Scope/Description:

The geographical scope of the journal is as vast as Asia itself. Its historical scope encompasses all periods up to around 1900.It is our hope that contributors will freely develop the Through the LookingGlass aspect of history by implementing a variety of methodological approaches and utilizing a wide range of textual and nontextual sources. In particular we welcome explorations of particular phenomena or events that provide insight into the dynamics of historical processes elucidate historical change at turning points of history and illuminate the conditions of all things that follow them.In addition to studies on isolated phenomena which have played a crucial role in changing the course of history we also welcome investigations that take the essential concepts such as basic assumptions of everyday life or the dominant ideas of a certain age as their starting point and examine their Sitz im Leben setting in life. These essential concepts have in their respective eras been taken for granted to such an extent that they were hardly mentioned in contemporary accounts. Thus studies of this type should shed light on both the simple habits and the concepts commonplace to people of different social background living in the respective era.Further we hold those studies in high esteem whose focus lies on the variety of meanings implied in the Chinese notion of Dao the Way travel and pilgrimage itineraries routes of transport encounters exchanges contact zones and conceptions of spatial order. Of particular interest to us are the social networks of negotiations over time and space such as the various ongoing internal dialogues within certain communities and the external influences exerted upon them.
