Nang Magazine, une revue en 10 numéros consacrée au cinéma en Asie. Le premier numéro vient de paraître : il est dédié au scénario avec des extraits et des entretiens.

Nang Magazine, no. 1: Screenwriting

Guest editor: Ben Slater

“Our intention is to shed light on an area of filmmaking that is both mysterious and marginalized, especially in regards to cinema in Asia. While the films may be famous or successful, the writers remain in the background, and yet their work is vital to the process of creating cinema. Through a series of often in-depth interviews with 13 writers and writer-directors from Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Malaysia, Thailand and Iran, we encounter myriad writing experiences, methods for developing stories, and discover the ways in which screenwriters survive and endure within their film industries. Rarely seen pages from the screenplays of, among others, Laskar Pelangi, Tropical Malady, The Handmaiden, Shahrzad and Unlucky Plaza further enrich this unique exploration into writing for the screen.”

Queer Southeast Asia, no. 1

“Queer Southeast Asia is a literary journal of transgressive art. It provides a platform for creative works engendered in differently reimagining Southeast Asia. Issues are released on-line and in print thrice a year.”

“This curatorial literary project comes out in a time of continuous and emerging efforts of fighting for LGBTIQ rights in Southeast Asia and after the groundbreaking legalization of same-sex marriage in the US that has effected more resounding trivialized and dogmatized modes of speaking about homosexuality in the region, often climaxing to a decentered view of homosexuality, i.e. away from same-sex desire. While it is true that this “homosexual turn” is generative in ways that provide chances for homosexuals to claim their identity no matter how constrained, the vigilance in the region to persecute homosexuals is still, and shamelessly apparent. Moreover, this spirited undertaking is geared up to queer Southeast Asia, which means to deploy determined resistance against normalized regimes of power that roguishly transform defiant or non-conformist behaviors into manipulatable characterological types misleadingly collectivized and pathologized as “gay lifestyle.”

“Works by Khairani Barokka, Nuril Basri, John H. McGlynn, Jee Leong Koh, Alwynn C. Javier, Paul Dominic B. Olinares, Lawrence L. Ypil, Gino Dizon, Danton Remoto, Jeffrey Yap Pascual, Leon Wing, Wilfredo Pascual, Nimruz De Castro, Vina Jie-Min Prasad & Gian Cruz.”

“New Singaporean graphic novel tackles hot button topic of immigration”by Vanessa Tai, 27/09/2016, Today

“The Garden of Foolish Indulgences is a graphic novel written by Oh Yong Hwee and illustrated by Koh Hong Teng, who last worked together on Ten Sticks and One Rice, which was published by Epigram Books in 2012.

The duo spent two years working on The Garden of Foolish Indulgences, which is based on a 2011 academic essay, Rambutans in the Picture: Han Wai Toon and Overseas Chinese Space in Singapore, written by architectural and urban historian Dr Lai Chee Kien.”

“The Garden of Foolish Indulgences is published by Pause Narratives, a collective formed by Koh, Oh, and fellow writer Dave Chua in 2013, and partially funded by the National Heritage Board’s (NHB) Heritage Project Grant.”

“As immigration is a hot-button topic in Singapore, with an estimated 20,000 people being naturalised as citizens each year according to news reports, the duo were careful not to stereotype either Singaporeans or new immigrants while exploring the themes of integration and retaining one’s identity in a foreign country.”

Colloque

International conference “From clients to citizens ? Citizenship in democratising Indonesia”, 8-10 décembre 2016, Université Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta

“What is the impact of Indonesia’s democratization process on everyday interactions between Indonesian citizens and power holders? Democratic reforms have led to a much livelier public sphere, freer and more active public debate and more intensive political participation. Yet democratization seems to have done little to end the predatory and clientelistic practices of political elites. The persistence of these practices and the ‘stalling’ of Indonesia’s democratization process cannot be attributed solely to institutional shortcomings or selfish behaviour of elites. Instead, there is an urgent need to study politics ‘from below’ by examining the character of citizenship in Indonesia.”

“Northern Thai Cremation Structures: Palaces, Mythical Birds, and Visions of Heaven”, Rebecca Hall, 19/10/2016, UCLA Campus

“Northern Thai funeral arts are elaborate, beautiful objects created for display during a funeral followed by complete destruction in the cremation fire. These arts are made for purposes that extend beyond mere decoration; they serve an active and essential role in the ceremonies that take place after death, helping both the living and the dead to negotiate transition. They give form to the central funerary theme of impermanence and highlight the rewards of a life filled with merit. A great deal of time and money is often taken to create these arts, attesting to their importance for Northern Thai Buddhists…”

“Politics at Play: Indonesian Wayang Performance Practice and Heritage Politics” by Sadiah Boonstra, 04/10/2016, SOAS

“This talk discusses the politics of heritage formation and wayang performance practice in Indonesia. Current wayang heritage discourse roots in the colonial and postcolonial past, and shaped rather static official standards for that not always reflect popular wayang performance practice. This talk briefly discusses the history of wayang’s heritage formation, and presents the strategies that three superstar dalang [puppeteers] apply in dealing with the politically imbued heritage discourse of wayang. Their approaches range from applying standards codified in art academies and official heritage discourse by Ki Purbo Asmoro, to the commercial performance practice of Ki Manteb Soedarsono, who has become the standard for official heritage discourse as well as for popular wayang shows. Ki Enthus Susmono successfully – albeit controversially - combines radical innovations, such as a new wayang genre Wayang Santri that merges Islamic chants with sexual allusions and rude language. Curiously, Enthus Susmono was elected regent of his home province Tegal in 2014, exemplary of the intertwining of culture and politics.”

Report of the workshop “New Law, New Villages? Changing rural Indonesia”, 19-20/05/2016, KITLV

“This workshop in May 2016 discussed a new type of village studies in Indonesia. The 2014 Village Law will likely cause a considerable change in the character of village governance and leadership in the coming years. Overall questions are: what will be the impact of Indonesia’s Village Law on the character of villages and their role in Indonesia’s economic and political development? How can we study this change across Indonesia in a comparative manner? What can we learn from the history of village governance in the context of change processes taking place in rural areas?”

“Claiming the hydraulic network of Angkor with Viṣṇu: A multidisciplinary approach including the analysis of archaeological remains, digital modelling and radiocarbon dating: With evidence for a 12th century renovation of the West Mebon” by Marnie Feneley, Dan Penny and Roland Fletcher, Journal of Archaeological Science : Reports, vol. 9, octobre 2016

Abstract

“Prior to the investigations in 2004–2005 of the West Mebon and subsequent analysis of archaeological material in 2015 it was presumed that the Mebon was built in the mid-11th century and consecrated only once. New data indicates a possible re-use of the water shrine and a refurbishment and reconsecration in the early 12th century, at which time a large sculpture of Viṣṇu was installed. Understanding the context of the West Mebon is vital to understanding the complex hydraulic network of Angkor, which plays a crucial role in the history of the Empire.”

“Delving into drivers of deforestation” by Deanna Ramsay, 26/09/2016, Forests News

“New study analyzes four decades of satellite images – overturning assumptions about the role of industrial plantations in Borneo forest loss.”

http://blog.cifor.org/43881/delving-into-drivers-of-deforestation?fnl=en

“Rapid conversions and avoided deforestation: examining four decades of industrial plantation expansion in Borneo” by D.L.A. Gaveau et al., Scientific Reports, CIFOR

“New plantations can either cause deforestation by replacing natural forests or avoid this by using previously cleared areas. The extent of these two situations is contested in tropical biodiversity hotspots where objective data are limited. Here, we explore delays between deforestation and the establishment of industrial tree plantations on Borneo using satellite imagery. Between 1973 and 2015 an estimated 18.7 Mha of Borneo’s old-growth forest were cleared (14.4 Mha and 4.2 Mha in Indonesian and Malaysian Borneo). Industrial plantations expanded by 9.1 Mha (7.8 Mha oil-palm; 1.3 Mha pulpwood). Approximately 7.0 Mha of the total plantation area in 2015 (9.2 Mha) were old-growth forest in 1973, of which 4.5-4.8 Mha (24–26% of Borneo-wide deforestation) were planted within five years of forest clearance (3.7-3.9 Mha oil-palm; 0.8-0.9 Mha pulpwood). This rapid within-five-year conversion has been greater in Malaysia than in Indonesia (57-60% versus 15-16%). In Indonesia, a higher proportion of oil-palm plantations was developed on already cleared degraded lands (a legacy of recurrent forest fires). However, rapid conversion of Indonesian forests to industrial plantations has increased steeply since 2005. We conclude that plantation industries have been the principle driver of deforestation in Malaysian Borneo over the last four decades. In contrast, their role in deforestation in Indonesian Borneo was less marked, but has been growing recently. We note caveats in interpreting these results and highlight the need for greater accountability in plantation development.”

“Origins of Vanuatu and Tonga's first people revealed,” 04/10/2016, All News, Australian National University

“The origins of Vanuatu and Tonga's first inhabitants has been revealed in a surprise discovery made by ANU archaeologists in the first major study of ancient DNA (aDNA) from the Pacific Islands. The study, published in the scientific journal Nature, reveals Vanuatu's first people arrived 3,000 years ago from Taiwan and northern Philippines, and not from the neighbouring Australo-Papuan populations of Australia, New Guinea and the Solomon Islands that had been in the region for between 40,000 and 50,000 years.

Researcher Professor Matthew Spriggs said the discovery was confirmed after aDNA analyses were carried out on three skeletal samples excavated from the oldest known cemetery of the Pacific Island Lapita culture near Port Vila in Vanuatu.”

“Genomic insights into the peopling of the Southwest Pacific,” 03/10/2016, Nature

“The appearance of people associated with the Lapita culture in the South Pacific around 3,000 years ago1 marked the beginning of the last major human dispersal to unpopulated lands. However, the relationship of these pioneers to the long-established Papuan people of the New Guinea region is unclear. Here we present genome-wide ancient DNA data from three individuals from Vanuatu (about 3,100–2,700 years before present) and one from Tonga (about 2,700–2,300 years before present), and analyse them with data from 778 present-day East Asians and Oceanians. Today, indigenous people of the South Pacific harbour a mixture of ancestry from Papuans and a population of East Asian origin that no longer exists in unmixed form, but is a match to the ancient individuals. Most analyses have interpreted the minimum of twenty-five per cent Papuan ancestry in the region today as evidence that the first humans to reach Remote Oceania, including Polynesia, were derived from population mixtures near New Guinea, before their further expansion into Remote Oceania2, 3, 4, 5. However, our finding that the ancient individuals had little to no Papuan ancestry implies that later human population movements spread Papuan ancestry through the South Pacific after the first peopling of the islands.”

“Moscow museum displays restored 1950s Indonesian paintings” by Daria Strelávina, 30/09/2016, Russia Beyond the Headlines

“The State Museum of Oriental Art in Moscow recently unveiled ‘New life of Indonesian Art,’ an exhibition, which is dedicated to the celebration of the ASEAN-Russia year of culture.”

“In 1964-65, Vilen Sikorsky and Natalya Chevtaykina worked in the House of Soviet Culture in Jakarta and Surabaya. While he was the general director of the House of Culture, Sikorsky cultivated friendships with many Indonesian artists, who gifted him some of their paintings. During the Indonesian coup d’etat in 1965, Sikorsky and Checkvetaykina left the country and saved some unique paintings of artists, such as Rustamadji, Pekik, and Tarmizi, from getting destroyed.”

“Once Upon A Night” by Koh Yee Chao, 21/09/2016, Invisible Photographer Asia

“I started documenting Chinese spirit-mediumship or Tang Ki back in 2011, where my journey often took me to rituals held in the dead of the night.

My fascination with the Chinese rituals dates back to my early childhood, growing up in a kampong nested on the boundaries of Bukit Brown cemetery, where my grandfather worked as a caretaker. From him, I learnt about the Taoist beliefs and the importance of life and death, which subsequently got instilled in my mind.

I hope to show the viewers images of my journey through the realm of Chinese spiritual possession, as it is a significant culture in Chinese society since history up till today.”

• • Bal thaï : Phin Prayuk de Phetchabun par le groupe Dao Phra Suk Sin le 09 novembre 2016 à La Bellevilloise

“En Thaïlande, presque chaque localité a son groupe de procession, généralement formé de tambours longs, pour accompagner les fêtes bouddhiques. À Phetchabun, cet ensemble s’est peu à peu transformé, tout d’abord en wong kibaord ou « groupes de synthétiseurs » puis en wong phin prayuk. Le phin, c’est le luth à trois cordes que l’on retrouve dans toute l’Asie du sud-est péninsulaire sous diverses formes. Prayuk pourrait se traduire par « modernité adaptée », et fait référence à l’amplification du phin et de la basse par un colossal sound system artisanal véhiculé sur un chariot mobile. ”

“The ‘Archive of Yogyakarta’ refers to a collection of some four hundred manuscript documents in Javanese dating from 1772 to 1813, originating from the court of Yogyakarta. A highly important source for the political, economic, social, administrative and legal history of central Java in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the archive comprises official reports, letters, accounts and other documents as well as the private papers of Sultan Hamenkubuwana II (r. 1792-1810, 1811-1812, 1826-1828) and his successor Sultan Hamengkubuwana III (r. 1812-1814). Together with many other Javanese manuscripts on literary, historical and religious subjects held in the royal library, the documents were taken during the British assault on the palace of Yogyakarta in June 1812, and subsequently entered the private collections of three senior officials of the British administration in Java (1811-1816): Thomas Stamford Raffles, Lieutenant-Governor of Java; Colin Mackenzie, Chief Engineer; and John Crawfurd, then Resident of Yogyakarta.”

“Currently bound in four volumes (Add. 12303, Add. 12341, Add. 12342 and Add. 14397), the Archive of Yogyakarta has recently been fully digitised and can be accessed directly through the hyperlinks in this post or on the British Library’s Digitised Manuscripts website.”

One other Javanese manuscript from the Yogyakarta palace library now held in the British Library which has been digitised is the beautifully illuminated Serat Jayalengkara Wulang (MSS Jav 24), described in another blog post: A Javanese manuscript artist at work.

For a full list of Malay and Indonesian manuscripts in the British Library which have been digitised, see our Digital Access to Malay and Indonesian manuscripts webpage.
