	NEXT HSEPP’S CONFERENCE“Cinematic Forces of Modernity and Tradition in អនអើយស្រីអន (An Euil Srey An) 1972”ByPhally Chroy: Ph.D. candidate in Interdisciplinary Arts at Ohio University. His research covers Cambodia, cosmopolitanism, and critical theory.OnMay 19th, 2017, at 6:00pm, in the meeting room of Royal University of Fine-Arts.(Conference will be done in English language)&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Abstract:&amp;nbsp;អនអើយស្រីអន (An Euil Srey An) is a 1972 popular film from the Cambodian Golden Age of Arts directed by the Golden Age director Ly Bun Lim. During the 1990’s, អនអើយស្រីអន resurfaced in various Cambodian communities in the United States and helped imagine a particular moment of Cambodia for diasporic Cambodian refugee children. In this presentation, Phally Chroy will investigate the film’s thematics that shaped a “mythos” of Cambodia for Cambodian refugees and Cambodian-Americans to examine memory and popular culture as a force of “encapsulation” and mythmaking.This presentation contextualized critical theory and methodological approaches that analyzes memory theory, reporting how individuals construct narratives through a reading of personal history and popular culture. The presentation will be based on textual and visual analysis of “Khmerness”, instances of cultural references to Khmer notions of religion, mythology, arts, etc.., and recording their appearances in the film. The data collected was juxtaposed with current scholarship on Cambodian-American identity for analysis and critique from memory research from sociology and current publication on Cambodia-American identity.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;OTHER CONFERENCES&amp;nbsp;International Seminar, 10-12 April 2017&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;

Steering Committee:
Olivier Coutard (LATTS); Adèle Esposito (AUSSER); Joël Idt (Lab’Urba); Etienne Monin(TELEMME); Andrea Palmioli (AUSSER-HKU); Margot Pellegrino (Lab’Urba), with Antoine Brès&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;This international seminar brings together, and confronts, studies of diffuse urbanization in Europe and Asia. Its ambition is to produce theoretically informed and&amp;nbsp;theory-informing comparative empirical knowledge on how these peripheral urban areas and regions develop and transform, how they are practiced and lived, and on the use of resources (land, energy, water...) involved in these processes. Studies of the production and transformation of, and ways of life in, urban environments abound, yet these two issues are usually analyzed separately.Above all, a vast majority of these studies disregards issues of urban form and materiality broadly conceived. Conversely architects, urbanists and geographers have described or advocated variegated&amp;nbsp;land use patterns, built area layouts and building designs, but in these studies, analyses on how built environments are produced and lived generally remain either superficial, oversimplified or&amp;nbsp;normative.&amp;nbsp;The seminar is organized around 4 panels and two keynote talks:- Panel 1: Urbanity Beyond Centrality- Panel 2: “Ordinary” urban production and transformation- Panel 3: Activity systems- Panel 4: Territorial and Urban ecologies- Keynote talk 1 : Diffusing Urbanization: Deciphering the Spatial Assemblages of 21st Century Urbanization - Terry McGee- Keynote talk 2: Diffuse City and Horizontal Metropolis - Paola Vigano’Detailed presentation and program:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;

Diffuse Urbanization Perspectives from Asia and Europe - Sciencesconf.org&amp;nbsp;Lecture series ANDRÈ MALRAUX: THE LOOTER OF BANTEAY SREI WHO ROSE TO HIGH POLITICAL OFFICE.In the annals of archaeology, Heinrich Schliemann, Katherine Routledge, Madeleine Colani and Howard Carter, to name a few, will be forever associated with pioneering work respectively in Troy, the Easter Island, the Plain of Jars and Egypt. Other would-be archaeologists have become household names for the wrong reasons. One of the best-known cases concerns Andrè Malraux, a young French intellectual arrested in Phnom Penh on 24 December 1923 as he attempted to smuggle out of Cambodia several tons of bas-reliefs looted from Khmer temples and destined to collectors in Europe and America. Archival data recorded by George Groslier, the director of the National Museum responsible for the arrest, reveal that the looting involved not just Banteay Srei but also another temple never mentioned in relation to this case. Malraux was tried in Indochina but did not serve a single day of his three-year sentence and was free to return to France at the end of 1924. But why was Malraux arrested in 1923, the same year that the French colonial authorities authorised the sale of Khmer artefacts, under certain conditions? What lines of defence did Malraux use against the colonial powers he accused of neglecting Cambodia’s heritage? How did Malraux morph from youthful looter to Minister for Cultural Affairs under the presidency of Charles de Gaulle in France? In my talk I will discuss the facts of the case in light of previously unknown archival data and photographic evidence.Lia Genovese holds a PhD from SOAS-University of London for a Dissertation titled ‘The Plain of Jars of North Laos - Beyond Madeleine Colani’. She lectures at Thammasat and Silpakorn Universities (Bangkok) and is a Member of the Lecture Committee at the Siam Society. Her current research interests include: the Plain of Jars of Laos; colonial archaeology; the megaliths of South and Southeast Asia; Iron Age mortuary practices; the life and work of French archaeologist Madeleine Colani; cultural heritage.

Approaches to the Study of Khmer and Cham Art: a Research Workshop with Tran Ky Phuong and Soumya James, 16/05/2017, CSEAS, SOAS.Scholarship on ancient Khmer and Cham art evolved concomitantly with the French colonial project, and has long been grounded in archaeological and epigraphic study. This workshop presents new currents of research expanding the field. Tran Ky Phuong is the leading scholar of Cham art. After a first curatorial career at the Danang Museum of Cham Sculpture, he joined the Vietnam Association of Ethnic Minorities’ Culture and Arts, where he has launched research combining ethnographic and art historical methods. Soumya James represents a new generation of Southeast Asia art historians. Her work examines the representation of the divine feminine in cultural and eco-political landscape of Angkor.Tran Ky Phuong is a former curator of the Museum of Cham Sculpture in Da Nang (1978-98); currently he is a senior research fellow with the Vietnam Association of Ethnic Minorities’ Culture and Arts; and is a researcher of the Center for Cultural Relationship Studies in Mainland Southeast Asia (CRMA Center) of Chulachomklao Royal Military Academic, Thailand and at APSARA Authority, Siem Reap, Cambodia; from 2012 until the present he has been a consultant of UNESCO World Cultural Heritages at My Son Sanctuary. He has awarded several research fellowships to study at International Institute for Asian Studies (IIAS), Leiden; Asia Research Institute (ARI) of National University of Singapore; Center for Advanced Studies in the Visual Arts (CASVA), National Gallery of Arts, Washington DC.He has published several books and articles in Vietnamese, English and Japanese, including: My Son in the History of Cham Art (1988); Vestiges of Champa Civilization (2008); Champa Iseki/Champa Ruins (co-author with Shige-eda Yutaku, 1997); The Cham of Vietnam: History, Society and Art (co-editor with Bruce Lockhart), NUS Press (2011); “The Architecture of Temple-Towers of Ancient Champa (Central Vietnam)” in Champa and the Archaeology of My Son, Vietnam (2009); “The Preservation and Management of the Monuments of Champa in Central Vietnam: The Example of My Son Sanctuary, a World Cultural Heritage Site”, in Rethinking Cultural Resource Management in Southeast Asia: Preservation, Development and Neglect (2011);“The new archaeological finds in Northeast Cambodia, Southern Laos and Central Highland of Vietnam: Considering on the significance of overland trading route and cultural interactions of the ancient kingdoms of Champa and Cambodia”, in Advancing Southeast Asian Archaeology 2013, SEAMEO SPAFA Regional Center for Archaeology and Fine Arts, Bangkok, Thailand (2015).Soumya James is an independent Art Historian who studies premodern South and Southeast Asian art. She received her PhD in Art History from Cornell University. Her dissertation focused on the cultural and eco-political significance of the divine feminine at three Angkor period sites. Her research investigates the relationship between landscape and built form, gender and sexuality, and the art historical links between premodern South and Southeast Asia. Following her graduation, she continued her research while working as the coordinator for the Science and Society Programme at the National Centre for Biological Sciences, Bangalore, India. She was a Postdoctoral Associate at the Franke Program in Science and the Humanities and a Fellow at the Whitney Humanities Center, both at Yale University. She is currently working on a book manuscript and planning her next fieldtrip to Cambodia.Voir :

These grants are designed to finance exclusively field research in Africa, Asia, Oceania, the Middle East, the Indian Ocean and the Caribbean, Latin and Amerindian Americas.&amp;nbsp;If no thematic area of research has been chosen, it is essential that the research methodology be qualitative and involve ethnographic participant observer techniques, archival processing and historiographical documentation (including collections), participation in archaeological dig sites or conducting thematic, directive interviews. These grants thus cover the initial phase of research for a thesis (first and second year of doctoral studies) and not the final writing phase (beginning in the third year).These non-renewable grants are made for a period of 12 months, from November 1 to October 31. Each is a total amount of 15,000 €, paid in two installments. They are awarded after the evaluation and selection of applications by the Committee of Rapporteurs and the Scientific Council of the Martine Aublet Foundation and validation by the Board of Directors of the Foundation. There are no conditions regarding nationality.For more information:

We welcome discussions of common research concerns about local politics in national and regional context, and of the local particularities to which the existing theories should respond. We hope scholars and researchers interrogate and analyze different political, economic, social, cultural phenomena and developments in relation to local politics, and share with the participants deeper andcomprehensive understanding of the complexities and nuances of such as these are found in the Asia-Pacific region.INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMISSION：English is the working language for the conference, and we accept only papers written in English.
