Abstract
This paper focuses on Indonesian and Cambodian Court Dances and their relationship to state sponsorship in the formation of political identity in Southeast Asia. Both countries have actively participated in cultural exchange for the global market, and the author will emphasize the politics of narration by government or cultural agencies, based on the mystification and spiritualization of dance practices, while signaling the need for “preservation” of these practices. This analysis is extended to further examine different body regulation and socioeconomic and political pressure on the popular culture of Cambodia and Indonesia through the lens of “Diaspora Subjects” and the expectation of modernization.
