CFP: THE JOURNAL OF NORTHEAST ASIAN HISTORY VOL. 17


Call for papers:

The Journal of Northeast Asian History Vol. 17


Dear Colleagues,


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 that have significant relevance to Asian history, thus charting globalism and localism from global perspectives.

The Journal of Northeast Asian History calls for the submission of outstanding and unpublished papers for review and possible publication in 2020. The Foundation invites colleagues to consider the Journal when seeking to publish ongoing research since they believe this can be an impetus for further scholarly collaboration in the future. For full consideration, please submit manuscripts by October 30, 2020. 

Please contact them at jnah@nahf.or.kr or jnah.nahf@gmail.com should you have any questions regarding the journal, its submission process, or subscription to it.


The Foundation thank you in advance for your attention and contributions.

CFP: SPYING ON EAST ASIA: INTELLIGENCE AND SURVEILLANCE IN THE AGE OF INFORMATION.


Spying on East Asia: Intelligence and Surveillance in the Age of Information

October 31-November 1, 2020
Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures, Washington University in St. Louis


This two-day conference will focus on secret agents and hidden control during hot, cold, and information wars in East Asia throughout the twentieth century to the present. Competition over information formed an invisible yet vitally important battlefield that had paramount effects on the war front in the first half of the twentieth century. Newly invented media technologies, such as radio, telegram, and tape recording, were mobilized to gather, reproduce, and disseminate intelligence. Secret agents and spies crossed institutional, regional, and national boundaries, destabilizing senses of truth and trust. The prevalence of the espionage genre in East Asia reflects the heightened political tension that persisted throughout the cold war, and also contributes to contemporary imaginations of wartime. Today, new technologies of surveillance and information control have largely reshaped people’s social experience and sense of security, raising pressing questions about power, privacy, and identity.

Bringing together scholars from various disciplines, this conference presents a collective effort to unveil the secrecy and significance of information circulation and control in changing historical contexts. How did hidden forms of control impact the trajectory of social history as well as everyday life? How is the secret world of espionage represented in popular culture? In what ways do new media technologies shape social relations and the production of identity? Topics contributors may wish to consider include:
  • Spy novels, films and TV dramas
  • Wartime and Cold War espionage trainings and activities
  • Disguised identity and the issue of collaboration
  • Media technology (radio, telegram, recording devices, computer, facial recognition, Artificial Intelligence, etc.) in information gathering and circulation
  • Surveillance and control
  • Security and privacy
Related creative approaches and inquires are welcome.


We invite scholars and Ph.D. students in the humanities and social sciences to attend the conference, to be held on the campus of Washington University in St. Louis, October 31-November 1, 2020. Please email an abstract of no more than 300 words to Dr. Yuqian Yan (yyuqian@wustl.edu) by May 15, 2020. Graduate students should also submit a short curriculum vita (1-2 pages) to receive full consideration. Successful applicants will be notified before June 1, 2020, and will be asked to submit a completed draft of their papers by October 10, 2020 for pre-circulation purposes.

Local accommodations including food and lodging will be covered by the conference. We regret that we are unable to cover faculty participant’s travel costs. Graduate students will be reimbursed up to $300 to cover travel expenses.

CFP: MUTUAL IMAGES 8TH INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP RYUKOKU UNIVERSITY


Mutual Images 8th International Workshop
Japanese Pilgrimages.
Experiences and motivations behind cultural, spiritual, and religious peregrinations from and to East Asia.
(Kyoto) 5-8 June 2020


Pilgrimages are a phenomenon as old as humanity with relevant consequences in the social, economic and cultural lives of countries and regions. On an individual level, there are many motivations behind the pilgrim experience where identity aspects such as religious affiliation, spiritual beliefs, tradition or mere curiosity play an important role. In recent years, the cultural industries and tourism industries have also developed sophisticated strategies in order to reach new audiences and gain market share. Content producers have obtained the sponsorship of national agencies in order to develop their products as a way of reinforcing National Branding. National agencies focused on tourism and development have found that representations of cultural heritage through fictional media positively impacts tourism through these Media Pilgrimages (also referred to as Content Tourism or Media Tourism), and media representations become a relevant tool for regional development.
