The essays in this book address the characterisation of medieval South Asia as a dark prelude to an enlightened modernity and through the reappraisal of crucial texts seek to challenge colonialist and nationalistic historiography.

This comprehensive history provides a fresh interpretation of Southeast Asia from 100 to 1500, when major social and economic developments foundational to modern societies took place on the mainland (Burma, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam) and the island world (Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines). Incorporating the latest archaeological evidence and international scholarship, Kenneth R. Hall enlarges upon prior histories of early Southeast Asia that did not venture beyond 1400, extending the study of the region to the Portuguese seizure of Melaka in 1511. Written for a wide audience of no

This book, third in a series on the early Buddhist art of China and Central Asia, centers on Buddhist art from the Western Ch'in (385-431 A.D.) in eastern Kansu (northwest China), primarily from the cave temples of Ping-ling ssu and Mai-chi shan. A detailed chronological and iconographic study of sculptures and wall paintings in Cave 169 at Ping-ling ssu particularly yields a chronological framework for unlocking the difficult issues of dating early fifth century Chinese Buddhist art, and offers some new insights into textual sources in the Lotus, Hua-yen and Amitabha sutras. Further, this study introduces the iconographpy of the five Buddhas and its relation to the art of Gandhara and the famous five colossal T'an-yao caves at Yün-kang.

What happens to thinkers who operate outside the European philosophical pedigree? In this powerfully honed polemic, Hamid Dabashi argues that they are invariably marginalised, patronised and misrepresented. Challenging, pugnacious and stylish, Can Non-Europeans Think? forges a new perspective in postcolonial theory by examining how intellectual debate continues to reinforce a colonial regime of knowledge, albeit in a new guise. Based on years of scholarship and activism, this insightful collection of philosophical explorations is certain to unsettle and delight in equal measure.--

Partition de l’Inde en 1947, partition du Pakistan en 1971, sécessionnisme des Tigres tamouls à Sri Lanka, régionalisme tournant à la lutte armée dans plusieurs États indiens, conflits inter-religieux et divisions sectaires, revendications linguistiques, poussée du nationalisme hindou mais aussi des mouvements de castes : les tensions identitaires ont marqué de leur sceau l’histoire du dernier demi-siècle en Asie du Sud. Récusant l’approche essentialiste qui enferme les hommes et les communautés dans des stéréotypes propices à toutes les manipulations, ce volume souligne comment se construisent, dans un sous-continent extraordinairement divers, les figures de l’identité, et comment elles se croisent dans des superpositions, des enchevêtrements, des glissements d’appartenances. Identités religieuses, culturelles, sociales, politiques, voire économiques ; identités nationales et régionales : c’est à diverses échelles et par des voies multiples — anthropologie, histoire, sociologie, littérature, sciences politiques — que les auteurs de cet ouvrage éclairent les complexes réalités du champ sud-asiatique. Mais en se penchant sur l’Inde, le Pakistan, le Bangladesh, Sri Lanka ou le Népal, ils apportent aussi leur contribution à des débats plus larges sur l’ethnographie coloniale, l’orientalisme, les lectures et usages de l’histoire, les constructions culturelles de l’identité, les pratiques identitaires des communismes asiatiques, la critique post-moderne de l’État-nation et du sécularisme, pour enrichir une problématique majeure qui agite aujourd’hui, à travers un monde dit globalisé, tant les peuples que les intellectuels et les politiques.
