Gendered Representations in Vietnamese Travel Stories (Du Ký)
Cindy Nguyen History Ph.D. Student, Michigan State University
“Hà Nội – Vientiane in Two Hours” by Vũ Nhật
“Ever since there existed a route from Hanoi to Vientiane, I held in my heart the dream to experience “departing through the clouds returning by wind” in my lifetime. Every so often I go to the airfield, see the huge engines of the Dewoitine, peer in to see its fancy passenger seats, and my desire grows ever stronger.”Tạp chí Tri tân, no. 77-78, December 1942
MECHANIZED MOVEMENT
“…The effects of space on behavior and use of space are mediated by place.” Àngels Pascual-de-Sans, “Sense of Place and Migration Histories Idiotopy and Idiotope”
Come and understand the “beautiful
civilization of the thriving Cao-mien of
the olden days” embedded within the “tall mountains, wide
rivers, beautiful scenery, and old
temples…”
“Going to any location, means to learn about the customs, nature, rivers and roads, and
also brings one to emotionally encounter both history and art.”
Phủ Nữ Tân Vân 9 January 1930
