卷首語


    《區(qū)域》由清華大學(xué)人文與社會科學(xué)高等研究所（Tsinghua Institute for Advanced Studies in Humanities and Social   Sciences）主辦。清華大學(xué)人文與社會科學(xué)高等研究所正式成立于2009年，以促進人文與社會科學(xué)的高等研究為宗旨，其前身是清華大學(xué)人文與社會科學(xué)高等研究中心（2006)。從世界范圍來看，高等研究，特別是人文與社會科學(xué)的高等研究正在經(jīng)歷重要的變化。以往的高等研究完全以歐洲和美國為中心，雖然也邀請少量的其他地區(qū)的學(xué)者擔(dān)任研究員，但研究方案的制定多以歐洲和美國的人文與社會科學(xué)研究為中心。在中國設(shè)立人文與社會科學(xué)高等研究所至少有下述三個方面的意義：第一，有助于將中國和亞洲地區(qū)悠久和豐富的人文學(xué)術(shù)傳統(tǒng)帶入高等研究的范疇，為當(dāng)代世界的人文與社會科學(xué)研究提供新的資源和視野；第二，有助于將中國社會主義歷史和改革過程的經(jīng)驗帶入高等研究之中，為當(dāng)代世界有關(guān)經(jīng)濟、社會和文化變遷的研究提供新的活力；第三，有助于在中國學(xué)術(shù)研究與世界其他地區(qū)的學(xué)術(shù)研究之間展開對話、交流和合作，改變目前主要以歐洲和美國為中心的高等研究格局，為中國和亞洲學(xué)者加入國際學(xué)術(shù)對話提供重要的制度前提。
    高等研究所不同于中國研究所或國學(xué)研究所，它以跨學(xué)科、跨文化、跨區(qū)域、跨國界的研究為特征，致力于人文與社會科學(xué)領(lǐng)域基本理論的探索和突破。本集刊標(biāo)題中的“區(qū)域”概念并不是一個特指的地理范疇，而是一個體現(xiàn)著混雜、交往、跨界和多重認(rèn)同的空間概念。《區(qū)域》發(fā)表人文與社會科學(xué)各領(lǐng)域的論文，尤其鼓勵那些立足基礎(chǔ)研究，提出新問題、貢獻新視野和方法的作品。本集刊以亞洲研究為中心，但也鼓勵跨區(qū)域的研究。歡迎投稿，我們將遵循嚴(yán)格的評審制度，及時向作者做出回復(fù)。




Remapping


    Remapping is published by the Tsinghua Institute for Advanced Studies in Humanities and Social Sciences (TIAS). First established in 2006 as the Tsinghua Center for Advanced Studies in Humanities and Social Sciences，TIAS was founded in 2009 to promote advanced studies in humanities and social sciences. 
    The field of advanced studies，particularly in humanities and social sciences，has been undergoing momentous transformation worldwide. Earlier institutions of advanced studies centered on Europe and the U.S.. While some scholars from beyond these areas participated as well，research projects typically pivoted on Europe and the U.S..
Hence to set up an institute for advanced studies in humanities and social sciences in China creates the following possibilities:
    Firstly，to introduce the long and rich tradition of scholarly research in China and in Asia into the category of advanced studies and provide new resources and perspectives for humanities and social sciences in the contemporary world;
Secondly，to bring the experience of socialist history and reform in China into the perspective of advanced studies and inject a new dynamism into contemporary discussions on economic，social and cultural transformations;
    Lastly，to promote the dialogue and cooperation between researches carried out in China and in other areas of the world in order to transform the current Europe-U.S.-centered framework of advanced studies and construct a crucial institutional premise for scholars from China and Asia to join international scholarly conversations.
     An institute for advanced studies differs from institutions of Chinese studies or of“national learning”(guoxue). Characterized by interdisciplinary，cross-cultural，trans-regional and trans-national research，we aims at exploring and making breakthroughs in the fundamental theories of humanities and social sciences. The notion of“remapping”in the title of this series shifts our attention from specific topographic categories to a concept of space that highlights hybridity，interaction，boundary-crossing，and multiple identification. Remapping publishes papers spanning all fields of humanities and social sciences and encourages in particular works that are based on fundamental research and raise new problematics or adopt new methodologies. While Asian studies is emphasized，we also encourage cross-regional research. Submissions are welcome and will go through a strict peer-review process. We strive for a short review circle and provide constructive comments.
