Research Abstract |
This project investigates how the population and products flows between Myanmar and China transformed the population characteristic and social cultures in towns and villages of border area. I consider the population characteristic as ethnoscape and social transformation as a formation of border cultures. I conducted literature and field research in Ruili, a China-Myanmar border area. Following is the result of this project; (1) Since Ruili has been developing as a border trade center and people in border area can cross the national border easily, we can see an ethnoscape which transcend the nation-state borders. (2) This ethnoscape attracts those who are situated in a social border areas such as Kachin refugees, Rohingya refugees and overseas Chinese.
