Conference Theme: "Intersecting Belongings: Cultural Conviviality and Cosmopolitan Futures"
Contemporary
contexts of the local, regional, national and global raise urgent
questions about cultural conviviality and cosmopolitan
futures across
Asia. These are times when trans-cultural, trans-national and multicultural belonging are particularly being tested
through
environmental catastrophe, economic volatility, parochialism,
fundamentalism, notions of cosmopolitan and multicultural exhaustion,
and war. Belonging has become a fundamental dynamic of preservation,
atavism, tradition and survival as well as hybridity, possibility,
change and transformation. The aim of this conference theme is to open
up discussion, exploration and analysis in Asian Studies about emerging
social, economic, political and cultural trends formed at the
intersection of multiple and multi-sited belongings.
The aim of this International Conference on Asian studies is to encourage academics, scholars and practitioners representing a exciting diversity of countries, cultures, and religions to meet and exchange research, ideas and views in a forum encouraging respectful dialogue. ACAS 2013 will afford the opportunity for renewing old acquaintances, making new contacts, and networking across higher education and beyond.
We hope that the conference theme will again encourage academic and personal encounters and exchanges across national, religious, cultural and disciplinary divides. We look forward to seeing you (again) in Osaka in 2013!
