In the meantime, artists, art associations, educationa l, and administrative institutions in Cambodia and in the diaspora concentr ate their efforts on promoting the traditional performing arts as heritage while also building on them to set a scene for Cambodian contemporary arts and negotiate national and cultural identities. In this context, how are id eas of culture and intangible heritage shaped? By whom and for whom? Throug h which processes? Under what constraints? Multiple actors, forms of power, and agencies contribute to the staging of Cambodian performing arts. In th is panel, contributors address the legacy of colonialism and the challenge of definition of the Royal Ballet of Cambodia as world heritage (Lucie Labb é, CASE, France); the redefinition of patronages and modes of representatio n of the rural classical all-male drama, lakhon khol, in relation to social and political contexts (Stéphanie Khoury, Tufts University, USA); the arti culation of tradition and modernity in televisual and online performances o f wedding music and popular Bassac theatre (Francesca Billeri, La Sapienza, Italy); and the political mediation of heritage-related narratives through the memorialization of dissident poet and lyricist Kong Bunchhoeun (Matthe w Trew, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA). Through these concrete examp les, this panel aims to illustrate and discuss some of the complex intersec ting factors that shapes intangible heritage in Cambodia today URL:https://euroseas2022.org/panels/stagecraft-and-representation-of-cambodian-intangible-heritage DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20220701T140000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20220701T153000 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
