Dvaravati and Culture: Between Tradition and Innovation
What do we really know about Dvāravatī? It is often referred to as a kingdom, a time period, a material culture, a geographical entity or an art style in ancient Thailand. But what is the archaeological evidence for such claims? Who were the inhabitants in central Thailand in the 7th‒8th centuries ce and what language(s) did they speak or use? What was their relationship with neighbouring cultures? Did they share common cultural and religious practices? What about the art produced? This lecture will highlight some of the peculiarities of this pre-Thai material culture clearly grounded in a foreign Indic tradition and yet with salient local innovations. The audience will also get a better definition and understanding of Dvāravatī and the early history of Thailand in its broader context.
