Auteurs Vietnamiens: Les Vietnamiens en France - Vietnamese-born, French citizens


Người Pháp gốc Việt là nhóm người có tổ tiên xuất xứ từ Việt Nam nhưng sau định cư ở Pháp. Đây là một trong những cộng đồng người Việt hải ngoại lớn nhất thế giới. Vì Chính phủ Pháp không làm thống kê với dữ liệu về chủng tộc của công dân Pháp nên không có con số nào chính xác để biết về số người Pháp gốc Việt. Số người Việt tại Pháp được ước tính từ khoảng 200.000[1] đến 250.000[2] người. Read more

    Rethinking Confucianism: Past and Present in China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam [Paperback] Benjamin A. Elman (Editor), John B. Duncan (Editor), Herman Ooms (Editor)



    Original Title in English 
    By Authors: Benjamin A. Elman (Editor), John B. Duncan (Editor), Herman Ooms (Editor)
    Publisher: Univ of California Los Angeles (March 1, 2002)
    ISBN-10: 1883191068 | ISBN-13: 978-1883191061 | Publication Date: March 1, 2002


    Book Description

    This ambitious volume brings together a group of distinguished scholars who have worked together over five years’ time in an attempt to explain the present pan-Asian revival of Confucianism a century after it was declared moribund by leading philosophers and thinkers in China and Japan as well as in the West.

    This collaborative study of China and its historical sphere of influence in Japan, Korea, and Vietnam begins by clearly establishing the principal threads that made up Confucian thought in the period of its unchallenged eminence. It also examines the pitfalls of Western scholars who have tended to lump together as "Confucianism" many diverse currents of Chinese and other Asian classical thought.

    Uniquely, the book explores as well traditional Confucian views of issues such as gender, medicine, and ritual, and examines the reasons given by leading Asian and Western scholars for rejecting Confucianism at the end of the nineteenth century.

    Der Tod im Reisfeld. Dreißig Jahre Krieg in Indochina

    Original Title in German Der Tod im Reisfeld. Dreißig Jahre Krieg in Indochina

    by Author Peter Scholl-Latour
    Publisher Deutsche Verlags Anstalt; Auflage: 17. unveränd. Aufl. (Mai 1999)
    ISBN-13: 978-3421019271
    Proposed English Title: Death in the Ricefields. Thirty years of war in Indochina.


     Book Review:
    In der Eroberung Kambodschas durch die Vietnamesen, in den Kämpfen zwischen China und Vietnam sind auch noch die Trümmer einer Utopie zermalmt worden, jener Utopie eines Völkerfühlings in Asiens, die deutschen Studenten den Kampruf "Ho, Ho Tschi Minh" in den Mund legte oder sie die kleine rote Mao-Bibel schwenken ließ.
    Was hat sich wirklich ereignet in Indochina, seit die Franzosen 1945 dorthin zurückkehrten, um eine Ordnung wiederherzustellen, die nur noch zu liquidieren war?
    Peter-Scholl-Latour kennt jenen Vorsprung der von China beherrschten Landmasse nach Süden wie kaum ein anderer, er ist mit allen Ländern zwischen dem Golf von Bengalen und dem Golf con Tonking vertraut: Vietnam, Kambodscha, Laos, Thailand bis hinauf nach Burma und hinab nach Singapur, und kennt dazu China, den mächtigen Nachbarn, dessen Ausstrahlung aufgenommen und abgewehrt worden ist in diesem Schnittpunkt indischer und chinesischer Kultur.
    Seit Scholl-Latour 1945 an Bord eines französischen Truppentransporters zum erstenmal dorthin reiste, hat er die Stationen einer nicht endenden Tragödie miterlebt, einer Tragödie, in der die Illusionen der Freiheit zerbrachen, weil jede Macht, jede Gruppe, weil Franzosen, Amerikaner, Vietnamesen und Rote Khmer ihre eigene Freiheit den anderen aufzuwzingen suchten.
    Die Erlebnisse, Beobachtungen, Erfahrungen jener Jahre haben sich in diesem Buch zu eindrucksvollen Bildern verdichtet. Dem erfahrenen Fernsehberichter ist es gelungen, sein gewohntes Medium mit dem Wort zu übertreffen. Der Auto bietet eine Reportage höchsten Ranges, gesättigt mit Farben, Gerüchen und Tönen, erfüllt von scharf umgerissenen, ganz und gar lebendigen Figuren, bewegt con der Turbulenz der Ereignisse und so geordnet, dass sich Zusammenhänge, Durchblicke, Einsichten wie von selbst ergeben. Das Drama historischen Ausmaßes, das sich in Indochina abgespielt hat und noch abspielt, besitzt - von Peter Scholl-latour in Szenen umgesetzt - eine Spannung, die sich dem Leser mitteilt.

    Peter Scholl - Latour, geboren 1924 in Bochum, besuchte das College St. Michel in Fribourg und das Wilhelms-Gymnasium in Kassel. Er studierte an den Universitäten Mainz, Paris und Beirut und promovierte in Paris. Seit 1950 ist er Journalist. Von 1960 bis 1963 war er Afrika-Korrespondent der ARD, con 1963 bis 1969 leitete er das Pariser Studio der ARD, con 1969 bis 1971 war er Programmdirektor des WDR-Fernsehens, und seit 1975 ist er Leiter des Pariser Studios des ZDF. Während all dieser Jahre war er mehr unterwegs als im Studio oder Büro; die Brennpunkte der Weltpolitik haben ihm stets unmittelbar angezogen.
