This conference volume unites a wide range of scholars working in
the fields of history, archaeology, religion, art, and philology in
an effort to explore new perspectives and methods in the study of
primary sources from premodern South and Southeast Asia. The
contributions engage with primary sources (including texts, images,
material artefacts, monuments, as well as archaeological sites and
landscapes) and draw needed attention to highly adaptable,
innovative, and dynamic modes of cultural production within
traditional idioms. The volume works to develop categories of
historical analysis that cross disciplinary boundaries and
represent a wide variety of methodological concerns. By revisiting
premodern sources, Asia Beyond Boundaries also addresses critical
issues of temporality and periodization that attend established
categories in Asian Studies, such as the "Classical Age" or the
"Gupta Period". This volume represents the culmination of the
European Research Council (ERC) Synergy project Asia Beyond
Boundaries: Religion, Region, Language and the State, a research
consortium of the British Museum, the British Library and the
School of Oriental and African Studies, in partnership with Leiden
University.
