Yes, I think the ERC project indeed has the Daśakumāracarita approach ;-)

Best,
Agnes

It reminds me of how some of the adventures in the Daśakumāracarita are narrated. First in his mind the "hero" goes at length through the consecutive actions he will undertake to achieve his aim, and after that we are in a few sentences informed that he had succeeded.

One needs to look at the pdfs at the top of the page: the individual projects sound rather specific, e.g.
"Fellow 1 will aim at achieving the following results: (1) explain how the promotion of Mani’s identity as a healer led to the extension of the new religion; (...)".
"Fellow 14 will aim at achieving the following results: (...) (2) foster research on plants as non-human actors in interdisciplinary medievalist contexts."

Let's hope that people who just did their MA are specialised enough for these tasks.

Best wishes,
Agnes

Dear colleagues,

A big ERC project is looking for PhD students. They do not mention indology or India as one of the areas, but one can easily see how a South Asianist might fit in. Perhaps worth a shot. See the advertisement here:
