This database archives and categorizes different intellectual, critical, and creative works that seek to theorize the diverse realities of Southeast Asian contexts. Such works are organized according to individual countries as well as the region as a whole.
This table of resources aims to identify primary and secondary materials that can be used and explored for further academic studies and artistic projects.
By definition, a database is continually adding and expanding. One important goal of our archive is to act as a platform for spotlighting works within the region that would have otherwise stayed unknown and neglected.
If you would like to recommend any works that could be included in our database, kindly fill up this form here. These would be collated and updated on the last day of each month.
