[ecrea] Call for Paper Reminder: IACS Conference 2017 in Seoul

—————————————

*CFP 2017 INTER-ASIA CULTURAL STUDIES CONFERENCE*

SungKongHoe University, Seoul, Korea, July 28-30, 2017

__

*MAIN THEME*

“Worlding: Asia Beyond/After Globalization”

Globalization as a concept has reached an impasse exhausted of its 
potential to generate imagination and critique. Hence worlding, defined 
in various ways such as “the whole new way to globalize” and “the art of 
being global”. In worlding, we are invited to re-imagine globalization 
in a new light unaffected by the dominant discourses of state and 
business. Unlike globalization, wording is neither a fatalistic 
structural force nor the triumphant sweep of neoliberal capitalism. It 
is practice of world-making, a pursuit of an alternative globalization 
(or globalizations).

The Inter-Asia cultural studies scholarship has been an effort to engage 
in cultural and intellectual construction of Asia. What Asia has been 
made during this initial phase? What Asia should be made in the future? 
With the theme of worlding, the 2017 conference hopes to re-examine the 
efforts thrown thus far and to appreciate emerging trans-bordering forms 
in Asia outside or in the gaps and cracks in the neoliberal hegemony. 
The term should open up new research areas and agendas of inter-Asia 
cultural studies.
