  • Recovering Life After Social Death in Post-Genocide Cambodia
    - The UNESCO Slave Route Project: Healing the Wounds of Slavery - Life After/Ward: Recovering Life After Social Death in Post-Genocide Cambodia Khatharya Um That which wounds me has no name- Rithy Panh1 1 Rithy Panh and Christophe Bataille, The Elimination (New York: Other Press, 2013), 4 - Life After/Ward: Recovering Life After Social Death in Post-Genocide Cambodia - Introduction When asked if he ever dreams of his tortured victims, Kaing Guek Eav, better known by his nom de guerre “Duch,” who oversaw the Tuol Sleng S-21 extermination center where at least 12,000 people were tortured and killed, said unequivocally: “No. Never.”2 The survivors of the genocidal regime of which he was a leading figure, however, are not afforded that luxury. Over four decades in the aftermath, in Cambodia and in the diaspora, genocidal haunting continues to torment not only the survivors but also the postgenocide generations. In commemoration of the 45th anniversary of the Khmer Rouge genocide during which almost a quarter of the country’s population perished in less than four years, this paper reflects on the afterlife of genocide. It illuminates the ways in which genocidal haunting continues to unfold in the postgenocide everyday, and the struggles of Cambodians to make meaning of, and work through, this historical trauma. Attentive to the gaps and tensions between state rhetoric and survivors’ agency, it interrogates the possibilities and limits of international tribunals in delivering justice, reconciliation and, above all, healing in the genocide aftermath, and reflects on acts of repair, big and small, public and private, that individuals and communities have undertaken to transcend, if not heal, this collective wounding.

  • Stephanie Cong an Examination of Forced Marriages and Their Impact Under the Khmer Rouge SEA10A 2016 Prof. Penelope Edwards & GSI Uyen 12/16/2016
    Stephanie Cong An Examination of Forced Marriages and their Impact Under the Khmer Rouge SEA10A 2016 Prof. Penelope Edwards & GSI Uyen 12/16/2016 I. Introduction In 1975, the Khmer Rouge, also known as the Communist Party of Kampuchea, seized power in Cambodia.1 The Khmer Rouge attempted to transform Cambodia into a classless society — they abolished basic institutions from schools to churches, and replaced these with farms, prisons, and education camps.2 Civilians were forced to move from their homes to participate in agricultural work, and many died during this process.3 The Khmer Rouge also removed concepts such as money and free markets, and furthermore, discouraged the display of affection, humor, or pity, even through familial relations — the party wanted full obedience and respect towards Angkar, a name the party used to refer to itself.4 Because of this, the Khmer Rouge put forced marriage into practice, and also used this as a method to grow the population, their potential workforce.5 Nearly a quarter of Cambodian citizens were forced into marriages under Khmer Rouge, and these marriages had many adverse effects on civilians.6 Through this paper, I will show that forced marriages led to abnormal and abusive dynamics between husband and wife, forced pregnancy and rape, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and shame or the inability to remarry. These effects of forced marriages have lasted long beyond the regime of the Khmer Rouge, and these actions are now being tried as crimes against humanity.7 In order to show these adverse effects of forced marriages within the Khmer Rouge regime, the paper will be broken down into seven sections.

    Bangsokol: A Requiem for Cambodia premieres in the US 40 years since the Cambodian genocide Powerful new work by Rithy PANH and HIM Sophy, featuring music, visuals, and movement, on stage in New York and Boston in December 2017 “…a reassuring light after utter darkness, a promise of resurgence…a moving, cogent experience…” – The Sydney Morning Herald FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PHNOM PENH, 16 NOVEMBER 2017 – Oscar-nominated director Rithy PANH (The Missing Picture) and internationally acclaimed composer HIM Sophy, both survivors of the Khmer Rouge, join forces to create Bangsokol: A Requiem for Cambodia. An extraordinary new piece featuring music, film, movement, and voice, it pays tribute to the two million killed in the nation’s genocide (1975-1979). “Bangsokol is a vital act of memory,” says PANH. “It is an attempt to give dignity to the dead; to reconcile with our own past; to give a face and a name to the victims, to give their souls peace.” This requiem, unprecedented in form and composition, features ceremonial elements from bangsokol - Buddhist funeral rites performed to give rest to the spirits of the dead, as well as traditional Cambodian music and Western classical forms.

  • A Requiem for Cambodia to Premiere
    Bangsokol: A Requiem for Cambodia to premiere nearly 40 years after the Cambodian genocide Powerful new work by Rithy PANH and HIM Sophy, featuring music, visuals, and movement, debuts at the Melbourne Festival on 13 October 2017 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PHNOM PENH, 24 2017 – Oscar-nominated director Rithy PANH (The Missing Picture) and acclaimed composer HIM Sophy – two survivors of the Khmer Rouge – join forces to create Bangsokol: A Requiem for Cambodia. An extraordinary new piece featuring music, film, movement, and voice, it pays tribute to the two million killed in the nation’s genocide (1975-1979). “Bangsokol is a vital act of memory,” says PANH. “It is an attempt to give dignity to the dead; to reconcile with our own past; to give a face and a name to the victims, to give their souls peace.” This new requiem, unprecedented in form and composition, features ceremonial elements from bangsokol, Buddhist funeral rites performed to give rest to the spirits of the dead, as well as traditional Cambodian music and Western classical forms. The world premiere of Bangsokol will be presented at the Melbourne Festival on October 13 and 14, 2017 before being seen in New York and Boston in December, and in Europe and Asia in 2018. The 65-minute piece, commissioned by non-profit organization Cambodian Living Arts (CLA), with co-commissioner Asia TOPA / Arts Centre Melbourne, will return to Phnom Penh in 2019 – 40 years since the fall of the Khmer Rouge. The narrative of Bangsokol begins in the heavens and moves to a countryside funeral. It extends into remembrance of the horrors of the Khmer Rouge period, and culminates with the central Buddhist rite for the deceased, bringing peace and the acceptance of impermanence.

  • The Perpetrator's Mise-En-Scène: Language, Body, and Memory in the Cambodian Genocide
    JPR The Perpetrator’s mise-en-scène: Language, Body, and Memory in the Cambodian Genocide Vicente Sánchez-Biosca Abstract: Rithy Panh’s film S-21. The Khmer Rouge Killing Machine (2003) was the result of a three- year shooting period in the Khmer Rouge centre of torture where perpetrators and victims exchanged experiences and re-enacted scenes from the past under the gaze of the filmmaker’s camera. Yet, a crucial testimony was missing in that puzzle: the voice of the prison’s director, Kaing Guek Eav, comrade Duch. When the Extraor- dinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) were finally established in Phnom Penh to judge the master criminals of Democratic Kampuchea, the first to be indicted was this desk criminal. The filmDuch, Master of the Forges of Hell (Panh, 2011) deploys a new confrontation – an agon, in the terminology of tragedy – between a former perpetrator and a former victim, seen through cinema language. The audiovisual document registers Duch’s words and body as he develops his narrative, playing cunningly with contrition and deceit. The construction of this narrative and its deconstruction by Panh can be more fully understood by comparing some film scenes with other footage shot before, during and after the hearings. In sum, this ‘chamber film’ permits us to analyse two voices: that of the perpetrator, including his narrative and body language; and the invisible voice of the survivor that expresses itself through editing, sound effects, and montage. Keywords: Perpetrator, audiovisual testimony, body language, cinema, Khmer Rouge, Cambodia Gémir, pleurer, prier est également lâche. Fais énergiquement ta longue et lourde tâche Dans la voie où le Sort a voulu t’appeler.

  • Witness and Recuperation: Cambodia's New Documentary Cinema
    Concentric: Literary and Cultural Studies 39.1 March 2013: 7-30 Witness and Recuperation: Cambodia’s New Documentary Cinema Annette Hamilton School of Arts and Media University of New South Wales, Australia Abstract The documentary cinema of Rithy Panh has played a significant role in the effort to overcome the traumatic heritage of the Khmer Rouge era in Cambodia (1975-79). His cinema of witness advances claims for the restoration of memory as an ethical imperative, and his films have provided encouragement for the claims of justice for survivors. Witness and re- enactment are central to his mode of address. A new movement has emerged in recent years from a younger generation whose work continues to explore the value of documentary in challenging the prevailing cultural amnesia and seeks to recuperate the connection between the present and the past. This paper discusses the work of some of the emerging documentary makers, highlighting their distinctive voices and visions, their debt to the style and framework of Rithy Panh’s cinema, as well as new perspectives which seek to build on the past through the exploration of the value of the artists and intellectuals who preceded them. Keywords documentary, Cambodia, witness, cultural amnesia, memory, trauma, Genocide Studies 8 Concentric 39.1 March 2013 We have art so we are not defeated by the truth. —Friedrich Nietzsche Kritische Studienausgabe Cambodia’s struggle to overcome the traumatic heritage of the Khmer Rouge era (1975-79) has been waged on many fronts.

    Gender and the Nation in Popular Cambodian Heritage Cinema A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN ASIAN STUDIES MAY 2014 by: Jessica Austin Thesis Committee: Miriam Sharma, Chairperson Barbara Watson-Andaya Jonathan Padwe Jonna Eagle Keywords: Cambodia, Cinema, Gender, Nation, Popular Culture, Sihanouk ii Dedicated to: My families, both near and far. iii Acknowledgements In researching this project for two years, I have been incredibly fortunate to receive the help, guidance, and friendship of a vast network of people living and working in Cambodia, Hawai'i, and the United States. None of this would have been possible without the support of the Center for Southeast Asian Studies at the University of Hawai'i-Manoa, and generous grants from the Moscotti Foundation. I am also indebted to Severine Wemaerae, Gilles Duval, Rithy Panh, and Davy Chou for allowing me to naively interrupt many proceedings of the Memory! International Film Heritage Festival 1st Edition so that I could dive head first into the world of film archives, preservation, and filmmaking in Cambodia. The employees of the Bophana Audio-Visual Archive in Phnom Penh were extremely patient with me while I watched films and asked them incessant questions about film heritage, for which I am so very grateful. The youth organizations I worked with, Kon Khmer Koun Khmer and Preah Soriya student group at RUPP, were extremely generous with their time, and I extend my gratitude to all of the members of those groups.
