ISSN: 0721-4073

Die Reihe Soziologie und Anthropologie widmet sich engagierter Forschung zu aktuellen und gesellschaftspolitisch relevanten Themen. Ein Schwerpunkt der Reihe liegt auf empirischen und ethnografischen Arbeiten, die eine Brücke zwischen gesellschaftlicher Analyse und anthropologischer Forschung schlagen und über die jeweiligen Grenzen hinaus eine Bedeutung entfalten können. Themen wie Sicherheit, Überwachung, Polizei, Rassismus, Migration, Grenzen, Intersektionalität, Macht und Herrschaft sind dabei ebenso vertreten wie Ansätze aus der kritischen Kriminologie oder Geografie, der politischen Anthropologie oder der Stadtforschung. Ziel der Reihe ist eine kritische, perspektivenvielfältige und emanzipatorische Wissenschaft.

Modernity in Question

The main idea behind this interdisciplinary series is to publish works of philosophers on topics related to contemporary debates on modernity and post-modernity. In philosophy as well as in human sciences, the concept of modernity has been widely discussed for decades, particularly after the collapse of communism. That crisis has been commonly described as the end, if not of modernity as such, at least of some modernity. Different terms like post-modernity or reflexive modernity indicate not only transformations in social, economic and political structures, but also in manners of thinking, of conceptualising reality. The series is open to collaborative works between East- and West-European scholars. Authors are welcome to submit manuscripts for monographs, anthologies and post-conference volumes.

From Antiquity to Modernity

ISSN: 2328-9236

"From Antiquity to Modernity: Studies on Middle Eastern and Asian Societies is a series focusing on aspects central to Middle Eastern, Central Asian, and South Asian societies in the past and the present. It is designed to contribute toward better understandings of those important regions’ peoples. Original research within the disciplines of anthropology, archeology, art history, cultural studies, economics, history, history of science, international relations, languages, literatures, politics, religions, and sociology will be published. Interdisciplinary, cross-disciplinary, and multidisciplinary studies are welcome as well. So are ones that advance methodologies relating to complexities of the Middle East, Central Asia, and South Asia. Manuscripts can be single- authored or co-authored; edited volumes that form a cohesive body of knowledge will be considered, too. Each book-length manuscript will undergo editorial and peer review prior to acceptance for publication. Individual volumes in From Antiquity to Modernity are of particular value to individuals studying and investigating the Middle East and Asia at universities, think tanks, and governmental and nongovernmental agencies while also being of interest to the general educated reader.
