Diplômé du collège de Harvard, Professeur à l'Université de Georgetown et longtemps Professeur émérite à l'Université Monash à Melbourne, ce chercheur, de nationalité américaine et australienne, khmérophone, hispanophone et… francophone, s'est imposé, à la suite de Paul Mus sous la direction duquel il travailla durant ses études à l'Université de Yale, comme l'un des spécialistes de l'Histoire contemporaine de l'Asie du Sud-Est. Depuis 1970, il consacre ses recherches à l'histoire sociale de la Thaïlande et de l'Indonésie, mais c'est incontestablement sur le Cambodge que son travail - remarquable - fait autorité. On lui doit de nombreuses publications sur l'histoire récente de ce pays parmi lesquelles The Land and People of Cambodia (Harper Collins) ; A History of Cambodia, (Boulder, CO, Westview Press); The Tragedy of Cambodia History : Politics War and Revolution since 1945, (Yale University Press) ; Voices from S-21 : Terror and History in Pol Pot's Secret Prison (University of California Press)…Une œuvre dense qui reste malheureusement insuffisamment traduite en français, à l'exception de Pol Pot : frère numéro 1 publié par Plon en 1993 et déjà épuisé, et de S-21 ou Le crime impuni des Khmers rouges publié en 2002 aux éditions Autrement.
Ses contributions à diverses encyclopédies, ses articles publiés au sein de revues spécialisées dont il fait souvent partie du conseil scientifique, ses préfaces aux ouvrages d'autres auteurs, sont par ailleurs innombrables. De manière particulière, la publication en août dernier à Phnom Penh par le Centre des Etudes Khmères (C.K.S) de la version khmère de son History of Cambodia a constitué l'un des principaux événements éditoriaux de ces dernières années au Cambodge ...

JEUDI 8 et VENDREDI 9 JUIN
AU CENTRE CULTUREL FRANCAIS
Thursday, 8 June and Friday, 9 June at CCF
exposition
Paris, périphérie,
par Tadashi ONO
> Jeudi 8 juin - 18h30 / Thursday, 8 June - 6.30pm
> Hall du CCF. / French Cultural Center
Après l'exposition " Phnom Penh, périphérie " d'Anne-Marie Filaire à l'automne dernier, le CCF accueille aujourd'hui un travail photographique réalisé dans la banlieue parisienne. Cet immense territoire périphérique compte plus de 5 millions d'habitants, soit le double de la ville de Paris elle-même. Tadashi Ono, photographe japonais, est l'un d'entre eux.
Il aime ce territoire ; il a donc choisi d'y vivre et de le décrire. Pour lui, ce paysage, exclu de l'imagerie " carte postale " du centre-ville, en apparence banal et austère, a quelque chose de franc. A l'instar de certains photographes du 19ème siècle qui ont fixé sur pellicule le Paris des quartiers populaires, il essaie simplement, un peu comme le ferait un relevé topographique, de traduire l'espace de la banlieue par sa description précise, en nous proposant quatre axes de réflexion : le nom des rues, la référence au centre-ville symbolisée ici par la Tour Eiffel, la place de l'arbre et celles des espèces botaniques en friche.
A la suite de Phnom Penh, cette exposition sera accueillie en octobre 2006 au Musée national d'art moderne de Tokyo.
conférence
Paris et la photographie, une histoire partagée,
par Tadashi ONO
> Vendredi 9 juin - 18h30 / Friday, 9 June - 6.30pm
> Cinéma du CCF / French Cultural Center
Paris est une ville qui occupe une place particulière dans l'histoire de la photographie.
Depuis l'annonce de l'invention de la photographie à l'Académie des sciences à Paris en 1839, cette ville est restée un terrain exceptionnel pour la création photographique tout au long des 19ème et 20ème siècles. Les images de Paris s'accumulent, se stratifient et deviennent la mémoire de la ville même. Elles reflètent ainsi à la fois l'histoire de la photographie et celle de la ville.
En revoyant des images célèbres et méconnues, historiques et contemporaines, cette conférence tente de redessiner un portrait de Paris à travers les œuvres de nombreux photographes (Nadar, E-D. Baldus, C. Marville, E. Atget, J-H. Lartigue, A. Kertész, Brassaï, H. Cartier-Bresson, R. Doisneau, R. Frank, L. Friedlander, A. Gursky, J-L. Moulène etc.)
