For its fifth volume, the Journal of the European Association for Chinese Studies (JEACS) invites scholars to submit papers on Exegesis and Commentary in the pre-modern, modern, and contemporary Chinese world.

- Margins, marginality, and page layout,
- Commentaries, legitimacy, and canonization,
- Gloss, elucidation, explanation, and translation,
- Ways of rephrasing, relocating, illustrating, re-expressing,
- Layers of exegetical texts: accumulation, digression, or dialogue,
- Intellectual traditions and knowledge transmission,
- Types of relations between base text and commentaries,
- Commentaries as separate texts,
- Genre-dependent commentaries,
- Reading transformations and the performativity of commentary,
- Self-commentary.
