Résumé en français : La crise économique mondiale qui commence aux États-Unis au mois d’octobre 1929 a eu des conséquences importantes en Europe et au-delà en Indochine française, notamment au Cambodge. Cette étude porte sur l’impact de cette crise sur les paysans cambodgiens en prenant la province de Kompong Thom comme exemple pour comprendre l’ensemble du Cambodge. Notre étude porte sur deux problèmes principaux qui ont particulièrement frappé les paysans à cette époque : premièrement les conséquences économiques puis les conséquences sociales.

T16P10 - Out of Sight, Out of Mind? Revisiting Health and Environmental Public Policies at (and for) the Margins in Southeast Asia,

Abstract : The purpose of this panel is to explore, through a multidisciplinary approach, the construction, translation and local negotiation of public environmental and health policies at (and for) the margins in Southeast Asia. The intensification of economic activity and the opening of new areas of trade raise new questions for rapidly changing societies. In this sense, the margins may be understood as laboratories, i.e. spaces, places and contexts, where new ways of doing things and new relations between people are being invented and tested. This includes new production processes, labour relations, land uses, etc. Such experimental areas are however also embedded in sometimes quite rigid social networks, and relations of power and authority. This panel proposes to question how public health and environmental policies take into account (or not) local stakeholders at the margins. Questions that will guide this panel include:

• how do those in charge of implementing public health and environmental policies at the margins juggle between international/national injunctions and local realities? What are their contradictions, their tensions but also their leeway to reconfigure public policies locally?
• how do local people and newcomers living at the margins cope with public health and environmental policies and their actors? What are their experiences with the legibility/illegibility process of state programs and practices?
• how does focusing at the margins raise new questions for the design and implementation of public health and environmental policies? Does it propose new forms of action that are more adapted to the peculiar context of frontiers? What mechanisms may help ensure that the outcomes of public health and environmental policies be more fair, inclusive and sustainable? What mechanisms may help ensure that the margins retain their identity as a space for opportunities and innovation?

SPAFA Journal: Call for Submissions

Presentation : SEAMEO SPAFA, Southeast Asia’s Regional Centre for Archaeology and Fine Arts, has recently set up a website to access the online open access SPAFA Journal. The SPAFA Journal focuses on Southeast Asian archaeology, performing arts, visual arts and cultural heritage. This SPAFA publication has been in publication since 1980, first as the SPAFA Digest, before being renamed the SPAFA Journal in 1991. Now, as an open access journal, publishers expect to reach a greater number of readers, as well as to carry multimedia content such as music and video clips. The journal accepts scholarly, peer-reviewed research articles pertaining to the archaeology, fine arts and cultural heritage of Southeast Asia, and shorter contributions such as photo and video essays, book and exhibition reviews, and brief reports. SEAMEO-SPAFA’s aim for the journal is to have articles and content catering to both the academic community and the general public.

The following submissions are accepted for the 2017 volume of the SPAFA Journal:

• Original research papers
• Brief reports
• Thesis abstracts
• Exhibition / performance / book reviews
• Photo and video essays

The new SPAFA Journal website will also host other publications, including the old volumes of the SPAFA Journal and SPAFA Digest, which are being digitised and should be made available in early 2017.

Call for Papers “Crossings in Southeast Asia” - Cornell Southeast Asia Program’s - 19th Annual Graduate Student Conference on March 10-12, 2017

Presentation :Crossings evoke the process of traversing and negotiating terrains, waters, temporalities, identities and paradigms. How do crossings challenge the boundaries of these concepts in the studies of Southeast Asia? In thinking about intersections of old and new ideas, what crossings have scholars attempted and what obstacles have they faced? Cornell Southeast Asia Program’s 19th Annual Southeast Asian Studies Graduate Student Conference is inviting submissions that engage these questions. The conference will be held March 10-12, 2017 at the Kahin Center for Advanced Research on Southeast Asia at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. Professor Anne Blackburn from the Department of Asian Studies at Cornell will be joining us as our keynote speaker.

We welcome submissions of abstracts by December 15, 2016 from graduate students who have completed original research related to Southeast Asia. There is no specific theme for this conference, as we hope to attract a wide range of submissions. Our intention is to reflect the dynamic research currently undertaken by graduate students. The Cornell Southeast Asia Program’s Graduate Committee will review the abstracts, select presenters, and organize panels by theme. In order to aid this process of thematic organization, we ask that you please include a few keywords summarizing your presentation along with your abstract.

Selected contributors will present their work as part of a panel, and paper abstracts will be included in the conference program. All the panels will have discussants, therefore presenters should be prepared to submit full papers of 5000-8000 words by February 15, 2017.

Procedure : All abstracts should be limited to 250 words and sent in MS Word format.  Do not send a .pdf. Please name your abstract using your first and last name together (for example, janedoe.doc for Jane Doe’s abstract). The subject of the message should specify “Abstract” and the body should include the following information:

Soutenance de Thèse de C.Schantz : "Construire le corps féminin à travers les pratiques obstétricales à Phnom Penh, Cambodge".

Date et lieu  : le vendredi 16 décembre 2016 à 10h00 dans la salle de réunion F.673 -Sorbonne, Galerie Gerson, escalier G2, 1er étage, 54 rue Saint Jacques, 75005 Paris.

Résumé de la thèse: Le Cambodge est l’un des neuf pays au monde à avoir atteint l’OMD 5 des Nations Unies, c’est-à-dire à avoir diminué de trois quarts le taux de mortalité maternelle au niveau national entre 1990 et 2015. Ce taux est ainsi passé de 1020 à 161 décès maternels pour 100 000 naissances au cours de ces 25 années. Ce succès est le résultat de politiques publiques volontaristes : une politique de planification familiale, la mise en place de systèmes de financements de la santé, la formation puis le déploiement de milliers de sages-femmes sur le territoire. Cette réussite s’explique également par une mutation sociologique de premier plan : l’accouchement, qui était historiquement un événement avant tout social et qui se déroulait dans l’intimité de la maison, est devenu un événement public pour la femme et sa famille. Alors qu’en 2000 moins de 10% des femmes accouchaient dans une structure médicalisée, elles étaient plus de 80% dans cette situation en 2014, traduisant ainsi la biomédicalisation massive et soudaine de l’accouchement dans tout le pays.

Cette recherche sociodémographique remet en question la vision idéalisée des Nations Unies concernant la santé maternelle au Cambodge en rendant visibles et en observant les pratiques obstétricales « par le bas » à partir d’une enquête empirique sur plusieurs terrains à Phnom Penh et en Kandal (milieu rural). La méthodologie développée conjugue une observation participante, à des entretiens semi-directifs auprès de soignants et de non soignants (hommes et femmes), des questionnaires auprès de femmes enceintes puis accouchées (cohorte), ainsi qu’une collecte de données médicales dans quatre maternités de Phnom Penh. Les résultats montrent que certains hôpitaux et cliniques pratiquent des épisiotomies systématiques, ce qui est contraire aux recommandations internationales, et que le taux de césariennes dans la capitale a presque triplé en quinze ans, dépassant depuis le début des années 2000 le seuil de 10% recommandé par l’OMS. Enfin, une pratique répandue de périnéorraphies visant à resserrer fortement le vagin de femmes jeunes et en bonne santé après des accouchements par voie basse, sans indication médicale, est courante dans la capitale. Ces pratiques obstétricales, historiquement construites, vont alors fréquemment être détournées de leur usage médical pour répondre à une demande sociale. Le corps des femmes a été appréhendé dans cette recherche comme un corps social et politique, révélateur des rapports sociaux, sur lequel se jouent de nombreux enjeux de pouvoirs. La thèse a révélé que ces trois pratiques obstétricales faisaient système en se renforçant les unes les autres. A l’intersection entre corps, genre et biomédecine, la recherche a montré que ces différentes pratiques obstétricales pouvaient être conçues comme des instruments de domination. Le genre, tel qu’il est pensé dans la société, va contribuer à fabriquer un sexe féminin, mais aussi à construire un corps féminin de façon plus générale. Mais la thèse a dévoilé également que certaines de ces pratiques vont être saisies par les femmes, afin d’accroître leur attractivité sexuelle, leur permettant de renégocier les rapports de genre, et de maintenir l’harmonie et la stabilité du couple.

Mots-clés : Cambodge, biomédecine, pratiques obstétricales, épisiotomie, périnéorraphie, césarienne, accouchement, sexualité, rapports de genre.
