# Event Details

- **Event Name**: SEA seminar | Temporalities of memory: Religion, history, and the unstable past in Java
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 17 Jun, 2026 at 12:00 pm – Wed, 17 Jun, 2026 at 01:30 pm
- **Event Description**: How have the Javanese, in the course of history, engaged with their own past? What kinds of past were important to specific communities, and how did they go about retrieving and recording it? And what can these processes tell us about the relationship between these historical imaginations on the one hand and understandings of temporality, textuality, and metaphysics on the other? 

This seminar engages these questions through a preview of two forthcoming books, Wayan Jarrah Sastrawan’s The Precarious Past in Premodern Java and Verena Meyer’s Theologies of Remembering: Modernity, Ambiguity, and Transcendence in Islamic Indonesia. Bringing into conversation sources ranging from medieval, Hindu-Buddhist Java to contemporary Muslim life, the seminar exhibits the plurality of historical paradigms and their significance for the Javanese over time.

Speakers: Wayan Jarrah Sastrawan (Australian National University), Verena Meyer (Leiden University)
Discussants: Ben Arps (Leiden University), Adrian Perkasa (KITLV)
Moderator: Marieke Bloembergen (KITLV/ Leiden University)
