East Asian
Languages and Civilizations Graduate Conference

2019 at the University of Pennsylvania
The
Graduate Student Research Colloquium of the Department of East Asian Languages
and Civilizations at the University of Pennsylvania presents its third annual
graduate student conference: Myth, Management, and Materiality in East Asia.
This one-day conference provides a global forum for graduate students from U.S.
and international institutions to explore concepts of myth, management, and/or
materiality in East Asia (including, but not limited to: China, Japan, Korea,
Mongolia, and Singapore). Students will explore these concepts within issues of
literature, politics, culture, language, religion, and/or ideology.
We welcome
applications from currently enrolled graduate students in all disciplines
related to the study of East Asia. We
especially encourage those that address the following conference themes, but
are open to submissions covering other topics:
- The construction and influence of differing conceptions of myth and materiality.
- The construction and performance of gender, race, and other group identities.
- The mobilization of art and visual culture to challenge political management and authority.
- The development of cultural, national, religious, and spiritual narratives in East Asia.
