York, Jordan. "Deported Khmer Americans| Surviving Cambodia." Thesis, Northern Illinois University, 2014. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=1552431.
Full textAbstract:
In 2002, under pressure from the United States, the government of Cambodia reluctantly agreed to take in a limited number of individuals facing deportation from the only home they had ever really known back to their "homeland" about which they knew little to nothing. After escaping the horrors of the Khmer Rouge and beginning new lives as refugees in America, they would in time come to live their lives as Americans. Of those being deported, many have little if any connection to their "homeland," possess limited knowledge and understanding of Khmer cultural patterns and are not accepted as "true" Khmer by the society. This thesis examines how deportation has affected their lives and shaped their cultural identities. The research contributes to anthropological discourses on displacement, homelands, transnationalism and disaporic communities by suggesting that a new notion of "dual displacement" be used to conceptualize the events experienced by these Khmer Americans and their rejection by two countries. Dual displacement allows analysis of a situation where nostalgia is not for the "homeland" in the sense of birthplace or point of origin, but for the site of refuge from which they were then exiled.

Perry, Liz, and n/a. "The Khmer Sampot : an evolving tradition." University of Canberra. Applied Science, 1995. http://erl.canberra.edu.au./public/adt-AUC20061031.132245.
Full textAbstract:
The Khmer Sampot: An Evolving Tradition examines the history of the Khmer
hip-wrapper, specifically the sampot. and its place within Khmer society. The
thesis suggests that the continuation of the tradition of making and wearing
the sampot is an indicator of what is important within Khmer society.
Evidence of the sampot's early form comes from many sources, including
Angkorian sculpture and inscriptions; from notes made by the Chinese emissary
Chou Ta-Kuan who lived at Angkor in 1296AD; traders in the region around the
fifteenth century; later European explorers such as Henri Mouhot; early
twentieth century travellers, scholars and French administrators; later
twentieth century anthropologists notes, Cambodian journals, interviews with
Cambodian people and visits to Cambodia.
Using the above evidence, the sampot's forms and functions within Khmer
society from ancient times to the present day are examined and discussed. The
varieties of sampot. the motifs, colours, types of cloth and methods of
weaving are considered. Also considered are the sampot's functions, ie as
everyday dress, ceremonial dress and the economic function of the sampot
within Khmer society.
The thesis notes that during the twentieth century alone there have been two
events which could have caused the demise of traditional sampot weaving, one
of which was the flood of imported goods to Indochina during the early years
of the twentieth cntury, resulting in a lack of interest in local goods and
the subsequent lack of production of local goods such as cloth. The other
event was Pol Pot's reign of Cambodia during 1975-79, when the population wore
a black uniform. In the case of the first event, it was the French who
realised that encouraging the traditional skills to resurface was essential if
these skills were not to be lost. However in the case of the second event, it
appears to have been the Cambodian people themselves who, after the
devastating events of the late 1970's, recommenced their tradition of making
and wearing sampot as a way of expressing their cultural identity.

Persson, Fredrik. "The Khmer Rouge Tribunal : Searching for Justice and Truth in Cambodia." Thesis, Södertörn University College, School of Social Sciences, 2009. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:sh:diva-2578.
Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis is to analyze the relationship between the Khmer Rouge tribunal in Cambodia and the national reconciliation process. A qualitative method involving secondary source analysis as well as field study interviews is being used. The point of departure is a theoretical framework of reconciliation assembled from different sources, as there seems to be no coherent and widely accepted framework available for use. An analysis model is constructed, focusing on the concepts of justice and truth. The findings indicate that reconciliation is nowhere near fulfillment, although a few steps towards national reconciliation have been taken. The Cambodian process of reconciliation is only at its earliest stages. Furthermore, the findings suggest that there is a strong relationship between the tribunal and the reconciliation process, inasmuch as the tribunal is perceived to have positive effects on reconciliation, and that continued reconciliation would not be possible without the tribunal. The tribunal is not the only part in reconciliation though, it is a necessary but not sufficient precondition for continued reconciliation. The tribunal can not bring reconciliation close to fulfillment on its own, other mechanizms must be involved in order to do so.

O'Lemmon, Matthew Eric. "Two site study of the reconstruction of the Buddhist monastery in Cambodia Post-Khmer Rouge." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2011. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/26013.
Full textAbstract:
From the fall of Phnom Penh, to the hyper-Marxist Khmer Rouge, to the decades-long civil war and reconstruction of the country following Vietnam's invasion in 1979, Cambodia has seen a cultural upheaval that brought with it the destruction of institutions and ways of life that have been slow to recover. This two site study examines the reconstruction of one those institutions, the Buddhist monastery, in Prey Thom commune in the southwestern province of Kampot. The loss of traditions, texts, and clergy has meant that the centre of village life -- the local temple -- has had to regain many of those aspects that defined it throughout the centuries. Two of these, the power the monastery commanded in the eyes of locals and the monastic identity which defined how that power was expressed, have historically been vital to the monastery's existence and allowed for temples to be the epicentre of villages, defining individuals' lives and the agrarian economy they depended on. The monastery's reconstruction has also meant that the reliance on local folk and Hindu beliefs continued, and in some instances, grew in prominence in the absence of a viable and competent cadre of Buddhist monks. As the monastery continues to regain its former stature, how this affects merit-making traditions and the local economies which rely on them in many ways reflects the importance of local temples from village to village. While monastic schooling has proved to be important in recreating a knowledgeable cadre, how this affects local attitudes regarding the status of monks is further shaped by those outside of the monastery who either purposely or unknowingly determine local perceptions of it. The future of the monastery will depend on how it can maintain a degree of separation from these larger entities while continuing to serve in the time-honoured roles that sustain villages and the traditions they have historically relied upon.

Ehrentraut, Stefan. "Challenging Khmer citizenship : minorities, the state, and the international community in Cambodia." Phd thesis, Universität Potsdam, 2013. http://opus.kobv.de/ubp/volltexte/2014/7035/.
Full textAbstract:
The idea of a distinctly ‘liberal’ form of multiculturalism has emerged in the theory and practice of Western democracies and the international community has become actively engaged in its global dissemination via international norms and organizations. This thesis investigates the internationalization of minority rights, by exploring state-minority relations in Cambodia, in light of Will Kymlicka’s theory of multicultural citizenship. Based on extensive empirical research, the analysis explores the situation and aspirations of Cambodia’s ethnic Vietnamese, highland peoples, Muslim Cham, ethnic Chinese and Lao and the relationships between these groups and the state. All Cambodian regimes since independence have defined citizenship with reference to the ethnicity of the Khmer majority and have - often violently - enforced this conception through the assimilation of highland peoples and the Cham and the exclusion of ethnic Vietnamese and Chinese. Cambodia’s current constitution, too, defines citizenship ethnically. State-sponsored Khmerization systematically privileges members of the majority culture and marginalizes minority members politically, economically and socially.
The thesis investigates various international initiatives aimed at promoting application of minority rights norms in Cambodia. It demonstrates that these initiatives have largely failed to accomplish a greater degree of compliance with international norms in practice. This failure can be explained by a number of factors, among them Cambodia’s neo-patrimonial political system, the geo-political fears of a ‘minoritized’ Khmer majority, the absence of effective regional security institutions, the lack of minority access to political decision-making, the significant differences between international and Cambodian conceptions of modern statehood and citizenship and the emergence of China as Cambodia’s most important bilateral donor and investor. Based on this analysis, the dissertation develops recommendations for a sequenced approach to minority rights promotion, with pragmatic, less ambitious shorter-term measures that work progressively towards achievement of international norms in the longer-term.In der politischen Theorie und Praxis liberaler Demokratien hat sich die Idee eines explizit liberalen Multikulturalismus etabliert. Die internationale Gemeinschaft verbreitet diese Idee weltweit durch Völkerrechtsnormen und internationale Organisationen. Auf der Grundlage umfangreicher Feldforschung untersucht die vorliegende Dissertation die Internationalisierung von Minderheitenrechten am Beispiel Kambodschas. Dazu werden die Situation und Aspirationen von Kambodschas ethnischen Vietnamesen, Bergvölkern, islamischen Cham, ethnischen Chinesen und Laoten und das Verhältnis zwischen diesen Gruppen und dem Staat analysiert. Alle kambodschanischen Regimes seit der Unabhängigkeit haben Staatsbürgerschaft über die Ethnizität der Khmer Mehrheit definiert und diese Konzeption durch den Versuch der Assimilation der Bergvölker und Cham und den Ausschluss ethnischer Vietnamesen und Chinesen aktiv und oft gewaltsam zu verwirklichen versucht. Auch die aktuelle Verfassung definiert Mitgliedschaft im Gemeinwesen ethnisch. Das Streben des Staates nach der kulturellen ‚Khmerisation‘ der Bevölkerung privilegiert Mehrheitsmitglieder und marginalisiert Mitglieder kultureller Minderheiten politisch, wirtschaftlich und sozial. Trotz vielfältiger Initiativen ist die internationale Gemeinschaft daran gescheitert, in Kambodscha die Anwendung internationaler Minderheitenrechte zu erreichen. Die Analyse erklärt dieses Scheitern mit einer Reihe von Faktoren, darunter Kambodschas neo-patrimonialem Regierungssystem, den geo-politischen Ängsten einer ‚minoritisierten’ Khmer Mehrheit, dem Fehlen effektiver regionaler Sicherheitsinstitutionen, dem fehlenden Zugang von Minderheiten zu politischen Entscheidungsprozessen, den erheblichen Unterschieden zwischen internationalen und kambodschanischen Konzeptionen von moderner Staatlichkeit und Staatsbürgerschaft sowie der zunehmenden Bedeutung Chinas als Kambodschas wichtigstem bilateraler Geber und Investor. Auf der Grundlage dieser Analyse entwickelt die Arbeit Empfehlungen, wie die internationale Gemeinschaft mit einem sequenzierten Ansatz die schrittweise Annäherung an internationale Normen und deren langfristige Einhaltung erreichen kann.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis research examines changes in food culture as a means of adaptation for Cambodians, who migrated to Long Beach, California after the Cambodian genocide (1975- 1979). This research examines how ?place,? defined as experience and neighborhood, influences the ability or desire to maintain certain cultural food practices of the homeland such as passing down the knowledge to the Cambodian younger generation in order to sustain their cultural heritage. An array of qualitative methods was employed for this thesis research which included participant observation, structured interviews, and semi-structured interviews in both Cambodia and Long Beach. For the older Cambodian generation, adaptation of their food culture has occurred through home gardens, shopping at Asian markets in the Long Beach area, and importing certain dried ingredients from Cambodia. The translation of the Khmer food culture transpires when the Cambodian youth takes an interest and they watch their parent(s) prepare the meals. Overall, their place of residence and the willingness to travel a certain distance to shop were influencing factors for Cambodians in the Long Beach area in terms of what types of meals they prepared which included dishes from Asian influences in the surrounding area.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis I describe Khmers' negotiations of circumstances surroundingthe disassembly, reconstruction, and redefinition of Khmer identity fromtheir homeland in Cambodia to a traditional Khmer village recreated in theUnited States. Using a framework derived from a constructivist perspective,I have placed processes of negotiation and identity transformation withinthe lived context of Khmers' lives. Thus, a holistic understanding of theinterrelatedness of multiple changes in Khmerness is made possible.Ethnographic data collected between 1997 and 1999, through participantobservationand interviews, inform this study. Findings from this studyreveal three levels of identity transformation as told by members of a smallKhmer village established along the U. S. Gulf of Mexico. However, thesethree levels of transformation are not mutually exclusive nor are theynecessarily sequential. Each transformation of Khmers' identitiesconstitutes permeable aggregates of other past and continuingdisassemblies, reconstructions and redefinitions of Khmerness. Findingsfrom this study demonstrate that Khmer identity shifts and is transformedby past and present experiences and with their changing circumstances,from endangered Cambodian, to refugees, to re-established Khmers inAmerica.

Full textAbstract:
Under the brutal Khmer Rouge regime from 1975 to 1979 in Cambodia, 1.7 million people died from starvation, overwork, torture, and murder. While five senior leaders are on trial for these crimes at the Extraordinary Chambers of the Courts of Cambodia, hundreds of lower level perpetrators live amongst their victims today. This thesis examines how rural Cambodians (including victims, perpetrators, and bystanders) are coexisting after the trauma of the Khmer Rouge years, and the decades of civil war before and after. In this qualitative research study, 134 semi-structured interviews were conducted with rural villagers, government officials, and peacebuilding practitioners. Cambodian culture is characterized by conflict avoidance, and reliance on family networks, hierarchy, and patronage. Buddhism is a strong cultural influence as well. These characteristics, as well as the lack of trust resulting from the Khmer Rouge years, provided important context for this analysis of Cambodian social recovery. Research on the processes of coexistence and reconciliation inform this study (Bloomfield 2006; Huyse 2003; Kriesberg 2001; Lederach 1997; Rigby 2001). However, few studies have been done that examine community reconciliation in Cambodia (Etcheson 2005b). This thesis examines the processes of reconciliation, including interfering and facilitating factors. Processes such as building relationships and trust, and developing empathy and compassion are explored. Cambodians’ views of apologies, revenge, forgiveness, and other key concepts are reviewed. Models of coexistence, acceptance, perpetrator coping strategies, and a victim decision-making tree are presented to assist in the analysis of the data. These models provide a theoretical framework for the understanding of the situation of coexistence and reconciliation in Cambodia. The thesis suggests that Cambodians are currently living in various stages of coexistence (surface, shallow, and moderate) and have not yet approached a condition of deep reconciliation. Practical applications of the findings are suggested.

Full textAbstract:
The Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) have been tasked with bringing justice to the survivors of the Khmer Rouge genocide. Almost ten years later, three people have been sentenced to life imprisonment. This study examines the perceptions of justice and opportunities of reconciliation from somewhat neglected perspective of Chinese-Cambodian genocide survivors. Through the unique tool of non-judicial measures (NJMs), I am exploring opportunities and chances that might arise for a broader victim support in the future. I have conducted two focus groups in Kampot and Battambang, as well as eleven semi-structured interviews in Battambang and Phnom Penh with Chinese-Cambodian survivors of the Khmer Rouge. As a bridge to the quantitative research, I additionally have conducted a Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) with existing surveys and studies.

Full textAbstract:
Why does mass-violence happen at all? This paper takes the first steps to establish a model to answer this question and explain extreme mass-violence as a phenomenon. This paper seeks to fill a gap in the field of research, in which models exist to explain the phenomenon of violence, with cases of genocide being seen as problems or exceptions, and as such researched as individual cases rather than as part of a wider phenomenon. This paper uses a selected part of the writings of Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer to establish the basis for a model to explain extreme-cases of mass-violence. The Five-Pillar Model includes 5 social elements - (1) Culture Industry (2) Mass-Media (3) Propaganda (4) Dehumanization (5) Ideological Awareness. When these pillars all reach a high enough level of severity, conditions enable elites to use scapegoating - to divert revolutionary attention to a specific puppet group, resulting in extreme mass-violence. The Five-Pillar Model is then used to analyze an empirical case - Cambodia 1975-1979 and shows how these pillars all existed in an extreme form in that case. This paper presents scapegoating as a possible explanation for the Cambodian case.

Bon, Noellie. "Une grammaire de la langue stieng, langue en danger du Cambodge et du Vietnam." Thesis, Lyon 2, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014LYO20015/document.
Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse constitue la première grammaire d’envergure de la langue stieng, une langue minoritaire en danger parlée au Cambodge et au Vietnam. Si le nombre exact de locuteurs est à ce jour méconnu, la population stieng compterait 51 540 membres dans les deux pays. Ce travail se base sur deux variétés différentes de stieng, toutes deux parlées au Cambodge, dans la région de Kratie et le district de Snuol. L’étude s’appuie sur des données de première main collectées auprès de onze locuteurs, dans le cadre de trois séjours de terrain totalisant 12 mois et réalisés dans des villages traditionnels. Cette thèse répond à un double objectif : elle propose d’une part, une description d’une langue en danger encore très peu décrite, dans un cadre de linguistique typologique-fonctionnelle, génétique et aréale et, d’autre part, le développement de thématiques particulières. Ce travail propose dans un premier temps une introduction sociolinguistique de la langue dans le but de contextualiser la recherche. Puis, les thèmes linguistiques abordés dans cette thèse couvrent la phonologie et la morphosyntaxe. La partie phonologique propose une synthèse de la phonologie du stieng dans une perspective comparative et diachronique. La partie morphosyntaxe est quant à elle scindée en différentes sous-parties dédiées aux catégories de mots ainsi qu’aux domaines nominal, verbal et phrastique. Une attention particulière est accordée aux thèmes de la catégorisation nominale, de la composition nominale, du temps-aspect-mode (TAM), des constructions verbales en série et de l'expression de l’espace. Les annexes de cette thèse présentent des informations complémentaires au sujet de la situation des minorités du Cambodge, des éléments relatifs à l’analyse phonologique ainsi que trois textes, glosés et traduits, extraits d'une base de données plus ample compilée dans le cadre des séjours de terrainThis dissertation is the first far-ranging grammar of Stieng, a language of oral tradition of the Môn-Khmer group, spoken in Cambodia and Vietnam. If the exact number of speakers is currently unknown, the whole Stieng community may group 51 540 members in both countries. This dissertation is based on two different varieties of Stieng, both spoken in Cambodia (Kratie province, Snuol district). This study relies on primary data obtained among 11 speakers, within three fieldtrips realized in traditional villages, for a total duration of 12 months. This dissertation achieves a double objective by proposing a description of an endangered language, so far very little described, in a functional-typological, areal and genetic framework and by developing specific topics. The dissertation starts with a sociolinguistic introduction of the language in order to contextualize the research. Then the linguistic topics covered in the dissertation include the phonology and the morphosyntax. The phonology part gives a summary of the phonology of the language in a comparative and diachronic perspective. The morphosyntax part is divided into different subparts respectively dedicated to word classes and the nominal, verbal and phrase domains. Special attention is given to the topics of nominal categorization, nominal composition, tense-aspect-mood (TAM), verbal serialization and the expression of space. The appendices provide additional information about the situation of minority peoples of Cambodia, further elements about the phonological analysis and three texts, glossed and translated, extracted from a larger database compiled during the fieldtrips

Zucker, Eve Monique. "Memory and (re)making moral order in the aftermath of violence in a highland Khmer village in Cambodia." Thesis, London School of Economics and Political Science (University of London), 2007. http://etheses.lse.ac.uk/1945/.
Full textAbstract:
This research is about how moral order is (re)made in the wake of cataclysmic violence and dislocation in a village in Cambodia's Southwest. The village locale has been a Khmer Rouge base and battlefield for nearly 30 years between 1970 and 1998. The study, based on fieldwork carried out in 2001-2003, draws together the themes of relatedness, morality and memory to examine the consequences of the violence of the past on present day relations and practices. More precisely, I argue that the experiences of the village in the early days of the revolution, when villagers turned on each other, not only had a devastating impact on the social and moral order at the time they occurred but continue to impair the remaking of moral order today and has impacts on responses to other social changes occurring in recent years. The thesis includes an analysis of both the memory of the violence of the past, including its moral dimensions and relations to other pasts, and an analysis of the means by which relatedness and moral order is re-established through trust, kinship, commensality, shared stories, and village rituals. It also includes a comparison with villages in the neighbouring commune that suffered similar but not identical experiences, arguing that these differing experiences shape present ways of healing and making the future. By addressing these issues, this dissertation will provide a unique case study that contributes to the anthropology of post-violence memory and recovery and the emerging anthropology of morality, as well as make an ethnographic contribution to Cambodian studies.

Full textAbstract:
Twenty-eight years after the fall of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, many Cambodians are still unclear about what really took place during the 1975-1979 regime, during which an estimated 1.7 million people died. Cambodia still suffers economically, socially and psychologically from the legacy of the Khmer Rouge and the years of war before and since. This has also impacted on the next generation of young Cambodians, who are reportedly poorly informed and sceptical about the Khmer Rouge. This research explores the root causes of the apparent disinterest and lack of knowledge among Cambodia’s youth. It also examines the potential role that radio can play in supporting and contextualising survivors’ testimonies and educating young people about their recent history. This is achieved by studying a phone-in radio series entitled Ka Pit (The Truth), which aims to educate young people about the Khmer Rouge regime. The overall supposition of this study is that real and meaningful reconciliation requires documenting, memorialising and communicating past violence and conflict, a process which has been slow to occur in Cambodia. The research methodology consisted of focus group discussions with young Cambodians, and a comparative survey of listeners and non-listeners of Ka Pit. The field research reveals that 91.7% of survey respondents lost relatives during the Khmer Rouge regime. However, only 8.5% of survey respondents claimed to be very aware of the KR while 87.5% know a little. 91.7% of respondents learned about the Khmer Rouge from their parents and relatives. In general, young people know about the day-to-day hardships suffered during the regime but do not understand the wider geopolitical, ideological and historical context of the Khmer Rouge. While urban educated youths can educate themselves by accessing other sources such as books, memorials, Internet, magazines and videos, rural young people rely almost exclusively on survivors’ testimony and the mass media as sources of information about the Khmer Rouge. Family stories play a crucial and primary role in informing young people about the Khmer Rouge. However, they also contain inherent limitations and provide neither adequate proof that such a horrific regime existed nor sufficient explanation for why it happened. On the other hand, radio is still a popular pastime and an important source of information for young people in Cambodia. It is a versatile medium that can be listened to throughout the day. 87% of respondents listen to the radio sometimes or often and 41.7% learned about the Khmer Rouge through radio. Young people enjoy Ka Pit and find it extremely informative and interesting. They feel that the information in the programme is trustworthy and can contribute to their understanding of the Khmer Rouge time. The impact of Ka Pit to date has been very impressive, given it has only been on the air for a short time. 90.9% of respondents believed that the programme can have a positive impact on society, most notably that young people will understand their history and that a similar regime would be prevented from taking power in Cambodia. Listeners of Ka Pit were consistently better informed that non-listeners about conditions during the Khmer Rouge regime. Furthermore, listeners of Ka Pit are far more likely to discuss the Khmer Rouge than non-listeners.

Full textAbstract:
The objective in this case study is to highlight typical problems of a planned hydropower dam project in Bokor National Park, Cambodia. The focal point in the line of questioning is the usage of public participation in larger exploration plans in a development country and to give a comprehensive survey of some of the participant involved. The study also discusses how the WCD report is used by non-govemental organisation to validate their claims. To be able to understand how the Cambodian society works, the study also includes a short briefing of recent Cambodian history. The study shows that the local people are more or less neglected in the preliminary investigations. Even if information meetings are held open, they are conducted in such a way that it is hard for common people to participate. The meetings are held in English and not in the domestic language Khmer. Critical groups are not formally invited but welcome to attend, most of their statements are withdrawn from the official protocols. The study also reveals that the leading entrepreneurs more or less neglects the environmental hazards in the construction by focus their information and calculations on the positive effects of the project. The study has been made as a field study, on location in Cambodia.

Full textAbstract:
Whereas reconciliation in Cambodia has mostly received academic attention in terms ofanalyzing state-institutions, this thesis explores the role of civil society actors. Of particularinterest is the impact, grass-root efforts can have on promoting an inclusive group identitythrough educational means. This will be researched through the analysis of attitudes towardselements of an inclusive group identity held by pre-service teachers, who were interviewedbefore and after they took part in a so-called genocide education workshop organized by theDocumentation Center of Cambodia. These attitudes will be examined in terms of theirjustifications, and if the workshop influenced their quantity as well as quality. In addition, bytaking into account justifications of attitudes supporting an inclusive group identity, threecommon denominators will be identified that can help strengthening the impact of futureeducational efforts within the framework of reconciliation.

Full textAbstract:
Louis Delaporte est un personnage méconnu de l’histoire de l’étude de l’art khmer en France. Il a cependant occupé, entre sa première mission aux ruines khmères, en 1873, et sa démission du Musée indochinois du Trocadéro, en 1924, une place centrale dans l’archéologie de l’Asie du Sud-Est. Cette thèse fournit un premier éclairage sur le travail entrepris par Delaporte pour faire connaître l’art khmer, et constituer une collection d’œuvres devant servir de base pour son étude. Des sources inédites (correspondance familiale, documents de travail conservés par la famille Delaporte et le musée Guimet) permettent de retracer le parcours professionnel de Louis Delaporte, de sa première visite sur le site d’Angkor, en 1866, au développement du Musée indochinois du Trocadéro, entre 1884 et 1924. Si la concentration du travail de Delaporte autour de l’art khmer est fortuite (sa première mission aux ruines khmères a ainsi été conçue comme l’étape initiale d’un voyage plus large d’exploration du Tonkin), il développe cependant dès son retour en France une stratégie réfléchie pour assurer aux œuvres rapportées de son séjour une place de choix sur la scène scientifique française. Grâce à la création d’un très vaste réseau, dans l’administration aussi bien que dans les milieux scientifiques, Louis Delaporte devient ainsi, dès les années 1880, un personnage incontournable dans l’étude des monuments khmers. Faute des connaissances nécessaires, il ne réussira cependant jamais à s’imposer comme le fer de lance de l’archéologie khmère, et se concentrera plutôt sur le développement d’une collection destinée à devenir, en France, indispensable à qui s’intéresse à l’archéologie khmèreLouis Delaporte is an underrated character in the history of the study of Khmer art in France. Between his first travel to the Khmer ruins, in 1873, and his resignation from the Musée indochinois du Trocadéro, in 1924, he held, however, a central position in the archeology of Southeast Asia. This thesis provides a first insight into the work undertaken by Delaporte to make Khmer art renowned, and provide a collection of art works meant to be the basis of its study. Unpublished sources (family letters, working papers kept by the Delaporte family and the musée Guimet) help relate Louis Delaporte’s career, from his first visit to Angkor, in 1866, to the development of the Musée indochinois du Trocadéro, between 1884 and 1924. If the focus of Delaporte’s work on Khmer art is born of fortuitous circumstances (his first travel to the Khmer ruins was designed to be the inital step of a broader exploration trip to Tonkin), he however developed a conscious strategy to ensure the works of art he brought back became prominent in French scientific circles. Thanks to the creation of a vast network, in the administration as well as in scientific circles, Louis Delaporte became, in the 1880s, a key character in the study of Khmer monuments. Due to his lack of knowledge, however, Delaporte never succeded in becoming the spearhead of Khmer archeology, and focused instead more on the development of a collection designed to become, in France, essential to whoever had an interest in Khmer archeology

Full textAbstract:
L’objet de ma thèse est de dévoiler et d’analyser mon processus de création, aussi bien dans ma pratique plastique que dans celle des arts graphiques. Si mes peintures et mes bandes dessinées semblent avoir peu en commun, elles sont non seulement enchevêtrées, comme si de leur rencontre pouvait se révéler ce qui n’est jamais tout à fait dit ni dans les unes ni dans les autres, mais elles s’épanouissent d’autant dans leur métissage, dans leur complémentarité. J’aborde la bande dessinée sous le prisme de ses fonctions mémorielles et documentaires. Ma recherche trouve son origine dans le questionnement de l’histoire contemporaine du Cambodge, et plus particulièrement de ce temps privé d’images, de cette déchirure que constitue le génocide perpétré par les Khmers rouges. Génocide effacé, dont les conséquences post-traumatiques perdurent jusqu’à aujourd’hui. Malgré le travail de la justice, et la reconnaissance partielle obtenue récemment, le déni de sa réalité et de sa signification se prolonge. Ma démarche artistique et testimoniale traverse le champ et le hors-champ du traumatisme. Il est plus que jamais urgent de lutter contre l’abrasion de ce passé. J’ai engagé toute mon œuvre dans ce travail mémoriel, du fait de la relation intime que j’entretiens avec la tragédie cambodgienne. Si ma création s’inscrit dans les pratiques artistiques contemporaines de représentation, elle constitue également une contribution au livre ouvert de l’histoire du Cambodge. Pour l’Histoire, pour le peuple cambodgien, pour les générations futures. Elle est aussi un hommage à ceux qui ne sont plus làMy thesis aims at unveiling and analysing my creating process, whether it be in my visual artistic practice or in my graphic arts practice. Although my paintings and my graphic novels seem to have little in common, not only are they intertwined, as if from their encounter could be revealed what is never completely expressed neither in the former nor in the latter, but they are thriving all the more in their mixing and complementarity. My approach to graphic novel is considered through the lens of its memory and documentary functions. My research finds its origins in the questioning as regards the modern history of Cambodia, and more specifically this time deprived from images, this wrench caused by the genocide perpetrated by the Khmer Rouge. This genocide has been erased, and its post-traumatic consequences have lingered to this day. Despite the work of justice, and the partial recognition obtained recently, the denial of its reality and meaning is persisting. My artistic and memory approach reaches within and outside the scope of trauma. It is urgent, now more than ever, to combat this erasing from the past. Through my artwork, I have entered into this memory work, given the intimate relationship I have with the Cambodian tragedy. My creation is not only part of the modern artistic representation practices, but it is also contributing to the open book of the history of Cambodia. For the sake of History, for Cambodian people, for future generations. My creation is also a homage to those who are no longer here

Full textAbstract:
Sous l’ombre tutélaire des temples d’Angkor, les militaires français ont marqué de leur empreinte toute l’histoire du protectorat français au Cambodge. Nous avons décliné cette action sous trois aspects. Une action politique et diplomatique qui engerbe les problématiques liées au contexte cambodgien mais aussi celles des grands équilibres régionaux et internationaux. L’étude s’attache à discerner ce qui tient de l’engagement personnel des militaires et ce qui se réfère aux engagements politiques et diplomatiques du gouvernement français. Une action militaire qui a pour but de pacifier le Cambodge, de sauvegarder les intérêts français puis d’éviter l’invasion du pays par les forces communistes. Les méthodes et l’efficacité de l’outil militaire français dans ce contexte sont particulièrement analysées. Enfin, il s’agit d’analyser l’action des « militaires sans armes » : explorateurs, archéologues, ethnologues, écrivains etc., qui consolident le rôle de la France dans la reconstruction de l’identité khmère et affirment sa présence en Indochine. Une analyse prosopographique tente de discerner, pour chacun des militaires concernés, l’action qui peut s’expliquer comme une quête personnelle, voire intime, et celle qui tient de sa mission ou de l’œuvre collective. La nature du protectorat créé par les militaires français puis son évolution vers un modèle tendant à s’adapter aux invariants khmers et au contexte politique français est au coeur de cette étude. L’outil militaire français au Cambodge se dévoile ainsi à travers sa structuration, son fonctionnement et ses métamorphoses créant une situation coloniale singulière entre la France et le CambodgeUnder the protecting shadow of the Angkor temples, the French military have left their mark in the history of the French protectorate in Cambodia. We propose to portray this action from three different angles. A political and diplomatic action that embraces the questions related to the Cambodian context, and those related to the regional and international balance of powers. The study seeks to discern what pertains to the personal commitment of the military, and what refers to the political and diplomatic commitments of the French government. A military action that aims to pacify Cambodia, to safeguard the French interests, and to avoid the invasion of the country by the communist forces. The methods and effectiveness of the French military tool in this context are carefully analysed. Finally, the action of the "unarmed soldiers": explorers, archaeologists, ethnologists, writers, etc., who also played a key role in the reconstruction of the Khmer identity, and in reinforcing its presence in the French Indochina. A prosopographic analysis attempts to differentiate, for each of the soldiers involved, the action that can be explained as a personal and sometimes intimate quest, from the action that is part of his mission or that could be considered as the product of the collective work. The nature of the protectorate, created by the French military, and its evolution towards a model inclined to adapt itself to the Khmer invariants and to the French political context, are at the heart of this study. The French military tool in Cambodia is thus revealed through its structuring, functioning and metamorphosis creating an unusual colonial relationship between France and Cambodia

It also covers monuments of the neighbouring regions of Campa, Thailand, Java and Burma. Its purpose is to analyse the relationship between the shape of the superstructures and their building technique. It also invertigates the use of western vocabulary applied to hindu architecture.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation reports the results of a cross-sectional investigation into the bicultural identity and Khmer language competence of Cambodian refugees (N = 41) deported to Cambodia by the United States government for committing an aggravated felony. This group was expected to have been an Americanized group as most arrived to the US before age 12 (S. Keo, personal communication 12/29/2009) and to manifest high rates of psychopathology secondary to war trauma under the Khmer Rouge and stressors from violent, poor US communities where they grew up (Marshall, Schell, Elliott, Berthold, & Chun, 2005). Differences in individuals' well-being and reported growth following deportation were expected to correlate with reported integration of internal ethnic identities and competence in Khmer (Cambodian) language. Results indicate limited relationships between main variables. Implications for future research are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Le Phnom Kulen, éminence gréseuse à une trentaine de kilomètres au nord-est d'Angkor se caractérise par sa topographie et son réseau hydrographique. Il est la source des principaux cours d'eau irriguant la région. Les données épigraphiques et la présence d'un ensemble de monuments, indiquent que le plateau accueillit à l'aube du IX e siècle, l'une des capitales où s'établit Jayavarman II, fondateur de la royauté angkorienne. D'autres sites archéologiques, de nature et de fonction différentes, ont révélé une interprétation plus complète de l'occupation du massif, ne se développant pas uniquement autour des temples de cette capitale. Cette thèse propose une première étude diachronique de l'occupation du massif, depuis les premiers sites fondés à la seconde moitié du VII e siècle jusqu'aux vestiges postangkoriens. Reprenant l'ensemble des éléments épigraphiques et archéologiques issus d'un siècle de recherche, elle s'appuie sur la réalisation d'une nouvelle carte archéologique et sur les résultats d'opérations récentes, riches en nouveaux éléments. Cette étude démontre l'antériorité de certains sanctuaires au règne de Jayavarman II et révèle l'importance du temple-montagne du massif, régissant l'implantation de nombreux autres vestiges. L'identification d'un site d'habitat, très probablement palatial, et de structures hydrauliques d'envergure, contemporaines, confirme la présence de l'implantation du pouvoir royal. Enfin, cette recherche illustre l'apparition aux X e et XI e siècles des ermitages, nichés dans les abris rocheux. Cette tradition se poursuit à la période postangkorienne puis, jusqu'à nos jours, perpétuant singulièrement le particularisme sacré du Phnom KulenLocated 30 km north-east of Angkor, the sandstone mountain of Phnom Kulen is known for its particular topography and for being the source of many rivers in the region. Epigraphic data and the presence of numerous monuments indicate that the plateau of Phnom Kulen was the location of one of the capital of Jayavarman II, founder of the angkorian kingdom, at the beginning of the IXth century. Other archeological vestiges located on this plateau have allowed a better understanding of its occupation, not exclusively organized around the temples of the capital. This thesis offers a diachronic study of the occupation of this massif, from the first sites of the second part of the VIIth century to the remains of the postangkorian period. It revisits the epigraphic and archeological data gathered over a century and benefits from a new archeological map and recent and productive excavations. This study shows that some sanctuaries are anterior to the reign of Jayavarman II and reveals the importance of the « mountain-temple », around which numerous vestiges were to be located. The presence of a powerful settlement is evidenced by the habitat, most likely palatial and important contemporaneous hydraulic structures. Later, over the Xth and XIth centuries, hermits were occupying this mountain's rock shelters. This became a tradition during the postangkorian period and continues today, illustrating the sacred nature of the Phnom Kulen

Full textAbstract:
Lorsqu'en 1917 le peintre George Groslier (1887·1945) répond au souhait des autorités coloniales de créer à Phnom Penh une école d'art, il propose un vaste programme de«rénovation des arts cambodgiens». S'il définit ceux-ci comme étant «universels», pratiqués par tous, du paysan à l'artiste du Palais, les arts qu'il entend « rénover» sont pourtant ceux qui de tout temps, ont été l'apanage du Palais. Le «Service des arts cambodgiens» qu'il dirige dès 1919 conserve, reformule et exalte un art d’origine palatiale qu'aucune disposition idéologique ne le destinait à promouvoir. Cette étude s'attache à comprendre les modalités de la reprise d'une prérogative royale au profit de l'entreprise coloniale française et entend démontrer que si l'entreprise de Groslier semble marquée de l'empreinte de sa «doctrine», elle s'insère dans faisceau d'initiatives françaises et cambodgiennes qui invitent à relativiser sa singularité. L'étude de l'histoire du Service des arts, observatoire de l'action coloniale de la France au Cambodge, révèle la place centrale du patrimoine khmer dans les relations entre l'administration coloniale et les élites cambodgiennes, avant comme après l'indépendance. Dans la définition qu'en donne Groslier convergent le système de légitimation de l'aristocratie fondé sur le retour à l'âge d'or angkorien, et la mission civilisatrice française qui se vit en protecteur d'un peuple khmer déchu depuis la fin d'Angkor. Cette convergence empiriquement saisie par le premier administrateur colonial né au Cambodge éclaire en grande partie la portée de son action culturelle et sa postéritéWhen in 1917 the painter George Groslier (1887-1945) responds to the wish of the colonial authorities to create a school of art in Phnom Penh, he proposes a vast program of ''restoration of the Cambodian arts". If he defines those as “universal”, being practised by all, from the peasant to the artist of the Palace, the arts he intends to "renovate" are however those that have always been the prerogative of the Palace. The "Service des arts cambodgiens" that he directs by 1919 preserves, reformulates and exalts an art of palatial origin that no ideological provision intended him to promote. This study attempts to understand the terms of the resumption of a royal prerogative to the benefit of the French colonial initiative and intends to demonstrate that if Groslier's action seems marked with the imprint of his “doctrine”, it is part of a set of initiatives both French and Cambodian that invite us to relativize its singularity. The study of the history of the Service des arts, observatory of the colonial action of France in Cambodia, reveals the central place of the Khmer heritage in the relations between the colonial administration and the Cambodian elites, before as well as after independence. In Groslier’s definition, the system of legitimation of the aristocracy based on the return of the Angkorian golden age converges with the French civilizing mission, which lives as a protector of Khmer people, fading away since the fall of Angkor. This convergence, empirically seized by the first colonial administrator born in Cambodia mainly clarifies the scope of its cultural action and its posterity

Full textAbstract:
Le Nord-Ouest du Cambodge est le théâtre d'un important processus d'expansion agraire depuis les plaines rizicoles centrales du pays vers ses marges. Ce mouvement est remarquable pour la rapidité et l'ampleur des transformations spatiales qu'il engendre. Il a en particulier mené à une dynamique de déforestation massive depuis une quinzaine d'années dans la région, associée au développement de cultures commerciales (manioc et maïs). L'objectif général de ce travail est de comprendre la place des paysanneries dans ce processus de colonisation agricole ; c'est-à-dire sa situation par rapport aux logiques de restructuration et de contrôle de l'espace et de la production agricole au sein des nouveaux systèmes agraires post-forestiers qui émergent. Notre intérêt se porte sur la nature des relations entre les paysanneries et l'État en construction dans cet espace disputé. Le Nord-Ouest du Cambodge est en effet le cadre d'un jeu d'acteurs dominé par les luttes pour le territoire national qui opposent l’État actuel moderne et les réminiscences de l’État des Khmers Rouges. Historiquement, l'accès à la terre et aux ressources qu'elle contient est au cœur de l'exercice du pouvoir dans la région. L'opposition entre ces deux formes d’État se matérialise aujourd'hui également dans les luttes et négociations pour le contrôle de l'accès à la terre ; tandis que l'une maîtrise l'accès réel à la terre (les ex-Khmers Rouges), l'autre est en charge officiellement de la définition des règles de la propriété (l’État moderne). Nous adoptons dès lors une perspective centrée sur les rapports entre acteurs qui luttent pour l'accès à la terre afin de comprendre comment les relations entre les paysanneries et l’État polymorphe participent à construire l'autorité de cet État et à transformer la société rurale. L'angle d'analyse est rendu opérationnel par l'adoption d'une double perspective focalisée sur les pratiques réelles de l'accès à la terre : le contrôle direct de l'accès à la terre par les élites en place, et le contrôle indirect. Le premier se matérialise par les multiples contrats/arrangement relatifs à l'accès à la terre, formels ou informels, qui lient les paysanneries aux élites rurales. Le second se manifeste sous forme de l'instrumentalisation que font ces élites des transformations dans les processus de travail que connaissent les paysanneries (marchandisation du travail, développement du salariat agricole et des migrations de travail) du fait de l'intégration croissante de la région à une agriculture organisée de façon capitaliste. Les résultats montrent que les paysanneries sont profondément divisées face à ce jeu d'acteurs qui définit les contours d'une économie politique post-conflit très singulière. Plus encore, les paysanneries nous apparaissent instrumentalisées par les élites rurales au travers des multiples formes de contrôle de l'accès à la terre.Doctorat en Sciences

Full textAbstract:
Pour aborder la traduction des expressions idiomatiques (EI) en contexte, nous nous sommes situés dans un cadre de communication. Notre travail est parti du constat suivant : au Cambodge, il existe toujours une idée reçue selon laquelle une EI est systématiquement traduite par une EI, une formulation idiomatique ou une correspondance préétablie. Cette tendance s’explique par le souci de la correspondance stylistique. Or, dans les emplois associés à des vouloir-dire différents, nous supposons qu’une EI donne lieu à des traductions différentes. Le présent travail vise à la fois à réfuter cette idée reçue et à vérifier l’universalité de la théorie interprétative, source des stratégies applicables à la traduction en général, y compris celle des EI du français à la langue khmère. Celle-ci est beaucoup moins habituée à l’usage des EI dans les documents écrits que le français. Pour atteindre l’objectif fixé, nous nous sommes fondés en particulier sur la théorie interprétative, la théorie du skopos et l’analyse de discours. Dix EI, classées de la plus à la moins transparente, dans cent extraits dont la grande majorité tirée de journaux, ont été passées au crible pour, dans un premier temps, appréhender le sens, trouver des rapprochements et des nuances de sens de la même EI et, dans un deuxième temps, proposer une traduction adaptée. Suite aux constats découlant de cet exercice, un ensemble de recommandations est proposé afin de contribuer à la remise en cause des méthodes de traduction au CambodgeTo examine the translation of idiomatic expressions (IE) in context, we set our study within the framework of communication. Our work has started from the following observation : in Cambodia, there’s always a misconception according to which an IE is systematically translated by an IE, an idiomatic phrase or a pre-established correspondence. This tendency is explained by the concern of stylistic correspondence. And yet, in the uses associated to different meanings, we suppose that an IE comes to different translations. The present work aims both at disproving this misconception and confirming the universality of the interpretative theory, source of the strategies applicable to all translations, including translating IE from French into Khmer language. IE are much less used in written documents in Khmer than in French. To reach our purpose, we have based our study on the interpretative theory, the SkoposTheory and discourse analysis in particular. Ten IE, classified from the less to the more transparent, in one hundred extracts mainly taken out from newspapers, were first analysed to understand the meaning, find connections and nuances of meaning of the same IE, and subsequently to suggest adequate translations. Following the assessments resulting from this exercise, a set of recommendations has been proposed in order to contribute to the questioning of the translation methods in Cambodia

Full textAbstract:
Les statues en ronde-bosse du Buddha khmer, exécutées entre le XIIIe et le XVIe siècle, expriment des pratiques religieuses bien spécifiques, sont marquées du sceau de la tradition angkorienne et révèlent la sensibilité des échanges artistiques avec les pays voisins. Elles sont ainsi le reflet des diverses élaborations et des différents rôles qu’elles ont joué. Un corpus raisonné de deux cent trente-huit statues du Buddha travaillées dans la pierre, le bois et le bronze, issues de plusieurs collections muséales, de collections privées ou de découvertes restées in situ, aide à retracer l’évolution de la production artistique dans le royaume khmer durant cette période. Les principaux résultats de ce travail apportent de nouvelles explications autour de l’idée d’une prise et occupation d’Angkor par Ayutthaya et d’un déplacement du centre politique de la région d’Angkor vers la région des Quatre BrasImages of Khmer Buddha executed between the 13th and c. 16th CE demonstrate specific religious practice, continuity of the Angkorian tradition, and artistic exchange with bordering countries. Together, they also reveal transformations in the form, definition and role of Buddhist sculpture in Cambodia. An annotated corpus of 238 Buddha images in stone, wood, and bronze from several museum and private collections, and in situ, assist in the reconstruction of changes to artistic production in the Khmer kingdom during this period. The principal results of this work provide new interpretations about the Ayutthyan invasion and occupation at Angkor, and resettlement of the Angkorian political centre in the Quatre Bras region

Full textAbstract:
Organisation religieuse et profane du temple khmer du VII e au XIII e siècle Depuis le XIXe siècle, les temples khmers ont suscité nombre de questions qui demeurent d’actualité, et celle de leur fonctionnement n’est pas la moins fascinante. En effet, le caractère monumental de ces fondations suggère qu’il y régnait une activité incessante et diversifiée, à l’image de celle de leurs équivalents indiens encore en culte aujourd’hui. C’est à cette réalité de la vie des sanctuaires préangkoriens et angkoriens que cette étude est consacrée. Cette thèse est fondée sur une approche archéologique visant à identifier les activités équipées de ces temples. Cependant, le caractère précieux, recyclable ou périssable des biens des dieux rend leur découverte assez rare. Cette étude a donc principalement recours aux sources épigraphiques en khmer, qui livrent de longues énumérations d’objets. Ces listes sont appréhendées sous deux angles complémentaires. En premier lieu, elles livrent les inventaires d’un patrimoine qui était soigneusement décrit afin de faciliter sa gestion et sa protection. Numération, matériaux, décors, provenances et poids sont donc présentés comme autant de moyens permettant d’estimer la valeur de ces biens et de faciliter leur identification. D’autre part, les ustensiles de culte qui sont mentionnés témoignent des rites célébrés dans les temples. Cette étude les rassemble et les ordonne à la lumière des traités de rituel indiens, dont l’influence sur le culte khmer est bien établie. Enfin, cette recherche a impliqué l’étude d’inscriptions khmères inédites qui ne se limitent pas à l’énumération de biens manufacturés. Elles sont l’occasion de donner un aperçu de l’ensemble des biens des dieux et d’aborder d’autres aspects du fonctionnement des sanctuairesAs from the 19th century, Khmer temples have raised a number of questions that are still of interest today, and how they functioned is not the least fascinating of them all. The monumental features and sizes of these foundations suggest that they housed continuous and diverse activities, similar to those of their Indian equivalents that are still active today. This study is especially concerned with the daily activities that went on from preangkorian to angkorian times. This thesis is based on an archaeological approach that aims at identifying the activities and celebrations conducted in these temples from the implements that they required. Nevertheless, the precious, recyclable or perishable nature of what belonged to the gods makes their discovery extremely rare. As a consequence, the sources of this study are essentially epigraphic Khmer documents that list long records of items. These lists are considered from two complementary angles. They first consist in a heritage that was carefully described not only to make it easier to use but also to protect it. How they are numbered, what they are composed of and how much they weigh are therefore a number of means to estimate how much they are worth and how to identify them. Furthermore, the objects used during the celebrations give an insight into the rites that were conducted in these temples. This study aims at putting them together as well as organizing them in the light of Indian ritual directions since their influence on Khmer religious celebrations are well-known. Finally, this research has lead to studying yet unpublished inscriptions which are not limited to listing manufactured goods. They give an insight into all that belonged to the gods and to tackle different ways in which these sanctuaries functioned

L'ensemble des travaux traite d'une part de la litterature khmere de l'epoque "moyenne" des xve-xixe siecles et d'autre part des ecrivains et des expressions litteraires du cambodge au xxe siecle. Il comprend des textes en khmer, des traductions et des etudes. Un essai de classification de la litterature de cette epoque "moyenne" est developpe selon la taxonomie cambodgienne. Par contre en ce qui concerne la litterature moderne et contemporaine, cette classification est faite selon les criteres de la litterature francaise. Les principales formes, les differents genres et leur evolution dans le temps, ainsi que les themes majeurs de la production litteraire khmere ont ete presentes dans ces travauxAs a whole, these works investagete comprehensively khmer literature of the "middle period" (15th to 19th century) on one hand, and twentieth century cambodia's writers and literary expressions on the other. They include texts in khmer, translations and studies. They adopt cambodian taxonomy in attempting to undertake a classification of the literature of the middle period, while conversely applying french literary criteria to the categorization of cambodian modern and contemporary literature. In the process, they expose the main forms, the different genres and their evolution through time, as wall as the major themes of khmer literary production

Full textAbstract:
Le Cambodge, petit pays d’Asie du Sud-Est correspond à l’une des nations les plus pauvres de la planète. Pourtant le pays demeure très riche sur le plan patrimonial, notamment dans la province de Siem Reap, berceau des temples d’Angkor. Ces vestiges archéologiques classés sur la liste du patrimoine mondial, fierté du peuple khmer attire chaque année près de 2 millions de visiteurs. Cette province du Cambodge est devenue alors en l’espace d’une vingtaine d’années la province la plus dynamique du pays sur le plan économique et attire des migrants en provenance des autres provinces du Cambodge. Pourtant malgré ce dynamisme, la province de Siem Reap demeure la plus pauvre du pays en termes de développement humain. Devons nous déduire que, dans le cas de pays en développement touchés par une pauvreté extrême, un territoire devenu subitement très attractif grâce à un secteur pourvoyeur d’emplois et susceptible de rapporter (pour certains) des salaires conséquents, engendre une misère plus grande encore que celle existant dans les provinces et les régions d’où proviennent les migrants ? Le tourisme de masse est-il responsable de ce phénomène de paupérisation ? Le tourisme durable peut-il renverser cette tendance ?Cambodia, is a small country in South East Asia and one of the poorest nations on earth. Yet the country is still very rich in terms of heritage, particularly in the province of Siem Reap, home of Angkor temples. These archaeological place is the pride of the Khmer people and UNESCO declared Angkor a world heritage site in 1994. Each year nearly 2 million tourists visit this part of Cambodia. After the end of Khmers rouges régime and civil war, Siem Reap province has become the most dynamic province in the country and attracts migrants from other provinces of Cambodia. Yet despite this dynamism, Siem Reap province is still the poorest in terms of human development. How can we explain this paradox? Mass tourism can be responsible about this phenomenon of extreme poverty? Sustainable tourism and responsible tourism can be an answer to reduce this poverty?
