Dating temple architecture: William Southworth

Wednesday, January 24th, 2007

Lundi 29 janvier 2007 / Monday 29th of January 2007
Vous êtes cordialement invités à la présentation informelle,
You are cordially invited to attend the following informal presentation
Dating temples in Southeast Asia
William SOUTHWORTH
Postdoctoral Research Fellow,
International Institute of Asian Studies, Leiden University

The talk will examine the different methods used for dating temple architecture, including the use of historical analogy, epigraphy, art history, architecture and archaeology. The talk will illustrate both the advantages and disadvantages of each approach, with examples taken from the study of ancient Champa, Java and Cambodia. The purpose of the discussion will be to show both the problems of temple dating and the advantages of a multi-disciplinary approach in solving questions of chronology.

Dr William Southworth is a graduate in Southeast Asian Studies from the University of Hull in the United Kingdom. He completed an MA in Archaeology at the School of Oriental and African Studies, London, in 1991 and a PhD on the origins of Champa in 2001. Between 1999 and 2002 he worked for the Centre of Khmer Studies in Siem Reap, and has since taught at the University of Bonn. He is currently involved in a project on early temple architecture in Cambodia with the University of Leiden.

J’ai cru aux Khmers rouges

Friday, January 19th, 2007
CCF Event
Rencontre avec Monsieur Ong Thong Hoeung, auteur du témoignage paru aux éditions Buchet-Chastel en 2003.
Jeudi 25 janvier 2007 à 18h30
Centre Culturel Français (salle de cinéma)
La rencontre sera suivie d’un cocktail au Café du Centre
En avril 1975, les Khmers rouges prenaient le pouvoir à Phnom Penh. Nombreux furent ceux qui applaudirent alors. Parmi eux, des Cambodgiens expatriés en France, étudiants, anciens fonctionnaires, etc.… Ong Thong Hoeung était de ceux-là.

En juillet 1976, il quitte Paris, où il suivait des études, pour rentrer au pays. Comme la plupart de ses amis, il espère alors pouvoir se mettre au service d’un pays libéré. Mais à leur arrivée, ceux qu’on appelle « étrangers » sont aussitôt dirigés vers un camp de rééducation. Le rêve tourne au cauchemar… C’est le récit bouleversant de cette traversée de l’enfer, son expérience personnelle et littéraire, que l’auteur abordera lors de cette rencontre avec le public.

ONG Thong Hoeung est né au Cambodge en 1945. Il arrive à Paris en 1965 pour suivre des études d’économie politique. En 1970, il rejoint le Front uni national du Kampuchea, constitué à l’appel du Prince Sihanouk. Rentré au pays en 1976, jusqu’à la défaite des Khmers rouges, il perdra durant cette période les deux tiers de sa famille.
Après avoir travaillé comme archiviste au Musée de Tuol Sleng, il s’installera définitivement en Belgique en 1982.
