note = "Funding Information: In sum, this special forum thinks together mobility studies and archipelagic studies in different literary, cultural, and historical contexts. It explores how thinking with the archipelago shapes the production of knowledge and exposes continuities between continental and extracontinental spaces, particularly concerning colonial violence, racial hierarchies, and differential mobilities. We hope to demonstrate how mobilities challenge spatial formats that are based on principles of territoriality, most notably concepts of region, nation-state, and empire and to draw out new spatial imaginations which emerge from archipelagic epistemes. Last but not least, we would like to thank a number of people and organizations whose astute work and gracious support have made this special forum possible. We thank our peer reviewers for their critical commentary, Ute Rietdorf and R{\"u}diger Lauberbach of SFB 1199 (University of Leipzig) for helping with the logistics of two workshops funded by the DFG, the research platform “Mobile Cultures and Societies” and the FWF doc.funds DOC56-G30 “Cultural Mobility Studies” at the University of Vienna, Philipp Clausberg and El{\'e}onore Tarla for their support in copyediting, and the editorial team at JTAS, especially Pia Wiegmink.",
