic historical upheavals, war and the devision of the country, the migration of northerners to the south, the nostalgia for homeland, all can be seen as historical and psychological conditions which brought about a system of presentations of Ha Noi/Bac Viet in this period, of which Thuong nho muoi hai is an expample.
