Call for Paper

Conference Theme: Agency, Activism, and Alternatives
Date: November 13-15, 2009
Venue: SungKongHoe University and Vabien Suites(Seoul, Korea) 1
Host: Institute for East Asian Studies (IEAS), SungKongHoe University
Contact: 2009spices at gmail.com

Statement: Agency, Activism, and Alternatives
Ten years later a crisis hits Asia again! Since late 2008, the rosy promises
of neo-liberal globalization have faded away under the global economic
recession initiated by the U.S. financial crisis. If this is the end of
neo-liberal globalization as we know it, what are we being thrown into? What
is certain is that it brings us to another historical conjuncture; perhaps
just as serious as in the near past and we never know in advance at this
moment.

We currently maintain hope that the crisis offers us a new source for
reimaging various socio-cultural changes, just as former crises that
occurred throughout the modern period in Asia were transformed into
opportunities for change, and as always, that new types of subjectivities
will emerge. Faced with an upcoming era of shifts and challenges, one can
sense that the location of culture within Asian societies can be
repositioned, and that activism for exploring alternatives for broader
socio-cultural change has to be rethought. This year’s conference will
explore how cultural practices have responded to the processes of the
present crisis, as well as those of past crises.

The conference also aims to facilitate not only new mappings of cultural
reconfigurations of different parts in Asia, but also common grounds for
critical reflection by intellectuals in the region. With common interests
and desires articulated from different places, we anticipate new insights
into the age of global crisis, and the pursuit of multiple and alternative
ways of repositioning culture.
Panel Streams include:
Alternative Media Activism, and Communication Democracy
Emerging New Subjectivities and Agencies
Alternative Forms of Cultural Production and Representation
The Politics of Memory and History and (Post) Colonial Criticism
Border-crossing, Transculturation and Cultural Hybrids/Nomads
