Brill to Publish TRANSLOCAL CHINESE: EAST ASIAN PERSPECTIVES (TCEA)
By: BWW News Desk Oct. 19, 2015
As of 2015, Brill is to publish Translocal Chinese: East Asian Perspectives (TCEA)????????for the Society of Overseas Chinese Studies (SOCS), Taipei, Taiwan.
Brill, an international scholarly publisher, adds the peer-reviewed journal Translocal Chinese: East Asian Perspectives to its growing portfolio of journals on Asian Studies. TCEA, a sequel to the Journal of Overseas Chinese Studies (JOCS) which has been published in Taiwan since 1989, is a result of the collaboration among the Society of Overseas Chinese Studies (SOCS), Taipei, Taiwan, the Research Center for the Overseas Chinese (RCOC), Department of East Asia Studies, National Taiwan Normal University, and Brill.
A transdisciplinary journal devoted to the studies of overseas Chinese communities in all their manifestations and contestations, TCEA focuses, however, on the region of East Asia, including research on overseas Chinese border crossing networks disseminated from or converged in (pen)insular countries or zones such as Japan, North and South Koreas, the Ryukyus, Taiwan, Kinmen (Quemoy), Hong Kong and Macao, as well as research on other mobile groups which are connected to, or whose experiences could be compared with overseas Chinese in and from East Asia.
Prof. Ling-chi Wang, Distinguished Professor at University of California, Berkeley, founder of ISSCO (the International Society for the Study of Chinese Overseas): "[This journal] is admirable and most deserving of international support. The study of Chinese overseas is urgently in need of new paradigms to take the place of the same old paradigms. Hopefully, the revived periodical will help advance the field."
Prof. Takeshi Hamashita, Professor and Dean of the School of Asia-Pacific Studies, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China: "This journal is an interesting and challenging project, particularly so because of its spatial focus on (pen)insular East Asia."
