Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The journal examines the historical and contemporary conditions of political thought, institutions, and communities, particularly within Islamic and South Asian contexts. It explores themes of loss, destruction, and the interruption or ruin of traditions and communities due to political, colonial, and social forces. The journal also investigates the role of law, tradition, and intellectual habits in shaping modern identities and political possibilities, often through critical analyses of concepts like "incapacitation" and "impossibility."
