INTERDISCIPLINARY CONFERENCE
EUROPE AND THE ASIA-PACIFIC:
CULTURE, IDENTITY AND REPRESENTATIONS OF REGION
The Centre for Research in European Studies (CREST) is holding its 4th
annual conference in association with the UEA Asia-Pacific Group on Thursday
and Friday, 10th and 11th May, 2001. The venue is the Elizabeth Fry building
on the University of East Anglia campus in Norwich. The preliminary
programme includes papers dealing with a significant range of issues
including the ASEM process, security cultures and security communities,
property rights, cultural reproduction, postcolonialism, interraciality,
Islamic identity in Europe, media representations, the role of law in
identity formation, issues in political economy, The broad comparative
dimensions of the papers include perspectives ranging from regionalist
constructions of 'European' identity to more specific studies of relational
identity construction in countries as diverse as Japan, Sweden, Russia,
Australia, France, Malaysia and New Zealand, Thailand, India, Britain,
China, and Indonesia. The disciplines represented at the conference include
art history, politics and international relations, law, economics,
sociology, development studies, history, gender studies, literary studies
and architecture and urban planning and paper presenters will be travelling
from Australia, the US, India, Italy, China, Taiwan, Sweden, Japan, Hong
Kong, and Germany. The conference will therefore be truly international and
interdisciplinary while retaining a special focus on comparative
inter-regional studies between Europe and the Asia-Pacific.
About UEA and Norwich
The University of East Anglia is situated on 320 acres of park and woodland
on the edge of Norwich. One of the best-known buildings on campus is the
Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts which houses a significant collection.
Norwich was founded in Saxon times and has a 1,000 year-old Cathedral and a
castle of similar antiquity. Norwich also contains within its precincts more
extant medieval churches than any other city in Europe. The city is situated
close by the Norfolk Broads which are renowned for sailing and the presence
of abundant wildlife.
Travelling to Norwich
Norwich is easily accessible by train and coach from London and there is a
regular coach service which runs to and from the airports of Gatwick,
Heathrow and Stansted. Norwich also has its own airport and there are direct
flights available from Aberdeen, Edinburgh, and Manchester within the UK,
and KLM operates direct flights from Amsterdam. If travelling by car,
Norwich is best approached via the A11 from London. The A11 may also be
picked up from the M25. If coming from the north, the simplest routes are
the M6, the M1, or the A1, then the A14 (past Cambridge), and then the A11.

The conference organiser is Professor Stephanie Lawson ([log in to unmask])
