The 20th and 21st centuries have witnessed the phenomenal development of 
Asia as a major producer of culture and popular entertainment, 
especially the proliferation of TV series broadcasted on various local, 
regional, and global platforms, with multilingual subtitles. With their 
diversity of genres, ranging from romantic comedies to Boys Love (BL) 
narratives, martial arts to time-travel, historical dramas to science 
fiction, these dramas offer a wide array of works to global audiences.

Therefore, we invite contributions from various perspectives, not 
limited solely to critical practices in communication, media and 
cultural studies but also integrating theoretical concepts and 
disciplinary frameworks such as philosophy, history, political science, 
sociology, psychology, linguistics, theology and spirituality, business, 
law, and fan studies, among others. Interdisciplinary approaches are 
more than welcome and appreciated.

Please feel free to reach out Dr. Anderson Lopes, Chulalongkorn 
University ((anderson.l /at/ chula.ac.th)), and Dr. Shirley Lua, De La Salle 
University ((shirley.lua /at/ dlsu.edu.ph)) for any questions or inquiries 
about the event dynamics. Furthermore, we plan to compile a book 
featuring the best works, with publication slated for 2025.
