CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT and CALL FOR PAPERS:
JIU: COMMEMORATION AND CELEBRATION IN THE CHINESE SPEAKING WORLD will be
the theme of the Chinese Studies Association of Australia (CSAA) Biannual
Conference, to be held at the University of Sydney, 9-11 July 2009.
Submissions of abstracts are invited until the end of March 2009.
Further information is available at the conference website:
http://www.conference.csaa.org.au
DEADLINES
Deadline for Abstract submissions: 31 March 2009.
Deadline for Full Paper peer-review option: 31 January, 2009.
CONFERENCE THEME
The 2009 conference adopts the theme of 'jiu', and thus takes up the
challenge of both celebrating and commemorating the achievements and
hardships of the past century 1909-2009 in the Chinese-speaking world.
We encourage papers and panels that develop this theme by revisiting old
paradigms in the spirit of new research ideas, and by bringing historical
perspective to the issues of the present day. Puns and wordplay, where
they allow for complex ideas to be fluently transmitted to an expert
audience, are very welcome and apposite. We draw your attention to the
many significant events that have occurred in the 'jiu' (nine) years, from
the beginning of the southern Chinese film industry in 1909, to the
phenomenal reach of political events, achievements and tragedies in 1919,
1949, 1959, 1979, 1989. At the time of writing, 2009 is an unknown
quantity.
Historians, political scientists, cultural analysts,
anthropologists,literary scholars, art historians and geographers are
especially invited to consider such key moments as a starting bloc for a
panel or paper.
The conference is also a showcase for all Chinese research in Australia.
The CSAA membership includes some of the finest China researchers in the
world, and an acknowledgment of that excellence is important to this
meeting. Panels and presentations on the themes of the conference or on
any work related to Chinese Studies are welcome.
