Traditional Literatures of Southeast Asia: A Comparative Perspective Organised by NIE Saturday, 19 August 2008 4.30 pm – 6.30 pm Possibility Room, Level 5 National Library Building 100 Victoria Street Speaker: Professor Vladimir Braginsky (School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London) Southeast Asia is a rich field for the comparative study of both: the literary systems based on the world-perception, ethical and aesthetical teachings of those religions and the problems of unity and diversity of a specific literary region. It gives the fresh material on literary contacts, syntheses and peculiar national versions of Indian, Chinese, Arab-Moslem literary traditions inside the region, as well as on the ties of this literary region with ‘literary communities’ of the outer world. The first task of this lecture is to trace a historical dynamic and the stages of the integrational / disintegrational processes within the South East Asian literary region. The other task of the lecture is to delineate the contours of South East Asian systems of literature and analyse the place of belletristic genres within these hierarchical systems.
