ACCOUNTS OF VIETNAMESENESS: MAPPING VIETNAMESE BUDDHISM(S) IN MONTREALImmer, Elsa January 2023 (has links)
This thesis is a study of religion in movement through retellings of stories from members of the Vietnamese-Canadian immigrant community in Montreal, Québec. It aims to demonstrate that religion, specifically Buddhism, plays an important role in processes of homemaking. The thesis maps Vietnamese Buddhism as a complex system of shifting beliefs and practices, highly contingent on its encounters with different environments and people. It aims to show that the tradition is strongly anchored in members of the community’s everyday life given that it is tightly intertwined with cultural ways to interact, eat, care, and treat their family members, alive and dead.
This thesis, following North American Religions scholars, aims to challenge the assumption that the modern world, due to its post-Enlightenment disenchantment with the superstitious in the move toward the rational and scientific, has been “secularized,” that is, emptied of religion, which has declined and become privatized. It argues that religion still has much to do with the way everyday life is lived. The research thus takes up a “lived religion” approach to enquire into the ordinary religious subject’s everyday practices in new, often non- religious, and profane spaces, rather than the explicit and exclusive religious life of the unambiguously religious individual. It aims to demonstrate that studying religion constitutes a generative avenue to understanding societies today. / Thesis / Master of Arts (MA) / This thesis is interested in constructions of religion and of religious identity in the diaspora, specifically the making of Vietnamese Buddhism in Montreal, Québec. It both attempts to understand Vietnamese Buddhism in Montreal as constructed by those who experience it, and religion’s role in the creation of a Canadian and Vietnamese identity. How is Vietnamese Buddhism lived in Montreal? In what ways does Buddhism shape Vietnamese-Canadians’ interactions? How might Buddhism play into marking them as different?

A study of cultural conflict as experienced by adolescents of Vietnamese origin in Montreal secondary schoolsDinh, Bich Thi. January 1996 (has links)
This study is an inquiry into cultural conflict experienced by adolescents of Vietnamese origin in Montreal. It examines the nature of the conflicts as they are experienced by the adolescents themselves, as they are perceived by the parents, and by the teachers, counsellors and principals at the secondary schools they attended. The study also examines the course of the conflicts and the kinds of solutions used to resolve them. Separate semi-structured interviews were conducted with six adolescents, five parents and seven school personnel in two public schools attended by the students. Analysis of the interviews showed that students, parents and school personnel tended to define the problems in different ways and to have very different perceptions of their causes. In those families in which the problems of cultural conflict manifested themselves most severely, parents and children tended to use behaviours leading to a deterioration of relations between them and employed a very limited range of alternatives for conflict resolution.

Embodied humanitarianism : refugee sponsorship and support from Vietnam to VancouverWebber, Graham 11 1900 (has links)
There is a tendency in Vancouver, British Columbia (BC), to racialize and criminalize
recently-arrived minorities. This acts as a barrier to successful integration between
newcomers and host groups. The difficulties inherent in these processes have been
exacerbated for Vietnamese settlers through the prominence they gained in the media and
public discourse during the Allied War in Vietnam, Operation Babylift and the Private
Sponsorship Programme. Through interviews and discourse analysis, I have come to
believe that the framing of Vietnamese 'refugee' bodies has provided an extraordinary
venue for Canada to produce, naturalize and reify the settler nation as humanitarian,
compassionate, enlightened, unified and permanent - as more than we truly are - in a
collective forgetting of the less press-worthy of our flaws. This discursive strategy
intersects and overdetermines the hi/multicultural settler state while also threatening to
undermine it. Thus, to a certain extent, Vietnamese (and other) refugee bodies resignify
from receptive, when/where the public is in favour of refugee sponsorship, to criminal,
when/where they are not. This discursive 'risky refugee' rides the contradictions of
liberal humanitarianism, marginalizing the formerly welcomed and undermining the
political will to support the refugee process.
There are strong interests in the Lower Mainland of BC who work tirelessly to
sponsor and support refugees, despite this fickle nature of self-serving public opinion,
pressuring the government to live up to its myth. Meanwhile, Vietnamese people in
Vancouver, in general, have struggled and fought to rid themselves of the myths created
through pejorative racialization and criminalization. My position in this thesis is that we
need to relax this space of very constricted possibilities for negotiations around identity
and space, acknowledging refugees as more than just under-educated, potentiallydiseased
and probably-criminal Others. Suggestions, in the final chapter, come directly
from interview material, as all study participants have had at least 20 years of refugee
support and advocacy. The more general conclusion, from theoretical, operational and
epistemological perspectives, is that we should work through all our diverse
vulnerabilities to re-imagine a multiculturalism more expansive than inclusive. I hope
my thesis will challenge the shaky short-term humanitarianism of the liberal state,
encouraging a more stable and genuine commitment to refugee support / Arts, Faculty of / Geography, Department of / Graduate
