SUMMARY:Movements at the Liminals: Reconsidering European Colonialism in Southeast Asia
LOCATION:REC A2.15
DESCRIPTION:Studies of modern Southeast Asia during colonial times have sho
 wn the limits of a too narrow understanding of colonialism. Scholars have p
 ointed out various small actors who have not been adequately represented in
  the wider history of colonialism focusing on Empires. More often than not,
  the colonial state did not present itself in the colonies as an omnipotent
  power of the metropole. Rather, the empires were dependent on intermediari
 es to both govern and to create knowledge about the colonies. Traders, entr
 epreneurs, spouses, missionaries, collaborators, travellers, even rogues, a
 re important in understanding how the Age of Empire was a cacophonous one a
 nd how empires were in fact resisted everywhere it reached. It has been arg
 ued that instead of being the marginal phenomenon, these voices have been f
 undamental to the making of modern Southeast Asia. \n\nThis panel encourage
 s scholars who study colonialism through the role of small actors who stubb
 ornly resist a simple categorisation of the coloniser and the colonised. Ho
 w do we, for example, account for a relation between the non-colonised Siam
 , and the small-colonisers Scandinavia during this period? How do we addres
 s the role of capitalists and entrepreneurs, both Western and non-Western, 
 who were not state representatives, in the making of modern Southeast Asia?
  \n\nThe panel invites papers that look at intermediaries and small scale a
 ctors in-between European empires and Southeast Asian polities from the lat
 e nineteenth century to the post-second world war decolonization
