In this pioneering volume, leading scholars from a diversity of
backgrounds in the humanities, social sciences, and different area
studies argue for a more differentiated and self-reflected role of
area-based science in global knowledge production. Considering that
the mobility of people, goods, and ideas make the world more
complex and geographically fixed categories increasingly obsolete,
the authors call for a reflection of this new dynamism in research,
teaching, and theorizing. The book thus moves beyond the
constructed divide between area studies and systematic disciplines
and instead proposes methodological and conceptual ways for
encouraging the integration of marginalized and often overseen
epistemologies. Essays on the ontological, theoretical, and
pedagogical dimension of area studies highlight how people's
everyday practices of mobility challenge scholars, students, and
practitioners of inter- and transdisciplinary area studies to
transcend the cognitive boundaries that scholarly minds currently
operate in.
