Independent Journal of Burmese Scholarship: Mission Statement
▽
"The Independent Journal of Burmese Scholarship — လှတျလပျသော မွနျမာ့ သုတသေန ဂြာနယျ — is a new, open access, digital journal of humanities (history and literary criticism) and social sciences. It aims at fostering the development of vigorous, critical, and independent research of the highest quality on Burma by scholars both in Burma and abroad. The Journal will be published in Burmese, with full text or summary translations in a second language (i.e., one of the major languages of world scholarship or one of the non-Burman written languages of Burma).
The editors hope to promote scholarly excellence by a system of peer review, editorial advice, and by supplying authors with digital copies of related research not easily otherwise available to them. We envision publishing bi-annually, often on particular themes selected by the editors and announced in advance.
We encourage submissions by young scholars and aspiring amateurs as well as established academics. All authors? work will be held in the strictest confidence by the editors and their identities will be protected under a pen name if they so wish. We hope that the Independent Journal of Burmese Scholarship will help both create and display the fruits of a growing, independent, and assertive scholarly community."....August 2016

News of the death of meteorologist U Tun Lwin spread like wildfire on social media on Monday even though he was just an unassuming man who, during a nearly 45-year career, provided the most accurate and timely weather forecasts in the country.
Description:
"Everybody in the country loved him for that. He even has his own page on Wikipedia, the online encyclopaedia.
“Sayar U Tun Lwin was a professional and good-hearted weather expert. He contributed a lot to the country with his knowledge and spirit of goodwill,” said cartoonist Aw Pi Kyal.
“All of his time was spent helping others. His Facebook chatbox was always green, even in the wee hours of the morning,” he added. “While some people may have cursed when his weather forecasts were wrong, he never failed to do his job with the best intentions,” he added.
U Tun Lwin had been and out of Grand Hantha Hospital in recent months for treatment of chronic diabetes.
His family announced he passed away at the age of 72 late Monday. His funeral will be today at 5pm at Yayway Cemetery in Yangon.
“He was an ideal man for the country and environmentalists. He knew his profession from A to Z, and was able to explain a difficult subject in easy-to-understand language, which made him a very valuable person. He did his best for his country,” said environmentalist Daw Dewi Thant Zin..."

Description:
"A bibliography is never complete. No matter how conscientious the compiler there
will always be
gaps and scope for
additions
, particularly
to select bibliographies
. In this
regard
, Burma (
renamed in the 2008
constitution
as
the
Republic of the Union of Myanmar) is certainly no exception.
Indeed, several developments over the past three years
argue
strongly
for the
preparation
of an updated checklist of the English language literature on Burma.
1
Since the first edition of this work was released in July 2012, there has been an increased flow of new, revised and
reprinted publications about Burma. A survey of publishers? catalogues and booksellers? websites suggests that this
trend is set to continue for some time. This activ
ity reflects a high level of interest in the country, not only in official
and academic circles, but also among the wider public. This interest is likely to be maintained in 2015, when Burma?s
hybrid civilian
-military government is due to hold national ele
ctions and, in early 2016, to choose a new president.
The outcome of these competitions will be critical to the future of President Thein Sein?s ambitious reform program,
launched in 2011, and to Burma?s relations with the wider world.
As this edition of
the bibliography helps to demonstrate, most of the public (and scholarly) interest in Burma over the
past few years has been related to the country?s politics and economy, accounting for the large number of new
works in those categories. This has included
several important edited works, with chapters provided by a range of
noted Burma watchers, covering such issues as the continuing political role of the armed forces, unresolved tensions
with the ethnic minorities, the obstacles to further economic develop
ment and the growth of civil society. Also, the
increased number of postgraduates working on Burma in Western and other countries has led to specialised studies
on areas and issues that, until now, had rarely been subject to close examination..."

Description:
"... These days, Burma?s transition from tyranny to democracy is partly stymied by the opposition?s attempt to institutionalize the memory of our past political divisions. Instead of putting forward a vision for the future and policies to make that vision a reality, the opposition leadership tends to employ a "good-versus-evil" political narrative as a key frame of reference in mobilizing the public. The opposition, of course, can gain a significant advantage by using this polarizing ploy. The public?s distrust and hatred of the previous junta still poisons its opinion of the current pseudo-civilian government. However, using history as a campaign instrument has only encouraged dark forces within the establishment to defend themselves using "biology" in campaigns advocating racial and religious purity. These have ranged from an attempt to prohibit interfaith marriage, to rampant anti-Muslim hate speeches, to outright communal violence. The country is gradually sliding into a history-versus-biology political battle as it approaches the 2015 elections. What we really need is a truly democratic contest of vision and policy. The country lacks a sense of unity. True reconciliation and healing remain elusive in this fragile transition.
Mandela was right. When invoking memory becomes a political strategy, society suffers from a lack of imagination. Without a new vision for the future, we cannot move on and be reborn..."

Description:
"There was a time when the small community of professional Burma-watchers in the West could claim with some confidence that they were conversant with most, if not all, the academic and non-scholarly literature about the country. That situation has changed and it is now very difficult, if not impossible, to keep fully abreast of the outpouring of publications devoted to Burma (or Myanmar, as it is now called).
There are a number of reasons for this.
After the Second World War, Burma was largely forgotten by the West. Except for events like Burma?s independence from Britain in 1948 and Ne Win?s military coup in 1962, it was rarely reported in the popular press. It featured in a few Hollywood movies, but they tended to hark back to the war. Even when the threat of communist ?subversion? in Southeast Asia began to attract global attention, Burma?s problems were not considered as important as those of states like Vietnam. It was not until the 1980s that the work of pioneering journalists like Bertil Lintner, writing in the old Far Eastern Economic Review, encouraged observers to look more closely at the country..."
