CFP: "WORLDS OF IMAGINATION: MEDIA, PLACE AND TOURISM IN TODAY’S GLOBAL WORLD" ONLINE CONFERENCE


"Worlds of Imagination: Media, Place and Tourism in Today’s Global World"

April 7th- 9th 2021

Online conference / Erasmus University Rotterdam


Keynote speakers:


In today’s globalized, transnational and digitalized media environment, popular culture plays a significant role in the establishment and (re)negotiation of place identities and the ways in which people relate to physical locations. Traveling to film locations, participating in fan re-enactments or visiting theme parks are some of the varied and multifaceted ways in which the ties between people’s worlds of imagination and the real worlds they inhabit are made tangible through place. 

This conference highlights the interconnections between media, tourism and place and aims to bring together the diverse perspectives, approaches and actors involved in this process while focusing on critical issues accompanying this multifaceted phenomenon. We venture off the beaten track by adopting a decidedly global perspective and putting emphasis on the exploration, analysis and comparison of cases from around the world. Consider Bollywood, which produces more films, for a larger audience, than Hollywood does every year, and how Chinese, Indian and Russian travellers increasingly determine the face of international tourist flows. This conference aims to broaden the horizons by including and comparing research into, for example, Bollywood films, Brazilian telenovelas and South Korean K-pop culture. 

We proudly present the following keynote speakers: Prof. Dal Yong Jin (Simon Fraser University), editor of Transmedia Storytelling in East Asia: The Age of Digital Media (2020) and author of Transnational Korean Cinema: Cultural Politics, Film Genres, and Digital Technologies (2019);  Prof. Sangkyun Kim (Edith Cowan University), editor of Food Tourism in Asia (2019, with Ian Yeoman and Eerang Park) and Film tourism in Asia: Evolution, transformation and trajectory (2018, with prof. dr. Stijn Reijnders); Prof. Mimi Sheller (Drexel University), author of Island Futures: Caribbean Survival in the Anthropocene (expected 2020) and Mobility Justice: The Politics of Movement in an Age of Extremes (2018); Prof. Peter U. C. Dieke (University of Nigeria), editor of Research Themes for Tourism (2011, with Peter Robinson and Sine Heitmann) and The Political Economy of Tourism Development in Africa (2000); Prof. Lúcia Nagib (University of Reading), author of Realist Cinema as World Cinema: Non-cinema, Intermedial Passages, Total Cinema (expected 2020) and Brazil on screen: Cinema Novo, new cinema and utopia (2007), and Prof. Matt Hills (University of Huddersfield), author of Fan Cultures (2002) and Doctor Who: The Unfolding Event (2015).

This year the current Corona crisis has hit the world hard, also with regard to its media and tourism industries. The lockdown has seriously hampered filming and all other media production practices both on location and in the studio. At the same time, the tourism industry as a whole is suffering a disastrous year after a virtually constant annual growth since the late 1950s. At the time of writing there are modest signs the media and tourism industries are finding answers to the current crisis. It is clear, though, that the need to find more sustainable ways to deal with the interrelation between popular culture and tourism is even more relevant now that the Corona crisis has become part of the global agenda. This conference also aims to address this issue.

We seek to bring together scholars across disciplines, including, but not limited to, media studies, cultural studies, cultural geography, fan studies, tourism studies, and development studies. We invite papers that address all themes around media, place and tourism, such as:

  • Media tourism
  • Popular culture and heritage
  • Film location production
  • Film (and) tourism policies
  • Impacts of filmmaking and tourism on locations and communities
  • Imaginative geographies in media and tourism
  • Fan re-enactments
  • Place identity and belonging
  • Media tourist experiences
  • Theme-parks and tourism
  • Critical issues in media tourism
  • Comparative studies on media tourism
  • (Interdisciplinary) theories on media tourism

Creative presentation formats are welcomed. Moreover, we warmly encourage participation by scholars from the Global South, early career researchers and filmmakers working at the intersection of media, place and tourism. The conference aims to include a special (online) movie screening session, where filmmakers are invited to showcase and discuss their work on this topic. 

Due to governmental measures regarding COVID-19, the conference will take place predominantly online. We plan on organizing some live events in the city of Rotterdam (such as public lectures), but these will also be livestreamed for those preferring to participate fully online. The conference is organized by the ‘Worlds of Imagination’ research group consisting of Prof. dr. Stijn Reijnders, dr. Emiel Martens, Débora Póvoa, Apoorva Nanjangud, Henry Chow and Rosa Schiavone, and sponsored by the European Research Council (ERC). 

Please submit your abstracts of max. 300 words and a short biographical statement (max. 50 words) to info@worldsofimagination.eu before December 1st, 2020. For more information, please access our website. 

Kind regards,

Worlds of Imagination Organizers

CFP: NORTH KOREAN CULTURE AND CINEMA


Situations: Cultural Studies in the Asian Context Fall 2020 Issue
“The Personal and the Political in Contemporary North Korean Culture and Cinema”


We invite submissions of full-length essays on the important but largely understudied topic of “North Korean Culture and Cinema” for the September 2020 issue. The existing studies on North Korean cinema have mainly focused on the ideological role of the cinema as a propaganda tool of the state. Given the rapidly changing circumstances of North Korea under Kim Jong-un’s leadership and his ongoing attempts to reform and open the regime, however, we seek to illuminate North Korean cinema from a broader set of perspectives, including thematic, formal and technical approaches to the topic as well as its relationship with other artistic forms and emergent technologies. This special issue will feature articles from the following scholars, and we anticipate that many other scholars will be interested in taking part in this important unfolding scholarly debate.

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.

CFP: MEDIATING THE SOUTH KOREAN OTHER; REPRESENTATIONS AND DISCOURSES OF DIFFERENCE IN THE POST/NEOCOLONIAL NATION STATE



Mediating the South Korean other:
Representations and discourses of difference in the post/neocolonial nation state

South Korea’s ethnoscape has undergone dynamic change. It is peculiar as it has both a postcolonial history with Japan and a neocolonial relationship with the United States. These histories shape complex views of who belongs and who is valued vis-a-vis racial, ethnic, and national others. One major site of the construction of difference is popular culture. Popular and online media in South Korea construct difference through celebration of the desirable otherness of Whites and biracial White-Koreans (Ahn, 2015), the joining of Southeast Asian women and their multi-ethnic children in the paternal nation-state through the loss of their difference (Oh & Oh, 2016), and marginalized, outcast others, who are rendered irredeemably different. With this in mind, the purpose of the book is to animate postcolonial impulses by drawing together local theories developed in the South Korean context that focuses on the construction of ethnicized, racialized, and nationalized difference in the local cultural terrain.

CFP: "EL IMPACTO DEL AUDIOVISUAL JAPONÉS Y SURCOREANO CONTEMPORÁNEO EN EL ÁMBITO HISPANOHABLANTE", REVISTA L'ATALANTE




En los últimos años se ha consolidado el incremento acelerado de la presencia global de expresiones diversas de las culturas populares japonesa y surcoreana contemporánea, pese al creciente interés por el aumento de la influencia de China como potencia dominante en Asia oriental. El interés por la literatura, los productos gráficos, la música pop, los videojuegos, la gastronomía y, sobre todo, las producciones audiovisuales procedentes de Japón y Corea del Sur, ha convertido así a estos dos países en auténticas superpotencias culturales que ocupan un lugar destacado en la fragmentada oferta del entretenimiento a escala mundial (Lie, 2014; Kuwahara, 2014; Otmazgin y Lyan, 2013).

CFP: "INFRASTRUCTURE", ISSUE 6.2, VERGE: STUDIES IN GLOBAL ASIAS


"INFRASTRUCTURE"
Issue 6.2
 
The infrastructures of the modern world—from roads and railways to global communications, from codes of law to the code within computers—move things, people, and ideas and help craft regions and urban spaces while conveying the images that people use to shape selves and communities. In all these ways, infrastructures have been central to the historical and contemporary experiences of Asian communities. Across the humanities and social sciences, however, infrastructure has only recently emerged as a topic of focus, and questions remain about how to analyze infrastructures as material artifacts and media of the imagination, to read for their appearances in literature or interpret representations of them in film, and to understand their role in contemporary aesthetic, political, or ecological practices.

CFP: "NATIONAL IDENTITIES AND THE YOUTH IN EAST ASIA: POPULAR CULTURE, POLITICAL MOBILISATION, AND DIGITAL SPACES" WORKSHOP




National Identities and the Youth in East Asia: 
Popular Culture, Political Mobilisation, and Digital Spaces
Workshop at the Université libre de Bruxelles, Belgium, 2-3 May 2019

As East Asian societies seek to come to term with demographic, economic, political and technological transitions in recent decades, the younger generation – the so-called Millennials born after 1980 –  have been both impacted by and assuming an increasingly active role in shaping these transformations. Despite being frequently depicted as a politically apathetic generation and with only limited access to traditional levers of state and cultural power, the youth in East Asia have been able to negotiate their political identities through a variety of channels outside official institutions such as popular culture, social and political activisms, and online communications. Digital spaces have become a particularly significant venue for the technologically sophisticated youth to engage in explicit or disguised forms of mobilisations and self-expressions as a strategy to, for instance, resist authoritarian control or to cope with social isolation. On the other hand, from the umbrella movement in Hong Kong and the sunflower movement in Taiwan to emerging feminist activisms in mainland China despite heightened oppressions, the youth are also increasingly involved in claiming the physical public space and in some cases utilising digital networks as a tool for real-world mobilisations. 

CFP: "NORTH KOREA AND COMMUNICATION", ICA PRE-CONFERENCE 2019




North Korea and Communication
ICA Pre-Conference at Hilton Washington DC
May 24, 2019

North Korea has been an under-explored area in communication research. Limitations on movement and communication, as well as physical isolation of the country in the global arena, has made it difficult for scholars to produce meaningful research about North Korea. In recent years, however, there have been major developments in the communication infrastructure, with the introduction of cellular phones to the general public, resulting in over 70% of Pyongyang citizens having access. Foreign correspondents from the US, Europe and South Korea have been allowed to set up permanent foreign bureaus. In 2018, the North Korean leader has engaged in fast-paced diplomacy with the US, South Korea and China. Taken together, these changes are leading to a new era in communication about, within and around North Korea.

CFP: EAST ASIA IN GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE: TRANSNATIONAL MOVEMENT AND EXCHANGE IN THE AGE OF EMPIRE, C. 1850-1950


An International History Conference
The Education University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, S.A.R. China
(24-25 May 2019)
The conclusion of the so-called “unequal treaties” between Euro-American powers and East Asian states brought a growing number of foreigners to China, Korea and Japan. Treaty ports and foreign settlements such as Shanghai, Tianjin, Harbin, Jemulpo, Nagasaki, Kobe and Yokohama, as well as the British colony of Hong Kong and the German lease of Jiaozhou, developed into lively trading centres. The rise of Japanese imperialism in Korea and Taiwan added a further dimension from the late nineteenth century on. Competition, cooperation and conflict between different imperial and national projects found expression in multiple ways. This conference provides a forum to discuss the social, political and cultural implications of the Japanese and Euro-American colonial presence in East Asia from the mid-nineteenth century to the Second World War.
