Introduction | THCI Core. Concentric: Literary and Cultural Studies is a peer-reviewed journal published two times per year by the Department of English, National Taiwan Normal University, Taipei, Taiwan. Concentric is devoted to offering innovative perspectives on literary and cultural issues and advancing the transcultural exchange of ideas. While committed to bringing Asian-based scholarship to the world academic community, Concentric welcomes original contributions from diverse national and cultural backgrounds. Concentric engages in intellectual discussion by publishing groups of essays on special topics as well as papers on more general issues. The focus can be on any historical period and any region. Any critical method may be employed as long as the paper demonstrates a distinctive contribution to scholarship in the field. Concentric boasts a strong editorial and advisory team composed of respected scholars from across the world. The journal has also collaborated with several distinguished scholars as guest editors, such as Hanping Chiu, Wlad Godzich, María Herrera-Sobek, Serenella Iovino, Chaoyang Liao, Shirley Geok-lin Lim, Fang-mei Lin, Joyce C.
