Aims & Scope
As a theory-oriented journal, it particularly emphasizes theoretical depth and breadth, in distinction from other journals which focus on or confine themselves to either textual interpretation or historical resource retrieval – both of which can be important in their own right.
TSLA embraces a wide scope of inquiry, ranging from remote and antique Chinese literary and art theory to state-of-the-art literary and art theory and criticism, and from classical Western aesthetics and literary theory to contemporary concerns.
It also values comparative perspectives, engaging with both China and the West, and with both antiquity and modernity.
TSLA also takes its place in the movement towards cross-disciplinary studies the humanities and social sciences.
For instance, in addition to its long-established aesthetic, cultural and art studies, TSLA also publishes articles on (or from the perspectives of) cultural studies, political sciences, sociology, history studies, and anthropology.
Each of its six annual issues features two or three special topics, engaging prestigious scholars in direct or indirect dialogue, through the juxtaposition of their respective studies on the same topic(s) or issue(s).
This practice always informs and inspires scholarship in a particular academic area, thus becoming highly visible.
