Abstract
This paper examines intercultural exchanges between Europeans and Indians and Burmese in the exploration of new notions of geography, cartographical technologies, and the influence of both in shaping Burmese worldviews in the early modern period. The paper locates the origin of some of the most dramatic changes in indigenous cartographical approaches and understandings of the outside world on the political periphery and not at the centre, thus contributing to a growing body of literature that shifts attention to the margins of society in seeking to understand early modern intercultural exchange.
