SUMMARY:Engaging Universals: Traveling Concepts and Practices in Contemporary Southeast Asia (1)
LOCATION:Room 1.402
DESCRIPTION:In 1997, Cambodian and foreign judges started to work together 
 to try former Khmer Rouge leaders for crimes against humanity within a hybr
 id court, set up by the Cambodian government and the United Nations applyin
 g both international and national law. A few years later, in 2001, the conc
 ept of “indigenous peoples” made its way into Cambodian law and, through hu
 man rights advocates, into the countryside, altering preceding notions of m
 inority identity in a dominantly Khmer Buddhist nation. These are just two 
 examples of current engagements of global normative ideas and practices in 
 local settings in Southeast Asia.\n\nIn a wide area of fields such as trans
 itional justice, rights-based activism, but also humanitarian aid and devel
 opment, norms, concepts or tool kits travel globally and enter local contex
 ts and communities. Presented as universals but always born in a specific c
 ultural settings, they are usually transported and mediated in between the 
 local and the global by persons such as development experts, rights activis
 ts, peace workers, or NGO employees. In the process both, the local and the
  global, are altered. Scholars have analyzed these different dynamics as fr
 ictions (Tsing 2005), translations (Lewis and Mosse 2006) or vernacularizat
 ions (Levitt and Merry 2009). Rather than concurring with established objec
 tives and outcomes, such dynamics often give way to unexpected interpretati
 ons and developments. They might even engender new conflicts.\n\nThis panel
  invites ethnographically informed contributions that explore how people en
 gage global ideas and practices across Southeast Asia. Where do such travel
 ing concepts and tools originate? Which (human and non-human) actors and cu
 rrents carry them? How are they translated or vernacularized, and what soci
 o-cultural processes are thereby set in motion?
