[Commlist] CFP “Identity Politics in East Asian Popular Culture”

Please see the CFP for the second annual conference of the The East 
Asian Popular Culture Association. Whilst there are both set panels 
there convenors also welcome papers and panel proposal in any aspect of 
East Asian populations culture.  Full details are in the attached CFP.
The East Asian Popular Culture Association (EAPCA) is planning its 
second international conference to mark the 10th anniversary of the 
International Center of Taiwan Studies (ITSC), College of Liberal Arts, 
National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU). The conference is organised in 
collaboration with the Kyushu University Taiwan Studies Program, and 
will be held at Kyushu University’s Nishijin Plaza, Fukuoka, Japan, on 
July 20th -21st 2020. We are seeking up to 75 paper presenters. A 
highlight will be two keynote lectures and an extended session on 
Taiwanese popular culture. Names to be disclosed asap.

EAPCA II is seeking panel sessions that investigate the role of East 
Asian popular culture in shaping and reflecting the politics of identity 
in societies across the region. This could include sessions dealing with 
Asian film (past and present), television, music, celebrity and fandom, 
the body, fashion, digital media, comics and popular literature, gender 
mainstreaming studies, sport, heritage, and curation. We are interested 
in papers that adopt not only historical, but especially comparative and 
culturally situated perspectives that engage with ideas of 
intersectionality, inclusivity and marginalised voices.

The deadline for submission of panel or individual paper proposals is 
January 6th 2020.

There will be opportunities for networking, publishing, and developing 
caucus groups within the EAPCA. Presenters will be encouraged to develop 
their papers for publication in East Asian Journal of Popular Culture 
(EAJPC), and the journal editors will be working closely with session 
convenors to identify suitable papers. Paper and panel proposals will be 
subject to peer review. Individual presentations must not exceed 20 
minutes in length, while each panel will be allocated a total of 90 
minutes. In case of panel proposals, please provide a short description 
of the panel along with abstracts for each individual presentation. Each 
paper proposal should include a 300-word abstract, the presenter’s full 
name, affiliation, and contact details (as a Word-file attachment, not a 
PDF).

The East Asian Popular Culture Association (EAPCA) is the leading 
international community of scholars researching East Asian popular 
culture. The idea of forming EAPCA was first conceived by participants 
at the 2009 International Popular Culture Conference in Finland. While 
the board of EAPCA is based in Taiwan and Japan, the Association 
includes scholars working on popular culture throughout East Asia, based 
across the region and beyond. The EAPCA Inaugural Conference (EAPCA I) 
was held in Taipei in September 2011. EAPCA II will take place July 
20-21st 2020 at Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan.
