Imagining Asia(s): Networks, Actors, Sites
• When does the idea of Asia (and regions) come into being and how far back in time can we trace these spatial imagination(s)?
• What are the registers of inter-Asian connections?
• What are the logistical aspects governing the routes—overland and maritime—that linked up different regions of Asia?
• Who fashions themselves as Asians and in what context and location?
• What roles did imperial formations (old and new, European and non-European) play in shaping Asia?
• Do ideas of nationalism and post-colonial nation states fracture Asia?
• Does the post-colonial state or elites privilege specific Asian identities over others for their own interests?
• What are the current geopolitical forces that help maintain the neatly defined regional configurations in Asia?

Focus: Premodern Java
23 July – 2 August 2016
Trawas, East Java (Indonesia)
CALL FOR APPLICANTS
This pioneering Summer Programme will focus on premodern Javanese Art History, in both its local and translocal dimensions. It will cover from the Central Javanese ‘Hindu-Buddhist’ period to the late Majapahit and Early Islamic period (ca. 8th–early 17th century).
This Summer Programme is the result of a partnership between the Nalanda-Sriwijaya Centre at the ISEAS–Yusof Ishak Institute (Singapore), Universitas Surabaya (Indonesia), and SOAS’ Southeast Asian Art Academic Programme (SAAAP) at the Department of the History of Art and Archaeology, School of Arts (UK). It aims to promote the study of Southeast Asian Art History in the region and internationally.
The Summer Programme will be taught by a pool of ten Indonesian and European experts from different disciplinary backgrounds. It will showcase the state-of-the-art research on Javanese Art History and related aspects of culture, history, and religion. It will also introduce the participants to the basics of conservation techniques and current approaches to museology in a local and global context.
Who can apply?
To be eligible to apply for the 2016 NSC-ISEAS/SOAS Summer Programme, you must:

- have a good command of English (English is the language of instruction).
Location
Held over ten days at Ubaya’s Integrated Outdoor Campus (IOC), the programme will be located at the foot of Mount Penanggungan in the town of Trawas (Mojokerto, East Java).

Tours
The programme will include a one-day tour in the history-rich environs of Mount Penanggungan and a three-day tour to temples, museums and relevant archaeological sites across East Java (i.e. Kediri, Singhasari, Trowulan/Majapahit, Blitar/Panataran).

Koh Ker Field School – Torp Chey site visit, survey, and lecture (Credit: Dr. D. Kyle Latinis).
The Archaeological Unit (AU) at ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute (ISEAS) conducted an archaeological Field School from 2-22 December 2015 in Koh Ker, Cambodia. This was in collaboration with Cambodia’s APSARA Authority and was the third Field School conducted by AU in Cambodia.
There were a total of 12 students who participated in the Field School from a variety of East Asian countries including Cambodia; Indonesia; Laos; Vietnam; Philippines; Myanmar; Hong Kong; New Zealand; and Singapore.
The itinerary featured interactive site visits and informal on-site lectures. Hands-on training sessions took participants and staff through 2000 years of complex socio-political and economic evolution. Topics also included urbanisation, exchange dynamics, cultural influence, and multi-directional agency among pan-Asian networks. The pivotal points of analytical foci and departure spanned the famed Khmer polities of Funan (1st-6th centuries CE), Chenla (7th-8th centuries CE), and Angkor (9th-14th centuries CE).
The main event included coordinated archaeological and anthropological operations at multiple sites within the enigmatic 10th century Angkorian capital city of Koh Ker associated with the reign of Jayavarman IV. Participants lived on-site (in the forest) working with professional staff and local community members. They trained at three excavation locales to cover a diverse range of approaches, techniques and research questions. The results will provide valuable contributions to science, archaeology and history.
The final Field School leg in Singapore provided an important comparative component, added training opportunities, facilitated library access and allowed participants to finalise and present team projects.
The Field School was funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Singapore. Primary institutions included ISEAS and APSARA Authority. Supporting partners included the Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts, Cambodia; the Royal University of Fine Arts, Cambodia; The Royal Academy of Cambodia; the National Museum of Cambodia; the Hungarian Southeast Asian Research Institute; Ecole Francaise d’Extreme-Orient; and an extensive list of several other organisations and independent researchers who provided invaluable input, advice, opportunities and support.
