This forum is organised by the Asia Research Institute, National University of Singapore; with funding support from the Henry Luce Foundation, USA.
The Asia Research Institute (ARI) of the National University of Singapore (NUS) invites applications from postgraduate (master’s and PhD) students who are engaged in research on Southeast Asia to attend the 11th Singapore Graduate Forum on Southeast Asian Studies on 12-14 July 2016.
This three-day forum, the eleventh of an annual series of forums for graduate students who work on Southeast Asia, will be organised thematically. Themes broadly reflect (though not limited to) the core research strengths of the Asia Research Institute, including the Asian dynamics of religion, politics, economy, gender, culture, language, migration, urbanism, science and technology, population and social change. Keynotes will be delivered by professors J. Neil Garcia (University of the Philippines), Mary Beth Mills (Colby College), and Henk Schulte Nordholt (Leiden University, KITLV).
Post-graduate students working on Southeast Asia are invited to submit abstracts based either on work in progress that is at an advanced stage (i.e. already completed data collection and analysis), or on completed work. NUS students are encouraged to take advantage of this unprecedented opportunity to interact and exchange ideas with students from ASEAN as well as those from other regions whose interests focus on Southeast Asia.
Partial or full funding may be available for students whose proposals have been selected. Funding will cover board and lodging for the duration of the three-day forum, and in selected cases, air travel to Singapore by the most economical means.
This event coincides with the Asian Graduate Student Fellowship Programme 2016, which brings some 35 graduate students to ARI for a two-month period. These students will also participate in the Graduate Forum.

THE AWARENESS OF THE
PAST AMONG KHMER PEOPLE AND THEIR NEIGHBOURS.
LINGUISTIC, HISTORICAL AND ETHNOLOGICAL APPROACHES
LINGUISTIC, HISTORICAL AND ETHNOLOGICAL APPROACHES
Linguistics, History and Ethnology - three
of the disciplines practised in Khmer studies - have attempted in ad hoc
fashion to describe the perceptions of the past, but too often they have done
so in terms of "what is missing". For example, the fact that the
Khmer language hardly uses any clearly recognisable temporal markers might
affect the perception of duration. Likewise, the scarce and often inaccurate
narrative documents could imply a reduced historical awareness. Moreover,
villagers' poor genealogical awareness, sustained by chthonian cults harking
back to a mythical founder-ancestor, could be the sign of a memory
deficit. This even extends to the hyperbolic image of Angkor in the
consciousness of the Khmers, this "burden of history", which has been
described as the result of foreign involvement, in this case French.
The value of these works, both diverse and scattered, stems from their pioneering nature in identifying a specific relationship to the past. However, most of them are still in thrall to an ethnocentric approach, an approach which it is possible to overcome today. Instead of employing grammatical categories drawn from the experience of Indo-European languages, we will prefer to study the linguistic units in the diversity of their uses and semantic values - of which the aspectival uses (perfective versus imperfective) are only one part - in order to gain a more subtle understanding of the units traditionally identified as temporal markers. Instead of lamenting the scant historical value of the sources, we will be able to uncover a "texture of history" in genres that seem at first glance not to be historical by identifying the narrative techniques used in them to refer to the past. Instead of the simple analysis of the foundation myths, we will opt for a comparativist study of rites and the reuse of the objects and monuments, which constitute a host of memory traces betokening an active awareness of the past.

More generally, this symposium calls
for an in-depth consideration of the experience of the past, based, as far as
possible, on recent research outcomes, both Orientalist and Europeanist. Since
representations of the past cannot be understood outside of their defining
environments, special attention will be paid to the materiality of the
Indochinese world within which the Khmer people live, be it sites constructed
through narration (rivers and ponds; forests and trees; knolls and mounts;
toponyms) or objects showing the "durability of the world" (temples,
ritual objects, oral texts, etc.). These traces, which are often perceived as
being those of deceased ancestors, link temporal perspectives to one another
and thus become the medium for the successive development of representations of
the past on the basis of present events and expectations of the future.
Practical
guidelines
:
The Archaeology Department of the Royal University of Fine Arts in Phnom Penh,
in collaboration with the Structure and Dynamics of Languages Research Unit
(SeDyL - UMR 8202 - INALCO/IRD/CNRS) and the Exchanges and Training
for Khmer Studies Society (Association d'Echanges et de Formation pour les
Etudes Khmères), intends to host a panel of specialists in order to
explore representations of the past within the Khmer and, more broadly, the
Indochinese, world, pursuing four approaches which are not moreover necessarily
mutually exclusive:
An historical approach: representations
of the past through textual sources and the realia of ancient and modern
Cambodia (from the 6th to the 19th Century); the awareness and use of
genealogical bonds in the struggle for power (circa 1863-1993).
A linguistic approach: the linguistic
units that can be used to construct the values of perfectiveness and the past
in the Khmer language; the markers of repetition and anaphora; the lexical
field of memory and forgetting in the Khmer language; the study of words as
traces of an historical past.
A comparativist approach within the framework of the aforementioned three disciplines; the past of the Khmers as seen against that of the peoples of the Indochinese Peninsula (the perception of the Khmers' past by the peoples of the Indochinese Peninsula and vice versa; representations of the past among the peoples of the Indochinese Peninsula).

What You Need to Know About Winning Scholarships
http://www.fastweb.com/college-scholarships/articles/3501-what-you-need-to-know-about-winning-scholarships?utm_source=nlet&utm_content=preheader
By Kathryn Knight Randolph
March 22, 2012
So what can you do?
If you haven’t heard this already, you’re hearing it now: winning scholarships is a numbers game, and the more you apply, the better your chance of actually winning. Essentially, if you want to win a scholarship giving up is not an option; no matter how tired, frustrated or rejected you feel because of the process.
So get up off of the floor, quit wringing your hair in despair and follow this advice for persistence in your scholarship search.
Be honest with yourself: how many scholarships have you really applied to – a couple, five, 10? Those numbers aren’t going to cut it. If paying for school with scholarships and financial aid is really so important to you, then devote more time to your applications. If you’ve been applying to one scholarship a month, that’s not enough. Spend a half hour every day on applications or a few hours a week; whatever works best for your schedule.
Are you exhausting all of your scholarship search options? If you log onto Fastweb and merely look at your scholarship matches, that’s doing nothing to help you win a scholarship. Look at all of your scholarships and mark those that interest you as “Might Apply” or “Will Apply” and actually apply for them. Visit the site frequently too — don’t wait months to log back on.
Get started now. Apply for scholarships.
Also, reach out to your high school guidance counselor once a month and ask him or her about community scholarships. Scour your local newspaper for scholarship opportunities, and don’t shy away from entering contests, sweepstakes or promotions with a dollar prize. You can use that money for school too!
When you see a scholarship for $500, do you skip over it and look at the scholarship for $10,000 instead? Here’s a little secret: scholarships with a smaller award amount don’t get the same volume of applications as a $10,000 scholarship, meaning your odds are better. So don’t skim over the small amounts – that’s $500 less you have to pay for college, right? And if you win several $500 scholarships, that can really add up.
The scholarship search isn’t over once you set foot on your college campus. There are thousands of scholarship opportunities for college students, whether you’re a college freshman, a junior studying abroad or starting your final year. While in college, devote just as much time to your scholarship search as you did when you were a high school senior, i.e. a few hours a week.
It’s understandable to be frustrated with the process – it’s tedious, never-ending and more often than not, disappointing. But that’s when you have to shake it off and try, try again. Good luck, Fastwebbers!
