Aims & Scope
Re:Locations: Journal of the Asia-Pacific World (ISSN 2562-9972) is an open-access journal that invites critical interdisciplinary engagement across the vast thematic areas of Asia-Pacific scholarship. The Journal seeks to foster dialogue among scholars who engage with ideas that shape social, spatial, cultural and political dialogues, within and across borders. Additionally, the Journal aims to create space for interdisciplinary conversations in international relations, art and culture, geography, political science, and a wide range of other related fields.
Areas of dialogue and debate include, but are not limited to:
• Critical engagement with materiality
• Collective, public, social and shared memory
• Colonial and postcolonial urbanization
• The politics of spatiality and temporality
• Political ecology, the politics of the environment, and post-human politics
Publication Types
Re:Locations offers two (2) publication types, both of which are open access. This aligns with our commitment to disrupting the hierarchies of scholarship and modes of inquiry within the academy.
We encourage original works that challenge the boundaries of disciplines, area studies, scholarly formats, theory, methodologies, geographies, and scales.
| Publication Type | Scholarship | Review Process |
|---|---|---|
| Peer-reviewed | Hosts rigorous, original scholarship in both traditional and non-traditional formats. | All submissions undergo rigorous peer review, following initial editorial screening. |
| Non-peer-reviewed | Highlights creative writing, book reviews, field notes, audio/visual arts, etc. | All submissions undergo rigorous in-house review, following initial editorial screening. |
