The Ecole française d’Extrême-Orient (EFEO, French School of Asian Studies) has been carrying research in Asia for more than 120 years. Some of its early scholars were active in China and collaborated with Academia Sinica and its Institute of History and Philology since their establishments in the 1928. Postwar academic contacts and exchanges led the EFEO and Academia Sinica to foster closer cooperation between their researchers and, thirty years ago, to the foundation of the EFEO Taipei Center, first hosted by the Institute of Modern History, then in 1996 by the Institute of History and Philology.
Scholars of both institutions have constantly engaged in multiple research fields and cultural areas, from ancient and modern history to anthropology, archaeology, and epigraphy, stimulating cross-disciplinary projects and exchanges on the past and present of Taiwan, China, Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia, and leading to many lectures, conferences, research projects, and edited books organized together in Taipei, in Paris or elsewhere in Asia.
The celebration of the 30th year of this close and fruitful cooperation provides us with the opportunity to gather for two days at the Institute of History and Philology more than thirty scholars from multiple French and Taiwanese research institutions - Academia Sinica’s Institute of History and Philology, Institute of Modern History, and Institute of Taiwan History, Tamkang University, National Cheng Kung University, EFEO, University Côte-d’Azur -, to present and reflect on past joint projects and new directions for historical and cultural studies in Asia.
Organized around five panels highlighting the current cooperation and presenting the history of EFEO and IHP’s researches, recent trends in Asian religious studies, new developments in the research about navigation practices and maritime landscapes in Asia seas, the renewal of institutional studies and archival research, and current issues in Asian prehistory and archaeology, the conference also puts a special focus on some of the EFEO and the IHP’s research topics: IHP’s research on the history of health and healing, and on ancient wooden slips; research on Japanese religions, epigraphic and archaeological research in Mainland and Island Southeast Asia, and historical research in India at the EFEO and its Asian centers.
