Popis: In this reflection on Cambodian as a post-genocide society within which most of the collective cultural memories have been erased, Šešić asks us to revisit the fundamental question of what is culture and cultural development in this context. In Cambodia, culture is not about infrastructures nor industries. It is the revival of collective memory, a way of life. This chapter suggests that the public-civic partnership model is ideally placed to advance the national cultural policy agendas. However, lack of recognition of the cultural profession internally and cultural imperialism externally have resulted in a fragmented cultural identity and a broken cultural sector.
