- The output articulates a complex thesis that combines art historical, textual and ethnographic analysis to 1/ re-evaluate dominant paradigms of ancient Southeast Asian historiography, 2/ develop a decolonizing critical approach to interpretation of Angkorian politico-cultural constructs, and 3/ propose new histories of Angkor and its immediate aftermath which make room for previously absent perspectives and voices. The work draws from more than a decade of field and archival research in Old, Middle and Modern Khmer, Sanskrit and French, and engages with a challenging body of theoretical literature in the fields of gender studies, cultural theory and deconstruction.
