Race, Religion and Royalty in Southeast Asia: Reproduced, Resisted,
Renegotiated?
Guest Editors: Dr. Kumaran Rajandran (USM) & Dr. Siti Nurnadilla
Mohamad Jamil (IIUM)

Race, religion and royalty (3R) are relatively entrenched in Southeast
Asia, often constituting the basis of legitimacy to governance. 3R
legitimizes the dominance of particular groups in Southeast Asian
countries and normalizes ethno-religious identities. Despite
Western-based political systems, the region continues to present the
preference for selected groups in various domains. It has not helped
cohesion for its socio-demographic cleavages, namely ethnic,
linguistic, regional or religious.

While the study of 3R has gained adequate focus in various
disciplines, discourse is rarely evoked to understand the relations
among race, religion and royalty in the everyday lives of the region’s
inhabitants. Discourse can articulate arguments for and against the
status quo, becoming orthodox or heterodox. While the study of
discourse often explores how/why 3R is reproduced, its nature and
contours have also been resisted or renegotiated. It reveals the
multifaceted articulation of ‘sensitive’ topics, questioning the
familiar imagined community.

The Special Issue brings together scholars studying Southeast Asia,
whose research explore the manifestation of 3R in texts. We understand
texts to be in audio, print or digital formats, and may use any
Southeast Asian language alone or in conjunction with other modes.
These texts may be official or non-official, outstanding or banal, but
discursively contribute to convey notions of 3R.

We invite abstracts (300-350 words) for articles studying the
articulation of 3R in one or more Southeast Asian country. The
articles (6500-7000 words) should employ linguistic or literary
approaches, and should endeavor to decolonize these approaches. The
use of these approaches on an archive of texts reveals how and why
topics on 3R are resisted or renegotiated despite endeavors to
reproduce dominant interpretations. The articles should also engage in
constructive criticism to build democratic, egalitarian and equitable
societies in this region.

A journal indexed in SCOPUS, ESCI and MyCite has shown positive
interest to publish the Special Issue. Accepted articles are subject
to an article processing charge. For further enquiries and abstract
submission, contact Kumaran Rajandran at rkumaran at usm.my and Siti
Nurnadilla Mohamad Jamil at nadillajamil at iium.edu.my.
