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.

Lawson ([log in to unmask]) and the conference secretary is Dr Michael
