Publications New Issue of the Journal of Transcultural Studies
A new issue of the Journal of Transcultural Studies was published at the beginning of March.
It features articles by Jay Prosser (Leeds), Alexander Vesey (Tokyo), Ori Sela (Tel Aviv) and Dhruv Raina (New Delhi/Pune). The contributions probe transcultural aspects of sites of Jewish memory in Singapore; trace the itineraries of religious pilgrims and the tourists walking in their steps on Enoshima Island, Japan; examine the transnational formation of the contemporary Chinese notion of civilization; and evaluate calls for epistemic justice in the rewriting of South Asian histories of science. Together, the articles confirm the versatility and continued vitality of the transcultural perspective, even, or perhaps especially, in times when political tides seem to have tilted toward disconnect and conflict.
