The Cúng Yêu Tinh Funerary Rite Among the Bố Y People in Vietnam
The article outlines the results of long-term ethnographic field studies in the Hà Giang Province of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, focusing on the small ethnic group Bo Y, which has retained the foundations of traditional culture. The objective is to assess the Bo Y funerary practices. Original findings bearing on the traditional Bo Y ideas of life and death are introduced. Rituals of animal sacrifice relating to the ancestor cult are descri…
Heritage as Civic Pedagogy
Aim. This article examines how heritage functions as a mode of civic learning in post-socialist Vietnam through an ethnographic study of the Temple of Literature in Hanoi. Rather than treating heritage as a passive site of remembrance, the study explores how ritual atmospheres, embodied conduct, and affective coordination quietly train people to sense what is appropriate, trustworthy, and morally shared within rapidly transforming urban life. Met…
Jurisprudence of Everyday Food
When interpretation anchors participation
Participation in classroom discussion is often treated as a matter of how frequently students speak. Yet the organisation of talk within small-group exchanges suggests a different puzzle: some interpretations quickly become centres of interaction around which subsequent contributions cluster, while others fail to anchor the discussion. Based on classroom group discussions and accompanying interview material, the analysis follows how speaking turn…
The Food Debt
This article develops the concept of moral circulation to explain how ritualized debt repayment mediates relations among humans, spirits, animals, and the environment. Based on multimethod ethnography among the Bố Y of Hà Giang, northern Vietnam (2021–2024)—including forty-six interviews, six funerary observations, and integrated NVivo and SPSS analyses—the study theorizes multispecies religion as an ethical system in which obligation and recipro…
The Temporal Life of Learning
Bounded Performances
In tropical postcolonial regions, tourism has reconfigured cultural life through selective visibility. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork (2022–2024) in H’mong, Muong, and Kinh communities, this article examines how identity becomes choreographed for consumption yet remains bounded by community-set thresholds. Practices once sacred—bride-taking, stilt-house hospitality, Quan Họ singing, or Hầu Đồng trance—are transformed into choreographed visibil…
Play and the formation of pedagogical competence
Pedagogical competence in early-childhood education is commonly framed through procedural standards and measurable outcomes. Yet much of teaching unfolds in moments that exceed formal specification. Drawing on an eighteen-month, multi-sited ethnography of teacher education in Vietnam, this article examines how student-teachers learn to organise play-based activities under conditions of standardisation. Based on classroom observations, video-recor…
The "Phân Thoàn Tâu" Ritual of the Bố Y People
This study examined the role of the traditional "Phân Thoàn Tâu" ritual in Bố Y weddings, highlighting that it was not only a form of folk singing but also a unique cultural communication practice of the Bố Y community. Through content analysis of song lyrics, participant observation at weddings, and interviews with artisans and community members, the study provided in-depth insights into the formation, artistic characteristics, and socio-cultura…
Technology as a Heritage Partner
This article examines the role of technology in the preservation and development of traditional pottery craft in Bát Tràng Village, Gia Lâm District, Hanoi. Grounded in posthumanist theory, the study approaches technology not as a force opposing tradition, but as a “co-creative partner” within an interactive network of humans, materials, and heritage. Through a case study of Bát Tràng—using field observations and in-depth interviews with workshop…
From Prison to Heritage
This article critically examines the transformation of colonial prisons in Vietnam—Hỏa Lò, Côn Đảo, and Phú Quốc—into heritage sites and memory tourism destinations amid the cultural economy and postcolonial governance. Using an interdisciplinary framework that integrates contested heritage theory, posthumanist assemblage thinking, and public heritage law, the study explores how these sites are reshaped through legal norms, memory politics, techn…
Reassembling French Colonial Heritage in Postcolonial Hanoi
This article analyses the restructuring of French colonial heritage in Hanoi as adaptive cultural–economic infrastructure rather than static preservation or commodified form. Combining postcolonial, posthumanist and cultural industry perspectives, it frames heritage as a more-than-human assemblage where people, materials, technologies and institutions co-produce meanings and functions over time. Based on archival research (1902–1945), ethnographi…
Improving Participation and Performance in Senior Singing Club Activities
This article provides additional empirical evidence supporting previous studies on the positive effects of singing on the health of older adults and proposes a theoretical model to enhance the quality of singing club activities and improve the singing performance of this demographic. The study employed a combination of theoretical and experimental methods, including qualitative, quantitative, and field observation approaches. The qualitative meth…
Heritage without community
Global heritage discourse increasingly promotes community-based conservation as an inclusive and sustainable paradigm. Yet in many post-Confucian contexts, this model encounters structural constraints that remain insufficiently theorised. This article addresses the gap through a mixed-methods case study of Dan Phuong, a peri-urban district of Hanoi, where residents exhibited strong cultural awareness but minimal participation in conservation. Sur…
The Trình Tường house of the Bố Y People in Vietnam
The Trình Tường house (similer Earthen-Walled house), a distinctive architectural form of the Bố Y people in Vietnam, has embodied both cultural and spiritual values, reflecting their ethnic identity. However, modernization, climate change, and the development of tourism have placed immense pressure on the preservation of this traditional architecture. This paper aims to analyze the cultural and architectural values of the Trình Tường house in th…
