Résumé

At this time of shifting foundations in Sudan, which became two separate Sudan republics with the 2011 secession of the south, we invite historians, anthropologists, linguists, political scientists and others to engage in a similar process of rethinking. Two questions stand behind this undertaking. First, can we continue to speak and write about a single "Sudan Studies" field now that a split has occurred? And second, what has Sudan Studies been, and how must it or should it change? Answering the latter question may help to address what some critics have described as the insularity of the scholarship on the region: a tendency to describe the Sudan and Sudanese states as having been unique and incomparable relative to other places and polities (Willis 2001; Vezzadini 2012).
