Welcome to Volume 2
Number 2 of the Graduate Journal of Asia-Pacific Studies. The theme of
this edition is ‘Asia-Pacific Border and Boundary Crossings’.
Borders and boundaries function as a means to distinguish difference.
Lines of separation, whether physical or metaphorical, may also
constitute a barrier since demarcation works to exclude as well as to
contain. Consequently, border and boundary crossings not only imply
change and mobility, but the potential for the disruption of prevailing
social, cultural, economic and political practices. The dynamism of the
Asia-Pacific region is inherently unsettling to the reassurance of
stable, clear-cut categories that borders seem to offer. The articles,
creative writing and artwork of the current edition address the border
and boundary crossing theme from a variety of disciplinary and
methodological perspectives, which we believe will be of interest to
specialists and readers from other disciplines alike.
