\"Verge:<\/a><\/span>Editors: Tina Chen and Eric Hayot<\/div>\n

Verge: Studies in Global Asias <\/em>is a new journal that includes scholarship from scholars in both Asian and Asian American Studies. These two fields have traditionally defined themselves in\u00a0opposition to one another, with the former focused on an area-studies, nationally and politically oriented approach, and the latter emphasizing epistemological categories, including ethnicity and citizenship, that drew mainly on the history of the United States.\u00a0 The past decade, however, has seen a series of rapprochements in which, for instance, categories \u201cbelonging\u201d to Asian American Studies (ethnicity, race, diaspora) have been applied with increasing success to studies of Asia. For example, Asian Studies has responded to the postnational turn in the humanities and social sciences by becoming increasingly open to rethinking its national and regional insularities, and to work that pushes, often literally, on the boundaries of Asia as both a place and a concept. At the same time, Asian American Studies has become increasingly aware of the ongoing importance of Asia to the Asian American experience, and thus more open to work that is transnational or multilingual, as well as to forms of scholarship that challenge the US-centrism of concepts governing the Asian diaspora.<\/p>\n

Verge <\/em>showcases scholarship on \u201cAsian\u201d topics from across the humanities and humanistic social sciences, while recognizing that the changing scope of \u201cAsia\u201d as a concept and method is today an object of vital critical concern. Deeply transnational and transhistorical in scope, Verge<\/em> emphasizes thematic and conceptual links among the disciplines and regional\/area studies formations that address Asia in a variety of particularist (national, subnational, individual) and generalist (national, regional, global) modes. Responding to the ways in which large-scale social, cultural, and economic concepts like the world, the globe, or the universal (not to mention East Asian cousins like tianxia <\/em>or datong<\/em>) are reshaping the ways we think about the present, the past and the future, the journal publishes scholarship that occupies and enlarges the proximities among disciplinary and historical fields, from the ancient to the modern periods. The journal emphasizes multidisciplinary engagement\u2014a crossing and dialogue of the disciplines that does not erase disciplinary differences, but uses them to make possible new conversations and new models of critical thought.<\/p>\n

First issue is tentatively planned for publication November 2014.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
