>
>Reflecting a multiplicity of methods and theoretical frameworks, this
>conference will explore phenomena of proximity and difference, of
>influence and resistance to influence, across the cultural divides both
>between and within Asia and Europe, focusing on them especially but not
>exclusively as they relate to modernisation.
>
>Proposals for contributions grounded in historical sociology as well as
>psychoanalysis, civilisational theory as well as history of ideas,
>international relations theory as well as cultural studies, indeed in
>any of the humanities and social science disciplines, will be welcome.
>Papers may be oriented toward either or both of two spatial nodes
>("Europe" and "Asia"), and may address any of the relations of proximity
>and separation alluded to by the metaphors of "border" and "bridge."
>
>Guest speakers will include Johann Arnason (Monash University), Kang
>Myung Koo (Seoul National University) and Tong Shijun (Shanghai Academy
>of Social Sciences).

>Abstracts of 100-200 words should be sent by 31 August 2005 to:
