A growing interest in heritage-making at both national and gl obal levels has further elevated the significance of manuscripts alongside other objects, sites, and landscapes. Collaborative digitisation projects i nvolving academic institutions, government agencies, and non-governmental o rganisations have made manuscripts from both institutional and private coll ections increasingly accessible. Yet, one consequence of digitisation has b een the ‘dematerialisation’ of manuscripts – a return to earlier scholarly practices that privileged textual content while relegating the material for m to the background. Against this backdrop, this panel seeks to foreground renewed attention to the material dimensions of textual cultures.\nWe invit e contributions that move beyond textual analysis of manuscripts and printe d books to consider how technologies, both old and new, shape their product ion, preservation, and use. Papers might explore how choices of material an d format were imbued with sacred or symbolic significance, how they informe d practices of making and reading, how material and technological forms med iate meaning, or how manuscripts may be “read” through their material prope rties. We also welcome studies that address intertechnological exchanges; i nteractions between local and transregional traditions and techniques of bo okmaking; or the coexistence of handwritten and printed books within the sa me historical context. Committed to an interdisciplinary approach to textua l traditions, we aim to contribute to a renewed understanding of manuscript and print cultures in Southeast Asia.
