About: Southeast Asian Massif

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The term Southeast Asian Massif was proposed in 1997 by anthropologist Jean Michaud to discuss the human societies inhabiting the lands above approximately 300 metres (1,000 ft) in the southeastern portion of the Asian landmass, thus not merely in the uplands of conventional Mainland Southeast Asia. It concerns highlands overlapping parts of 10 countries: southwest China, Northeast India, eastern Bangladesh, and all the highlands of Myanmar (Burma), Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Peninsular Malaysia, and Taiwan. The indigenous population encompassed within these limits numbers approximately 100 million, not counting migrants from surrounding lowland majority groups who came to settle in the highlands over the last few centuries.

  • The term Southeast Asian Massif was proposed in 1997 by anthropologist Jean Michaud to discuss the human societies inhabiting the lands above approximately 300 metres (1,000 ft) in the southeastern portion of the Asian landmass, thus not merely in the uplands of conventional Mainland Southeast Asia. It concerns highlands overlapping parts of 10 countries: southwest China, Northeast India, eastern Bangladesh, and all the highlands of Myanmar (Burma), Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Peninsular Malaysia, and Taiwan. The indigenous population encompassed within these limits numbers approximately 100 million, not counting migrants from surrounding lowland majority groups who came to settle in the highlands over the last few centuries. The notion of the Southeast Asian Massif overlaps geographically with the eastern segment of Van Schendel's notion of Zomia proposed in 2002, while it overlaps geographically with what political scientist James C. Scott called Zomia in 2009. While the notion of Zomia underscores a historical and political understanding of that high region, the Southeast Asia Massif is more appropriately labelled a place or a social space. (en)
  • 東南亞地塊（英語：Southeast Asian Massif）是人類學家Jean Michaud於1997年提出的地理區域概念。該概念旨在討論居住在亞洲大陸東南部大約300米以上的土地上人類社會的問題，因此不僅限於傳統的東南亞山地地區。它涉及10個國家或地區：中國西南部、印度東北部、孟加拉國東部、緬甸、泰國、越南、老撾、柬埔寨、馬來半島和台灣的高山地帶。在這些限制範圍內的人口約為1億，這還不包括過去幾個世紀來在這片高地周圍定居的其他居民。 東南亞地塊的概念在地理上與2002年Van Schendel提出的佐米域（Zomia；源於生活於缅印交界的佐（米）族）的東部部分重疊。相對於佐米域強調對該地區歷史和政治詮釋，東南亞地塊更多地被視為地區和社會空間。 (zh)
