*Call for Papers*

Cultural Typhoon 2019 at Keio University (Tokyo, Japan)


    *[Alt]+[CS]=? *


    *Towards an Alternative Cultural Studies*

Cultural Typhoon was first held at Waseda University Tokyo in 2003 under the theme ‘Expressive Culture and Anti-Globalization in the Global Era’. A certain current of emotion that emanated there induced us—Keio University team—to stage a guerrilla performance in front of the Okuma Auditorium at the university. Fast-forward a few years and now we are organizing the seventeenth Cultural Typhoon for 2019. As you know, Cultural Typhoon became an academic association in 2012, and thus an institution. Considering the backlash in recent years against the humanities, social sciences and liberal arts, the need to support the careers of young scholars and postgraduate students, the possibility of promoting international academic networks, and the sustainability and legitimacy granted to academic associations, we are sure that institutionalization was the right way to go. It’s important, however, to continue the tradition of searching for new modes of knowledge that resist institutionalization, one which has always informed Cultural Typhoon and Cultural Studies. CT2019 hopes to inhabit a liminal space between institutionalization and non-institutionalization, to sway between academia and its alternatives. It’ll escape definition up until the last. It may act square, or maybe it’ll stick out its tongue and taunt. Let’s discover alternative culture/society/politics through this enduring dynamism. CT2019 would like to offer a space at Mita Campus, Keio University, where crazy and serious people can come together to rethink this turbulent, uncomfortable time, dialogue and dance. We must not forget that Cultural Typhoon is, first and foremost, a typhoon!
