ANOR is an open access, peer reviewed book series edited by Manja Stephan-Emmrich and Jeanine Dagyeli who took over in Autumn 2021 from the previous editorial team Ingeborg Baldauf and Jürgen Paul. The series features original research in the Humanities and Social Sciences on Muslim Central Asia and adjacent regions.
ANOR aims at a shift of perspective: By taking the historically consolidated region of Central Asia with its five former Soviet republics, Xinjiang and Afghanistan, including its multiple diasporas, as its focus and point of departure for analysis, ANOR employs area as a method. The series publishes empirically and linguistically grounded research from the Humanities and Social Sciences on and from the region.
The Editorial Board of ANOR invites proposals for small to medium-length monographs (including outstanding MA theses), collaborative writing projects or collected volumes that are based on original research and profound regional expertise. ANOR especially seeks contributions from Anthropology, History, Area Studies, Literary Studies, Linguistics, the History of Ideas, Digital Humanities and Human Geography that tackle relevant issues in the field of Central Asian Studies and/or explore novel methodologies, approaches and theories.
Potential authors should consult the ANOR Mission Statement.
