Water Festival as Spectacle: Sino-Burmese Identities, Ethnic Politics and Public Performances in Macau
Thursday, April 28, 2016
4:00 PM - 5:30 PM
Bunche Hall 10383, UCLA
In the decades after Ne Win’s military regime seized power in 1962 and anti-Chinese riots occurred in 1967, many Sino-Burmese people chose to flee Burma and immigrate to Macau. Today, they number over 40,000, making up 8% of Macau’s total population. They also constitute 60% of what the Macanese government officially calls gui qiao (“returning overseas Chinese”), and are thus recognized as Macau’s largest gui qiao community. To claim their ethnic subjectivity, this group has successfully created a unique Sino-Burmese Water Festival (derived from the Burmese Theravada Buddhist thingyan festival). When it was first held in 1995, it was simply a community initiative to commemorate their nostalgia towards their second homeland, Burma. Soon after Macau’s sovereignty was transferred from Portugal to China in 1999, the Macanese government transformed this festival from a one-day community gathering into a three-day grand Water Festival Carnival. The transformation has not only helped the group form a notable ethnic identity, mian hua (Burmese Chinese), but also boosted Macau’s city tourism, which, along with its gambling enterprises, facilitates an economic boom enjoyed by all residents.
Based on an ethnographic study conducted in 2015 and 2016, this talk examines how music and dance are crucial to the making of the Sino-Burmese water festival, and to its articulation of identity. The festival can be said to draw on collective understanding of space and agency, and to operate within a rhetoric of multiculturalism, nostalgic sentiments, community networks and bureaucratic logic. However, whilst presenting this cultural production as spectacular, the festival has obscured the continuous unbalanced power dynamics amongst subgroups. A “twin festival” phenomenon reveals the tensions sparked between the Sino-Burmese inhabitants and ethnic Burmese migrant workers occurring in recent years. This speaks to the idea of “festival reclamation,” where subaltern groups reclaim representations of a festival constructed by the dominant culture. |

SEMINAR: THE 8 UNIVERSAL LAWS OF LEADERSHIP, ABSOLUTELY FREE.
If you want to increase productivity, efficiency, sales, and profits in any industry or activity, whether for yourself, or for any size organization, the key is leadership. Beginning at West Point, and through being a PhD student, and then later a personal friend of Peter Drucker, "the Father of Modern Management", Dr. Cohen has practiced leadership around the world. He worked with hundreds of organizations and entrepreneurs, analyzed several hundreds more, including in the government, major corporations, as well as small companies. The leadership influence tools he uncovered through Drucker resulted in him writing more than 50 books published in 23 languages and in the co-founding of an accredited non-profit degree-granting graduate school (CIAM). The next seminar will be on May 10th* @5pm
Reserve Your Seat Today: 1(626)350-1500
