Asian Anthropology (AA)

Asian Anthropology seeks to bring interesting and exciting new anthropological research on Asia to a global audience. We understand Asia not as a geographically fixed location with clearly demarcated borders, but as a social construct that is dynamic, relational, and evolving through interactions, transnational flows, and critical dialogues with multiple social actors at both institutional and individual levels. We try to move beyond the area studies paradigm which risks essentializing Asian cultures as bounded entities and perpetuating hierarchical relations between the so-called centers and peripheries. Instead, we embrace the concept of ‘global Asia,’ or, ‘Asia in the world,’ to attend to new and historical contexts such as migration, transnationalism, diaspora, cultural mixing and hybridizing, borderland politics, global pandemics such as Covid-19, geopolitical tensions between Asian countries and those in the Western world.
