CFP: 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

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




Webinar «La guerra en Ucrania: ¿qué papel puede jugar 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.

CFP: THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF HANGZHOU BUDDHIST CULTURE



Call for Contributors 

The Encyclopedia of Hangzhou Buddhist Culture


The “grand narrative” approach to the study of East Asian Buddhism has long remained dominant within the academic study of Buddhism. There is much to be gained from such a methodology and it has served the field well for the most part, but with increasing sophistication and evolving theoretical frameworks, the scholarly value of regional perspectives has become evident. The great cache of documents discovered at Dunhuang at the beginning of the 20th century served as the foundational event for the academic field of Dunhuang textual studies, something that has continued unabated for over a century. But there remain other areas in China that have played a crucial role in the overall history and transmission of Buddhism to the larger East Asian cultural sphere, and that requires a deeper and more sustained investigation. Hangzhou, the former capital of China during the Song dynasty (960-1278), is one such area.

Hangzhou has long been a crucially important cultural and economic hub in China, but it came to particular prominence during the tenth century when it was known as Qiantang and served as the capital of the kingdom of Wuyue. During the Song dynasty, it became a base from which Buddhism spread throughout East Asia, particularly in the case of Chan (J. Zen; K. Sŏn) Buddhism. It was in Hangzhou that the government established the “Five Mountains and Ten Monasteries” system wushan shicha 五山十刹, which later was carried over to Japan and exerted a profound influence on the subsequent history of Japanese Zen. Chan Buddhism went on to become one of the dominant forms of Buddhism in East Asia and served as a cultural nexus for associated arts. Tea production, tea culture, and ceramics are just a few of the industries and art forms that have long been associated with Chan and Hangzhou, and they continue to be in the present day. Hangzhou’s cultural prominence in East Asia is inextricably linked to its Buddhist heritage, which has long expanded beyond the monastery walls and has come to subsume fine and performance arts, material culture, and intellectual history in the broadest sense.

The Encyclopedia of Hangzhou Buddhist Culture will be the first of its kind as a dedicated reference source for Hangzhou’s Buddhist heritage as well as its associated cultural legacies. As Buddhism in Hangzhou is broad-ranging and intimately networked, the Encyclopedia will include people, places, texts, industries, arts, concepts, and schools from pre-Tang China all the way through the Republican Period. In addition to Hangzhou Buddhism and its connections to Korea and Japan, some of the entries are related to Daoism, popular religions, local culture, and Christianity in Hangzhou. Not all of these figures and places are Buddhist per se—but they functioned in the continuum of cultural flows originating and nourished in Hangzhou’s Buddhist past.

The Encyclopedia, as part of the Hangzhou Buddhist Culture Project at the University of Arizona, will be co-edited by Ven. Guangquan, Dr. Albert Welter, Dr. Jiang Wu, managed by executive editor Dr. James Baskind through the Center for Buddhist Studies, and supervised by an advisory committee. It will be published in English by a reputable press in 2022. They are looking for scholars and advanced graduate students who are interested in Hangzhou Buddhism to write short entries for about 500 selected entries which are evenly distributed from the Tang through the Republican era. Contributors will receive an orientation, training, supervision, a certificate of contribution from the Center, and financial remuneration depending on the extent of their contributions. Contributors can choose the entries they want to write from the university Google doc sign-up link. Please send a short message to hangzhouculture@arizona.edu with a brief description of your qualifications or your CV. They will contact you and send the relevant documents that lay out the details of the project such as the list of the entries via Google doc, the style sheet, and the contributors’ agreement. They plan to complete this project by Dec. 30, 2021.

CFP: JOURNAL OF NORTHEAST ASIAN HISTORY VOL. 18


Call for articles,

Journal of Northeast Asian History Vol. 18.


The Northeast Asian History Foundation continues to expand its interaction with scholars specializing in Asian history and related fields outside East Asia. The Foundation is also strengthening its ties with leading institutions and scholars by encouraging interdisciplinary and comparative approaches to research on geopolitical, cultural, educational, and other issues in East Asia.

The Foundation publishes the Journal of Northeast Asian History (JNAH), a peer-reviewed semi-annual English-language journal that focuses on history-based approaches to Asian politics, cultures, economy and other fields to shed light on the historical realities of the Asian World. The Journal's geographical scope extends to other parts of the world which have significant relevancy to Asian history, thus charting globalism and localism from global perspectives.

In particular, we will welcome two topics that concern (1) Korea-China Relations and Historical Configuration in Northeast Asia and (2) US-China Relations and Historical Issues in East Asia, both of which will help explore further how inter-state and intra-state matters were and are liked together to the historical development of continental East Asia and how the confluence of these external and internal factors have been making vital impact on the various mode of regional interaction in modern East Asia and beyond.

The Journal of Northeast Asian History calls for the submission of outstanding and unpublished papers for review. We invite colleagues to consider the Journal when seeking to publish ongoing research since we believe this can be an impetus for further scholarly collaboration in the future. For full consideration, please submit manuscripts by September 15, 2021 for Winter Issue.

CFP: MEDICAL CULTURE IN EAST ASIAN CINEMA AND MEDIA



Call for Abstracts:

Edited Volume on Medical Culture in East Asian Cinema and Media


The current COVID-19 global pandemic has inspired renewed attention to the intersection between public health and mass media. With constant media updates of case counts, healthcare guidelines, and preventive strategies, among other public health communications, the boundaries of various imagined communities have been newly established or strongly reinforced. The complex cultural and geopolitical region of East Asia, in particular, has become a center of media attention, following wide circulation of essentialized cultural norms (such as collectivity and uniformity), stereotypical accounts of hygiene habits, racialized discourses surrounding the East Asian bodies, and techno-orientalist narratives of East Asian use of digital means for disease tracing and control. Both personal and public health outcomes thus have become inextricably intertwined with processes of representation and (re)mediation, while the pandemic itself has become a media event inseparable from various audiovisual forms. We are therefore living a historical moment that demands reflection on the precarious socio-political structures revealed through audiovisual media, including health care access and its relation to class, gender, and ethnic hierarchies.

Our edited volume seeks to contextualize such discussions in light of larger historical narratives regarding 20th and 21st century East Asia, with audiovisual media serving as our primary object of study. We welcome submissions that consider medical culture in relation to cinema and media culture in the East Asian context. We understand “medical culture” as a bio-cultural concept that encompasses not only scientific knowledge and practice but also such cultural domains as aesthetics, ethics, politics, and public policy. Some questions that concern us include: How does historical practice of health (in)justice, mediated by audiovisual media, inform our contemporary understandings of public health crises? How can audiovisual media disseminate information about the historical transformation of public health policies and facilitate collaboration and mutual understanding  across local, national, and regional sectors in East Asia? How might East Asian case studies highlight the convergence of film and media theory with the medical humanities?

We invite submission of paper proposals on topics that may include but are not limited to the following. We especially welcome contributions that focus on Japan, South Korea, North Korea, and transregional East Asia.

  • traditional and modern medicines
  • personal hygiene, environmental sanitation, and ecological criticism
  • diseases caused by pollution, climate change, and environmental violence
  • medical theory and practice in relation to colonialism/decolonization and racism
  • medical science and technology (x-ray, microfilm, etc)
  • educational/scientific film, medical image-making
  • physical or mental therapy in/as media
  • medical institutions and practitioners, health care systems
  • medical practice in rural areas, distribution of medical resources
  • pandemics/epidemics
  • food and diet
  • disabilities and neurodiversity
  • the cult of youth and anxiety over aging
  • gender, sexuality, and medical culture

We plan to propose the edited volume to Hong Kong University Press for publication in their Crossings: Asian Cinema and Media Culture series. All submissions should be based on original research and not under consideration for publication elsewhere.


Deadlines for submission

Please send your working title, institutional affiliation, abstract (of no more than 500 words), and short bio to eastasianmedicinebook@gmail.com by April 1st, 2021. The editorial team will notify selected proposals by April 30th, 2021. The deadline for first draft submission (between 7000 and 8000 words) is December 1st, 2021.

Editors: Ling Zhang (SUNY Purchase College), Yuqian Yan (Washington University in St. Louis), and Pao-chen Tang (University of Manchester).

CFP: JOURNAL OF EAST ASIAN PHILOSOPHY

Journal of East Asian Philosophy


Dear Colleagues,

We are inviting submissions to the newly launched journal, Journal of East Asian Philosophy from Springer. The deadline for the inaugural issue is February 28, 2021, with expected publication in June 2021. We accept original papers, translations, and book reviews in all areas of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean philosophical traditions. We especially welcome East Asia-West and Intra-East Asia comparative philosophical studies.

Editors: Yoshinobu Shino, Masato Goda, Yosuke Takehana, Yuko Ishihara


About the journal:

Unveils the philosophical potential of the three main East Asian philosophical traditions, namely, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, inclusively and comprehensively, which philosophize with Chinese characters in irreducibly diverse fashions.

Explores how East Asian philosophical tradition(s) receive and confront the Greek-origin term, philosophia, and create their own philosophical systems parallel to the European history of philosophy.

Fosters the dialogue among East Asian philosophical traditions, which remains under-developed. 

The aim of this journal is fourfold. First, it examines the reception of and confrontations with Western philosophy in East Asia. Secondly, it promotes the dialogue between various philosophical discourse and traditions in East Asia. Thirdly, it explores the potential of East Asian philosophy comprehensively. Fourthly, it attempts to articulate the history of East Asian philosophy. All time periods, themes, figures, texts, traditions and so on within and without East Asian philosophical contexts are welcome. Instead of confining East Asia to specific nations, languages, cultures, schools and so on, this journal perceives East Asia as a transnational and transcultural concept. East Asian philosophy, therefore, is a dynamic philosophical consortium that intercepts with philosophical texts, figures, concepts and traditions by trespassing cultural essentialism and national. East Asia-West and Intra-East Asia comparative philosophical studies are particularly welcome.

  • Please submit your papers through the online system, which you can access from the journal website: click here

International Politics in the Korean Peninsula,

Seoul National University


Explore the genesis, expansion, projection and challenges of the Chinese World Order in China and East Asia.


About this course:

This course is divided into three parts. First, you’ll learn how the Chinese World Order emerged in the ancient world, focusing on the concept of the "heavenly mandate" (天命) as the ultimate source of political power (1 module). You’ll also learn how the Chinese World Order expanded into the relationship between China and surrounding political entities (1 module) and several challenges when the Qing (淸) Empire replaced the Ming (明) Empire.

Second, this course will review how China tried to project its world order into the relationship with Korea and Korea came to be integrated into the Chinese World Order from the 14th century to the 18th century (4 modules). More specifically, it will show how China intervened in the interstate trade and Korean music.

Finally, it will compare the two trajectories of political thoughts between Korea and Japan since 17th century.

CULTURE AND LAW: THE EAST ASIAN PERSPECTIVE COURSE


Culture and Law: The East Asian Perspective

Explore legal cultures in East Asia, Confucianism, apology, and Legal Orientalism.



About this course

In most Western cultures, personal identification is based on the individual, whereas in East Asia, the family registry system has been used to identify individuals.

“Confucianism” is one of the common ethical values in East Asia. Confucian values place much emphasis on an individual’s moral obligation to family members.

In this course, three themes will be covered. It will begin with identifying how Confucian moral and legal reasoning has evolved and the unique aspect of the role of apology in East Asia. The course also introduces the notion of Legal Orientalism and argues against the theory by presenting cases related to the advanced notion of anticipatory repudiation in China, a transfer pricing case in Japan, and Inter-Korea business law in Korea.

Students and researchers interested in an introduction to East Asian societies, conflict resolution, negotiation studies, as well as contemporary legal cases in Japan, South Korea, and China are welcomed to join the course and discussions.


What you'll learn:
  • Unveil multi-layered cultural assumptions
  • Identify cultural particulars and legal issues in East Asia
  • Learn Confucian moral values in relation to the law
  • Build thinking skills for conflict resolution

Syllabus:
  • Week 1 Confucianism and Law:
    • Introduction with Prof. Kenjiro Tsuchida
    • Confucianism and fundamentals Part 1

CFP: MONOGRAPHS OR EDITED VOLUMES FOR OUR NEW SERIES IN EAST ASIAN STUDIES


Call for papers; Vernon Press
Monographs or Edited Volumes for our new Series in East Asian Studies


Vernon Press invites book proposals for edited volumes, co-authored books and single-author monographs on East Asian Studies, with an interdisciplinary outlook.

Generally described as the subregion in Asia comprised by North Korea, South Korea, Japan, China, Macao, Mongolia, Hong Kong, and China, East Asia has always fascinated the Western world. The history, culture, art, and literature—to name but a few—of this area have been consistently studied in academic circles for many generations, frequently in departments called East Asian Languages and Cultures (EALC). However, and in recent decades, new outlooks have emerged to study these aspects and many others related to East Asia, especially in the wake of Edward Said’s essential Orientalism (1978). The interest in this region and its study can also be observed by the increasing number of East Asian Studies programmes in universities all around the world.

This series will be of interest to scholars and students as well as independent researchers with an interest in East Asian studies from an interdisciplinary perspective.

Possible contributions include (but are not limited to):
  • Literary interpretations of East Asian countries
  • Cultural studies on the region
  • East Asian American literary studies
  • East Asian representation in media
  • Rediscovering and rewriting East Asian history
  • Forgotten East Asian women
  • Sociological studies on the region
  • East Asian archaeology

 How to submit your proposal

Please submit one-page monograph proposals to submissions@vernonpress.com or victoria.echegaray@vernonpress.com, including a summary, a short biographical note and (if applicable) a list of similar titles. Proposals that treat other topics of relevance to the series in Irish Studies are also welcome. More information on what we look for in a proposal is available on our website.

Deadline: September 15, 2020.


About the publisher
