These are inherited from generations to generations as role models for living life until now (Danai Chaiyota, 2003 : 117). Similarly, Cambodia is a country with long traditions and cultures in perspectives of music and art performance. The evidence of Cambodia’s cultural heritage is engraved in murals and carvings along the walls of Angkor Wat and Ankor Thom (Sam-Ang, 1988 : 290-292) which were established in 1513, in the reign of King Chaiworaman II of Phra Nakhon City (George Ceodes, translated by Pranee Wongtet,7 : 1999 1). Traditions and Cultures of music and art performance have been gradually “Family Heritage (Kaeo Narm, 2011 : 197). During World Wars II, Cambodia suffered from being invaded by neighboring countries and internal usurpation of power. Since the 14th century, Cambodia engaged in war with neighboring countries such as Siam (Thailand), Vietnam and Western Countries until the early 20th century, together with internal power struggles within the country. Until 1975, The Khmer rouge overthrew the central Cambodian government and killed a large number of people (Chandler, 2007 : 234). According to this situation, the war killed over two million Cambodians until the Khmer Rouge disbandment in 1998 (TharaPhak, 2012 : 26-55). During the war, Cambodian cultural arts were destroyed and key people in music and performing arts were almost killed. After the end of the war, there were private organizations established with support from foreign agencies; totally 300 private organizations at present (Maria Clamor, 2001 : 3-22) .These organizations played important roles in rebuilding the country, improving Cambodians’ quality of life, renovating cultural arts, improving education, raising careers and providing help for the patients with HIV/AID in the kingdom of Cambodia (Cheam Phan Viriya, 2009 : 7). With their own conceptual idea and principles which are independent from government, the organizations were able to operate their activities following their visions, missions and targets effectively and independently for Cambodian people (Clamor, 2001 : 13). 304 การบริหารจัดการดนตรีและศิลปะการแสดงในประเทศกัมพูชา พีระพงษ์ ธีระเผ่าพงษ์, ทินกร อัตไพบูลย์, เฉลย ภูมิพันธุ์ Music and Performing Arts are important activities in which Cambodian people have great interest. Music and Performing Arts are used as tools and managed to benefit social development, Cambodian people’s lives and the development of their organizations with very successful outcome both at local and national levels. Consequently, there should be effective management for such a limited resource. In addition, to manage the organization through the perspective of artists, it is necessary to build a network, workforce, opportunities and planners to allow the artists to be accepted in a working system (Paul, 2011 : 6-9). In addition, Music and Performing arts can be managed to be most effective and valuable for raising incomes and providing careers which are the way to integrate Music and Performing Arts into creditable careers (Peerapong Teerapaowpong, 2015 : 294-295). Accordingly, as a researcher, I am interested in studying the historical background and comparing management strategies in music performing art of Cambodian Living Arts, Cambodian Cultural Village and Phare Ponleu Selpak in Cambodia since Cambodia is a country where private organizations seem to perform successful management in music and performing art. Their management performance can create careers in music and performing arts to develop Cambodian people’s lives, improve both society and people’ s minds to be acceptable in local and national levels. The 4Ms strategy of management is used as a framework for analyzing the data. The 4Ms comprises Man, Money, Materials and Management (Sansit Chawalittamrong,13 : 2003 ). This study reveals the linkage between management and music and performing art, and 4Ms is used as a tool to analyze the findings. It also reveals the importance of management and how to become successful in music and performing art management. Hopefully, the results of this study will be advantageous for music and performing arts in the Kingdom of Cambodia systematically in order to conserve music and performing arts within human society in the future.

Theresa Ventura Examiner Professor Alison Rowley Supervisor Professor Matthew Penney Approved by Chair of Department or Graduate Program Director 2018 Dean of Faculty ABSTRACT Re-imagining Khmer Identity: Angkor Wat during the People’s Republic of Kampuchea (1979-1989) Simon Bailey The People’s Republic of Kampuchea period between 1979 and 1989 is often overlooked when scholars work on the history of modern Cambodia. This decade is an academic blind spot sandwiched between the genocidal Khmer Rouge regime and the onset of the United Nations peace process. Utilizing mediums such as popular culture, postage stamps and performance art, this thesis will show how the single most identifiable image of Cambodian culture, Angkor Wat became a cultural binding agent for the government during the 1980s. To prove the centrality of Angkor in the myth-making and nation building mechanisms of the People’s Republic of Kampuchea, primary source material from Cambodia’s archives, along with interviews will form the foundation of this investigation.

    Language and Culture of Cambodia SFS 2080 Syllabus The School for Field Studies (SFS) Center for Conservation and Development Studies Siem Reap, Cambodia This syllabus may develop or change over time based on local conditions, learning opportunities, and faculty expertise. Course content may vary from semester to semester. www.fieldstudies.org © 2019 The School for Field Studies Fa19 COURSE CONTENT SUBJECT TO CHANGE Please note that this is a copy of a recent syllabus. A final syllabus will be provided to students on the first day of academic programming. SFS programs are different from other travel or study abroad programs. Each iteration of a program is unique and often cannot be implemented exactly as planned for a variety of reasons. There are factors which, although monitored closely, are beyond our control. For example: • Changes in access to or expiration or change in terms of permits to the highly regulated and sensitive environments in which we work; • Changes in social/political conditions or tenuous weather situations/natural disasters may require changes to sites or plans, often with little notice; • Some aspects of programs depend on the current faculty team as well as the goodwill and generosity of individuals, communities, and institutions which lend support. Please be advised that these or other variables may require changes before or during the program. Part of the SFS experience is adapting to changing conditions and overcoming the obstacles that may be present. In other words, the elephants are not always where we want them to be, so be flexible! 2 Course Overview The Language and Culture course contains two distinct but related modules: Cambodian society and culture, and Khmer language.

Kraynanski June 2007 WOMEN WALKING SILENTLY: THE EMERGENCE OF CAMBODIAN WOMEN INTO THE PUBLIC SPHERE by JOAN M. KRAYNANSKI has been approved for the Center for International Studies by ________________________________________ Elizabeth Fuller Collins Associate Professor, Classics and World Religions _______________________________________ Drew McDaniel Interim Director, Center for International Studies Abstract Kraynanski, Joan M., M.A., June 2007, Southeast Asian Studies WOMEN WALKING SILENTLY: THE EMERGENCE OF CAMBODIAN WOMEN INTO THE PUBLIC SPHERE (65 pp.) Director of Thesis: Elizabeth Fuller Collins This thesis examines the changing role of Cambodian women as they become engaged in local politics and how the situation of women’s engagement in the public sphere is contributing to a change in Cambodia’s traditional gender regimes. I examine the challenges for and successes of women engaged in local politics in Cambodia through interviews and observation of four elected women commune council members. Cambodian’s political culture, beginning with the post-colonial period up until the present, has been guided by strong centralized leadership, predominantly vested in one individual. The women who entered the political system from the commune council elections of 2002 address a political philosophy of inclusiveness and cooperation. The guiding organizational philosophy of inclusiveness and cooperation is also evident in other women centered organizations that have sprung up in Cambodia since the early 1990s. My research looks at how women’s role in society began to change during the Khmer Rouge years, 1975 to 1979, and has continued to transform, for some a matter of necessity, while for others a matter of choice.

    The Royal Ballet of Cambodia In collaboration with the Ministry of Culture of Cambodia and the French Embassy in Phnom Penh. Chorégraphy by her Royal Highness Princess Norodom Buppha Devi Zaman Production 14, rue de l’Atlas - 75 019 PARIS – France tel 0033 (0)1 42 02 00 03 www.zamanproduction.com IMMATERIAL HERITAGE UNESCO duration : 1h20 UNESCO : Choreography by Her Royal Highness Princess Norodom Buppha Devi Renowned for its graceful hand gestures and stunning costumes, the Royal Ballet of Cambodia, also known as Khmer Classical Dance, has been closely associated with the Khmer court for over one thousand years. Performances would traditionally accompany royal ceremonies and observances such as coronations, marriages, funerals or Khmer holidays. This art form, which narrowly escaped annihilation in the 1970s, is cherished by many Cambodians. Infused with a sacred and symbolic role, the dance embodies the traditional values of refinement, respect and spirituality. Its repertory perpetuates the legends associated with the origins of the Khmer people. Consequently, Cambodians have long esteemed this tradition as the emblem of Khmer culture. Four distinct character types exist in the classical repertory: Neang the woman, Neayrong the man, Yeak the giant, and Sva the monkey. Each possesses distinctive colours, costumes, makeup and masks.The gestures and poses, mastered by the dancers only after years of intensive training, evoke the gamut of human emotions, from fear and rage to love and joy. An orchestra accompanies the dance, and a female chorus provides a running commentary on the plot, highlighting the emotions mimed by the dancers, who were considered the kings’ messengers to the gods and to the ancestors.
