Significant Others, Significant Encounters

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.
