Beyond Ethnicity and Nation:

About the Elasticity of the social Borders among Chams

Chams in Cambodia often stand out as Muslims in a Buddhist country. They appear as a Cham minority among a Khmer majority. They are coming from the “lost” Champa kingdom, while acting for the Cambodian one.

The ongoing PhD research conducted by Emiko Stock aims to demonstrate that such a description of Chams, reduced to a game of oppositions is highly influenced by our perception of the “identity” notion, as a one opposed to the other. In this presentation she will give a few illustrations of the multiple ways Chams build their social organization. Therefore, she will attend to show that the vision of both homogeneity and division we get from this community, is highly influenced by our own ways of thinking the ethnie, the nation, and the religion as constituent of “cham identity”.
