11th Asian Dynamics Initiative Conference, University of Copenhagen, 17-19 June 2019.
Convenors: Prof Magnus Marsden (University of Sussex), Dr Marina Marouda (University of Sussex), Dr Vera Skvirskaja (University of Copenhagen)
Panel: 'In-motion: discovering and analysing Inter-Asian milieu'.https://asiandynamics.ku.dk/english/adi-conference-2019/panels/in-motion/
Panel Abstract
The panel considers inter-Asian connectivities, trading communities and networks as being in-motion, and seeks to examine and explore such forms of motion at different levels: a) what analytical models exist for defining and analysing such expansive and fluid research milieu, b) in what ways can interdisciplinary scholarship deploy methods ranging from fieldwork to archival research to study such milieu and the processes underpinning them c) how can scholars engage, write and represent mobile research subjects?
Our hope is that the panel will promote critical reflection both on modes of analysing and representing mobile and geographically dispersed Asian milieu, as well as on the methodological tools that scholars across a range of disciplines have deployed to study these. Defining fieldsites in terms of social and spatial relationships allows investigating processes through which extensive networks are being assembled in Asia. The panel welcomes contributions focusing on the dynamics of expansive configurations emerging in Asia, be these through top-down efforts to build China’s ‘Belt and Road initiative’ which opens pathways linking diverse parts of Asia, or more bottom-up and ad hoc forms of connectivity, often referred to as representing ‘globalisation from below’ (e.g. Matthews et al 2012). We especially welcome papers charting the mobile lives of traders and how they contribute to forging commercial and social milieu across Asia.
