ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

The sea is a barrier that separates people, while also connecting them as a path
that enables them to come and go freely. When we focus on the sea called “the
Indian Ocean” and consider how the people living around it have imagined it and
what it has brought to them, the inherent ambiguity of the sea also comes to the
fore. Specifically, while the Indian Ocean has emerged as a barrier, it has also
continued to play a rich role as a mediator.



The Indian Ocean World, stretching from Southeast Asia to India and Africa, is a
place of exchange among different cultures and peoples, where ideas and
philosophies influence each other, and many religions coexist. While previous
studies have focused on individual countries and events in relation to adjacent
regions, positioning the Indian Ocean World as a single cultural zone and
viewing micro-phenomena from a macro-perspective will provide a new horizon of
research.

In this symposium, we set up four sessions to consider the question of how
literature, culture, thought, and language in Southeast Asia, India, and Africa
are continuous or disconnected on the stage of the sea, which has the dual
nature of barrier and mediator.

Just as organisms in the sea are dispersed by ocean currents and transformed
into new forms when they arrive at new destinations, we would like to depict the
various metamorphoses of literature, culture, thought, and language in the
Indian Ocean World.
