Abstract Design historians generally avoid extended self-reflection or discussion of how they conduct research. Typically, they use historical research methods, yet design historians have also used methods borrowed from art history, cultural and literary studies, anthropology, sociology or other social sciences. This Virtual Special Issue, comprising articles drawn from past issues of the Journal of Design History, addresses the state of design history’s methodology. While few authors in the Journal have focused specifically on the topic of methodology, their implicit adoption of an eclectic variety of research methods over the past thirty years is revealing. This Introduction seeks to contextualize a collection of twelve articles within a brief overview of methodologies in history, art history and design history. The articles are then linked to scholarship beyond the Journal of Design History, and the final section presents additional methodological possibilities for design historians.

This Special Issue of Arts investigates the use of digital methods in the study of art markets and their histories. Digital art history or historical research facilitated by computer-technology in general is omnipresent in academia and increasingly supported by an infrastructure of seminars, workshops, networks, journals and other platforms for sharing results, exchanging notes and developing criticism. As the wealth of historical and contemporary data is rapidly expanding and digital technologies are becoming integral to research in the humanities and social sciences, it is high time to reflect on the different strategies that art market scholars employ to navigate and negotiate digital techniques and resources.

Anthropological History

Editor’s Note: Susan Kellogg’s article on anthropology and history continues our special series “History and the Other Social Sciences.” There will be one further article, by David Robertson, on political science and history. An expanded version of the whole series will then be published as a book by Duke University Press.The past, once considered the exclusive domain of historians and antiquarians, has increasingly been embraced by anthropologists. Today, it is difficult to find a major anthropological study that does not claim to offer a diachronic, processual, historical analysis. In examining 10 years of historical anthropological writing, I cover three broad topics in this essay. First, I explain the emergence of a more historical anthropology as a widespread response to a crisis in the conceptualization of culture. Second, I argue that while there are certain identifiable themes that cut across this literature, in general, it reflects long-standing topical interests within anthropology; I review this literature according to these topics rather than divide it into interpretive or cultural studies versus studies of political economy. Third, I try to assess this body of work critically. I concentrate here on anthropological history as both research and textual practice, as well as briefly examine anthropological uses of the concepts of time, colonialism, and structure and agency.

Interdisciplinary Scholarship

This review article treats the booming scholarship on the history of international law over the past decade. Works with a broader view (1), including the recent big-book syntheses and collective works, are contrasted with monographs (2), from studies of treaties and doctrine, over diplomatic practice to scholarship by historians and, finally, interdisciplinary scholarship. This texts provides a personal panorama of the wide array of scholarly perspectives on a common object: rules recognised in the community or society of states. New insights from history and social sciences, especially the turn to global history, open fresh prospects for ‘traditional’ legal historical research. Studying the encounter between ‘European’ international law and other continents rises our indispensable intercultural awareness. Yet, it should also serve to better understand the specificity of European legal thinking or diplomatic practice, and does not render research on the latter obsolete or redundant.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present the contemporary thinking on deliberate lookalikes and to provide a better understanding of its key forms (counterfeits, copycats and no-name imitations) and markets (deceptive and non-deceptive). Design/methodology/approach This editorial contains a review of current and past literature on deliberate lookalikes along with summaries of all the articles accepted for publication in the special issue on deliberate lookalikes. The guest editors used academic databases such as Web of Science to find the most representative scholarly work on deliberate lookalikes literature. Findings This editorial identifies pertinent research gaps in the literature on deliberate lookalikes. The five selected articles address some of these research gaps and provide useful insights on the purchase and usage of deliberate lookalikes along with directions for future research and ways to apply different research methods that could have important implications for scholars and managers. Originality/value The editorial and special issue extends the knowledge about the deliberate lookalikes and their effects on firms, brands and consumers. This work opens new avenues for the research about different forms and markets in the context of lookalikes.

Interdisciplinary Inquiry

This is the opening article in a Human Relations special issue on ‘Interdisciplinary approaches to contemporary career studies’. After introducing a story of an ‘exceptional — but real’ career, we argue for an urgent shift toward greater interdisciplinary inquiry. We reflect on the story to describe differences in the way each of psychology, sociology, social psychology, and economics views the concept of career. We turn to explore what career researchers, representing each of the above social sciences, might not see on their own. In contrast, we highlight how social scientists can move toward a) appreciating the limitations of our separate approaches, b) introducing more appropriate research methods, c) maintaining a wider cross-disciplinary conversation, and d) better serving the client — the person — in our future research. We continue with a preview of the remaining five articles in this special issue, and propose that these can serve as stimuli for a wider conversation.

This article aims is to explain the reason of aristocratic group of Luwu still survive based on a review of political culture of the Bugis. This article presented in a descriptive analysis through the 4 (four) stages of historical research methods, namely the collection of resources (heuristic), criticism source of data, interpretation, and historiography. In addition, the technique of collecting data through interviews. The results found that the traditional political culture of the Bugis, known as siri 'na pesse make an important contribution to the survival of the aristocratic group of Luwu. This political culture present Tomanurung figure as a forerunner to the whole of kings and nobles in South Sulawesi included in Kedatuan Luwu.  Luwu community believe that the descendants of Tomanurung destined to govern. If the ruling is not a descendant of Tomanurung, Luwu people believe that there will be a problem in the country. Apart from the assumption that the presence of this Tomanurung is a myth and as an invention of politics, the existences this character is the beginning of the birth of rulers / kings. The existence of Kedatuan Luwu which still exist today, although its function is not the same as in the past, as well as the elite dominated by the nobility (andi) Luwu is a picture that people still believe in the presence of royalty as the man who is destined to run the government.

Globalisation is a common concept in the social sciences; its meaning, however, is contested. Therefore in the first part the paper provides a framework of the term ‘globalisation’ as well as a definition. This definition is then connected with another contested term: ‘tourism’. In the second part, the research methods used to research globalisation and tourism in a case study area, the Otago Peninsula in Dunedin, New Zealand, are outlined. The research methods are linked with specific historical developments in the case study area in the past, the present and the future. The third part gives some preliminary results of the ongoing research project. Of particular interest is the model that links the history of the Otago Peninsula and its environments, tourism and globalisation.

The Paṇai Inscription was found in the temple complex in Padang Lawas. There is the word "Paṇai" written on the insciption. "Paṇai" is also written on the Tañjore Inscriptions and Nāgarakṛtāgama. The two written sources informed that in the past Chola and Majapahit kingdoms wanted to conquer several regions in Sumatra, including Paṇai. Both show that Paṇai was a potential and important area so that both kingdom wanted to conquer it. However, it is not known exactly where the location of Paṇai as referred to the two written sources yet. The research of this case has not been done much. Some researchers try to find the answer. Most researchers study it based on written sources from abroad. In this paper, through the Paṇai Inscription, the interpretation was made that the location was Padang Lawas. This can be seen from the contents of the inscriptions that wrote “Paṇai”and describe the natural conditions in accordance with the location of its discovery. This conclusion was obtained by conducting an in-depth study of the Paṇai Inscription using research methods commonly used in historical research, namely heuristics, criticism, interpretation, and historiography.Prasasti Paṇai ditemukan di Kompleks Candi Padang Lawas. Dalam prasasti tersebut terdapat kata paṇai. Kata paṇai juga tertera pada Prasasti Tañjore dan kakawin Nāgarakṛtāgama. Kedua sumber tertulis tersebut menginformasikan bahwa pada masa lampau Kerajaan Chola dan Majapahit ingin menaklukkan beberapa daerah di wilayah Sumatra, termasuk Paṇai. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa Paṇai merupakan daerah potensial dan penting sehingga kedua kerajaan tersebut ingin menaklukkannya. Namun, belum diketahui secara pasti di mana lokasi Paṇai seperti yang dimaksud dalam kedua sumber tertulis tersebut. Penelitian terhadap kasus ini juga belum banyak dilakukan. Beberapa peneliti berusaha untuk menemukan jawabannya. Kebanyakan peneliti mengkajinya berdasarkan sumber tertulis dari luar negeri, seperti catatan perjalanan. Dalam tulisan ini melalui Prasasti Paṇai dibangun interpretasi bahwa lokasi Paṇai yang dimaksud, baik oleh Prasasti Tañjore maupun kakawin Nāgarakṛtāgama adalah Padang Lawas. Hal ini terlihat dari isi prasasti yang menyebutkan kata paṇai dan menggambarkan keadaan alam yang sesuai dengan lokasi penemuannya. Kesimpulan ini diperoleh dengan melakukan kajian mendalam terhadap Prasasti Paṇai dengan menggunakan metode penelitian yang lazim digunakan dalam penelitian sejarah, yakni heuristik, kritik, interpretasi, dan historiografi.
