SUMMARY:Photo Exhibition “Cambodia: War and Beauty”
DESCRIPTION:Cambodia is often depicted in the public imagination as either the land of Angkor and Apsaras or the Killing Fields and the Khmer Rouge. An American writer once referred to the countries of Southeast Asia as “the Lands of Cruelty and Charm”. However\, Cambodia is more than death and decoration. It is people who have struggled and survived war and atrocities\, displacement\, and political and social chaos\, all the while working to preserve their culture. That culture now faces the new threat of unconstrained overdevelopment. \nThis is the focus of the photo exhibition “Cambodia: War and Beauty”\, organized by SEA Junction and Ophidian\, on 3-15 October 2023 on the curved wall\, 3rd floor of the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC). This photographic retrospective\, exhibited previously in FCC Angkor by Avani and Meta House in Phnom Penh in 2020 and Paris in 2022\, presents a collection of black and white and color photos taken by David A. Feingold\, a research anthropologist and an award-winning documentary filmmaker\, over the last six decades in Cambodia. The themes of the photos include war and its impact on the land and people\, the on-going impact of landmines on the people and land of Cambodia\, the toll they take\, and the courage and skill that are needed to remove them. The exhibition also showcases the cultural survival of the Cambodian people\, including the beauty and grace of young dancers and their rigorous training; exclusive images inside the Site 2 refugee camp in the mid-1980s; and young dancers training at the National School of Ballet in Phnom Penh in the 1990s. Through these images\, viewers can understand how Khmer dance became an essential ingredient in the survival of Khmer culture and a form of struggle against the repression of political regimes. Additionally\, the exhibition covers the return of H.M. King Sihanouk to be King of Cambodia in the 1990s\, which witnessed the slow transition from war to peace overseen by the UN and the tensions of secular politics. \nWhile fostering a better understanding and appreciation of Cambodia’s history\, culture\, and society\, the exhibition aims to showcase the contradictory and complementary elements of Cambodian culture in a historical context. \n \nFor more information/reservation\, please contact us at info@seajunction.org or +66970024140 \nPhotographer: \nDavid A. Feingold is a research anthropologist and an award-winning documentary filmmaker. He is currently director of the Ophidian Research Institute/Ophidian Films Ltd.

SUMMARY:Call for Papers: Canadian Council on Southeast Asian Studies (CCSEAS) 2023
DESCRIPTION:Southeast Asia is a fertile area in which to examine the question of how societies express their resilience\, this particularly in this post-pandemic context combining with worldwide economic restructuration. The notion of resilience itself invites critical inquiries from many disciplinary perspectives. How is resilience activated in Southeast Asian societies and cultures? How do historical legacies such as colonialism\, communist revolutions\, nationalist wars\, and authoritarian regimes affect resilience\, in the past as much as in the contemporary world? How do social forces such as ethnic groups and religious communities resist the exertion of power or reinforce agency in a resilient way? How does the will to survive and thrive compel people to act? What are the channels or practices by which various forms of resilience are manifest? How is resilience understood\, conceptualized\, and represented in different fields of social inquiry\, including the social sciences\, humanities\, and performing arts? Whether one is interested in transnational flows\, religious movements\, symbols\, discourse\, or gender relations\, resilience is an important element that supports and inspires social life in Southeast Asia and beyond. \nThe 2023 conference of the Canadian Council for Southeast Asian Studies\, to be held in Québec City\, invites papers and panels on the theme of resilience in all its manifestations. We especially encourage proposals that address the question from interdisciplinary and comparative perspectives. But as always\, the conference’s scientific committee is also happy to receive proposals for panels on a variety of topics. \nFor more information: ccseas@yorku.ca \nYou may also contact the organizers of the conference: \nJean Michaud\, Université Laval: jean.michaud@ant.ulaval.ca \nJean-François Bissonnette\, Université Laval: jean-francois.bissonnette@ggr.ulaval.ca \nPlease read detail information submit proposal here \n
