PublicationsCSEAS PublicationsTonan Ajia Kenkyu (Japanese Journal of Southeast Asian Studies)The first issue of our quarterly journal Southeast Asian Studies (SEAS) was published in June, 1963, prior to the Center’s official establishment in 1965, when CSEAS was first formed as a semi-official body within Kyoto University to coordinate the teaching and research of Southeast Asia. SEAS has since grown to be one of the leading journals on Southeast Asian studies in Japan and abroad. In its seventh volume in June, 1969, the editorial board introduced a referee system thus establishing SEAS as a professional international journal. Reflecting the CSEAS principle of fieldwork-based, interdisciplinary, and contemporary approaches, SEAS has published works from various fields of study on Southeast Asia, including the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities. The lifespan of the journal has coincided with great changes in Southeast Asia. We strive earnestly to contribute to the creation of new perspectives on Southeast Asia through an in-depth and intrinsic understanding of Southeast Asian ecology, society, and culture and via the deployment of comparative methodology to clarify the diverse characteristics of Southeast Asia. Contributions based on original research are highly appreciated. Southeast Asian Studies (English Journal of Southeast Asian Studies)Since its first publication in 1963, the bilingual quarterly Southeast Asian Studies (SEAS), Kyoto University has reflected the Center for Southeast Asian Studies’ strong commitment to publishing the best of empirically grounded, multidisciplinary, and contemporary research on Southeast Asia and related areas. In 2012, we re-launched Southeast Asian Studies as an all-English journal, alongside its Japanese sister journal, Tonan Ajia Kenkyu. Intended for a regional as well as global readership, Southeast Asian Studies is published three times a year. The new journal aims to promote excellent, agenda-setting scholarship and provide a forum for dialogue and collaboration both within and beyond the region. Southeast Asian Studies engages in wide-ranging and in-depth discussions that are attuned to the issues, debates and imperatives within the region, while affirming the importance of learning and sharing ideas on a cross-country, global, and historical scale. An integral part of the journal’s mandate is to foster scholarship that is capable of bridging the continuing divide in area studies between the social sciences and humanities, on the one hand, and the natural sciences, on the other hand. To this end, the journal welcomes accessibly written articles that build on insights and cutting-edge research from the natural sciences. journal also publishes research reports, which are shorter but fully peer-reviewed articles that present original findings from specific research projects or outcomes of research collaboration. Kyoto Review of Southeast AsiaThe Kyoto Review of Southeast Asia was launched by the Center for Southeast Asian Studies, Kyoto University, in March 2002 to promote exchange among the intellectual communities of Southeast Asia. Our goal is to bring news of important publications, debates, and ideas that circulate within various national discourses into the growing regional discourse of intellectuals in and outside of the universities. We recognize that the number of national languages in the region is a key obstacle to deepening mutual knowledge. We therefore use translation ― into English and into regional languages ― to facilitate informed discussion. We also promote more sustained engagement between university-based intellectuals and those working in NGOs, journalism, and cultural production. Each KRSEA issue is organized around a theme and includes major review essays, shorter book reviews of scholarly work, reprints (often translated) from popular fora like newspapers, and features ranging from interviews to field notes and conference reports. We decided to publish KRSEA primarily in the internet to expand our network of readers and contributors. The internet also enables us to reach out to communities far from national centers, as well as communities who use the internet more quickly than they can build traditional research libraries. KRSEA is a bi-annual publication. Kyoto CSEAS Series on Asian StudiesIn recognition of the rapid growth of quality scholarship in East and Southeast Asia, this series was inaugurated in 2009, in order to promote and make this fine scholarly output available globally. Through the NUS Press network, the distribution is quite wide. Due to the width of the targeted audience, we aim to produce works that will make significant contribution to the field of Southeast Asian studies, with clear and concise arguments on relevant questions in the field. The refereeing process is overseen by both the publication committee at CSEAS and the NUS press, by a selection of top scholars in the field. The final production is done by NUS press. Kyoto Area Studies on AsiaThis Series was inaugurated in 1999 as a sister series of the Japanese Chiiki-Kenkyu-Sosho. It is a co-production between Kyoto University Press and Trans-Pacific Press of Australia. As with its Japanese counterpart series, it was primarily designed as an outlet for CSEAS faculty’s work. However, after 2000, we have opened it to submissions from area studies scholars from all over Asia. Increasing globalization has rendered all the more important our endeavor to understand the region and to address issues that arise from the region. On the foundation of our accumulated scholarship, this series seeks original contributions to Southeast Asian Studies, and prioritizes scholarly works based on sound research data and discussions with originality from Japan and all of Asia. The refereeing process is carried out by the publications committee of CSEAS, by requesting three top specialists in the field. Production is done by Trans-Pacific Press. Monographs of the Center for Southeast Asian StudiesThis series was inaugurated in 1966 at the time of the foundation of CSEAS, along with the Japanese language series, Tonanajia-Kenkyu-Sosho. University of Hawaii Press has published the titles after Volume 7, and presently there are 21 titles. Submitted manuscripts first go through the refereeing process by the publications committee of CSEAS, where three top scholars in the field are asked to referee. Then, the manuscript is sent to the University of Hawaii Press, where it undergoes the press’s own editorial screening. As a university press, high readability and marketability is required in addition to scholarly merit. Chiiki-Kenkyu-SoshoThis series started in 1995, celebrating the 30th anniversary of CSEAS. It has become a well-recognized series for their high-quality title, several of which have won prizes. Tonan-Ajia Kenkyu-SoshoThe first book in this series was published in 1966, almost at the same time that the Center was founded. After the 4th volume, Sobunsha (Tokyo) published up to Vol.24 the final volume in 1991. Of all the volumes, 14 were monographs by CSEAS staff or related scholars, 8 were edited volumes, and 2 were translations. The edited volumes include collections of representative works by CSEAS staff on the occasions of the 10th, 15th, and 20th anniversaries. One might say that each volume opened new horizons in the field of Southeast Asian Studies at the time. Research Report SeriesResearch Report Series includes the proceedings of symposia and reports of joint reserch projects which are published by the Center. Reports may be obtained on request to the editors of the individual reports. CSEAS Bibliographical SeriesCSEAS Bibliographical Series are focused on the bibliographical research on Southeast Asian Studies related resources. Kyoto Working Papers on Area StudiesKyoto Working Papers on Area Studies is a series published jointly by the four area studies institutions on Kyoto University campus: the Center for Integrated Area Studies (CIAS); the Graduate School for Asian and African Area Studies (ASAFAS); the Center for African Area Studies (CAAS); and, Center for Southeast Asian Studies (CSEAS). Faculty members, young scholars and graduate students affiliated with these institutions are all welcome to contribute a paper in this series. OthersCSEAS faculty and researches publish books in Japanese and/or English. These books have been received favorably by academics and the general public, with a number receiving awards in Japan and elsewhere for their contributions to their respective disciplines and country of study. |
