思考主題方向集錦

以下來自"robable Spam] H-ASIA: CFP Interdisc. Graduate Conf, Middle East, South Asia & Africa, Columbia University, April 2010"建議思考方向的內容:

Exchange

Where can exchange take place? Are ideas, practices and texts like commodities? Is a relationship of exchange necessarily symbiotic or can one side really take without giving or give without taking?

Circulation

How do ideas and cultural practices move? How do repetitive movements of groups, for example, religious pilgrims, shape consciousness?

How have the Indian Ocean and overland caravan routes linked Africa, the Middle East and South Asia?

Borders and Frontiers

What forms can a border take besides the modern political boundary? Is there a frontier mindset on every border?
