In this second part of our Week 5 lecture, we look more specifically at aspects of Angkorian art and explore how scholars are introducing a gendered reading to the art history of Angkor. We will also look at evidences of the role Angkor played after its supposed decline and challenge the theory of its abandonment and eventually rediscovery by the French explorer Henri Mouhot in the mid 19th century.
