Metaphors about Islands

“Metaphors about Islands” uses islands as metaphors to depict abstract concepts such as relationships between groups and individuals, different types of political cultures, collective narratives, forgotten histories, and ideal futures. By carefully organizing the contextual connections such as the origins of religions, colonial histories, geographical locations and cultures, it develops a relational graph of religion in Southeast Asia.
