Journals

The Australian Centre on China in the World currently supports two journal publications: China Heritage Quarterly and East Asian History.

China Heritage Quarterly

China Heritage Quarterly is an e-journal established in 2005 and edited by Geremie R Barmé. It covers recent developments and scholarship in areas related to China's heritage, culture, history and society.

Each issue of China Heritage Quarterly provides readers with a particular focus on an aspect of the Chinese world. The Focus is amplified in detail in the Editorial which is followed by Features, a section containing articles related to the theme of the issue. Articles contains scholarly and other studies of various aspects of China's cultural heritage or pieces on topics of relevance or interest, while New Scholarship introduces recent scholastic endeavours, conference reports, book reviews, material on recent monographs and, when appropriate, bibliographical material related to the focus of the issue.

This online quarterly is produced under the aegis of the China Heritage Project in the Australian Centre on China in the World (CIW), which is itself within the ANU College of Asia & the Pacific. The project provides a focus for university-wide research on traditional China, its modern interpretations and recent scholarship. Under the direction of Geremie Barmé, the Project advocates a 'New Sinology' that builds on traditional Sinological strengths while emphasising a robust engagement with the complex and shifting realities of contemporary China.

East Asian History

The international journal East Asian History is published twice a year, and includes articles on subjects of historical significance in the East Asian area, as well as on issues of contemporary concern or neglected aspects and sub-regions of Asia. Articles on art and architecture, technology and the environment, and the history of ideas, emotions and subjective experience are also welcomed. Contributions are invited from scholars working towards degrees as well as from those already well-established. Manuscripts will be read by at least two referees and under conditions of anonymity as far as possible.

Further information about the journal including subscriptions and contributions can be found on the East Asian History website.
