“…In large part, this reaction to the site was driven by a greater confusion regarding how to properly "remember" and "forget" the mass internal violence of the Khmer Rouge period. Although certain minority groups-such as the Vietnamese and Muslims-were targeted for especially harsh persecution under the Democratic Kampuchea regime, most of the killing that took place was Khmer on Khmer, driven by political ideology (Hinton, 2004). With the end of the Cold War and eventual defections of even the most staunch Khmer Rouge loyalists in the late 1990s, the ways in which people were "othered" and killed under the regime no longer adhere to an intelligible logic.…”

Therapeutic improvisation in Cambodia: Moderated exposure, the Tuol Sleng Museum of Genocidal Crimes, and the quest to weave the “world’s longest krama”

This piece examines efforts by Cambodian mental health workers to incorporate two sites of cultural significance into narrative psychotherapy among Khmer Rouge survivors. As part of the “exposure” element of an imported form of Testimonial Therapy (TT)—in which patients retrieve traumatic memories from the past—a subset of patients was taken to the Tuol Sleng Museum of Genocidal Crimes. While embodied engagement with the memorial site served as an effective mnemonic device for participants, it also proved more emotionally overwhelming than counselors initially anticipated. As an antidote, counselors then decided to add another site to the patients’ therapeutic itinerary—an exposition where they could participate in efforts to weave the world’s longest krama. In examining this case of “therapeutic improvisation,” I explore the dynamic social life of memory sites and how they may assist people in renegotiating cultural memory (and identity) in the wake of traumatic social rupture.

“…This focus on the critical role of social networks in motivating rural-to-urban migration is particularly important in the context of Cambodian culture, which places a high value on the nuclear and extended family, intergenerationalsolidarity, and the establishment of non-kin-based patron-client relationships (Ebihara, 1987;Hinton, 2005;Vickery, 1999).…”

Cambodian cities continue to experience major growth, due principally to in-country migration. However, the recent trajectory and historical context of urbanisation differs from other Asian countries and as such are less investigated. Using a framework of interconnected migration factors, this article reports on rural-to-urban migration in five provinces around Phnom Penh—from the perspective of both urban migrants and their rural family members. The work examines the economic, environmental, and sociocultural factors influencing migrants’ current and desired movements, changing livelihood activities, and the permanency of migration choices. While there is evidence to support three major theories of migration—income differentials, environmental change, and social networks—it is argued that none of these alone explains current migration patterns. Explanations of Cambodian migration must account for the powerful attraction of home villages and kin relations, as well as the inseparability of two exogenous factors: the proliferation of microfinance (MFI) and the rise of the garment industry. The results show distinct patterns of migration with implications for adaptation, precarity, and rural livelihoods.
