CRASSH's theme for 2011-13, Cultures and Politics of the Transregional, explores the dynamics of human and cultural transitions across political, cultural, linguistic and economic borders. New transregional constellations prompt a reassessment of historical forms of relationship between global regions, which may have been obscured by a tendency to focus attention on the regional as a category of understanding and disciplinary organisation. Adopting a wide comparative perspective in both geographical and historical terms, and considering both bilateral and multilateral forms of relationship, the work on this theme will focus on achieving a better understanding of the dynamics of flow and the systems of regulation and resistance that operate between and across regions.
