Subject: Invitation to Conference in Phnom Penh
To:
hshhpp@gmail.com This is an open invitation to attend a forthcoming conference in Phnom Penh. There is no registration fee. RSVP to save a place at the symposium. This is also the final call for papers if you wish to present at the conference, Send abstract by December 5 to mgilbert@hpu.edu.
Conference Announcement: Cambodia and World History/World History and Cambodia, January 3-4, 2010, Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
The second "Cambodia and World History/World History and Cambodia" conference will be hosted by Pannasastra University of Cambodia in Phnom Penh, January 3-4, 2010. The first symposium, held in January 2009, attracted scholars from Britain, Thailand, and the United States who engaged in lively discussions with their counterparts at Pannasastra University and the Royal University of Cambodia.
This year's program will similarly be devoted to generating dialog among scholars within and outside of Cambodia about Cambodia's place in World History. It also seeks to stimulate discussion of world history methodology and those world history processes that have application to the Cambodian past. Further, it will examine the possible role world history can play in framing pre- and post-conflict Cambodian history and thus aid in the development of Cambodia's educational establishment at all levels of instruction.
Among the topics that may be addressed at the symposium are: the nature of world history; the processes of indigenization; localization, and syncretism in Cambodian history; the decline and fall of classical societies; Diaspora and gender studies; the colonial experience; nationalism; post-conflict studies; trade, religion and culture in Cambodia, regional questions in global perspective; borderlands; regionalism and regional diplomatic relations; investment, tourism and resource management issues; the environment; comparative genocide; and models for World History and global studies in Cambodia both in terms of scholarship and instruction. These topics are examples only and should not be taken to exclude proposals on other topics.
A working dinner meeting will be held on Sunday, January 3,, with an all-day conference on Monday, January 4, which will follow an all-plenary roundtable format, with all participants attending consecutive one hour-long sessions held throughout the day (with a break for lunch), followed by a working farewell dinner. The sessions will be organized around topically grouped presentations limited to 10-15 minutes each to encourage discussion. It is not expected that formal papers will be read. These presentations can, however, form the basis for publication in a contemplated volume or as part of a forum or individual articles in the journal World History Connected.
The symposium is sponsored by Teachers Across Borders, Inc. (TAB), a non-profit international educational organization. The conference serves as the first of a series of TAB annual activities in Cambodia designed to further Cambodia's national educational goals.
TAB programs are open to all. There is no registration fee and it is not necessary to make a presentation to participate in this dialog. There is, however, no honorarium for travel or housing.
Individual presentations as well as an entire panel may be submitted for inclusion in the program. Please send a brief vita with full contact information and a brief abstract to the program chair. Those who plan to attend the symposium, but not make a presentation, should inform the program chair of their plans for logistical purposes (room seating, etc.).
The program chair is Professor Marc Jason Gilbert, National Endowment for the Humanities Endowed Chair in World History, College of Humanities and Social Sciences, Hawaii Pacific University, 1188 Fort Street Mall, Honolulu, Hawaii 96813. Phone: 808-544-1169; E-mail: mgilbert@hpu.edu.
Tentative Schedule:
Participants will gather for transportation to a working dinner on Sunday evening (exact time to be arranged), January 3 in the lobby of the Goldiana Hotel, near the conference venue, which offers substantial discounts for Teachers Across Borders activities) For reservations, go to http://www.goldiana.com/pp/goldiana_hotel.htm. Merely mention you are with Teachers Across Borders. Other inexpensive hotels are close by.
At 8:30 a.m. Monday morning, January 4, participants will gather in the lobby of the Goldiana for transportation to symposium's venue at the nearby South Campus of Pannasastra University of Cambodia Campus (in the "NGO" zone, about 2k from the city center--see http://www.puc.edu.kh/), not the central campus near the National Museum. Pannasastra is a large, English-medium, multi-campus institution and among the region's premier universities. Participants making their own way to the campus should check in at the Central Office on the Second Floor of the South Campus main building to the right at the top of the main staircase.

Nicolas Axelrod - Children of Cambodia - Opening Night this Friday
Dear friends
Cafe Living Room would like to invite you to the first of two special
photography exhibitions we are holding during Photo Phnom Penh.
Nicolas Axelrod - Children of Cambodia
Opening Night Event, Friday 27th November 7:00pm - Cafe Living Room,
#9, Street 306, Phnom Penh
Nicolas Axelrod settled in Cambodia in 2008 to work as a freelance
photographer. Amazed by the beauty of Khmer culture and way of life,
he was equally drawn to the changes and growth that we can witness in
Cambodia's everyday life.
Intrigued by these transformations, his personal work has been
directed at documenting Cambodia's evolution. As part of this process
he has focused his photography on the new generation of Khmers,
concentrating on those who have been left behind in these times of
rapid change. Documenting both rural and urban youth as they work,
live, learn and play.
Nicolas' show 'Children of Cambodia' was recently displayed in
Lausanne, Switzerland, at Gallery Black and White. This will be the
first time this series is exhibited in Cambodia.

CHANGE OF DATE !!! Next HSHH: 15 December, NOT 16 December !
Dear HSHH friends,
Some changes for our next Human Sciences Happy Hour meeting !
Since the "Southeast Asian Cultural Values : Cultural Industry" organised by the Royal Academy in Cambodia will be held in Siem Reap from December 17, we thought it was time to move our HSHH date so that participants could reach Siem Reap on the 16th.
So, our meeting won't happen on Wednesday December 16 as announced earlier, but on:
Tuesday December 15 – 6pm – Baitong Restaurant
(7 st 360, near Beung Keng Kang market)
Contact:
Emiko Stock & Pascale Hancart-Petitet
012 521 093 – 092 399 273
hshhpp@gmail.com
We'll have the pleasure to see how anthropology and health can meet in research with
Pascale Hancart-Petitet:
Social Construction and Social Production of Abortion. Insights from Cambodia.
In Cambodia, despite the implementation of governmental reproductive health care activities since 1994, contraception prevalence rate remains very low. Many women undergo chemical or mechanical abortion. Indeed, abortion has been legalized in Cambodia in 1997; however there is a lack of awareness regarding the legality of abortion and a lack of provision of safe abortion services. Unsafe abortion remains one of the most common causes of maternal death. Thus, we may wonder why, how and to which extends cultural values, gender norms, social organization of care and political will to tackle the problem head-on as well as individual experiences and attitudes regarding unwanted pregnancies shape abortion practices. We will investigate those issues in cross-crossing various perspectives levels. Firstly, we will give some historical elements related to abortion legalization and policies in Cambodia. Secondly, we will analyze how social organization of care shapes legal and illegal abortion practices. Thirdly, we will describe determining factors that lead women to seek abortion. Finally, we will investigate how abortion event makes sense in their reproductive lives. Thus, our findings may raise relevant issues for public health perspective, provide mirrored views on Cambodian Contemporary Society as well as bring various theoretical insights for anthropology.
Pascale Hancart Petitet is an anthropologist, research fellow at the Centre de Recherche Cultures, Santé, Societies (CReCSS), Universite Paul Cézanne, Aix-Marseille III, France. Previously, she has been involved during eight years in humanitarian projects (in Mauritania, Angola, Pakistan and Afghanistan) mostly focused on maternal and child health issues. Her works and publications mainly concern the social construction of birth practices at the time of AIDS in India including the volume Maternités en Inde du Sud (2008), issued from her PhD, and various chapter related to birth in Himalaya, Mother to child transmission of HIV, Birth rites, and the knowledge and practices of traditional birth attendants in Southern India. Since january 2008, her research focus onpolitics of reproduction in Cambodia.

"THE RAPE OF NANKING": THE DARKEST CHAPTER IN HISTORY
Don't miss this great documentary filmed in High Definition! IRIS CHANG
(2007, 135 min) by US filmmakers William Spahic and Anne Pick is about a
young woman's journey to bring one of the darkest chapters of history to
light. In 1937, the invading Japanese army murdered over 200,000 and raped
tens of thousands of Chinese. In 1997, American-Chinese writer Iris Chang
authored and published "The Rape of Nanking - The Forgotten Holocaust of
World War II" based on her parents' firsthand experiences and profound
research. Until her death due to suicide in 2004, Iris was always an
unflinching fighter for justice, truth and human rights.

largest internal migration in American history. Along the way they witness
the loss, dignity, perseverance and humor of people who have become exiles

citizens, the influence of race, class, and gender form the backdrop for
this universal story of the search for home. (2007, 85mins). Also screening:
The feature "UN HABITAT", produced by Cambodian Equity TV.

"A MOMENT IN JUNE":
IMPRESSIVE CROSSOVER OF CINEMA & STAGE
New Queer Cinema @ Meta House, recommended by film expert and
"Q-Film-Festival"-maker John Badalu: Beautifully composed and shot in sultry
colours, A MOMENT IN JUNE is steeped in the nostalgia of memory and of '70s
Thailand. Director O Nathaporn draws on his theater experience to devise an
impressive crossover of cinema and stage through a play-within-a-film (2008,
106mins). Set in 1999, it focuses on a theater director who's staging a play
about a love triangle that's set in 1972 in Bangkok. At the same time, he's
going through a breakup with his boyfriend. Reality and the stage play, and
the time between the decades artfully fold into each other.
SUN, 22/11, 7 PM
IN MEMORY OF JOHN F. KENNEDY: "EXECUTIVE ACTION"
Today, 36 years ago, U.S. President John F. Kennedy was murdered. EXECUTIVE
ACTION (91mins) is an excellent 1973 feature film about his assassination,
written by Dalton Trumbo, Donald Freed and Mark Lane. Despite many
similarities with the plotline of Oliver Stone's "JFK", it presents a far
more direct and unemotional account of the Kennedy assassination than
Stone's film. The film was made in an almost documentary style, with the
presence of two big Hollywood names, Robert Ryan and Burt Lancaster. As a
cinematic appetizer we are also screening "Nov. 22 1963: In Search of
Answers" featuring interviews with cast and crew of this film.

Dear Meta House Friends!
Tonite FRI, 13/11, 7 PM, we like to invite you to "WHO MOVES PHNOM PENH?":
Media
students from the Department of Media and Communication (DMC) at the Royal
University of Phnom Penh present their new short film series "WHO MOVES PHNOM
PENH?". Who are the people that make the capital city work, and what's
their daily
life like behind the scenes? See how city workers tackle rising levels of
garbage,
how a ladyboy finds recognition through his job or how tourists turn into
volunteer
workers. The 22 mini documentaries take you amongst construction workers,
to the
kitchen of noodle makers, or into the middle of a traditional Khmer boxing
practice
session (2009, 70 mins). Filmmakers will be present at the screening (Q&A).

CHILD SOLDIERS, DMC STUDENTS, MESSENGER BAND @ META HOUSE
Dear META HOUSE FRIENDS,
Please be our guest for tonite's first screening of "LOST CHILDREN"
(Tuesday, 7PM) – the award-winning documentary about child soldiers in
Uganda. Filmmakers Ali Samadi Ahadi and Oliver Stoltz observe children who
escaped the bush camps of Ugandan rebels to document what happens when they
try to reintegrate into their clans. Because both directors were confronted
with war during their childhoods, they have purposely chosen to tell the
story from a child's perspective (2005, 98mins).
Also screening: "ON THE MOVE" by Cambodian media students Tiep Seiha and
Meas Roth documents a trip to Germany and the Netherlands, where Khmer
students learn about the German genocide.

This is our program for the coming nights @ Meta House:
* Friday, 7 PM, we are proud to screen "WHO MOVES PHNOM PENH?": Media
students from the Department of Media and Communication (DMC) at the Royal
University of Phnom Penh present their new short film series. 22 mini
documentaries take you amongst construction workers, to the kitchen of
noodle makers, or into the middle of a traditional Khmer boxing practice
session (2009, 70 mins). Filmmakers will be present at the screening (Q&A).
* Saturday, 7 PM, the MESSENGER BAND presents "LAND LOST, CULTURE LOST".
Former garment factory workers are singing "a-capella" about pressing social
issues. Tonight's live performance, music videos (featuring the blind Chapei
star Kong Nai) and Q&A with the artists is followed by the innovative
community video project "LAND LOST CULTURE LOST". The film tells the story
of a land dispute in Ratanakkiri though the eyes of ethnic Jarai villagers
from one of Cambodia's remotest areas. It's shot by the villagers and
screened in the original version with English subtitles.
* On Sunday, 6 PM, we are hosting a SPECIAL CHARITY ART AUCTION with
original works by German artist Herbert Mueller. The revenues will support a
project for children in Kandal province and Cambodian students from the
faculty of Medicine.
The auction is followed by the film "KANDAHAR" (2001, 82 min). It serves as
a timely memorial to the brutality of the Taliban regime. When a woman
receives a letter from her sister in Afghanistan which makes her think that
she is going to kill herself, she sets off on a perilous journey to the
country in search of her sibling.
