As an introduction

   
Pictures often tell us much more than their actual vision could reveal … What about all this old photographs hidden somewhere in Cambodian houses, and here, in Chams houses? Let’s see – through some excavations – what hese images can tell us about past,and therefore present, cham society…

I think this little archives sharing would be more enjoyable as a regular meeting, on a totally informal basis. And to broader our experience we will not restrain ourselves to Chams in Cambodia, but open the selection to Chams and Muslims in Mainland Southeast Asia.

So, « Du fin fond du Grenier » (something like: “from the attic’s far back end” …) is now going to be a monthly rendez-vous, and you will soon discover more dusty - and less dusty - materials to use in your quest in Cham studies and Muslim communities in former Indochina.

Being a tool to understand better the present, the past is not to be disconnected to nowadays situation. Through recent pictures and comparative studies, suggestions of readings, updates of the ongoing research, let's enrich a dynamic study of the Chams societies...
 
Enjoy the dig!
