[ecrea] Call for Papers: Cultural Typhoon 2019: [Alt]+[CS]=? Towards an Alternative Cultural Studies

*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!
