Date et heure : le jeudi 19 juin, de 14 heures à 16 heures
Lieu : EHESS, 54 Boulevard Raspail, 75006 Paris, salle 451.
As a group of people migrated from one region to another and settled down in a
new environment, they brought along their cultures and memories of the distant
land that used to be their home. As they seek to reproduce their social values,
customs and values in their new diasporic community, the process of reproduction
is often governed by what they remember and the selective process of what they
want to remember and reproduce for their new home. At the same time, through the
recalls of their collective memories, these migrants also re-explore their
relationship with the home of ancestral origin, and establish transnational
kinship ties and networks. This talk will explore the role of collective
memories as cultural capital that propelled the Singapore Anxi Chinese migrants
to revisit their ancestral home and rekindled transnational kinship ties and
networks with their village kin. The Singapore Chinese through this journey
re-established and revitalised their transnational kinship networks and in this
process of transnationalizing their kinship ties, they establish a moral economy
that aided in the reconstruction and development of their ancestral village.



Internet as Social Capital and Social Network: Cyberactivity of Hong Kong and
Shanghai Women
Date et heure : le lundi 23 juin, de 10 heures à midi
Lieu : Université Paris Diderot, UFR LCAO, Bâtiment des Grands Moulins, 16 rue
Marguerite Duras, 75013 Paris (Métro : Grande Bibliothèque ou Quai de la gare),
Aile C, 4ième étage, salle 481
The Internet allows us to reach one another with messages almost instantaneously
and relatively cheaply. Chatrooms for simultaneous interaction between two or
more individuals, and personal blogs carry personal information to the rest of
the world. For the public, the Worldwide Web has been loaded with every
conceivable kind of information, and information overload is available at a
click, allowing us to download not only the personal but also the commercial,
the academic, the political, etc.
Through the lenses of two groups of women from Hong Kong and Shanghai
respectively, this talk will explore how women use the Internet as a form of
social capital and social network and negotiate cyberspace for their own needs
and demands and reposition themselves in local and global society. In so doing,
they have correspondingly enlarged the cyberspace and converted it into their
social space.
