Duy Tan Dream
Attendees included Professor Phong Le, Former Director of the Institute of Literature at the National Center of Social Sciences (The Vietnam Institute of Social Sciences), researcher Lai Nguyen An, professors, doctors from the Social Science Institutes of Hue University, Danang University, writers from Quang Nam Province and faculty members of the DTU Department of Humanities and Social Sciences.
According to Prof. Phong Le, our country maintained its traditional values throughout long periods of aggression. So research on regional literature should be based on those Vietnamese characteristics, which are a combination of many different integral factors.
“We are here today to discover the special features of Quang Nam’s literature. However, in finding them we will recognize countrywide Vietnamese characteristics”, said Prof. Phong Le.
The steps and methods of conducting the research and the criteria for judging the best writers were also brought up at the conference. Most agreed that such criteria should be agreed on and approved to expedite the completion of the projects by the Board.
Dr. Phan Ngoc Thu thanked the attendees for their feedback and contributions to the conference. “We appreciate your ideas and we hope to have further discussions during the completion of this project”, said Dr. Thu.
The conference was organized as part of a campaign to do research at the provincial level, as assigned by the Quang Nam People’s Committee to DTU.
