FAMILY CULTURE AS A VALUE FOR CONSTRUCTING THE ORIENTAL IDENTITY* (THE CASE OF TIENG DAN NEWSPAPER (1927-1943) BY HUYNH THUC KHANG)
Main Article Content
Abstract
The process of acculturation with Western cultures might have an impact on Vietnamese intellectuals from the early twentieth century, which enabled them to make wise choices so that they, once again, reaffirmed their beliefs on their national values. Moving in completely the same circle with Oriental cultures, Vietnam undoubtedly shared with them a myriad of common customs and beliefs, in particular family values originally based on Confucianism. Additionally, many activists in Vietnam, somehow, in the interaction with Western cultures, decided to preserve and promote the family values, which are considered as the foundation in constructing Vietnamese identity in comparison with Oriental norms and values. ‘Tieng Dan’ newspaper, whose editor was Huynh Thuc Khang, is a typical example for that trend.
