Vietnam Over the Long Twentieth Century
Over the past century, Vietnam has undergone a remarkable series of transformations. If we could go back in time to the mid-nineteenth century, we would find an early modern kingdom deeply influenced by Sinitic culture. By the end of the nineteenth century, some members of that elite, now under French colonial rule but still connected to a broader East Asian intellectual network, began t…

Il est marchandise et moyen de production, signe d’appartenance à une classe sociale, un lieu où se négocient les relations de sexe, de genre et de pouvoir ou un prétexte à des exclusions sociales et au racisme. Le corps est objet de châtiments, de sanctions et de contrôle social, support d…
