“I Came Not Only to Save the Sangha”
This article investigates the textual productions of the Cao Đài religion through the annotated translation in English of the earliest Cao Đài text published in Vietnamese on October 15, 1926. With the title Phổ Cáo Chúng Sanh – Đại Đạo Tam Kỳ Phổ Độ (Universal Manifesto [of the] Great Đạo of the Third Era of Universal Salvation), this publication and our translation aim to highlight the translingual practices at play in the production of Cao Ðài…
Exploring Caodai Networks and Practices in France
As a Vietnamese autochthonous religion, Cao Ðài was first meant to address Vietnamese people, who received the mission to spread out humanistic and salvationist messages all over the world. Cao Ðài expanded overseas, with few hundreds of them settled in France. Firstly, I will clarify the profile of few French sympathisers in colonial and postcolonial times. Secondly, I will examine ethnographic data collected in the two main Caodai temples of Vi…

Technologies of Power and BruHealth Biopolitics amidst the Covid-19 Pandemic in Brunei Darussalam
The pandemic has been a turning point in the technologies of power deployed by the state to contain and address the COVID-19 crisis. Whereas planning and discussions on the Industrial Revolution 4.0 in the Sultanate of Brunei Darussalam had been ongoing for several years, the pandemic became an unexpected catalyst for the realisation of these digitalisation plans with the launching of a onestop mobile application called BruHealth. This article sh…
Religious Actors, Care, and Mood in the Time of Covid-19
The introduction to this special issue considers the interdisciplinary study of religious sentiments, religious care and social actions during the COVID -19 outbreak in South-, East- and Southeast Asia. Our approach in terms of nodes and polarisation allows one to visualise a bundle of religious and secular actors and interests, as well as original strategies and actions, in time of pandemic, which sometimes challenge local regimes of truth and a…
Religious Care and Moral Economy amidst Covid-19
After Independence in 1984, the Sultanate of Brunei declared Melayu Islam Beraja ( MIB ) as the official state ideology. Translated as “Malay Islamic Monarchy,” this ideology is primarily interpreted through the Islamic lens and encompasses all sectors of the society. Facing the COVID -19 crisis, the government took quick and Shari’a-driven measures to contain the further import and propagation of the virus. How did faith intertwine with healthca…
Nation, Damned Nation and Statistics
The Summer Institute of Linguistics ( SIL )’s main objective is to translate the Bible into all languages by collecting ethnolinguistic data thanks to the methods of participant-observation and lexical investigation. Tracing its origins to the mid-1930s in the United States and Central America, SIL started its missionary, linguistic and development activities in Southeast Asia in the 1950s, especially in the Philippines (1953) and Vietnam (1954).…

China’s Maritime Nexus in Southeast Asia
At the 17th ASEAN Regional Forum in 2010, Chinese Minister of Foreign Affairs Yang Jiechi reminded everyone that “China is a big country and all the other countries are small countries; this is a fact.” Though Brunei is the smallest of all the ASEAN states in both population and GDP, the level of Chinese investment in the sultanate (cumulated direct investment and construction contracts divided by 2018 GDP) is much higher than in most other ASEAN…
The Cao Đài Deathscape
This article sheds light on the sophisticated funeral process set up by the Cao Đài religion (or Caodaism), combining both a theological and an ethnographical analysis. After introducing how Cao Đài theology represents both the body and the spiritual components of each individual in the specific millenarian conception of existence that characterizes Cao Đài, we trace the ritual process of funerals from the altar and coffin preparation to the coll…
Printing Cosmopolitanism, Challenging Orthodoxies
In the first part of the twentieth century, some members of the French- or Chinese-educated but indigenous religious, economic, and political elite in southern Vietnam (Cochin-China) intensively engaged in spirit-medium practices. Many of them set up or joined the new Cao Đài religion and its spirit-medium séances. Integrating in their pantheon religious figures from Buddhism, Daoism, Confucianism, and even Catholicism, Cao Đài leaders deliberate…
Occulting the Dao
This article takes the case of the Vietnamese Cao Dai religion to examine how Asian religious leaders and translators, in a context of colonial modernity, invested a European language with their own cosmologies and discourses, building both a national identity and an alternative spiritual universalism. Studies of translation in colonial contexts have tended to focus on the processes and impact of translating European texts and ideas into the lang…
Benedictine Monastic Communitas in Wartime Central Vietnam (1954–75)
This article focuses on the question of the establishment of a Catholic monastic tradition, shaped by its Western creation and subsequent exportation to an Asian society. In 1954 the French Benedictine Congregation of St. Bathilde of Vanves founded a monastery in Central Vietnam. The circumstances of the Vietnam war, coupled with a holistic implementation plan instigated by the nuns, enabled the establishment of a small, but sedentary and durable…

Se convertir et re-convertir au Ratanakiri (Cambodge). À propos du pentecôtisme en contexte pluriethnique et plurilinguistique
Cambodian society, which is mainly Khmer and Buddhist, faces an inevitable diversification of its religious landscape. With one-third of its population below the poverty line, Cambodia has become a favoured target of Pentecostal churches with their salvation theology. The author will focus on analyzing both the temporary and structural limits of the penetration mode of Foursquare Church into Ratanakiri, a multiethnic and multilinguistic province …

Divination and Politics in Southern Vietnam
Caodaism is a Vietnamese religious movement that appeared in colonial Cochinchina in the 1920s. What are the sociological roots of Caodaism? The author attempts to answer this question through an analysis of the Caodaist networks that developed in the early 20th century in Cochinchina. Setting out some ethnographic materials concerning the Chinese Minh religions, the author focuses on only one of the five Minh religions in Vietnam, called Minh Lý…
Caodaism and its global networks
Born in the 1920’s in Cochinchina, Caodaism is a religious movement that has had important political repercussions in southern Vietnam, and suffered suspicion and censure from different governments throughout the 20th century. Today, overseas Caodai communities present a space for ideological projections and for political action. Between two and four million Caodaists worship today in Vietnam, compared to 13,000-15,000 overseas. Contrary to expec…

Caodaïstes de Bến Tre (Viêt-nam) après 1975
After reunification in 1975, the Communist government in Hanoi implemented various measures to control the Cao Ðài political and religious movement. These measures are still in place today, although one can see some signs of easing up on some specific branches of the movement. The reasons for such governmental mistrust can be found in the political and ideological basis of Caodaism, which appeared in the 1920s in Cochinchina, but also in the key …
