Trans-Humanities is an academic journal for envisioning the new horizon of the humanities. The
journal is published by Ewha Institute for the Humanities (EIH) which performs the Humanities
Korea (HK) project since 2007 with its agenda “Trans-Humanities: Reimagining and Reconstructing
the Human Sciences.” Trans-Humanities aims to contribute to the recognizing and understanding of
the humanities in practical ways by discussing them in terms of newly forming, transforming, and
creating knowledge that transcends the rigid boundaries of such categories as region, race, gender,
capital, language and culture. The following, main fields of study for Trans-Humanities move toward
transgressing and transcending multiple boundaries according to trans-cultural transformation:
modern and trans-modern knowledge, the speciality of East Asian knowledge, knowledge discourse
and representation, the performativity of the subject of knowledge, digitalization of media and
transformation of knowledge, and comparative literature and translation theory studies.
