The “Cold War” Embedded in Society
Bridging the Gap between Anthropology and History of Mekong River Basin Societies in the Mainland Southeast Asia
Abstract:
This workshop is an attempt to understand the “Cold War” as an era and an idea within the context of the Mekong River Basin societies of mainland Southeast Asia. Until the end of the twentieth century, the Cold War in mainland Southeast Asia was viewed similarly to the Vietnam War (Second Indochina War), namely as a proxy war between the United States and the Soviet Union, as well as low-intensity conflicts in the surrounding region, or as nationalist conflicts. In contrast to this traditional view of Cold War history, historians and political scientists in the 21st century have begun to focus on various political forces and social movements, as well as individuals in local societies, who manipulated the situation as actors with interests while being at the mercy of external forces during the Cold War period.
However, from the perspective of anthropologists, who strive to understand human activities from within, through an understanding of the value norms embedded in those societies, this approach still appears to place too much emphasis on external factors in its explanation of history. On the other hand, anthropological history relies on fieldwork in specific micro-level societies and has been so focused on internal and present understandings of these societies, that it has failed to examine how oral narratives of the Cold War resonate or conflict with the historical sources created immediately after the events that historians tend to prioritize.
Now, over 30 years after the end of the Cold War, it is necessary for anthropologists with an understanding of history and historians with an understanding of anthropology to reaffirm the existing gap between them and collaboratively consider the “Cold War” as an era and idea embedded in the respective local societies. By establishing a new perspective rooted in the ecological environment of the Mekong River basin, it is possible to examine this without being constrained by existing nation-states or traditional academic regional divisions.
