Regional Histories of South Asia in the Light of Archaelogical and Textual Sources
07.10.2021, 09:00 - 08.10.2021, 16:45
Ce colloque de recherche international rassemble des chercheurs qui étudient l'histoire de l'Asie du Sud ancienne et médiévale à travers des sources archéologiques et textuelles. L'accent sera mis sur deux grandes zones géographiques : les régions nord-ouest du sous-continent et le nord-est de la plaine du Gange. Deux points théoriques seront mis en évidence : la pertinence d'une focalisation régionale dans la recherche historique, et les problèmes qui se posent lorsqu'on cherche à harmoniser les données archéologiques avec le témoignage des inscriptions et des sources textuelles.
