Oriens Extremus invites contributions to a special section on changing notions of childhood and education in East Asia. Child and youth education has been a primary concern for East Asian societies for more than two millennia. From pre-natal education to primers, “family instructions,” private tutors, and national universities, concepts of childhood and education have influenced East Asian cultures in manifold ways.

Oriens Extremus calls for papers that deal with these concepts from a historical perspective and address issues and questions like the following: How did social transformations affect the conceptualization of childhood and education? In which ways are they reflected in changing school curricula? How did they relate to concepts such as “individuality,” “personhood,” “morals,” and “ethical relations”? How were concepts of childhood expressed in poetry and the visual arts?

Moreover, Oriens Extremus continues to welcome articles from any field pertaining to East Asian cultural and intellectual history. We also encourage the submission of reviews and review articles at any time.… Read more ⤻

We would like to invite proposals for articles for an open access academic English language blind peer review journal ‘International Journal of Area Studies‘ to be published in October, 2013. This issue is devoted to Chinese and Taiwanese studies.

We are interested in receiving article proposals related to different facets of the aforementioned scientific fields.

EUROSINICA is a book series for monographs of various thematic focuses, sharing the goal of studying culture and literature in contemporary or historical contexts. The series, under the imprint of Peter Lang, was founded in 1984 by the German sinologist Günther Debon (1921–2005) and the Canadian comparatist Adrian Hsia (1938–2010); so far, thirteen books have been published. While the founding editors placed the emphasis on the transfer processes of classical literary works and motifs between cultures, the continuation of their work requires new approaches.

Rather than operate within the conceptual framework of “cultural dialogue” between an East and a West viewed as distinct entities, the series editors tend to a view of cultures in contact. EUROSINICA is accordingly open for studies and interpretation of authors, personalities, genres and individual works committed to an understanding of humanity as a common source of values which, rather than be impeded by cultural, linguistic or ethnic disparity, are being reshaped and reinvented in different settings.… Read more ⤻
