This study offers a new approach to the history of sites,
archaeology, and heritage formation in Asia, at both the local and
the trans-regional levels. Starting at Hindu-Buddhist, Chinese,
Islamic, colonial, and prehistoric heritage sites in Indonesia, the
focus is on people's encounters and the knowledge exchange taking
place across colonial and post-colonial regimes. Objects are
followed as they move from their site of origin to other locations,
such as the Buddhist statues from Borobudur temple, that were
gifted to King Chulalongkorn of Siam. The ways in which the meaning
of these objects transformed as they moved away to other sites
reveal their role in parallel processes of heritage formation
outside Indonesia. Calling attention to the power of the material
remains of the past, Marieke Bloembergen and Martijn Eickhoff
explore questions of knowledge production, the relationship between
heritage and violence, and the role of sites and objects in the
creation of national histories.
