This dissertation examines the social construction of a concept of intellectual property (IP) among Vietnamese engineers working for multinational corporations in and around Ho&grave; Chi Minh City, Vie&dotbelow;&circ;t Nam. It argues that IP is reproduced as a social practice in this field by participants ambivalent about law, who nevertheless negotiate the construction of objects of exchange including trade secrets, patents, copyrights, and trademarks. Foreign, expatriate managers and teachers of these engineers bring with them a naturalized narrative of the social relations immanent in IP that elides its legal origins, but express incomprehension when social behavior ignores law. In the workplace and the classroom, practice differences characterized as cultural give social structure to IP---and to the legality that protects and defines it---as products of global distinction that represent a future to aspire to. In interviews, the engineers in these sites adopt and intervene in such discourses of time, space, objects and legality in ways that position themselves strategically among the intersecting global and local fields of their practice.

520 $a This dissertation examines the social construction of a concept of intellectual property (IP) among Vietnamese engineers working for multinational corporations in and around Ho&grave; Chi Minh City, Vie&dotbelow;&circ;t Nam. It argues that IP is reproduced as a social practice in this field by participants ambivalent about law, who nevertheless negotiate the construction of objects of exchange including trade secrets, patents, copyrights, and trademarks. Foreign, expatriate managers and teachers of these engineers bring with them a naturalized narrative of the social relations immanent in IP that elides its legal origins, but express incomprehension when social behavior ignores law. In the workplace and the classroom, practice differences characterized as cultural give social structure to IP---and to the legality that protects and defines it---as products of global distinction that represent a future to aspire to. In interviews, the engineers in these sites adopt and intervene in such discourses of time, space, objects and legality in ways that position themselves strategically among the intersecting global and local fields of their practice.
520 $a This study is based on more than a year of field research in Ho&grave; Chi Minh City from 2012 to 2014, including ethnographic observation at multiple sites, semi-structured interviews with 36 Vietnamese engineers, and numerous further interviews with expatriate managers, business owners, investors and lawyers. It finds, first, that the construction of legality for intellectual property in this field is mediated by distinctions in practice between foreigners and local Vietnamese, framed as cultural particularly by those Vietnamese who have lived abroad. Second, it finds that IP is generally understood among engineers working for or seeking to work for multinationals, and it is integrated in practices of accounting, assuring business protection, attributing work, and authorizing work. Third, it finds that these engineers talk about IP in various terms both of triviality and of fairness, and about law in ways similarly various including avoidance as well as mobilization. The findings suggest new ways to conceptualize individuals' participation in the construction of legality, or legal consciousness, and new ways to conceptualize what legality means for intangible property like IP.
