*
The University Research Priority Program Asia and Europe (University of
Zurich) in collaboration with The Institute of East Asian Studies,
Department of Sinology (University of Zurich),
invite proposals for the Graduate Student Workshop:
*ASIAN POSTMODERNITIES AND THEIR LEGACIES*
March 30-31, 2012
(Workshop venue: University of Zurich)
This workshop will focus primarily on new perspectives on contemporary
Chinese and (South) East Asian societies derived from cultural,
postcolonial, literary, visual and gender studies. It will however be
open to other approaches (e.g. historical, political or geographical).
A preliminary list of related issues and research questions to be
discussed at the conference is as follows:
■ Political legacies
■ Spatial legacies
■ Artistic legacies
■ Embodied legacies
■ Ethical legacies
*Key themes*: spaces & boundaries, environmental issues, body & gender,
theories & methods
The workshop is intended to provide a forum for graduate students in the
humanities and social sciences who are (1) developing dissertations
proposals or are already in more advanced phases of research or
dissertation writing; and who are (2) also dealing with the
abovementioned issues in the context of contemporary Asian states and
societies.
The workshop aims to produce a volume or a thematic journal issue, as
well as exploring possibilities for interdisciplinary, comparative
research projects on the Asian postmodernities and their legacies.
