Asian Ethnology is a semi-annual, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the promotion of scholarly research on the peoples and cultures of Asia. It began in China as Folklore Studies in 1942 and later moved to Japan where its name was changed to Asian Folklore Studies. It is currently edited and published at Nanzan University in Nagoya, Japan.
Asian Ethnology seeks to deepen understanding and further the pursuit of knowledge about the peoples and cultures of Asia. We wish to facilitate intellectual exchange between Asia and the rest of the world, and particularly welcome submissions from scholars based in Asia. The journal presents formal essays and analyses, research reports, and critical book reviews relating to a wide range of topical categories, including
narratives, performances, and other forms of cultural representation
popular religious concepts
vernacular approaches to health and healing
local ecological/environmental knowledge
collective memory and uses of the past
cultural transformations in diaspora
transnational flows
material culture
museology
visual culture
