PLCS 19. Parts of Asia. Goa, Macao, East-Timor
Guest editor: Cristiana Bastos, ICS, University of Lisbon / Brown University

Enclaves, memories, invented traditions, creative genealogies, historical events, identitarian strategies, scientific statements, cultural assemblages, musical styles, political transitions, migrations, linguistic formations, imperial passions, post-colonial writings, tensions, mutual accommodation… Lusophone resonances in Asia are about all of that and more. The special issue “Parts of Asia – Goa, Macao, Timor? will bring together works that explore past and present connections between Portuguese culture and Asian experiences in a broad sense (Asia will include Australasia and the Pacific; Portugal stands for actual Portuguese experience of representations of the Portuguese).  We invite authors in the social sciences and humanities to submit abstracts to the journal and contribute to an innovative volume.
