东南亚地块
东南亚地块（英语：Southeast Asian Massif）或译为东南亚高地、东南亚山地，是人类学家Jean Michaud于1997年提出的地理区域概念[2][3]。该概念旨在讨论居住在亚洲大陆东南部大约300米以上的土地上人类社会的问题，因此不仅限于传统的东南亚山地地区。它涉及10个国家或地区：中国西南部、印度东北部、孟加拉国东部、缅甸、泰国、越南、老挝、柬埔寨、马来半岛和台湾的高山地带。在这些限制范围内的人口约为1亿，这还不包括过去几个世纪来在这片高地周围定居的其他居民。
东南亚地块的概念在地理上与2002年Van Schendel提出的佐米域（Zomia；源于生活于缅印交界的佐（米）族）的东部部分重叠。相对于佐米域强调对该地区历史和政治诠释，东南亚地块更多地被视为地区和社会空间[4]。
有提议将东南亚地块单列为亚洲研究的一个细分领域，因为这一地区长期归属于不同政体，且皆为弱势和边缘化的地带，因此常常在国别研究内欠缺关注。
文化和现状[编辑]
东南亚地块的地理、政治和文化样貌皆颇为破碎多元，分属多国的控制[5]。东南亚地块从未统一，甚至从未归属于同一政治或文化圈；当地长久维持着类似于欧洲封建制度的世袭领主统治[6]。
东南亚地块的住民长期是其低地宗主的人力物力储备地，及与他国的缓冲地[7]。
有调查表明，东南亚地块的住民普遍身为所在国的“少数人群”，其地位倾向于边缘化，有着与主流人群不同的认同感和地理上的边缘感。学者泰瑞·兰博从越南的角度出发，称之为“迷幻的噩梦[8]”。
学者Jean Michaud指出，东南亚地块的住民经常被称呼为“国家少数群体”，而Michaud质疑这个词汇，首先并不应冠以“国家”，因为高地居民是跨国群体，且不应以“少数”形容，因为其总规模并不少数；甚至“群体”一词也有问题，因为这些人群并不足以构成有凝聚力的团体[9][10]。

For this dictionary, a compromise solution has been adopted, which was to accept official national ethnonyms but correct mistakes whenever possible and cross-reference to alternative names. Close to 200 ethnonyms thus have their own entries, which is the largest number the relatively humble format of this series allows.

. This editorial develops two themes. First, it discusses how historical and anthropological approaches can relate to each other, in the field of the highland margins of Asia and beyond. Second, it explores how we might further our understandings of the uplands of Asia by applying different terms such as ‘Haute-Asie’, the ‘Southeast Asian Massif’, the ‘Hindu Kush–Himalayan region’, the 'Himalayan Massif', and in particular 'Zomia', a neologism gaining popularity with the publication of James C. Scott's latest book....
