This volume, edited by Kwai-Cheung Lo and Hung-chiung Li, explores the notion of entangled waterscape to reflect beyond the traditional continental perspectives. It understands Asia and beyond through the multifaceted interplay of history, economics, politics, culture, and ecological concerns.

The conceptualization of waterscape echoes contemporary geopolitical tensions, economic interdependencies, military strategies, and historical-cultural dynamics, offering fresh viewpoints on rethinking cultural politics and engaging with Anthropocene concerns and ecological imperatives. The volume reverberates with the discourses of the Global South, complicating prevailing worldviews and ideological underpinnings, and thereby prompts a re-evaluation of the concept of “Asia.”

The story of the battle of Mohács and of King Louis II’s dramatic escape, only to meet his end by falling from his horse and drowning in the stream of Csele, is well-known. These traumatic events have been seen as symbolizing the fall of the independent Hungarian Kingdom and the dawn of an age of oppression.
This volume presents new research on these events and their interpretation, focusing on topics such as battlefield reconstruction, troop involvement, firearm use, and later political use and abuse of the memory of the battle.
Contributors are Pál Fodor, Péter Gyenizse, Erika Hancz, Máté Kitanics, Sándor Konkoly, Dénes Lóczy, Tamás Morva, Norbert Pap, Júlia Papp, Gábor Szalai, and Gábor Varga.
