CFP: "CREATIVE KOREA: EXPLORING CONTEMPORARY KOREAN CULTURAL INDUSTRIES AND CULTURAL PRODUCTION" CONFERENCE


“Creative Korea: Exploring Contemporary Korean Cultural Industries

and Cultural Production” Conference


Conference Dates: 4 and 5 May 2023

Venue: Department of Arts, University of Bologna, Bologna (Italy)

Deadline for proposals: 29 January 2023

Result notification: 15 February 2023


In recent years, Korean cultural industries have established themselves as among the most dynamic and successful at the global level, both artistically and commercially. Supported by a series of worldwide successes, the Korean Wave has become one key example of non-Western cultural production that was able to engage global audiences, to influence the way in which they consume pop culture and to adapt to the transformative changes brought by new social and digital media technologies.

The conference will focus on exploring the different aspects of contemporary Korean cultural production, with an inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary perspective, including the many different sectors that compose the Korean Wave:
  • Film and TV Production
  • Music
  • Performing Arts
  • Visual Art
  • Comics and Graphic Novels
  • Webtoons
  • Animation
  • Videogames and E-Sports
  • Fashion and Food
The aim is to analyze the multiple factors that have made this growth possible, the specific characteristics of cultural industries and cultural production in Korea, the different influences that shaped this production, the socio-political and economic effects and impact of the spread of Korean cultural products both inside and outside Korea.

SUBMISSIONS should include an ABSTRACT (300 words) and a SHORT BIO (100 words) and be sent to CREATIVEKOREA2023@GMAIL.COM before 29 January 2023.

Proposals from PhD students, early career researchers and independent scholars are welcome.

Publication plan: at the end of the conference, we will look for an opportunity to publish an edited volume.

Enquiries can be directed to: Dr. Mary Lou Emberti Gialloreti, University of Bologna, marylou.emberti@unibo.it


The event is funded by the Academy of Korean Studies. (AKS-2021-INC-2230003)

CFP: ISSUE 9.2, VERGE: STUDIES IN GLOBAL ASIAS


Call for opening section Convergence,

Issue 9.2, Verge: Studies in Global Asias


Boundaries and borders are neither static nor innately cartographic: they are in constant flux and always in process of being reconfigured. This special issue highlights how studies of place and movement can help us remap culinary cultures and become more aware of the spatial dimensions of gastronomic practice. How does bodily movement and its constraints direct us to new points of view about culinary cultures in Global Asias? What are the forces behind the formation of culinary nationalism, nativism, and ethnocentrism in Asian and diasporic communities—and how have they affected the ways people practice and contest foodways? How do material contexts—from squatting to standing, from wells to sinks, from floor level cutting utensils to cutting boards, from cowdung cakes to natural gas— shape techniques, taste, and culinary habits? How do infrastructural investments and aesthetic imaginaries of food expand our understanding of the relationship between self and other?

We invite papers on transnational flows (both imaginary and real), border making and breaking, culinary heritages and innovations, techniques and technologies, and the relationships between the production, distribution and consumption of food in Asia and its multiple diasporas. We welcome projects that approach the study of food contextually and that highlight the intersectional and cross-disciplinary implications of spaces and movements of bodies, dead or alive, as produce, product or terminus. Theoretical explorations on the shifting grounds of the intersection of disciplines are also welcome.


Essay Submissions

Essays (between 6,000-10,000 words) and abstracts (125 words) should be submitted electronically to verge@psu.edu and prepared according to the author-date + bibliography format of the Chicago Manual of Style. See section 2.38 of the University of Minnesota Press style guide or chapter 15 of the Chicago Manual of Style Online for additional formatting information. The essay submission deadline: February 1, 2022.

Authors’ names should not appear on manuscripts; instead, please include a separate document with the author’s name, address, institutional affiliations, and the title of the article with your electronic submission. Authors should not refer to themselves in the first person in the submitted text or notes if such references would identify them; any necessary references to the author’s previous work, for example, should be in the third person.


Convergence Feature Proposals

One of Verge: Studies in Global Asias’ distinctive features is an opening section called Convergence, where we curate a rotating series of rubrics that emphasize collaborative intellectual engagement and exchange. Each issue features four of the following rubrics: A&Q, a responsive dialogue, either in interview or roundtable format, inspired by a set of questions; Codex, a collaborative discussion and assessment of books, films, or exhibits; Translation, for texts, primary or secondary, not yet available in English; Field Trip, reports from various subfields of the disciplines; Portfolio, commentaries on visual images; and Interface, texts exploring the resources of the print-digital world. We welcome those interested in these features to submit a Convergence proposal for the issue.

Proposals should be 1-2 pages in length and indicate what kind of feature is being proposed; demonstrate an awareness of the formats utilized by the journal; include an abstract and, if collaborative, a list of proposed contributors; and include a short (2 pg) cv.

The Convergence proposals deadline is August 1, 2021, however, we encourage those interested in submitting to contact co-editors about their ideas in advance of this date. Please direct all inquiries and submissions to verge@psu.edu.

CFP: INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON HISTORY OF INSURANCE IN GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE


History of Insurance in a Global Perspective

International Conference

University of Basel, Switzerland

20–22 July 2022


Conference theme:

This international conference investigates insurance as a crucial element of the general globaliza­tion of finance and of capitalism. Since the early modern period, the geographical diffusion of insurance is closely linked to processes of globalization and de-globalization. The conference presents a broad picture of the multi-dimensional history of international insurance. This covers different periods, regions and branches of insurance: from late-medieval and early modern maritime insurance over the diffusion of life and non-life insurance in the Western hemisphere during the 19th century, the rise of non-Western markets and corporations in colonial and post-colonial contexts, to the effects of recent financial crises on global insurance markets. A global lens also invites a combination of a wider global perspective with local, micro-historical analyses.

Sessions and papers are invited to take either a comparative view, contras­ting different geographical contexts, or a generalizing, international perspective, investiga­ting for example the internationalization and globalization of insurance or international net­works and organizations related to insurance (congresses, societies, cartels etc.). They can investigate the business context, including traditional forms of risk prevention and financial precaution in non-Western regions, the rise of local, non-Western insurance in­dustries, and the interaction between local and international companies in insurance. The conference theme also includes the areas of consumption, such as the social and ethnic patterns of insurance markets, and the changing perceptions of risk in different geographic and cultural contexts.

The conference will be held as a three-day event, on 20–22 July 2022, at the University of Basel, Switzerland. Scholars are particularly invited to cross traditional academic bounda­ries by offering insights on geographical entanglements or trans-epochal developments. The conference follows an interdisciplinary format, bringing together scholars from various disciplines interested in the history of insurance in global perspectives, notably from Business History, International Business Studies, Global History, Consumer History, the History of Law, and Historical Sociology.


We invite scholars interested in participating to submit proposals for papers.

  • Paper proposals should include the title and abstract (maximum 1500 characters) of the paper.
  • New session proposals (with three to four presentations) are also considered.
  • A list of accepted sessions is available on the conference website: https://history-of-insurance.dg.unibas.ch/en/.
  • All proposals should be submitted electronically by 30th of September, 2021 via the conference website. Submission instructions are available on the conference website.

Scholars are invited to propose papers within the broad thematic range described above. Papers can address topics encompassed in sessions that are already accepted by the conference Advisory Board (see list).

We particularly invite proposals for topics rarely explored in the history of insurance. They include, for example, the history of insurance in non-Western regions, such as Asia, Africa, Central and Latin America. Other fields underrepresented in the program include the history of joint-stock companies or the insurance of the slave trade since the early modern period.

Scholars will be informed about the selection of their proposal by the end of October 2021. The final decision about the conference program and the grouping of papers in sessions will be made by the conference organizers and the Advisory Board (Sabine Go, Amsterdam; Niels-Viggo Haueter, Zurich; Philipp Hellwege, Augsburg; W. Jean J. Kwon, New York; Lan Liang Zhao, Shanghai; Martin Lengwiler, Basel; Grietjie Verhoef, Johannesburg), after consultation with the session chairs.


Paper Proposal Deadline: 30th of September 2021
