Call for Papers: for a symposium entitled ‘The Emergence of Theravada Buddhism in Cambodia: Southeast Asian Perspectives on July 3 2015.

DEADLINE: 15 March 2015.

Mainland Southeast Asia underwent major civilizational transitions when the Hindu-Mahayana Buddhist Angkorian Empire met its end over the 13th-15th centuries and Theravada Buddhism emerged in its wake. While Angkor remained a reference for the new states that developed across the mainland, Theravada Buddhism structured the cultural, social and political forms which continue to define the region. Given the importance of these changes, astonishingly little is understood about how it actually happened, notably in the Angkorian heartland itself. By supporting interdisciplinary exchange on the Theravadin material heritage across the Southeast Asian region (including Sri Lanka) during this transitional period, the symposium aims to begin to redress this gap in our regional understandings.

Conference

Colloque International : Images du Cambodge : mythe, histoire et mémoire

10 -11 avril 2015 | Archives nationales

Auditorium | 59 rue Guynemer, 93380 Pierrefitte-sur-Seine | Métro Saint-Denis Université (ligne 13)

Au moment de la commémoration des quarante ans du génocide cambodgien, le 17 avril 2015, il est nécessaire de témoigner, par des manifestations culturelles et scientifiques, de la survivance et de la créativité d’un pays qui a connu l'élimination de masse et la destruction d'une communauté artistique. Entre 1975 et 1979, 90% des artistes et des intellectuels ont été persécutés et assassinés par le régime des Khmers rouges, laissant une société dévastée. La reconstruction politique, économique et culturelle du Cambodge est difficile ; dans ce contexte dramatique, les artistes ont joué un rôle essentiel, en particulier par un travail de transmission des arts traditionnels à la nouvelle génération. Mais les jeunes artistes cambodgiens sont en quête de renouvellement ; en questionnant le passé, ils cherchent aujourd'hui à comprendre la complexité de notre époque et à relever les défis de la mondialisation.

Colloquium with Supeena Insee Adler and Christopher Adler

 Topic: “The Cremation of King Norodom Sihanouk (Cambodia)”

Date: Wednesday, March 11, 2015 (12:00 PM - 1:30 PM)

Venue: 10383 Bunche Hall UCLA Campus Los Angeles, CA 90095 Free and open to the public

In February 2014, King Norodom Sihanouk of Cambodia was cremated in an elaborate and spectacular week-long ceremony in Phnom Penh. Cambodian scholars reconstructed royal cremation rituals from archival evidence and adapted these to a modern, urban, multi-media context for consumption by common Cambodians and international dignitaries. Supeena Insee Adler, Christopher Adler, and ethnomusicologist Deborah Wong visited Phnom Penh to witness and document the events at the ground level.
