Note publique d'information : This volume confronts the idea of universal science from the perspective of area studies,
offering fruitful debate between Southeast Asian Studies and variegated disciplinary
vantage points. It provides a platform for dialogue and constructive friction between
divergent approaches to knowledge generation, while taking into consideration the
area-specific contexts of research practice and bringing to attention cross-cutting
methodological issues. The contributors investigate issues such as the tension between
disciplinary mainstreaming and suggestions for decentering, diversifying and decolonizing
methodology; the relevance and practice of different forms of contextsensitivity in
research; contrasts and comparisons suitable to the ambitions of area studies. The
research approaches covered in this volume range from quantitative, to qualitative
and mixed-methods research, from econometrics to participation and collaboration,
and from text analysis to field research. Working in a variety of disciplines both
within and outside of Southeast Asian Studies, the contributors addresse the burning
question of how to ground research practice in area-specific, yet globally entangled
contexts such as 'Global Southeast Asia' (site de l'éditeur)
