This project situates itself within postcolonial studies while decisively striving to look beyond the postcolonial lens. It seeks to understand how preoccupation in Asia with its past and present produces knowledge relevant to challenging knowledge regimes considered to be ‘alien’ in addition to the production of ‘alternatives’. The proposed collaboration between scholars in Germany and in different parts of Asia aims to bring together expertise and stimulate research across countries and academic disciplines. It is dedicated to the elaboration and proposal of a future-oriented agenda for academic knowledge production in and about Asia as it combines attention to corpuses, forms, and sites of knowledge that actors in Asia consider relevant; those seen as either alternatives or important responses to the ‘world culture’ spreading within postcolonial coordinates. The project seeks to enquire into a common set of issues while striving (a.) to uncover differences and similarities in knowledge production and circulation, (b.) to compare these practices and (c.) to observe how connectivities as well as mutual observation and exchange shape different regions in Asia and its connections to the other parts of the world. The approach is multi-scalar, taking regional, national and local debates into consideration and privileging micro-processes and constellations that require intimate knowledge of languages, cultures and religions. For this purpose, the project will benefit from the expertise brought together by the humanities, sociology, anthropology, and political science. The project revolves around three areas of scholarship: the first area addresses critical questioning in the frameworks of postcolonial and neoliberal critique, reflecting upon the situated character of knowledge production and circulation; the second area is dedicated to tracing and understanding alternative discourses in and about the generation of knowledge in Asia; to alternative practices of knowledge dissemination, especially in learning and schooling, and forms of embodied, emotional, and sensorial knowledge in Asian perspectives. The third area traces entanglements such as connectivities made through knowledge production and circulation in Asia and beyond – how knowledge shapes interconnections and how it is changed as it travels. Following the overall program design of the Shaping Asia networking Initiative, the project pools the expertise of leading scholars in the fields of knowledge production and circulation. For this purpose, it is essential to map out the relevant fields, identify and strengthen commonalities, and further stimulate innovative, collaborative research. The team will engage in different forms of exchange (use of internet platforms, joint writing sessions and publications as well as in other activities of dissemination) while using a series of workshops for discussing their findings, methodologies, approaches, and analyses on a continuous basis.

这个项目定位于后殖民研究，同时果断地努力超越后殖民透镜。它试图了解如何在亚洲的关注与它的过去和现在生产的知识相关的挑战知识制度被认为是“外来”除了生产的“替代品”。拟议中的德国和亚洲不同地区学者之间的合作旨在汇集专业知识，促进跨国家和跨学科的研究。它致力于制定和提出一个面向未来的议程，在亚洲和关于亚洲的学术知识生产，因为它结合了关注语料库，形式和知识的网站，在亚洲的行为者认为相关的;那些被视为替代品或重要的反应“世界文化”在后殖民坐标传播。该项目旨在探讨一系列共同的问题，同时努力（a）揭示知识生产和流通中的差异和相似之处，（B.）比较这些做法和（c.）观察连通性以及相互观察和交流如何塑造亚洲不同地区及其与世界其他地区的联系。该方法是多层次的，考虑到区域、国家和地方辩论，并考虑到需要熟悉语言、文化和宗教知识的微观进程和群体。为此，该项目将受益于人文学科、社会学、人类学和政治学的专业知识。该项目围绕三个学术领域展开：第一个领域在后殖民和新自由主义批判的框架内提出批判性质疑，反思知识生产和流通的位置特征;第二个领域致力于追踪和理解亚洲知识产生中的替代话语;知识传播的替代实践，特别是在学习和学校教育，以及亚洲视角的具体形式，情感和感官知识。第三个领域追溯了亚洲及其他地区通过知识生产和流通而形成的联系-知识如何塑造相互联系以及知识如何在传播过程中发生变化。该项目遵循塑造亚洲网络倡议的总体方案设计，汇集了知识生产和流通领域的领先学者的专业知识。为此，必须规划相关领域，确定和加强共同点，并进一步鼓励创新和合作研究。该小组将参与不同形式的交流（利用互联网平台、联合撰写会议和出版物以及其他传播活动），同时利用一系列讲习班持续讨论其调查结果、方法、办法和分析。
