 Preface
The variations of the name Southeast Asia (South East Asia, South-East Asia, Southeastern Asia etc.) have occurred with differential frequencies in the literature, and have in part reflected varying political relations with the region adopted by the naming country.
The term "Southeast Asia" leads to a reification and projection of a spurious sense of homogeneity, unity and boundedness onto the region it delimits on the globe, one that is actually as culturally diverse and complicated as it is historically entangled and unbounded.
The inter-regionality and fuzziness of Southeast Asia is reflected in the cross-disciplinary character of its study.
