1This book originated from a panel on “Haunted Landscapes and Ambiguous Memories: Interactions with the Past in Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia” convened at the 6th EUROSEAS (European Association for South East Asian Studies) Conference in Gothenburg/Sweden in August 2010. The papers by Sina Emde, Susan Hammond, Vatthana Pholsena, Elaine Russell, and Oliver Tappe were presented at the panel. Christina Schwenkel and Krisna Uk, who were unable to make the trip to Gothenburg, stayed onboard for the ensuing production of this volume, which was further enriched by the contributions by Ian Baird and Markus Schlecker. We thank the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology (Halle, Germany) and the Institut d'Asie Orientale (Lyon Institute of East Asian Studies, CNRS-Ecole normale supérieure de Lyon, France) for their funding of the panel. We are also pleased to acknowledge the support of IRASEC (Research Institute on Contemporary Southeast Asia, Bangkok, Thailand), especially in the final stages of preparing this book for publication.
2We are grateful to Pierre Petit and Olivier Ducourtieux for their helpful comments during the panel’s discussions, as well as two anonymous referees for their constructive and insightful ideas and suggestions. We very much appreciate Fred Branfman’s encouraging messages that gave us an extra motivation to complete this publication. During the preparation of the manuscript, Vatthana Pholsena greatly benefitted from the supportive environment of the Department of Southeast Asian Studies at the National University of Singapore. Oliver Tappe wishes to express his gratitude to the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology and its director Chris Hann for their ongoing support to this project. Special thanks also go to cartographer Jutta Turner and to the valiant student assistants, Josefine Brauer and Katharina Ille, of the Max Planck Institute who put together the volume’s index. At NUS Press, our gratitude goes to Paul Kratoska for wholeheartedly taking on this publication and Eunice Low for her kind and patient editorial support.
