Aims and scope
Inter-Asia Cultural Studies (IACS) gives a long overdue voice, throughout the global intellectual community, to those concerned with Inter-Asia Processes. The journal includes discussion, reports and analysis from global critical circles, and especially from marginalised sites, with the aim of enhancing the communication and exchange between inter-Asia and other regions of the cultural studies world.

Inter-Asia Cultural Studies:

– provides a forum for scholars working in cultural studies in Asia

– responds to the re-centering of cultural studies outside the Anglo-American axis and participates in cultural politics at a local level, but with an international agenda

– constructs a “critical inter-Asia subjectivity,” drawing on local critical intellectual traditions while making global links with other cultural studies networks

– problematizes “Asia” in the context of Asia’s post-war economic and cultural resurgence and its troubled history as colonised and coloniser

– links cultural studies practices to the new social and cultural movements.
