CFP: NORTH KOREAN CULTURE AND CINEMA

Situations: Cultural Studies in the Asian Context Fall 2020 Issue

A SCOPUS-indexed International Journal

“The Personal and the Political in Contemporary North Korean Culture and Cinema”

We invite submissions of full-length essays on the important but largely understudied topic of “North Korean Culture and Cinema” for the September 2020 issue. The existing studies on North Korean cinema have mainly focused on the ideological role of the cinema as a propaganda tool of the state. Given the rapidly changing circumstances of North Korea under Kim Jong-un’s leadership and his ongoing attempts to reform and open the regime, however, we seek to illuminate North Korean cinema from a broader set of perspectives, including thematic, formal and technical approaches to the topic as well as its relationship with other artistic forms and emergent technologies. This special issue will feature articles from the following scholars, and we anticipate that many other scholars will be interested in taking part in this important unfolding scholarly debate.

CFP: THE 10TH ASIAN CONFERENCE ON ASIAN STUDIES (ACAS2020)

The 10th Asian Conference on Asian Studies (ACAS2020)
May 27-30, 2020 | Toshi Center Hotel, Tokyo, Japan

Held in partnership with the IAFOR Research Centre at the Osaka School of International Public Policy (OSIPP) at Osaka University, this international conference encourages academics and scholars to meet and exchange ideas and views in a forum stimulating respectful dialogue. This event will afford an exceptional opportunity for renewing old acquaintances, making new contacts, networking, and facilitating partnerships across national and disciplinary borders.

Since its founding in 2009, IAFOR has brought people and ideas together in a variety of events and platforms to promote and celebrate interdisciplinary study, and underline its importance. Over the past year we have engaged in many cross-sectoral projects, including those with universities (the University of Barcelona, Hofstra University, UCL, University of Belgrade and Moscow State University), a think tank (the East-West Center), as well as collaborative projects with the United Nations in New York, and here, with the Government of Japan through the Prime Minister’s office.

With the IAFOR Research Centre, we have engaged in a number of interdisciplinary initiatives we believe will have an important impact on domestic and international public policy conversations. It is through conferences like these that we expand our network and partners, and we have no doubt that ACAS2020 will offer a remarkable opportunity for the sharing of research and best practice, and for the meeting of people and ideas.

The 10th Asian Conference on Asian Studies (ACAS2020) will be held alongside The 10th Asian Conference on Cultural Studies (ACCS2020). Registration for either conference will allow delegates to attend sessions in the other.

The ACAS Organising Committee welcomes submissions from a wide variety of interdisciplinary and theoretical perspectives.

Submissions are organised into the following streams:

Streams

• Indian and South Asian Studies
• South-East Asian Studies (including Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos)
• Central Asian Studies
• Chinese Studies

• Korean Studies
• Middle Eastern Studies (including Assyria, Iran, Egypt, Turkey)
