CFP: KOREAN LITERATURE ASSOCIATION ANNUAL MEETING

Korean Literature Association Annual Meeting,

November 11-12, 2022

The Korean Literature Association cordially invites proposals for its annual meeting on the theme of “Resonance” to be held at the University of Oregon, Eugene, OR. We invite individual papers and team projects that reflect on the way resonance can open up and connect Korean literary studies to the broader human world across disciplinary boundaries, historical periods, geographical borders, and linguistic systems.

Resonance—derived from its Latin roots resonare (resound) and resonantia (echo) and the French résonance—refers to a sound or a quality of a sound. Yet as The OED lists, resonance also means the power to evoke images, memories, and emotions; a sympathetic response; and allusions, connotations, and overtones. Although the specifications vary, the overarching concept of resonance involves movement through either vibration, oscillation, wave, or amplification that leads to a response—another movement, which together can produce meaning and value. Using these broad definitions as a starting metaphor and a springboard for creative extensions, we hope that the theme of “Resonance” allows us to explore Korean literature by embracing myriad forms, modes, and mechanisms that are both intimately and distantly connected to what constitutes Korean literature’s legacies and transformations. In this way, this conference aims to reconceptualize resonance as an important heuristic device for Korean literary and cultural studies.

Of particular interest to this endeavor will be discussions on how and where Korean literature resonates. How might we analyze, interpret, and ground resonance within Korean literature’s history and its contemporary making? How can we use resonance as a framework for transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary work on Korea? How is Korean literature embedded in the practices of the larger humanities and other fields, such as in the social sciences and STEM and vice versa? How might the resonances of Korean literature challenge the long-established theoretical practices and contribute to the ongoing making of global aesthetics? What are the places, moments, and instances of dissonance rather than resonance which nevertheless allow Korean literature to intervene in knowledge building and problem-solving and illuminating human conditions?

Topics could include but are not limited to the following:

• Sound and sonic culture in Korea

• Technologies and techniques of writing, reading, listening, seeing

• Adaptation, Transemdiality, Intermediality

• Premodern and Modern East Asian literary connections

• Korean diaspora and Global Korean aesthetics

• Digital humanities or Humanizing digitalization

• Public humanities and Korean literature

The KLA seeks submissions from graduate students and faculty at any stage of their careers who are interested in presenting papers at the Conference. Individual as well as organized panels are welcome. Humanities and the study of literature have often been construed as an individual endeavor rather than a team effort, in this call for proposals, we are especially interested in seeking projects that bring teams of researchers together in demonstrating collaborative building of Korean literary studies. We are currently planning an in-person conference at the University of Oregon.

The deadline for submissions is June 15, 2022. 

Please send your 300-word abstract and a short CV to Jina Kim at jinak@uoregon.edu

CFP: "MOBILITY, INFRASTRUCTURE, AND THE HUMANITIES", 2022 GLOBAL MOBILITY HUMANITIES CONFERENCE (GMHC)

"Mobility, Infrastructure, and the Humanities",

2022 Global Mobility Humanities Conference (GMHC)

Seoul, 28th – 29th October 2022

Co-Organized by the Academy of Mobility Humanities (Konkuk University), the Centre for Advanced Studies in Mobility & Humanities, DiSSGeA (University of Padua), and the Centre for the GeoHumanities (Royal Holloway University of London)

From its earliest days, mobility studies has been intensely concerned with “the infrastructure of social life,” (Urry 2017, 13). Mobility might be seen as a kind of infrastructure for the social while it is undergirded by infrastructures of systems that enable and disable mobilities. Notably, with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, mobility infrastructure came to be recognized as indispensable for human life itself, while brutely materializing its geographical inequality and acutely strengthening racial, sexual, and class discrimination and their intersections. But which infrastructures enable the movement of people, things, ideas, and information; that makes possible not only the socialities of everyday life but the circulation of power and wealth, especially as they have undergirded the formations and afterlives of empire and settler-colonialism (Cowen 2020)? For example, logistics, roads, railways, ports, sea routes, transportation networks, pipelines, and the like have been taken into consideration by many researchers in the mobility studies field. So too have internet servers, mail and postage systems, under-sea cables, charging points, bike docking stations, as well as churches, cafes and corner-shops, bodies and practices as ‘arrival’ infrastructures for mobile subjects (Jung and Buhr 2021; Meues et al. 2019). What, then, might count as a mobility infrastructure?

Many narratives of infrastructure, and indeed mobility, suggest their invisibility . Where it is only in their breakdown that we are forced to see the usually sunk or hidden qualities of infrastructures beneath our feet. Studies of infrastructure often involve staying with, following, and especially maneuvers of looking beneath and (un)concealment (Hetherington 2019). Sometimes these seek to reveal the political and power relations infrastructures perform and reproduce, and the (often mobile) lives and livelihoods that service and labour the infrastructures we depend upon. Might we foreground mobility infrastructures, then, if (in)visible and unthought, ‘deep’ or ‘under’, in the way they are unearthed by the (im)mobile practices of research that elicit, know, reveal, uncloak, surface, dig, spotlight, or perhaps write, draw, envision, revision, among other modalities of looking, sensing, writing and creative expression?

The 2022 GMHC is to be a platform to discuss mobility infrastructures in its technologies, geographies, histories, cultures, as well as its social being, ethics, justice, and affects from the mobility humanities perspective. Indeed, as the humanities are challenged not only by COVID, but structural changes in academia and its funding in many contexts, the conference might reflect upon what new infrastructures and (im)mobilities are possible and necessary in the Humanities? Given the emphasis on (virtual) labs, digital platforms, networks and emerging practices to share and collaborate and engage publics in new spaces (Eccles 2021), what might mobility infrastructures offer for a Humanities under threat?

This conference presents an opportunity for scholars to share their ideas and inquiries at the intersection of mobilities studies and humanities, transcending the sometimes conventional divide between the social sciences and humanities and the arts. The conference theme, “Mobility, Infrastructure, and the Humanities,” enables scholars to engage with the mobility humanities from different academic disciplines. With the advent of a ‘high-mobility’ (Viry and Kauffmann 2015) society, infrastructures come to have more far-reaching power, but are perhaps even more taken for granted. Wary of the dangers that they are assumed as universal and taken as ungrounded or uncritically, we encourage studies that contemplate geographic variation, difference and specificity of context across different global regions, national contexts, locations and places.

Topics may include but are not limited to:

• Philosophies of Mobility Infrastructures

• Infrastructural Reading of Literary and Cultural Texts

• Infrastructures of Knowledge Circulation and the Mobility of Things

• Visibilities and Invisibilities of Mobility Infrastructures

• Bodies, Practices and Social Infrastructures

• Creative Responses and Approaches to Mobility Infrastructure/Creative Practices as Mobility Infrastructure

• ‘Coming Community’ and Mobility Infrastructure Ethics

• Mobility Infrastructure Justice

• ((Post)Colonial) Histories of infrastructures

• Emotions and Affects of Mobility Infrastructure

• Cultural infrastructures from antiquity to the future

• Failing or fracturing mobility infrastructures

• Other Related Issues

CFP: “HOW ZEN BECAME CHAN: PRE-MODERN AND MODERN REPRESENTATIONS OF A TRANSNATIONAL EAST ASIAN BUDDHIST TRADITION”, INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE

“How Zen Became Chan: Pre-modern and Modern Representations of a Transnational East Asian

Buddhist Tradition”, International Conference.

July 29-31, 2022 | ONLINE, in collaboration with Yale University

Registration

The FROGBEAR project at the University of British Columbia, with the assistance of the Glorisun Global Network of Buddhist Studies at Yale University, cordially invites proposals for an international conference on “How Zen Became Chan: Pre-modern and Modern Representations of a Transnational East Asian Buddhist Tradition” to be held online, via Zoom. The conference is made possible with generous support from the Glorisun Charitable Foundation, based in Hong Kong.

Scholarly and popular publications in English and other European languages since the early-20th century more often refer to Zen Buddhism than Chan (alt. Ch’an) or Seon (alt. Sŏn) or even Thiền Buddhism, thereby promoting—at least subtly—the notion that Japan, rather than China, Korea, Vietnam, or Tibet, figures most prominently in the history of this tradition of East Asian Buddhism. Merriam Webster’s Dictionary of English defines “Zen” as either “a Japanese sect of Mahayana Buddhism that aims at enlightenment by direct intuition through meditation” or “a state of calm attentiveness in which one’s actions are guided by intuition rather than by conscious effort.” Chan, Seon, and Thiền are not included as entries. Yet scholars and practitioners of Chan, Seon, Thiền, and Zen Buddhism have made it clear that the foundational texts studied and the monastic regulations and daily rituals followed in monasteries across East and Southeast Asia, as well as in Europe, North America, and Oceania, originated primarily in China. Localizing much of our research, scholars regularly refer to Chinese Chan, Japanese Zen, Korean Seon, and Vietnamese Thiền. Yet the overreliance on Zen as the preferred rubric to encompass a broader narrative about this tradition of East Asian Buddhism persists. This conference explores not only how we think about and refer to Chan/Zen/Seon/Thiền Buddhism in terms of historiographical, textual, archaeological, philological, philosophical, political or socio-economic analysis, but also what it means in the 21st century to use one of these pronunciations instead of another about a tradition with the well-known 10th – 12th century Chinese maxims about “a special transmission outside the teachings” (jiaowai biechuan 教外別傳) which does not “establish words and letters” (buli wenzi 不立文字). Various narratives about the early, middle, or modern history of Buddhist meditative practice and the monastic traditions of East and Southeast Asia emphasize trans-cultural, multi-ethnic and cross-regional production and transmission of texts, practices, rituals, and even teachers that contradict what is conveyed when we restrict ourselves to using either Chan or Zen or another single label. Yet even when investigating a tradition sometimes represented as fundamentally opposed to words and letters, we know that words, conveyance, and spaces matter. 

Topics for this conference include, but are not limited to, studies of:

• Buddhist meditation in premodern East or Southeast Asia;

• The Chinese or Tibetan Buddhist tradition known as Chan;

• The Japanese Buddhist tradition known as Zen;

• The Korean Buddhist tradition known as Seon;

• The Vietnamese Buddhist tradition known as Thiền;

• The production and/or preservation or transmission of scriptures or books related to Chan/Zen/Seon/Thiền Buddhism;

• Editions of Chan/Zen/Seon/Thiền Buddhist texts included in or occluded from the so-called East Asian Buddhist canons;

• Comparative approaches using Chan/Zen/Seon/Thiền Buddhist texts excluded from manuscript or printed editions of the so-called East Asian Buddhist canons;

• Editions of scriptures or ritual manuals that speak to performances or practices, histories, or other Chan/Zen/Seon/Thiền texts;

• Chan/Zen/Seon/Thiền individuals and communities who produced or maintained editions of Buddhist texts or epigraphical records in premodern East and Southeast Asia;

• Comparative codicological, paleographical or doxographical studies of Chan/Zen/Seon/Thiền books and the exchange and/or production of editions of these books in East and Southeast Asia;

• Collections of exceptional editions of Chan/Zen/Seon/Thiền Buddhist texts—or “canons”—at specific sites in East and Southeast Asia;

• Editions of works in multilingual manuscripts or collections;

• Studies of newly discovered Buddhist materials related to the history of Chan/Zen/Seon/Thiền in East or Southeast Asia

The organizing committee welcomes paper proposals related to any aspect(s) of the multidisciplinary, inter-cultural, and cross-regional study of Buddhist epigraphy in Central and East Asia. Please email proposals and CVs to frogbear.project@ubc.ca by April 15.

The conference will produce two volumes, one in English and the other in Chinese. The English volume will collect most of the papers in English, plus the English translations of several papers written in non-English languages, while the Chinese volume will include the Chinese versions for some non-Chinese papers in addition to those papers written in Chinese. Draft papers needed by mid-July to share with other panelists, and revised papers are needed by the end of October for those who plan to publish their papers.

This conference is planned as part of our annual International and Intensive Program on Buddhism [details here].

CFP: "REVISITING ZAINICHI", SPECIAL ISSUE, TRANSNATIONAL ASIA JOURNAL

"Revisiting zainichi", Special Issue,

Transnational Asia: an online interdisciplinary journal

During the last four decades or so, Koreans in Japan, or zainichi Koreans, have been subjected to steady academic attention in the Anglophone research of diverse academic fields, in part in response to the nihonjinron discourse which purported the ethnic homogeneity of Japanese society (disregarding the existence of zainichi) and also in part because of the changing relations triangulating Japan, South Korea, and North Korea. This special issue updates political, legal, economic, and cultural conditions that they are currently subjected to in Japan and beyond, while exploring the potential of the studies of zainichi and its contribution to broader interdisciplinary conversation on ethnic identity and diaspora.

Please send an abstract of about 200 words to Amber Szymczyk, transnational.asia@rice.edu.

Transnational Asia is a peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary, and web-only journal from the Chao Center for Asian Studies, Rice University, which publishes scholarship that challenges traditional understandings of Asia.

Abstract

What do historians have to say about the future when they look at the past? Can we make a U-turn to the Future by way of the Past?

From local bike-sharing initiatives to overhauls of transport infrastructure, mobility is one of the most important areas in which modern cities are trying to realize a more sustainable future. Covid-19 has turned into a giant and global experiment about what that future could look like. Yet even as the present seems to offer a tantalizing thought experiment and as politicians and planners look ahead, there remain critical insights to be gleaned from the history of urban mobility and the unsustainable practices that still impact our everyday lives. Taking a leaf from the notion of the “usable past,” Oldenziel presents case studies of the book by the same title that consider the ecological, social, and economic aspects of urban mobility, showing how historical inquiry can make both conceptual and practical contributions to the projects of sustainability and urban renewal.

As Editor in Chief of Technology and Culture, she is also available for Q&A about the journal.

WEBINAR «LA GUERRA EN UCRANIA: ¿QUÉ PAPEL PUEDE JUGAR ASIA?»

Webinar «La guerra en Ucrania: ¿qué papel puede jugar Asia?»

Casa Asia

La invasión de Ucrania por parte de su vecino Rusia ha despertado la fuerte condena de la opinión pública mundial y de la gran mayoría de los Estados, como demostró la votación de la Asamblea General de Naciones Unidas y en donde por una abrumadora mayoría se votó que el gobierno ruso debía parar inmediatamente la agresión y retirar sus tropas, así como acatar las reglas de la Carta de las Naciones Unidas.

Estas protestas y condenas han incluido por supuesto a Asia, donde los acontecimientos de las últimas semanas se observan con gran preocupación.

Pero sin duda, la reacción en Asia tiene mucho que ver también con complejos cálculos que van desde cómo los aliados y socios de Estados Unidos en la zona están respondiendo a las posibles intenciones de Beijing y cómo podrían estar cambiando con respecto a Taiwán, y en donde China se ha negado a llamar invasión al asalto a Ucrania, hasta en cómo ha influido en la política exterior en India que ha tenido que caminar sobre la cuerda floja diplomática sobre Ucrania en los últimos días mientras intentaba equilibrar sus lazos con Moscú y Occidente.

Paralelamente, en Myanmar los generales han calificado las acciones de Rusia como “lo correcto”. Y en Vietnam, a Vladimir V. Putin, el presidente ruso, se le llama cariñosamente “tío Putin”.

En esta mesa redonda analizaremos y discutiremos como, si bien la mayoría de los aliados estadounidenses en la región se han alineado con Washington y Kiev, los gobiernos autoritarios y aquellos con vínculos más débiles con Occidente se han mostrado más reacios a actuar en el conflicto de Ucrania.

En Asia-Pacífico, solo Japón, Singapur, Corea del Sur y Australia han aceptado sanciones internacionales contra Moscú. Taiwán, el territorio autónomo que China reclama como propio, también acordó sanciones y expresó su apoyo a Ucrania.

Y en Asia Central, donde las antiguas repúblicas soviéticas se debaten entre la dependencia de seguridad de Moscú y la cada vez más pujante presencia económica de Pekín en un contexto de cambios de largos liderazgos políticos que no han sido todavía consolidados como en Kazajistán y Uzbekistan

Es poco probable que la respuesta desigual compense la reacción de la Unión Europea y Estados Unidos, pero podría poner a prueba los límites de la promesa del presidente Biden de convertir a Putin en un “paria en el escenario internacional”.

Mesa redonda a cargo de:

Carlota García Encina es investigadora principal de Estados Unidos y Relaciones Transatlánticas del Real Instituto Elcano, y profesora de Relaciones Internacionales.
