Concepts hold the world together. But what happens when the world
fragments, explodes in war, faces the epistemic collapse wrought
by AI, or the ravages of climate spun out of control? Concepts
also disintegrate, lose their self-positing status. And yet
critique does not simply dissolve in conditions of radical
uncertainty. There is a hunger to critique. It finds new forms,
partial, provisional, forged from within instability rather than
above. Transit Asia Critical Concepts emerges from this conceptual
turbulence.<br>
<br>
The concepts gathered in this book are not designed to map Asia,
to fix its contours, or confirm its coherence. They move across
Asian environments, through infrastructures of labour and
logistics, inside computational architectures and their human
remainders, against the unevenly distributed catastrophes of
climate and war in ways that exceed the regional frame they
inhabit. That excess is not incidental. It is what thinking from
Asia produces, a movement beyond the cultural imaginaries,
institutional settings, and lived encounters that give Asia its
apparent shape.</p>
