ABSTRACT Like the rest of the world, Asians have been living through extraordinary times in 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic is still raging in many parts of the region, disrupting entire economies, families, public as well as private life, and schooling. The inter-Asia cultural studies project fundamentally depended on actual connections between scholars and activists across the region, made possible by easier boundary-crossings under globalisation. In the new contactless world, our knowledge projects have to be re-imagined, our methodologies remade. While we are not yet on the path to doing that, this piece offers some experiential reflections about the pandemic world across Asian time-zones.

亚洲间的大流行病

摘要与世界其他地区一样，亚洲人在2020年度过了不平凡的时期。COVID-19大流行仍在该地区许多地区肆虐，扰乱了整个经济，家庭，公共及私人生活和教育。亚洲间文化研究项目从根本上取决于整个地区学者与激进主义者之间的实际联系，这是由于全球化下的越界越容易实现的。在新的非接触式世界中，我们的知识项目必须重新设计，我们的方法必须重新设计。尽管我们尚未走这条路，但这篇文章提供了有关亚洲时区大流行世界的一些经验性反思。
