  • Post/Colonial Discourses on the Cambodian Court Dance
    Kyoto University Southeast Asian Studies, Vol. 42, No. 4, 東南アジア研究 March 2005 42巻 4 号 Post/colonial Discourses on the Cambodian Court Dance SASAGAWA Hideo* Abstract Under the reign of King Ang Duong in the middle of nineteenth century, Cambodia was under the influence of Siamese culture. Although Cambodia was colonized by France in 1863, the royal troupe of the dance still performed Siamese repertoires. It was not until the cession of the Angkor monuments from Siam in 1907 that Angkor began to play a central role in French colonial discourse. George Groslier’s works inter alia were instrumental in historicizing the court dance as a “tradition” handed down from the Angkorean era. Groslier appealed to the colonial authorities for the protection of this “tradition” which had allegedly been on the “decline” owing to the influence of French culture. In the latter half of the 1920s the Résident Supérieur au Cambodge temporarily succeeded in transferring the royal troupe to Groslier’s control. In the 1930s members of the royal family set out to reconstruct the troupe, and the Minister of Palace named Thiounn wrote a book in which he described the court dance as Angkorean “tradition.” His book can be considered to be an attempt to appropriate colonial discourse and to construct a new narrative for the Khmers. After independence in 1953 French colonial discourse on Angkor was incorporated into Cam- bodian nationalism. While new repertoires such as Apsara Dance, modeled on the relief of the monuments, were created, the Buddhist Institute in Phnom Penh reprinted Thiounn’s book. Though the civil war was prolonged for 20 years and the Pol Pot regime rejected Cambodian cul- ture with the exception of the Angkor monuments, French colonial discourse is still alive in Cam- bodia today.

  • Arts of Asia Lecture Series Fall 2016 from Monet to Ai Weiwei: How We Got Here Sponsored by the Society for Asian Art
    Arts of Asia Lecture Series Fall 2016 From Monet to Ai Weiwei: How We Got Here Sponsored by The Society for Asian Art Artisans to Artists: Colonial and Post-Independence Art Education in Vietnam and Cambodia Prof. Nora A. Taylor, School of the Art Institute of Chicago September 30, 2016 Historical background: In the race for European domination of Asia, in 1862 the French obtained concessions from Vietnamese and Cambodia emperors to establish trade ports in Tonkin, Annam and Cochinchina, present-day Northern, Central and Southern Vietnam respectively. In 1863, they established the protectorate of Cambodia and in 1887, created the Indochina Union made up of the five territories of Tonkin, Annam, Cochinchina, Laos and Cambodia. The French exploited local resources such as rubber, cotton, tabacco, coffee and opium and also established its first art school in Phnom Penh under the directorship of George Groslier. In 1925, after suffering devastating losses in World War I, colonialism no longer seemed like a viable economic enterprise. Amidst increasing anti-colonial sentiment among French citizens, the colonial government changed its cultural policies in the colony from one of assimilation to association before abandoning the colony altogether in 1954. It was then that Ecole des Beaux-Arts de l’Indochine or the Indochina School of Fine Art was established in Hanoi. The two art schools could not be more different in its approach to education and illustrate well the contrast between the two policies. In 1931, the benefits of colonial art education were displayed at the Exposition Coloniale in Paris. This lecture will provide an overview of the influence of the two art schools on the development of modern art in Cambodia and Vietnam both during the colonial period and following independence.

    CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION “Ah! poet, come here, at this lyrical hour, sit yourself down on these stones, still warm, and take in the calm atmosphere of these great things. Come chant the appropriate words, in the divine cadence, with each passing second. Allow your genius to rush forth freely: these dormant waters and all that they reflect, these stones and the heavens of the eternal sleep.” 1 -George Groslier, Director of the School of Cambodian Arts The first time that Henri Mouhot, the French naturalist who has often (erroneously) been credited with discovering Angkor, mentions the temples in his published journals he has not yet visited the monuments, but is sure that the ruins testify to Cambodia once having been a powerful and populous country.2 Before he has laid his eyes upon the ruins he has already decided that Angkor will be evidence of Cambodia’s need for assistance,3 which he quickly asserts should be provided by his own country, France. His words were written in 1861, just two years before France granted his wish by making Cambodia a French protectorate. Mouhot’s description, one of the earliest published European accounts of Angkor, is an important opening act in the relationship between Cambodia and France that developed over the ninety years of colonial rule. While Mouhot’s was among the earliest such descriptions, it was by no means the last. He would be 1 George Groslier, A L'ombre D'angkor (Paris: Augustin Challamel, 1916), p. 103. 2 Henri Mouhot, Travels in Siam, Cambodia, Laos, and Annam (Bangkok: White Lotus Press, 2000) pp.

  • HSEPP June and July 2017 Digest • CALL for PAPERS
    HSEPP June and July 2017 Digest Dear HSEPP Members and Friends, Here’s our HSEPP June and July 2017 Digest. You are all welcome to share your suggestions, publications and informations with us and to come to present a research paper to the HSEPP conference. Scholars and researchers who wish to give a lecture presenting need to send us a bio data, presentation title and abstract in English and French, as well as a proposed date. For any questions, please feel free to contact us. Lectures can be given in Khmer, French, or English. • CALL FOR PAPERS MODES OF AUTHORITY AND AESTHETIC PRACTICES FROM SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST ASIA CFP: The French program Autoritas, a project funded by PSL (Paris Sciences & Lettres University), is focused on the study of the relationship between modes of authority and aesthetic practices from South Asia to Southeast Asia. The project is conducted jointly by four French research units: The CASE (Center for Southeast Asian Studies), the CEIAS (Center for South Asian Studies), the LAS (Social Anthropology Laboratory) and the GSRL (Societies, Religions & Secularities Group). By opening a dialogue among historians, art historians, epigraphists and archaeologists on the one hand, and anthropologists and ethnomusicologists on the other, the EHESS, the EFEO, the Collège de France and the EPHE pool their resources to bring together research results coming from a multidisciplinary approach aimed at examining the relationship between the aesthetic phenomenon and authority. The conference Modes of Authority and Aesthetic Practices from South to Southeast Asia intends to think comparatively about the relationship between aesthetic phenomena and authority in a region, South and Southeast Asia, where the aesthetic dimension plays a particularly important role in the legitimation strategies of different types of authority, be they religious, politic or artistic, and where the diversity of societies range from stateless communities to kingdoms and sultanates via various models of states.
