Journal of Burma Studies
Special Issue: PopMyanmar
Volume 28, Number 2 (2024)
The Special issue is introduced by editor Jane Ferguson who states:
Given the tremendous, enduring Burmese interest in—and affection for—local and transnational popular culture, The Journal of Burma Studies is proud to present this special issue: PopMyanmar. Various platforms for popular culture distribution, from print media to music to the internet, are embedded in everyday practices. Pop culture’s modes and meanings of consumption are constantly refashioned through history, taste, and caprice. Yet it is not free for all: these artifacts are still beholden to the political economy at large. Popular culture, as an essential part of modern society’s mainstream, is thus a reflection of its dominant values. As a site for cultural contestation, pop culture can influence imaginings for new political futures.

Buddhist-Christian Studies
Volume 44 (2024)
Editors Thomas Cattoi and Kristin Johnston Largen introduce this issue:
[T]he articles in this issue include several that offer a variety of perspectives on the thought of Thich Nhat Hanh for the sake of a more peaceful and just world. Another article examines whether and how certain interpretations of Theravāda Buddhist doctrines can lead to racist practices and policies. Yet another article looks at the current realities of Buddhist chaplains in the United States, both what they can offer in terms of a unique perspective on spiritual care and also the ways in which they are discriminated in a system that has been so dominated by Christian practitioners. And this is only the beginning. We hope that you will enjoy the breath of perspectives—scholarly, reflective, and practical —evidenced by this issue’s outstanding authors.

Filipino American National Historical Society Journal: Bridges (Vol. 12, 2024) – Now in Print!
The new issue of the Filipino American National Historical Society Journal, Volume 12, focuses on the theme of bridges, taking inspiration from the 1994 speech by founding FANHS president Fred Cordova that honors the Bridge Generation, or second generation of Filipino Americans, for their pioneering work. As guest editor Lily Ann B. Villaraza writes in her introduction to the issue:
Bridges teach us to meet trepidation with tenacity and resolve; they challenge us to face our fears and to move with intention and purpose. Some of these works bridge us to the past; others call on us to think about our collective future. Some of the works bring marginalized narratives to the forefront; others demonstrate connection across generation, ocean, and time. All of these works, in one way or another, bridge our personal understanding of the Filipino American experience to other people’s understanding of the Filipino American experience.
The issue is now available digitally via Project MUSE and in print via subscription with the University of Hawai‘i Press.

Azalea: Journal of Korean Literature & Culture
Special Features: Contemporary Korean Women Writers, Korean Women’s Poetry, Writer in Focus: Kwon Yeo-Sun, Voice from the Colonial Period: Imamura Eiji.
Volume 17 (2024)
Editor Young-Jun Lee introduces the new issue of Azalea with Special Features that focus on the Feminist Reboot of the 2010’s, stating:
Korean literature in the 20th century was dominated by men, but that changed in the 1990s after democratization and the rise of the economy. If you read literary magazines from the 1990s, you will find that names of women writers on the contents pages are strikingly more numerous than those of men. This trend has continued for almost three decades now and it is likely to continue for the foreseeable future, as long as Korean women writers are responding to Korean society, which keeps women in an inferior position. “Feminism Reboot” was one of the critiques of the resilient patriarchal system in Korea.
Personal income in South Korea has recently overtaken that of Japan. South Korea’s rise is not only economic, but also cultural. Pop culture fans, including many young people around the world, are fascinated by Korean culture and new works coming out of South Korea. The popularity of Korean language programs at universities around the world has gone beyond the limits of what those universities can accommodate. And yet, by any standard, it is still undeniable that women in South Korea are victims of serious social inequality.

Korean Studies
Special Section: A Translational Reading of the Invention of Korea’s Confucian Traditions
Special Section: Portrayals of Motherhood in South Koran Popular and Practices Culture
Volume 48 (2024)
Editor Cheehyung Harrison Kim introduces this issue and the two Special Sections:
Two interconnected Special Sections are at the core of this volume. The first is titled “A Transnational Reading of the Invention of Korea’s Confucian Traditions,” exceptionally guest edited by Daham Chong (Sangmyung University). The second is guest editor Bonnie Tilland’s (Leiden University) superb “Portrayals of Motherhood in South Korean Popular and Practiced Culture.” Confucianism and motherhood are notions and practices tied to the ideological perception of constancy, on the one hand, and the shifting epistemological norms based on cultural and historical exigencies, on the other. The authors of the two Special Sections question and explore various historical and cultural predicaments of Confucianism and motherhood in modern and contemporary Korea.
The Special Section on the invention of Confucian traditions begins with Daham Chong’s meticulous account of the influence Max Weber had on modern Korean historians’ comprehension of Confucianism-derived systems in late Koryǒ and early Chosǒn, namely the civil service examination. Young-chan Choi (University of Oxford) adroitly investigates the epistemological changes distinctly occurring in late nineteenth century Korea, in which Confucianism comes to be seen as inferior to the modernist understandings of the world stemming from Protestantism. The postliberation space is Kim Hunjoo’s (Hanbat National University) research area, where the process of remaking Confucianism as a new tradition is carefully scrutinized in relation to the nation building process. The final piece in this Special Section is on literary culture. Owen Stampton’s (University of British Columbia) sophisticated article probes into the tension between tradition and modern life as experienced by women characters in Yi Kwang-su’s 1917 play Kyuhan, as well as discussing the birth of the modern stage in Korea.

Mānoa
Volume 36, Number 1 (2024)
Special Issue: Karahee from the Cane Fields
Guest Editor Rajiv Mohabir introduces this issue:
This special issue of Mānoa represents new writing from established and emerging voices from this particular diaspora, one that I am intimately tied to through my history and through the spirits that haunt me still. The British took Indians from the depots in the then ports of Calcutta and Madras in repurposed slave ships to their settlements and colonies in Fiji, Mauritius, Reunion, South Africa, Jamaica, Trinidad, Guyana, and Surinam. This issue includes writers from these various sites and plantation communities who have Creolized and changed through staying past their indenture contracts. Several generations after this settling by ancestors who were coolies bound to Empire, these writers and artists practice. This issue of writing from the Coolie Diaspora asks: what is the inheritance of the cane field, the cane-sap residue marking the descendants of this system of indenture?

OA Journal Language Documentation & Conservation Gets a Redesign
Language Documentation & Conservation (LD&C) unveils a comprehensive website redesign that enhances the journal’s aesthetic appeal and functionality, elevating the experience for authors, readers, and staff alike.
This project includes the launch of new logos, a refreshed layout for journal articles, and an entirely new website, all thoughtfully crafted to reflect the journal’s connection to the Hawai‘i.
The new LD&C logo was designed in concert with corresponding logos for the affiliated International Conference on Language Documentation & Conservation (ICLDC) and the forthcoming journal section Indigenous Language Rights & Realities (ILR&R), emphasizing the relationship between all three. Each logo represents natural elements significant to Hawaiian culture and place, portraying the palapalai fern, ʻilima flower, and the ʻōhiʻa lehua flower, respectively.
The journal’s PDF layouts have been restructured to present articles in a clean and professional format, reflective of the high-quality research we are proud to publish. The new layout can be seen currently in articles published in Volume 18.
The new website makes it easier to navigate LD&C’s extensive archives, submit manuscripts, and engage with the latest research. This redesign marks a significant milestone in LD&C’s ongoing commitment to excellence and dedication to fostering a vibrant and inclusive scholarly environment.
For more information, please visit the new website at nflrc.hawaii.edu/ldc.
LD&C is sponsored by the National Foreign Language Resource Center and published by the University of Hawai‘i Press.
LD&C is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal focusing on topics related to language documentation and conservation, sponsored by the National Foreign Language Resource Center.
A formal Indigenous driven academic publishing space that privileges and centers the work of Indigenous and Non-Dominant scholars (e.g. elders, language speakers-learners, knowledge holders, cultural practitioners, educators, researchers, advocates, etc.) from a variety of cultural, intellectual, and/or institutional traditions and practices. Coming soon.
The International Conference on Language Documentation & Conservation series, or ICLDC, has, since its inception in 2009, become the flagship conference for the field of language documentation.

EARLY RYUKYUAN HISTORY: A NEW MODEL
The Ryukyu islands have been inhabited by humans for over 30,000 years. Their modern population, however, did not come from stone-age ancestors, nor did distinctive forms of Ryukyuan culture, such as sacred groves or stone-walled castles, emerge from within the islands. Instead, different groups of people lived in the Ryukyu islands at various points in history. Starting with the earliest extant human remains and ending with the formation of a centralized state in the early 1500s, Early Ryukyuan History traces the people, culture, technologies, goods, and networks that entered different parts of Ryukyu over time. In the process, it synthesizes decades of research in archaeology and anthropology, recent advances in genetic evidence, and conventional documentary sources to advance a new model for the early development of the Ryukyu islands, thoroughly rewriting early Ryukyuan history.

Biography
Volume 46, Number 2 (2023)
Editor Craig Howes discusses this edition and unique collection of writing:
[F]rom its first issue in 1978, Biography has been principally a forum journal, dedicated to publishing unsolicited articles from a wide variety of disciplines, and solicited reviews of recent critical and theoretical publications devoted to some aspect of life writing. This issue continues the tradition, and renews this commitment. Seven very substantial articles and twenty-one reviews—nothing else. But a quick comparison of our first and latest issues reveals that some things have changed, largely in response to changes in the field itself. Although Biography declared itself an An Interdisciplinary Quarterly from the start, all of the first six articles dealt with American, English, and French literary or historical subjects. The current issue’s seven articles deal with religious, psychoanalytic, broadcast, graphic, and social media texts from a far wider range of geographic locations—North America and Western Europe, but also the Caribbean, Eastern Europe, and Western Asia, with glances at Africa and South and Eastern Asia for important context.
