Call for Panels

The general theme of the 2013 conference is “Beyond the Culture 
Industry”. In the past two decades, the cultural sphere of rising Asian 
economies has increasingly shifted from being marked by the politics of 
authoritarianism and democratization to being pervaded by the market 
logic of deepening capitalism. The development of Asian culture 
industries has come under increasing scrutiny in cultural studies. 
However, we note that the emphases have been on the cultural policy of 
developmental states and the production of the cultural economy. For the 
2013 conference, we seek to move beyond these emphases and inquire into 
the politics of culture that accompanies the neoliberalization of the 
cultural sphere.

We welcome panel proposals of 3-4 papers based on the general theme and 
other important topics in inter-Asia cultural studies today. Panels 
proposed will be listed on the Submitted Panels page on the IACS Society 
website. We will only accept panel proposals, not individual paper 
proposals. To facilitate panel construction and encourage interaction 
between scholars, we will be providing the CFP Bulletin Board for 
prospective panel organizers to put up their panel ideas and contact 
email — interested presenters are encouraged to either look for a panel 
to join or to put up a panel idea on the Bulletin Board. The call is now 
open — please submit your panel proposal using our online form.

Accommodation information, registration fees schedule, and other details 
about the conference will be updated here when they are confirmed.
