CFP: STATE AND SOCIETY IN ASIA: PAST AND PRESENT, NEW YORK CONFERENCE ON ASIAN STUDIES


State and Society in Asia: Past and Present,


October 7-8, 2022. Syracuse University


We invite submissions from scholars across all disciplines on all topics related to Asia and Asian Studies. We are particularly interested in topics related to our main theme: “State and Society in Asia: Past and Present.” In bringing scholarly perspectives to these current events, questions that interest us include: What historical legacies of the state persist in contemporary Asia? What roles do technology and urban development play in extending state power to unprecedented degrees? Conversely, how does a vacuum in state infrastructure in countries like Afghanistan create conditions for regime change? Can countries like Myanmar continue to isolate themselves and not suffer social and economic hardships? Contemporary artists, filmmakers, and environmental activists frequently challenge and critique these developments. How do regime changes unsettle and re-arrange key local and national cultural constituents and what impact do these changes have on environmental history, archaeology, and cultural heritage sites?

Submit your paper or panel abstract by June 15, 2022 here.

Send any questions to the conference chair:

CFP: PHOTOGRAPHY IN ASIA 1839-1939 (ONLINE / ACADEMY OF PERFORMING ARTS (APA), PRAGUE & EUROPEAN ASSOCIATION FOR ASIAN ART AND ARCHAEOLOGY



Photography in Asia 1839-1939 (online / Academy of Performing Arts (APA),



Proposals are invited for the international symposium: Photography in Asia 1839-1939

Accepted submissions will also be published in a peer-reviewed publication.

Deadline: 7 Jun 2021

The discovery of photography played a key role in the growth of learning about remote areas, as it allowed for the capture and faithful interpretation of reality. Articles and news in periodicals and book publications of travelogues were suddenly completed with shots whose authenticity could not be disputed. Photography, one of the most important inventions of the 19th century, became an important milestone in the knowledge of new regions and their inhabitants, culture and lifestyle.

Only a few years after the creation of the first daguerreotypes, the first attempts at their recreation were made in the Far East. At the same time, European and American photographers made their way there thanks to the so-called “open ports” and set up their own photographic studios, where their assistants familiarized themselves better with the technology of photography. This transfer of knowledge gave rise to a new generation of domestic photographers that was very familiar with the technological possibilities of photography and the contemporary technological methods but also brought new inspiration into their photographic work which followed up on the domestic art tradition.

Photography and visual documentation soon became essential sources of information about Asian countries, the different nations there, and a contemporary testimony about historical events. Photography made it possible to learn about new worlds and find out more about remote regions from the comfort of one’s home. Thanks to travelers, diplomats, merchants, correspondents for European or American periodicals, sailors at commercial ships or warships, or simply just adventurers, the medium of photography gradually made its way to other places around the world, as part of memories of distant journeys or as part of the newly emerging collection fonds. Nevertheless, these activities did not only take place within the colonial powers such as England or France, but they also started to be undertaken more frequently in what were more or less peripheries, such as Central and Eastern Europe, Germany, Italy or Austria-Hungary.

The phenomenon of contemporary Asian photography or photography in the Asian genre or with local themes was not at the center of attention of specialized workers and curators for a very long time. Only over the past 20 years, the phenomenon was rehabilitated and studied more in-depth, especially in Western Europe and America, thanks also to the commercial interests of artistic or antiquarian auctions and jumble sales. However, the region of Central and Eastern Europe has only been involved marginally with this research. That is why the organizers of this symposium have formulated several questions and study topics that could be discussed at the upcoming symposium. They are, above all: How is Asian photographic documentation and reproduction currently evaluated and classified? What is the role of a mediator – curator in the organization and creation of inventory fonds of memory institutions? What is the point of view on this transfer of knowledge resulting from the status of the volatile medium itself? What resonance does this transfer of knowledge have in Asian destinations? Are period photographs really just souvenir items without any artistic value? Who actually were the collectors of these items and for what purpose did they gather them?

We invite any interested experts, collectors or members of the general lay public to attend our international symposium and we welcome not only the aforementioned topics but also new perspectives, impulses and observations. Together with the invited guest speakers, we will “focus” on photography in Asia!

This call for papers welcomes presentations from particular areas of interest and we welcome proposals that explore the following topics related on photography in Asia:

  1. Uniqueness and reproduction – visuality and transformation – facticity
  2. Archetypes – stereotypes – genres: variability – identity – (re) presentation from Eastern and Western perspective and its interpretation
  3. Photographic collections – curators, collectors, travelers and their admirers

The conference will be held in English.


Invited guests and keynote speakers:


Considering the pandemic situation, we expect the symposium to take place in a hybrid or online-only form on one of the web platforms. Streaming of all lectures will be provided.

Accepted submissions will be published in a peer-reviewed publication. The symposium and the publication of a collective monograph are supported from the Project Competition grant of the APA in Prague.


Paper proposals:

An abstract of up to 250 words for 20-minute talks and a short CV (c. 150 words), title, affiliation and contact information (address, telephone number, e-mail) should be sent to: asiaphoto21@gmail.com
  • Deadline for submissions: 7 June, 2021
  • Notification of acceptance: 20 June, 2021
  • Deadline for registration: 24 September 2021
  • Conference costs: free

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

Vernon Press is an independent publisher of scholarly books in the social sciences and humanities. We work closely with authors, academic associations, distributors, and library information specialists to identify and develop high quality, high impact titles.

CFP: “EUROPEAN STUDIES IN ASIAN ART AND ARCHAEOLOGY”, EAAA MONOGRAPH SERIES


EAAA 3rd Monograph Series Volume
“European Studies in Asian Art and Archaeology”

Published by EAAA and BRILL


The EAAA Monograph Series “European Studies in Asian Art and Archaeology” offers in-depth and peer-reviewed scholarly contributions to topics relevant to Asian Art and Archaeology that consider subjects in a broader Asian context. The goal of this series is to analyze and interpret the social and artistic histories and heritages in Asian societies from ancient to contemporary context. This series, therefore, contributes a deeper understanding of the cultural, philosophical, political, religious and ideological values of Asia.

The Editorial Board is currently inviting proposals for the third volume. We seek an innovative book proposal that will raise new research questions as well as challenge or open up innovative theoretical and methodological pathways in the fields of art history and Asian Studies.

The first volume of “European Studies in Asian Art and Archaeology”, “Production, Distribution and Appreciation: New Aspects on East Asian Lacquer Wares” (Brill, 2018), focused on various aspects of Asian lacquer art ranging from the 2nd century BC to the 17th century AD. Authors in this volume addressed recent excavations of lacquer ware from tombs in China, the distribution of lacquer objects throughout the Eurasian hemisphere, the significance of lacquer ware in everyday life, the technical aspects of lacquer production in Korea and the appreciation of Japanese lacquer in Asia and Europe. The second volume, “China in Europe: Performance, Material Culture and Display 1600-1900,” deals with the introduction of Chinese objects to Europe, their reception and, consequently, their imitation known as chinoiseries. Various topics being studied include kraak porcelain, tin-glazed tiles with Chinese imagery, masqued balls at Louis XIV’s court, the ambiguity of representations à la Chinoise, illusionist wall- painting, garden planning and Cantonese export paintings. etc. The volume will be published in 2020.

Scholars of Asian art and archaeology from Europe and beyond are invited to submit their proposals that engage the fields of art and archaeology of China, Japan, Korea, South and Central Asia as well as Asian transregional and transnational studies.

 
Proposals should include an abstract of the volume, name of authors (+ affiliation, a short CV of max. 100 words), titles and abstracts of individual papers/chapters.

Proposals should be sent to Hans Bjarne Thomsen: thomsen@khist.uzh.ch by 31 October 2019.

The language of publication is English.

Deadline: 31 October 2019

CFP: STRANGE KOREAN PARALLELS: AN INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE




Strange Korean Parallels: an international conference for comparative approaches to the history and archaeology of Korea and Northeast Asia with other global regions

10 – 11 January 2019

University of Helsinki, Finland
A call for bold papers

BACKGROUND:

As fellow Koreanists, when taking an interest in – or otherwise confronted with – any non-Korea related topic, we likely share the same uncontrollable impulse to raise Korea as analogy or contrasting case. Reading histories of other nations or topical areas, we often either encounter a comforting familiarity due to the power of analogy, or find ourselves in minor shock that history contains alternative contingencies. Such reactions can extend beyond narrative content to methodologies and historiography, where we start to wonder or imagine what the Korean equivalent of a given study or methodology might yield.

This conference is open to a range of approaches, but to begin we pose the question: What if Lieberman had included Korea within his seminal two volume study, Strange Parallels (2003, 2009)? What was Korea’s charter polity? Does the peninsula fall within ‘protected’ or ‘exposed’ zones?

The late 2000s also saw the Stanford Ancient Chinese and Mediterranean Empires Comparative History Project, culminating in two edited volumes. These principally dealt with topics of the metropoles and interiors, but what of frontier zones? Namely, how did the experience of Liaodong and northern Korea under nominal Chinese commandery rule compare to the near concomitant period of Romano-Britain?

More immediately, Korea and Vietnam have been treated as longe durée comparative subjects by a consortium of universities, with key articles – some again referencing Lieberman – recently published in IIAS’s (International Institute for Asian Studies, Leiden) The Newsletter (No.79 Spring 2018). Korean historiography, meanwhile, has been afforded comparative potential through incisive chapters included in four of the five volumes of The Oxford History of Historical Writing (2011).

Over the past decade, the number of high quality monographs on various periods and subjects of Korean history has greatly increased. Aside from reading them, what more can be done with a stimulating book or data set? Comparisons can provide a next stage, wherein the insights obtained from Korean historical contexts are utilized to inform wider discussions of global history, while the arguments based on deep, Korea specific research might be calibrated, refined or challenged in light of new analogies. Broader arguments for comparison as a tool in area studies are found in a recent article by Michael Herzfeld, juxtaposing more contemporary historical circumstances of Thailand and Greece ( The Journal of Asian Studies Vol.76, No.4. 2017).

CALL AND CONFERENCE DETAILS:

We thus invite historians and archaeologists of all periods of Korea to experiment with possible comparisons and contrasts they have perhaps often thought of but rarely felt license to explore further. Strange Korean Parallels is open to proposals pertaining to all areas of Korea’s past that contain a comparative approach with other global regions or localities. Broad areas include, but are not limited to: pre- and early history, micro and macro histories, social history, intellectual history, environmental history, historiography, popular and pseudo history, and finally digital humanities methodologies.

We further invite comparative historians and specialists of other regions with an interest in treating Korea and pursuing collaborative research. The conference is open to doctoral students and above. Both individual and panel proposals are welcome.

The primary aims of this first conference are to establish the foundations for comparative approaches to Korean history, to demonstrate the potential of such research, and to develop a shared research identity among scholars. In particular this conference seeks to bridge East–West divides, and welcomes scholars from Korea and all other countries and continents, to ensure a diverse representation from the outset of this project.

Rather than panels of single speakers, the structure of the conference will be based around panels of working group discussions. For this to be productive, selected participants are asked to commit to submitting a working paper, and will be encouraged to begin dialogue with fellow panelists in advance.

During the conference we will also discuss publication strategies and we welcome early expressions of interest from journals or publishers.

Financially, we aim to provide selected participants with 3 nights accommodation in Helsinki including breakfast (9-12 January), 2 lunches and 2 dinners across the conference days. Participants are responsible for their own travel arrangements.

Please send abstracts (500-600 words) as Word files to: andrew.logie@helsinki.fi with the subject “SKP abstract [SURNAME Name]”.

Abstracts should include your name, position and affiliation.

You should receive confirmation of receipt within five working days.

The working language of the conference is English. Bilingual Korean and English language abstracts will also be accepted.

For further updates, look for the Strange Korean Parallels page (#StrangeKoreanParallels) on Facebook.
