>> *Animal Subjects in South Asia*
>>
>> *Abstract*
>>
>> Animals are intricately woven into the histories, ideologies, images, and
>> texts of South Asia. Likewise, human lives in South Asia have perennially
>> existed alongside non-human animals within shared ecologies. Recent decades
>> have been marked by the “animal turn” across the scholarly landscape, and
>> the introduction of animal studies into South Asian studies is already well
>> underway. This symposium radically centers animals in our study of South
>> Asia without decentering humans, exploring human understandings of specific
>> animals throughout the historical period, from deep history to the present
>> day.
>>
>> The symposium dedicates more than half of our attention to one very
>> exceptional animal—the elephant—with the rest of our time reserved for
>> other animals in South Asia. Our research concerns animals as beings of
>> their own. At the same time, focusing on animals only aids our
>> understanding of human histories, stories, archaeologies, ethnographies,
>> and geographies.
