• The articles feature a number of innovative perspectives on the cross-regional religious connectivities of Indonesia and Malaysia.1 They mirror the increasing scholarly attention paid to the international entanglements of these two countries’ religious ecospheres and, more broadly, the transregional dynamics of Southeast Asia. [...]they attend to the growing turn toward conceiving of social, political, economic, and religious phenomena as able to transgress geographical boundaries, thereby forming new ‘regional’ or spatial entities that are not necessarily defined by territorial or maritime space. In doing so, the meaning of transregional remains blurry. [...]for the sake of clarity, but without any claim to offer an exhaustive definition, we suggest conceiving of the transregional as a perspective: a vantage point from which to direct one's gaze at the very near or far environment and its happenings. [...]we thank Mirjam Künkler for numerous insightful comments when the paper drafts were first presented at the conference of the European Association for Southeast Asian Studies. 1 The papers were first presented to the 2019 conference of the European Association for Southeast Asian Studies (EuroSEAS) held at Humboldt-University Berlin. * Corresponding author.
