Landscapes and Beliefs in Cambodia
Conference
Landscapes of violence, enchantment and
social change in Cambodia’s highlands
with Eve Zucker, Anthropologist,
Council on Southeast Asian Studies, University of Yale.
Tuesday 17 January at 6:30pm
Institut français du Cambodge
Conference in French, Khmer and English
Free entrance
What is the relationship between landscape, time and imagination ? How can landscapes bear within them long-time meanings as well as be a great tool to talk about social change ? Landscapes and their associated stories are not fixed once and for all – on the contrary, they are often the subject of contradictory discussions according to the personal history, memory or social status of the storytellers.
This conference will show that the dynamic relationship between landscapes and cautionary tales helps Cambodians to heal from their recent and brutal past under the Khmer rouge regime.
