This journal focuses on German and European studies from an Asian perspective. While area studies are related, the title does not suggest a primary focus on ethnographic, cultural, or social content, making its intersection with anthropology occasional rather than structural

Contemporary Asian art and Western societies
The expectations modern art has to fulfill are of various kind. Modern art is to be a seismograph of societal developments and thus sensitive to political and economic themes. Thus, Western (critical) contemporary art is in the dilemma to deal with and challenge capitalism in mostly bourgeois frameworks of musealized exhibitions, criticizing political leadership and social inequalities and presenting it largely to exactly the established classes.…
Indian womb - German baby

From a postcolonial perspective, it is also problema…

To do this, this paper will first seek to understand anticommunism as an ideology with consistent logic, but a as a diverse and multilayered, mutable and contradictory affect. This gives the advantage of viewing anti-communism not from the aspect of its production, but …
