SUMMARY:A History of Presence: Decolonizing Discourse around Early Modern Southeast Asia (1)
LOCATION:Room 3.09
DESCRIPTION:This panel investigates the origins, nature, extent and evoluti
 on of Portugal’s cultural legacy in Southeast Asia through transdisciplinar
 y conversation. By bringing together archival studies, history, philology, 
 cultural anthropology, linguistics and art history, we intend to reconstruc
 t forgotten connections (material and immaterial, tangible and intangible) 
 and rehabilitate neglected agencies. These insights serve to generate point
 s of departure for the decolonization of discourse regarding what Southeast
  Asia is and how it came to be, and infuse this important conversation with
  updated knowledge. By scrutinizing historical connectivities across early 
 modern Southeast Asia—from the individual to the community; from oral to ma
 terial evidence—we propose to trace the (in)tangible character—widely felt 
 to this day—of Portuguese presence in the region. The afterlives of this pr
 esence manifest themselves, for example, in the 1999 handover of Macau and 
 the maintenance of rule of law until 2049, and by Timor-Leste’s independenc
 e process between 1999 and 2012. Historically, both localities were integra
 ted within Portuguese (in)formal networks stretching from East Asia, Southe
 ast Asia, and the Indian Ocean World.\n\nPortugal’s territorial presence in
  Southeast Asia was largely displaced by other European powers at an early 
 stage. As such, it does not precisely amount to colonial rule, yet it has b
 rought about a contact situation deeply affecting transregional connections
 , linguistic change, religious ceremonies, and the hybridization of intangi
 ble culture—including food, music and performing arts. Many cultural practi
 ces born during this historical period have become indigenous to Southeast 
 Asia. Drawing on the idea of an informal empire—symbolized by the mysteriou
 s “Etc.” that adorned the title of the King of Portugal—this panel aims to 
 trace transfers of culture and recover acts of agency during the early mode
 rn period (1500s-1650s), adding historical depth to today’s intercultural d
 ialogues and exchange processes born out of this non-formalized legacy. Thr
 ough a broad, transdisciplinary vision, we advocate for the recovery and ma
 pping of a “Presence” highly felt in the region, albeit fragmented, mysteri
 ous, and often downplayed by subsequent European powers. By foregrounding t
 he creolized elements of Portugal’s legacy in the region, we hope to contri
 bute to the decolonization of discourse—on the early modern period and its 
 afterlives—in Southeast Asian Studies.
