As a continent lying to the east of Europe, Asia has been malleable
to different spatial and temporal imaginations and politics. Recent
scholarship has highlighted how the seemingly self-contained
regional configurations of West and Central Asia, South and
Southeast Asia, and East Asia carved by the Area Studies paradigm
reflect changing (geo)political and economic interests than
historical or cultural roots. This volume advances the question as
to what Asia is, and as to whether there existed one or many
Asia(s). It seeks to explore Asian societies as interconnected
formations through trajectories/networks of circulation of people,
ideas, and objects in the longue duree. Moving beyond the divides
of area studies scholarship and the arbitrary borders set by late
colonial empires and the rise of post-colonial nation-states, this
volume maps critically the configuration of contact zones in which
mobile bodies, minds, and cultures interact to foster new images,
identities, and imaginations of Asia.
