CAMP- ITS EXPANSION IN VERBAL ARTS, FINE\VISUAL ARTS, PERFORMANCE ARTS AND ITS POSSIBLE LINKAGE WITH SCHOOL TRANING PROGRAMS IN VIETNAM

The idea about camp is still an unfamiliarity in the country of Vietnam while it is likely a large part of the daily and academic life in the western society. Camp can be found in many arts forms like literature, architecture, paintings, sculptures, music and fashion from the history up to the present days. However, it seems that the presence of camp was not widely recognized until the release of Sontag’s essay in 1964. Therefore, it has led to the rationale to make an insight into it on the scales of the above fields. From the analysis it can be summarized that camp exists in arts with three specific ways of influence. Firstly, it evokes extreme emotions among audiences while examining the arts works. Besides, camp is both evident and visible in gaudiness of the products in those target fields. Moreover, under the influence of camp all what is traditional is subverted to set a new norm welcome by the contemporaneity. Apart from this, a link between camp and liberal education is speculated urging a mobilization of camp in Vietnam schools for this country is on its way to reach liberal education. For it to be done, it requires the innitiatives from teaching staffs in terms of methodology and from learners in terms of learning attitudes. It can be concluded that the spirit of camp should be encouraged in Vietnam education even before liberal education is activated.
