This talk examines the nature and legacy of Majapahit, one of Southeast Asia's greatest kingdoms, existing between 1293 and 1527. Beginning with some of the latest developments in the archaelogy of Majapahit, Professor Vickers will then look at the different ways that Majapahit has remained important to Southeast Asian culture, particularly through the spread of the Panji stories (known as Inao in Thailand). He will also discuss the legacy of Majapahit in Bali, and the ways that Balinese culture in turn helps to understand Majapahit.
