This panel focuses on the interplay between epochal events and mobility. How have transformative events and developments such as modern transport revolution, urbanization, wars, and disasters shaped channels of and imaginations on mobility? The panel discusses both religious and secular actors who encountered various social worlds and idealized spaces, and produced meanings out of their relocations. Attention to travelers and sojourners, which necessarily requires contextualization across regions, potentially offers alternative, global modes of periodization that center on actors, one that is grounded in China but transcends it.
