Creating conditions for ethnic minority literature to flourish
Summing up and closing the seminar, Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Khanh Thanh, Vice Chairman of the Central Council for Theory and Criticism of Literature and Art, affirmed that on the topic of the seminar "Literature of ethnic minorities in Northern Vietnam since 1975", the majority of the presentations said that ethnic minority literature is "a part of the flow of Vietnamese literature, including works by ethnic minority authors writing about their ethnic group and issues of social life".
Poet Duong Khau Luong, Chairman of the Literature and Arts Association of Bac Kan province, presented a speech.
Through the content of the presentations and opinions expressed at the Seminar, it can be seen that the issue of Vietnamese ethnic minority literature in general and the literature of ethnic minorities in Northern Vietnam since 1975 in particular has been concerned and approached from many directions, many angles, many different scopes in both literary practice and theory. The opinions expressed believe that the literature of ethnic minorities in Northern Vietnam from 1975 to present has achieved significant achievements in terms of staff and quality of ideological content and artistic value.
However, opinions say that the literature of ethnic minorities in the North still has some limitations such as: The number of authors writing in ethnic minority languages after 1975 is decreasing. The team of writers is still sparse and unevenly distributed; some young writers do not live and work in the place where they were born, so their attachment to ethnic culture is fading, not deeply reflecting the cultural identity of ethnic minorities.
Currently, there are very few ethnic minority writers who have created artistic breakthroughs. Although the literature of ethnic minorities in the North since 1975 has developed in both quantity and quality, there are no works that crystallize the beauty of the ethnic language, creating the imprint of the ethnic literary language in a skillful way; the phenomenon of bilingual writing has recently appeared but is not much; there are not many works and topics of ethnic minority literature included in the general education and university education programs.
Ethnic minority literature is still limited within the ethnic community; promotion work is still limited, ethnic minority literature has not been widely disseminated to increase acceptance; there is a lack of exchange between ethnic minority literature and Kinh literature and literature from other countries in the world.
Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen The Ky, former member of the Party Central Committee, former General Director of Voice of Vietnam, Chairman of the Central Council for Literature and Arts Theory and Criticism, spoke at the seminar.
The opinions of the discussion panel agreed that there should be orientations and necessary solutions such as: Raising awareness of the role and position of ethnic minority literature in Vietnamese literature, in preserving, promoting and developing ethnic cultural values; having policies and strategies to develop, promote and preserve ethnic minority literature today; investing in developing and distributing ethnic minority writers reasonably; focusing on discovering, nurturing and training the team, encouraging talent, especially paying attention to young writers; not allowing a situation where there are areas and ethnic minorities without literary writers.
Along with that, we should pay attention to promoting and supporting the activities of local literary and artistic associations both materially and spiritually so that the associations can regularly organize training and professional development courses to create an environment that is capable of stimulating passion and nurturing creative inspiration for writers of ethnic minorities; promoting the strong development of the team of literary theorists and critics of ethnic minorities.
Pay attention to the close connection between Literature and Arts Associations and universities in the Northern region; strengthen the role of sponsoring, managing and supporting literary activities of local literature and arts management agencies to create effective incentives and encouragement for creative activities and enjoyment of literature of ethnic minorities in the area.
In addition, it is necessary to expand literary exchanges between provinces, localities and the Central Government, international literary exchanges, including exchanges between ethnic minority literature and Kinh literature, and literature from other countries; focus on bilingual works because they are an important bridge for works to reach the general public; increase the number of authors, works, and literary topics of ethnic minorities in general education and university education programs.
At the same time, expand opportunities to develop ethnic minority literature in a multimedia context, maximize advantages, prevent negative impacts of the technological era to preserve and promote traditional cultural capital of ethnic minorities, and inspire pride in national identity, especially for young writers.
