Neuware -Self-Representation and Presentation of Others in Indic Epigraphica Writing, edited by Dániel Balogh and Annette Schmiedchen, investigates the representation of public personages in inscribed texts from South Asia, focusing on political ideology and patronage policy.

These texts often contain panegyric passages in which the kings and their dynasties, the benefactors and their families as well as religious figures and their lineage are described. In most cases, eulogies to rulers and their ancestors are not factual 'self-representation', yet they convey an image of authenticity and authority. The sources also contain 'presentation of others,' in particular of subordinates, overlords and adversaries. The contributors have paid particular attention to rivalries within and between dynasties as well as to the comparison of the rulers' self-representation with the depiction in the records of their adversaries. They also examine the presentation of religious figures and the relationship between overlords and their subordinates.…
