Significant Others, Significant Encounters

Essays on South Asian History and Literature

This volume is dedicated to Maya Burger, professor emerita at the Faculty of Arts, University of Lausanne. It gathers contributions by friends, colleagues, and former students that echo the multiple dimensions of her work. Organised in four parts, Indology, History of Religions, History of Orientalism, and Hindi and Translation, these contributions explore different examples of encounters with “significant others”. Analysing original historical and literary sources and reflecting on the methodological dimensions, the authors offer innovative perspectives on various processes of interaction and exchange between the Indian subcontinent and the wider world and within the subcontinent itself.

Philippe Bornet is a senior lecturer in the Study of Religion and South Asian Studies at the University of Lausanne. His work focuses on the history of cultural exchanges between South Asia and Europe, and more specifically, on missionaries in South India, in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Nadia Cattoni is a senior lecturer in South Asian studies at the University of Lausanne. Her research area is early modern North Indian literature, with a focus on court poetry, erotics, aesthetics, and women’s writing.
