One of the strengths of the Asiascape programme is that it combines varying cultural and educational backgrounds through its contributors. Posts under the “multi-vistas” label aim to make the most of this opportunity, focusing myriad perspectives on specific topics, such as how markets for similar products differ from region to region and how each contributor approaches specific pieces of media, in order to provide a more well-rounded view overall.
As only a handful of different writers could not possibly constitute a truly “complete” image of anything, the goal of multi-vistas is not to be a comprehensive showcase. Rather, it is to encourage everyone, including those involved with this blog, to be conscious of the fact that there are always gaps in knowledge and understanding, and that the first step to filling them is to be open to the views of others.
Asiascape Vistas is a forum for discussion about the many and various dimensions of cyberculture found in or originating from East Asia. Its focus is on the interplay between these media and questions of politics & philosophy. Contributions are from the academic collective responsible for the core project, but other contributions will also be considered by that collective.
