This interdisciplinary research project is a critical and comparative history of collecting in mainland Southeast Asia in the 19th and 20th centuries. It proposes to examine the biographies of the British Museum's mainland Southeast Asian collections, and to incorporate the analysis of modes of object ownership, of perceptions of value, and of exchange practices with reference to the accumulation of family heirlooms and communal palladia (sources of protection and legitimation), as well as to diverse modes of object circulation.Whilst attending to the Southeast Asian collections as a whole the project will bring a particular focus to the art and history of ethnic Shan and Kachin communities, objects associated with which feature as a large part of the collection. The project will make a significant contribution to the development of improved understanding of, and thus also to the interpretation of, the collected objects. The ethnographic fieldwork element in particular will contribute to the improved understanding of how artefacts are made and their symbolic meanings within particular cultural contexts. Key research questions- What specific forms of object ownership, perceptions of value, and modes of exchange were operating in the selected mainland Southeast Asian region and time period?- How did multiple European and local spheres of operation overlap and intersect at specific historical moments?- How did the current shape of the British Museum's mainland Southeast Asian collections emerge from these encounters?- How can the investigation of these processes enrich the concept of provenance to expand beyond traditional biographies of collectors and descriptions of objects in their cultural context?

这个跨学科研究项目是对 19 世纪和 20 世纪东南亚大陆收藏的批判性比较史。它建议研究大英博物馆东南亚大陆藏品的传记，并结合对物品所有权模式、价值观念和交换实践的分析，参考家庭传家宝和公共帕拉迪亚（保护和合法化的来源）的积累，以及物品流通的多种模式。在关注整个东南亚藏品的同时，该项目将特别关注 掸族和克钦族社区的艺术和历史，与之相关的物品是馆藏的很大一部分。该项目将为增进对所收集物品的理解以及对所收集物品的解释做出重大贡献。民族志实地考察元素尤其有助于加深对文物的制作方式及其在特定文化背景下的象征意义的理解。关键研究问题 - 在选定的东南亚大陆地区和时间段内，有哪些具体的物品所有权形式、价值观念和交换模式？ - 欧洲和当地的多个运作领域如何在特定的历史时刻重叠和交叉？ - 大英博物馆东南亚大陆藏品的当前形态是如何从这些相遇中形成的？ - 对这些过程的调查如何丰富出处概念，使其超越传统的传记范畴？ 收藏家及其文化背景下的物品描述？
