Du Fin Fond Du Grenier ...
(Something like: "from the attic's far back end". . .)
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!

What about today?
Survivance of austronesian codes, the buffalo sacrifice is still practiced nowadays during Cai ceremonies in a few villages in
Cambodia. More common to the whole country is the annual cow sacrifice for the Aid Al Kabir.
(01/01/07 - Chror Romirt Village, Kompong Chhnang Province, Cambodia - Emiko Stock)
This year about 30 cows, offered by a group of generous Malays, have been killed in front of the mosque for the Aid Al Kabir and
shared between the villagers.
If both sacrifices have a totally different origin, and happens in totally different occasions, the performance does remain the same…
