ABSTRACT Although people live with uncertainty all their lives, only in recent years has critical, sustained attention been paid by the social sciences to how uncertainty figures in — and is arguably central to — attempts to make sense of the world and to act within it. Region-thinking and region-making efforts under the rubric of “Southeast Asia,” “Asia-Pacific,” “East Asia,” “Trans-Pacific,” and “Indo-Pacific” can be seen as attempts to manage the risks and uncertainties that attend the actions of major powers and the responses provoked by unfolding economic and political events. Regional perspectives have been important for understanding the contingency, historicity, and connectivity of Asian developments in politics, culture, and economy. These perspectives can be enriched by incorporating contributions from the humanities that have long been attentive to the workings and implications — aesthetic, ethical and political — of uncertainty. Social scientists have been inspired by literary studies to pay closer attention to the storytelling devices that shape the narratives that social sciences as well as political and economic actors create about politics and the economy. The art of border-raiding entails ranging freely across disciplines, regardless of the intellectual tariff barriers put up by various disciplines.

突发事件的故事，或不确定时期的边界突袭艺术

摘要尽管人们一生都充满不确定性，但直到最近几年，社会科学才一直在不断地关注不确定性是如何使世界变得有意义并在其中采取行动的，并且可以说是至关重要的。在“东南亚”，“亚太”，“东亚”，“跨太平洋”和“印度太平洋”的标题下进行的区域思考和区域建立工作可以被视为管理风险和降低风险的尝试。大国行动的不确定性以及不断发生的经济和政治事件引起的反应。区域观点对于理解亚洲在政治，文化和经济方面的发展的偶然性，历史性和连通性非常重要。通过融合长期以来一直关注不确定性的工作和含义（美学，伦理和政治）的人文贡献，可以丰富这些观点。社会学家受到文学研究的启发，更加关注讲故事的设备，这些设备塑造了社会科学以及政治和经济参与者关于政治和经济的叙事方式。跨边界的艺术需要在各个学科之间自由地变化，而与各个学科所设置的知识关税壁垒无关。社会学家受到文学研究的启发，更加关注讲故事的设备，这些设备塑造了社会科学以及政治和经济参与者关于政治和经济的叙事方式。跨边界的艺术需要在各个学科之间自由地变化，而与各个学科所设置的知识关税壁垒无关。社会学家受到文学研究的启发，更加关注讲故事的设备，这些设备塑造了社会科学以及政治和经济参与者关于政治和经济的叙事方式。跨边界的艺术需要在各个学科之间自由地变化，而与各个学科所设置的知识关税壁垒无关。
