Six years ago today I moved into @VanderbiltU for my freshman year. Can't believe how fast the time has gone. To #VU2023 on move-in day: welcome to the best adventure. It'll be challenging & wonderful & much too fast. Enjoy every minute! #VU2017 #VU2021 #doubledore #anchordown

An insightful day of social, cultural, economic and political analysis at the 2017 ANU Vietnam Update #VU2017
Breathing jasmine, watching fat bunnies bounce, hearing birds, talking about Vietnam #VU2017
Apt comment by Le Hoang Anh Thu - this conference was "like the 'Kitchen God' TV show" aired annually at Tet on VTV ... showing dark aspects yet still positive, optimistic... a comedy, even ... #VU2017
One commentator notes importance of climate change to future of life/politics in VN. Nguyen Dien suggests this update has been "darker" than first VU in 1990 -- owing especially to corruption, the specter of China #VU2017
impt theme of this wonderful conf includes "searching for meaning in the face of constraining and alienating circumstances... as a means of resisting" says Ashley Caruthers -- papers on fandom, teen Buddhists, elderly Buddhists, producers and users of herbal medicine #VU2017
Melissa Jardine giving a mind-bogglingly interesting talk about policing in Vietnam rn. Her pic of young cadets at the Police Academy shows surreal side of an extremely dark part of VNese society #VU2017

@heavyredaction Yeah, so good hearing them together. Though it seems that having a living, fleshy idol is a lot more stressful than a fleshless one like Buddha. #VU2017
Ha Hoang is using the interesting heuristic 'intimate publics' but fandom could also be considered a kind of imagined community. However, seems like a very melancholy belonging -- less-than-wealthy teens spending money, time, emotional energy on a manufactured K-pop band #VU2017
@heavyredaction True. It was interesting that Thanh's participant said, 'I like herbal medicine because it's not harmful.' Reminds me of my mum using essential oils bc she can consult her FB group for advice when her Dr not available, and bc, 'well, they can't hurt...' #VU2017

"Mediated Intimacy" -- talk on fandom by Ha Hoang. Sign of a good talk: "...thanks to the fever of Gangnam Style that swept the world..." #VU2017
#ourANU #Anthropologist Vo Duy Thanh provides further context for Maria Stalford's presentation on hospital overcrowding from this morn. If hospital too crowded, herbal meds are a legitimate alternative in Southern #Vietnam. #VU2017
Production of herbal medicine is not romantic or pleasant work -- "highly repetitive unskilled work by armies of anonymous volunteers" #VU2017
When religious practice gets entangled with therapy, is Buddhism, pathologised - is it LITERALLY seen as a magic pill? And what happens to followers when this falls through? Via Boston Uni #Anthropologist Dat Nguyen #VU2017
