This may include studying the materials fr om which the text is constituted\n(writing surface, ink, pigments, binding) , paratextual aspects (illumination, annotation, mise en page), means of pr oduction (scriptoria, lithographic presses), and the social and physical lo cation of texts (networks of distribution, reading practices, libraries). W hile pioneering work has been done on the materiality of South East Asian w riting traditions, there remains much to discover. At the same time, large- scale digitisation projects that promise to reshape what is known about Sou th East Asian writing traditions are in progress. While there are obvious b enefits in terms of preservation and accessibility, other effects have not been considered. What becomes of a palmleaf or dluwang manuscript, once res tricted to a particular set of readers in a monastery or a pesantren, when it is dematerialised into a series of digital image files, accessible to an yone from anywhere in the world?\nPapers are invited on any aspect of hand- inscribed texts, including epigraphy, from South East Asia in terms of thei r materiality and/or their transformation to another material form (i.e. pr int) or dematerialisation as digital image. This remit is intentionally bro ad, to bring together scholars working on diverse aspects of the myriad wri ting traditions of South East Asia, with a view to fostering unexpected and productive discussions.
