The Global Orients Research Cluster (GORC) serves as a collaborative, digital platform dedicated to tracking, mapping, and interrogating cross-cultural encounters across Western Asia, the Asia-Pacific, and Europe. By shifting focus toward historically marginalized archival links—such as German–Philippine and German–Persian crossings—GORC aims to destabilize rigid, Eurocentric geographic categories. Through the lens of transnational poetics and postcolonial cartographies, we actively work to decode how cultural and literary categories are continually transformed in a globalized world.
