Expression De Soi Et Subjectivité Bouddhiste Chez Des Artistes En Arts Visuels Contemporains De Battambang Au Cambodge Expression de soi et subjectivité bouddhiste chez des artistes en arts visuels contemporains de Battambang au Cambodge Mémoire Marie-Ève Samson Maîtrise en anthropologie Maître ès arts (M.A.) Québec, Canada © Marie-Ève Samson, 2014 Résumé Ce mémoire vise à mieux comprendre comment des artistes du Cambodge, basés dans la ville de Battambang, font sens de leur subjectivité à travers leur démarche en arts visuels contemporains. Dans un contexte où les arts traditionnels au Cambodge étaient autrefois consacrés à une vocation religieuse ou utilitaire, il est pertinent de s’attarder aux changements qui ont permis à ce que « l’expression de soi » devienne une préoccupation fondamentale pour les artistes contemporains au Cambodge. En 2012, j’ai mené un terrain ethnographique auprès d’artistes visuels contemporains nés et vivants à Battambang. Mes résultats montrent que la subjectivité de l’artiste est signifiée à travers des rôles et des valeurs (humilité, équanimité, compassion, discernement) teintés par le bouddhisme, et plus particulièrement le bouddhisme moderniste cambodgien; ce qui entraîne parfois pour les personnes rencontrées une hésitation ou un refus de s’identifier comme selpakor (artiste). De plus, mes résultats soulignent que ces arts contemporains ne se posent pas en rupture complète avec l’héritage artistique cambodgien. Plus généralement, ma recherche développe divers enjeux concernant l’inscription des arts visuels contemporains de Battambang à la scène artistique globale. iii Abstract The aim of this thesis is to better understand how contemporary visual artists, based in Battambang, Cambodia, express their subjectivity through their artistic process. In a context where traditional arts have been dedicated to religious and utilitarian purposes, it is relevant to reflect on the changes that have allowed “self-expression” to become a central concern for contemporary artists in present day Cambodia. In 2012, I conducted an ethnographic field study with contemporary visual artists who were born and still live in Battambang. My results show that the artist’s subjectivity is signified through roles and values (humility, equanimity, compassion, discernment) marked by Buddhism, especially Cambodian modernist Buddhism; which consequently leads some of them to reconsider, or even turn down, the selpakor (artist) designation. Moreover, my results underline the fact that these contemporary art forms do not completely break with Cambodian artistic heritage. More generally, my research tackles various issues regarding the integration of Battambang’s contemporary visual arts to the global art world. v េសចក្តីសេង្ខប និេក្ខបបទេនះ មានេគាលបំណង ចង់ឲយយល់ចបោស់ អំពីអារម្មណ៏ របស់សិលបករ កម្ពុជា តាមរ យះសិលបះសម័យ ែដលមានមូលដាន េនៅទី្រកុងបាត់ដំបង ។ ជំនាន់មុន សិលបះបូរាណែខ្មរ មានការរចនា ភាប់នឹងលកណះ្ខ របស់សាសនា នឹងសកម្មភាព ៃន ការ រស់េនៅរាល់ៃថ្ង ។ សំខាន់េយើង្រតូវគិត ពីការផាស់ប្តូរ ែដលនាំឲយសិលបករ បងាញជាចមបង នូវអារម្មណ៏របសខ់ ្លួនផា ល់ េនៅក្នុងសិលបះសម័យ។ កាលពីឆាំ២០១២ ខ្ញុំបានេធ្វើការ្រសាវ្រជាវ ជាមួយសិលបករ ែដលមានកំេណើតនឹងរស់េនៅ ក្នុងេខត្ត បាត់ដំបង ។ លទ្ធផល ៃនការ្រសាវ្រជាវ បានបងាញឲយដឹងថា អារម្មណ៏ៃនការៃឆ្ន្របឌិត របស់សិ លបករ គឺែផ្អកេនៅេលើសិលធម ៍ ៃន្រពះពុទ្ធសាសនា។ េលើសពីេនះេទៅេទៀត លទ្ធផលបានបងាញ ថា សិលបះសហសម័យទាំងេនះ មានការបន្ត ជាេពញ េលញ ជាមួយនឹងេបតិកភណស ិលបះ ៃន ្របេទសកម្ពុជា ។ ជាទូេទៅ ការ្រសាវ្រជាវរបស់េយើង អធបបោយិ នូវបនានា ទាក់ទង នឹងការបញ្ចូលសិលបះសហ សម័យ ែដលេមើលេឃើញ េនៅទី្រកុងបាត់ដំបង េទៅេលើឆាកសិលបះអន្តរជាតិ ។ vii Table des matières Résumé ................................................................................................................................................ iii Abstract ................................................................................................................................................ v េសចក្តីសេង្ខប ...................................................................................................................................... vii Table des matières .............................................................................................................................. ix Liste des tableaux ................................................................................................................................ xi Liste des figures ................................................................................................................................. xiii Liste des planches .............................................................................................................................. xv Remerciements ................................................................................................................................. xix Introduction ........................................................................................................................................ 1 Chapitre 1 | Cadre théorique ............................................................................................................ 11 1.1.

    UDAYA, Journal of 12, 2014 UDAYA, Khmer Studies, “Performance is Contemporary:” Performance and its Documentation in Visual Art in Cambodia “PERFORMANCE IS CONTEMPORARY:” PERFORMANCE AND ITS DOCUMENTATION IN VISUAL ART IN CAMBODIA Roger Nelson University of Melbourne At a “live painting” and “performance” event in Battambang on March 30, 2014 (titled Selpak Kandia and collaboratively organized by a group of artists including Roeun សិល្បៈកណ䮏ៀ Sokhom [រឿន សុខុម] and Pen Robit [ប៉្ន រ៉ូប៊ីត]), one artist inadvertently flung paint onto an expensive DSLR camera (the photographer happened to poke the lens around the edge of a canvas just as the painter was expressively hurling paint with his hands). Clearly, photographic and video recording was not a key consideration in the planning of this event. Rather, Selpak Kandia —like many other “live painting” and “performance” events organized by this group of artists over recent years in Battambang— was intended to gather and engage a large, live audience of passersby (Figure 1).1 By contrast, when Khvay Samnang ) covered his face and bare body in newspaper (ខ䮜្ សំ㮶ង clippings and stumbled blindly for several minutes over the newly sand-filled Boeung Kak Lake on March 7, 2011, there was no live audience other than fellow artist Lim Sokchanlina ( លីម សុខាន់លី㮶), who assisted with filming.

  • 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. Rithy Panh’s confronting documentary cinema has been highly influential in the exploration of this almost unimaginable tragedy.

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.

  • Writing the Postcolonial City: Phnom Penh and Modernity During Sangkum Reastr Niyum, 1955-1970
    Writing the Postcolonial City: Phnom Penh and Modernity during Sangkum Reastr Niyum, 1955-1970 by Siti Galang Keo A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Peter B. Zinoman, Chair Professor Kerwin Klein Professor Penelope Edwards Summer 2019 Abstract Writing the Postcolonial City: Phnom Penh and Modernity during Sangkum Reastr Niyum, 1955-1970 by Siti Galang Keo Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Peter B. Zinoman, Chair This dissertation examines novels, essays, films and songs of the Sangkum Reastr Niyum period, 1955-1970, to explore the layers of meanings Cambodians held of Phnom Penh. After the Geneva Accords in 1954, Phnom Penh emerged as the capital city of a newly independent nation-state, the Kingdom of Cambodia. The city under French colonial rule was secondary to Hanoi and Saigon, but once Indochina dissolved, its population exponentially increased. Phnom Penh was at the center of Cambodia’s road networks, its banking system, and was home to the best universities and schools. The many jobs and opportunities attracted rural migrants to the city. The population boom was one of the many ways Phnom Penh transformed. Norodom Sihanouk, then the head of state, made Phnom Penh the epicenter of government modernization projects. Under his watch, the capital transformed from being a marshy, provincial hub into an exciting scene of cosmopolitan innovation. Urban Cambodians combined ideas from Le Corbusier with traditional Khmer architectural details to design their “modern” buildings.

  • KON. the Cinema of Cambodia
    Preface The editorial team in front of DMC building / Neang Eric on”, the title of this magazine, means “film” in Khmer. In this magazine, we want to talk both about the past and the present of Khmer film. The Cambodian film industry so far has not recovered from K the historic catastrophe of the Khmer Rouge reign of terror from 1975 to 1979. After brief spikes in production around 1990 and in the last decade, the situation today is rather bleak. Most of the once over 30 cinemas in Phnom Penh are closed and have been turned into restaurants, hotels and snooker halls. Only very few films, most of them cheap horror flicks, are being produced today. It wasn’t always like that. The years between 1960 and 1975 are known as the “Golden Age of Khmer Cinema” today. In that short period, the small country produced almost 400 films. Some of the big stars like Kong Sam Oeun, Vichara Dany or Dy Saveth supposedly starred in up to 100 productions. Only around 30 of these films survive, remnants of a national cinema that was full of miracles and beauty: Kings with magic powers, giants, witches, flying horses, gods that walk the earth and a girl with snakes instead of hair are only some of the sensations that the film makers of that time put on the screen despite the very limited technical means that they had at their disposal. But there were also contemporary stories that show a surprisingly cosmopolitan and modern country. And there were the films by His Majesty King Norodom Sihanouk, one of the most prolific film makers in Southeast Asia, who tried to use the medium of cinema as a tool for nation building.
