Launch of the Journal of Sinographic Philologies and Legacies & Call for Papers

The Institute for Sinographic Literatures and Philology at Korea University (Seoul, South Korea) is proud to announce the launch of the Journal of Sinographic Philologies and Legacies (JOSPL), a pioneering venue in the growing field of Sinographic studies. This quarterly, peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary journal is dedicated to the study of the humanistic heritage of East Asia’s Sinographic spherea cultural region where Literary Sinitic (漢文) and Sinographs (漢字) functioned as the cosmopolitan language of government, religious institutions, scholarship, and belles-lettres. JOSPL invites submissions that engage critically with this legacy from a broad range of disciplinary perspectives.

The journal aims to provide an academic platform for scholars worldwide to develop and debate cross-disciplinary, cross-regional, and cross-cultural approaches to the vast humanistic heritage of East Asia. We welcome submissions that discover, reexamine, or newly analyze any aspect of the region’s intellectual, literary, religious, artistic, or scientific legacies helping chart a new paradigm for East Asian Studies in a global and comparative key.

JOSPL is an online publication. Please visit our website at jospl.org for submission guidelines, current and past issues, and more information. The Table of Contents for the inaugural issue is available at jospl.org/newsletter/TOCAlert.php.

Each issue will consist of three sections: (1) a special theme or topic cluster; (2) individual research articles and reviews of relevant new publications in major languages; and (3) occasional essays and brief notices.

We encourage scholars from around the world to engage with East Asia’s humanistic heritage, contributing fresh perspectives and innovative methodologies that promote new interpretations of traditional East Asia, challenge established nation-state-centered narratives, and advocate for studying the region through a broader comparative and global lens. We are especially interested in work that highlights the distinctive practices of creating, transmitting, and preserving humanistic knowledge across the Sinographic sphere.

Looking forward to your contributions!
