Vision: A Computational Investigation into the Human Representation and Processing of Visual Information
Available again, an influential book that offers a framework for understanding visual perception and considers fundamental questions about the brain and its functions. David Marr's posthumously published Vision (1982) influenced a generation of brain and cognitive scientists, inspiring many to enter the field. In Vision, Marr describes a general framework for understanding visual perception and touches on broader questions about how the brain and…

Concepts of 'Individual' and 'Self' in Twentieth-Century Vietnam
Individual' (cá nhân) came to the Vietnamese language in the first decades of the twentieth century, along with a host of other evocative neologisms, such as 'society' (xã hôi), 'ethnic group/nation' (dân tôc), 'ideology' (chu' nghĩa), 'democracy' (dân chu' chu' nghĩa), 'science' (khoa hoc), and 'progress' (tiêń hóa). Initially, 'individual' was very much the poor relation among these new concepts-merely an irreducible human unit belonging to som…

The state of the social sciences in Vietnam
On the side of a building in Hanoi, in bold red letters, are the words Ve Sinh La Yeu Nuoc, which can translate as “To be hygenic is to love your country.” I think that slogan tells us a lot about contemporary Vietnam. First of all, it demonstrates how patriotic imagery, so crucial to success over French colonialists and American imperialists, is still being given top emphasis in the post-1975 era of reconstruction and of development toward a mod…

The 1920s Women's Rights Debates in Vietnam
In the quarter century preceding the August 1945 Revolution, social change was a subject often on the minds of Vietnamese. People of diverse class backgrounds and political predilections knew that Vietnamese society was being altered fundamentally. How to understand, what attitude to ake, where to go in the future-these were questions receiving constant attention
Vietnamese sources on Vietnam
In trying to understand Vietnam and the Vietnamese people, Western readers have been dependent for the most part on only a handful of Western writers and journalists--almost none of whom have bothered to master the Vietnamese language. Actually, for many years this seemed not to discomfort either writers or readers. Among Americans in particular it might be said that a silent pact existed between specialist and audience, whereby the Vietnamese we…
Intellectual functionaries
I would like to speak on the future of Vietnamese studies in North America from a perspective that I think we all can share—that is, the fact that these studies must exist in a university environment of some kind. Every one of us here, as part of the university community, has some real dilemmas to face, particularly those of us who specialize on Vietnam. I think most of us, to a degree, feel that there is something systematically wrong with our s…
Political Attitudes and Activities of Young Urban Intellectuals in South Viet-Nam
South Viet-Nam's urban youth-particularly the university and high school students-have played significant roles in the political ferment of the past three years. Beyond consistent furthering of particularistic interests, they have often served to mirror or to focus sharply the political interests of a much wider, albeit quantitatively indeterminate, portion of the population. This brief discussion is thus directed at the political activities and …
