CFP: "COMMODITIES AND ENVIRONMENTS IN EARLY MODERN GLOBAL ASIA, 1400-1800" EUROPEAN UNIVERSITY INSTITUTE FLORENCE


“Commodities and Environments in Early Modern Global Asia, 1400–1800”,



The international conference ‘Commodities and Environments in Early Modern Global Asia, 1400–1800’ is organized under the auspices of the European Research Council (ERC) Advanced Grant Project, CAPASIA ‘The Asian Origins of Global Capitalism’, hosted at the European University Institute in Florence, Italy. The conference explores the relationship between environments and commodities in early modern Global Asia between 1400 and 1800. It investigates the environmental consequences in these regions of the extraction, production and trade in commodities.

This conference aims to integrate multiple historiographies which have sometimes operated in mutual isolation: (i) the literature on material culture and commodities in global history; (ii) the growing field of environmental history; and (iii) studies in the history of science which have examined how the natural sciences and ethnography served Europe’s quest for trade, profit, and colonial domination.

Papers might approach the conference’s themes from a variety of different angles. Contributions could focus, for example, on one or more of the following areas of research:
  • Knowledge of the environment. What sort of ‘knowledge’ of these environments was produced during the early modern period? To what extent did visual depictions, surveying and mapmaking projects and geographical knowledge help foster commodity extraction, exploitation and trade?
  • Perceptions and imaginaries regarding the environments of Asia and the Indian Ocean World. To what extent did different representational forms condition the way various actors sought to transform, manipulate, develop and commodify these environments? Did these representations foster a political economy of ‘improvement’ of nature?
  • Ecological imperialism. What forms did ecological imperialism take and who were the actors involved in the wider commodification of nature? What commodities were developed and traded? How did the manipulation and transfer of crops and cultures unfold geographically and historically? To what extent did these processes alter the environments of global Asia? In what ways did local actors and local environments react to or resist these processes?
  • Urban environments. To what extent did the long-distance trade in commodities transform urban environments in the regions under scrutiny? What was the impact of the development of a ‘factory’ system on the environments of the cities and ports?
Conference Particulars

This conference, organised within the ERC-funded project ‘CAPASIA’ will take place at the European University Institute in Florence, Italy on 13–15 November 2024. Keynotes will be given by Professor Jakobina Arch (Whitman College) and Professor Sujit Sivasundaram (Cambridge University).

CFP: "THE MICRO AS MACRO; NARRATING WORLD HISTORIES OF SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND ENVIRONMENT" CONFERENCE


Graduate Student Conference

“The Micro as Macro: Narrating World Histories of Science, Technology, and Environment”,

UC Santa Cruz Center of World History Grad Student Conference; October 20, 2023


The UC Santa Cruz Center of World History is now accepting applications for papers or entire panels from presenters for our annual graduate student conference, "'The Micro as Macro': Narrating World Histories of Science, Technology, and Environment," to be held Friday, October 20, 2023 in Santa Cruz, CA. Since the early 2000s, the UCSC Center for World History has fostered a rich set of lectures, conferences, pedagogical workshops, and scholarly conversations in global, regional, and transnational histories. Those interested in presenting should submit a paper title and 300-word abstract. Please email your proposal to cwh@ucsc.edu by August 11.

While world history topics have expanded recently to include diverse areas, the Euro-American experience continues to dominate scholarship and is often treated as the assumed global model. The UCSC Center of World History invites paper proposals for its fourth (almost) annual graduate student conference, which explores non-European places and actors by centering on techno-scientific, environmental, sensorial, and spatial-based themes that reveal how the relationship between “small” subjects like microorganisms have shaped world history in ways that challenge or reimagine conceptions of progress and development. With this in mind, this conference will focus on histories spanning from 1700 to the present that tell global stories through small subjects such as viruses, cotton seeds, and metal alloys. By inviting a wide range of chronological and geographic loci, we hope to expand our definition of world history to one that does not default toward Euro-American experiences.

We hope to solicit individual papers that address the following topics:
  • non-Western case studies that address techno-scientific, environmental, sensorial, and spatial-based themes
  • Small subjects contributing to global histories
  • Small subjects challenging Western epistemologies
  • Small subjects informing/shaping indigenous communities
  • Intellectual ways to challenge Western hegemony
We hope to focus on histories of science, technology, and the environment that highlight marginalized and micro histories. With conference presenters, we hope to apply new and needed insights to the ways in which we understand the past. Dr. David Fedman, Associate Professor of History at UC Irvine and author of Seeds of Control: Japan's Empire of Forestry in Colonial Korea, will deliver the keynote address.

We strongly encourage in-person participation, but the conference will have remote options for those who request it. For participants who do not have conference funding from their own institution, we have limited funds for travel support.

The deadline for proposals is Friday, August 11, 2023.

Proposals should include a paper title and 300-word abstract. Please email your proposal to cwh@ucsc.edu by August 11.

We look forward to reading your proposals!

CFP: VERGE ISSUE 11.2 “THE ASIAN CENTURY: IDEA, METHOD, AND MEDIA”




Call for Papers for Verge Issue 11.2

“The Asian Century: Idea, Method, and Media”


What is the Asian Century? Are we living in it? Do its recent invocations—by writers and readers, politicians and pundits, journalists and academics—mark a return to earlier eras of relative Asian centrality on the world stage or announce a future we have yet to inhabit? Is it a paranoid, U.S.-centered discourse of Western decline or a triumphant announcement of Asian economic-semiotic arrival? Is the Asian Century an aspiration or a threat—and to whom?

The term “Asian Century” has more than one origin story. Narrators are multiple, located in both Asia and the West. In a 1988 summit, China’s Deng Xiaoping, alongside Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, may have coined the phrase by calling it into question: “In recent years, people have been saying that the next century will be the century of Asia and the Pacific, as if that were sure to be the case. I disagree with this view.” For Deng, skepticism about the inevitability of Asia’s rise was going to be crucial to the India-China partnership against the “developed” world; his skepticism hasn’t aged well. In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton declared a “pivot to Asia” in “America’s Pacific Century.” Clinton’s emphatic recapitulation of the “Asian Century” revived Western tropes of Asian ascendancy that predated Asia’s contemporary economic rise by more than a hundred years, while betraying American anxieties about the decline of US hegemony. In fact, both Deng and Clinton were responding to a process that had been underway since at least the early-1970s: the “long downturn” or tendential decline in profitability of Western economies that ran alongside the “economic miracles” of many Asian economies, including Japan’s Cold War-era boom and India’s and China’s eventual liberalization. For some, the Asian Century was, or is, a solution. Now, in an era of mounting deglobalization, its contradictions are just as sharply felt as its curious staying power.

What distinguishes the current round of Asian Century discourse is perhaps its mutual construction by “Asians” and “Westerners” alike. When the Asian Century came into wide currency in the 1990s, replacing a then-regnant “Pacific Rim” and “Pacific Century” rhetoric, it remediated a long history of similarly totalizing visions that issued not least from the “Asians” themselves: from Japan’s monstrous pursuit of the Greater East Asian Co-prosperity Sphere and Ferdinand Marcos’s dictatorial imposition of neoliberal programs in the Philippines, to the advertisement of the “Singapore model” and even China’s “century of humiliation,” which continues to vouchsafe its nationalist ressentiment. As Wang Hui’s analysis of the politics of imagining Asia has shown, visions of the Asian Century betray contradictory regionalist and nationalist ambitions that are held in focus by the apparatuses of the state and the culture industries. Thus Asian Century discourse is typically inflected by a nation or speaker’s position vis-a-vis key market and state brokers. Given that the meaning of “Asia” looks different depending on the vantage of Taiwan, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, or for that matter Saudi Arabia, what is the role of pan-Asian alliances and inter-Asian competition in constituting the Asian Century? Is Asia “one”—or only in the eyes of the West?

This special issue invites critical perspectives from scholars working in and across multiple languages and disciplines. We seek submissions that explore the Asian Century as idea, method, and media, and that examine its genealogies and itineraries from a range of contexts and histories, including of labor, empire, capital, war, technology, pandemics, dispossession, modernization, culture, and aesthetics. With “idea, method, and media,” we intend to inspire, but not circumscribe, the possible range of disciplinary approaches and primary sources that might be enlisted in responding to this call. Indeed, the idea of the Asian Century may very well be predicated on counter-articulations of its impossibility. While the Asian Century may appear at first as periodizing marker or geopolitical diagnostic, we propose that it can also be read across media and cultural forms, as an affective relation to the past, present, and future, as a structure of feeling, and as a visual and sensorial regime. Finally, in proposing the Asian Century as method, we seek to revisit and reimagine the interdisciplinary stakes of the longstanding conversation on “Asia as method.”

For example, what humanistic and social scientific methods can best track the concept’s intellectual and institutional emergence, circulation, and mediation, including well before the 21st century? How might regional Asian rivalries shape the supply chains and the capital flows of emerging trade blocs like the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) and the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP)? How have cultural production and intellectual exchange furnished the cognitive and affective frameworks for these blocs, and for Asian visions of global expansion like China’s “Belt and Road” initiative, South Korea’s cultural exports, and Taiwan’s advanced semiconductor industry? Given the increasing salience of the Asian Century as a concept for periodizing the contradictions of neoliberal capitalism, how might we trace its effects and iterations in and beyond political economy? What was the Asian Century, understood as visions and projections of Asia’s rise promoted by those who stood to benefit from such characterizations? What of the legacy and future of Third World decolonization and Indigenous struggles when Asian peripheries become, or have threatened to become, global powers? Rather than take for granted the rise of Asia as such, we seek to understand how and why Asia’s ostensible ascendance has seen not a lessening but rather a retrenchment of the conditions of planetary inequality.
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.

CFP: AMODERN 12 "ALTERNATIVE PRINT TECHNOLOGIES AND REVOLUTION"



“Alternative Print Technologies and Revolution”,

AMODERN 12


What is the relationship of alternative print technologies to revolution? What revolutionary political opportunities and cultural imaginaries are made possible by non-typographic printing? In order to answer these questions, this CFP is interested in papers to join a special issue in Amodern on Alternative Print Technologies and Revolution that explores how non-typographic technologies have shaped cultural and political practices around the world. This special issue will expand upon Amodern‘s interdisciplinary focus on media, culture, and poetics by rethinking assumptions about the relationship of print to technological, political, and social revolution(s). In particular, we call for paper submissions that explore the dynamic interplay between revolution(s), broadly, construed, and non-typographic printing in those parts of the world where typographic printing was considered ill-suited to local writing systems and script cultures, including South Asia, East Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa. We are interested in papers that investigate the relationship of non-typographic publishing networks to revolution from the early modern era to the present and how alternative print technologies beyond typography challenge assumptions about mass print culture. In particular, we encourage submissions that explore how marginalized communities deploy print technology and graphic media in unexpected and subversive ways.

Scholars from Area Studies, Art History and Design, the History of Science and Technology, STS, Media Studies, History, Religious Studies, Anthropology, and Comparative Literature, among other fields, are welcome to apply. Scholars of all ranks are encouraged to apply. WE ENCOURAGE APPLICATIONS FROM EARLY-CAREER SCHOLARS (ABD PhD students through Assistant Professors).

Please send abstracts to:

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: "GENRES AND LANGUAGE IN DIGITAL COMMUNICATION: TRENDS AND NEW DIRECTIONS" INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE

“Genres and language in Digital Communication: Trends and New Directions”

International Conference



This joint international conference brings together the 21st annual conference of the European Association of Languages for Specific Purposes (AELFE2023) and the 7th Conference of the Asia-Pacific LSP & Professional Communication Association (LSPPC7). Both associations promote the use of languages for specific purposes and professional communication. The main goal of this joint conference is to create a meeting point for scholars (researchers and practitioners) and allow them to discuss and exchange their views on the conference theme with participants from different world regions and do so from multi- and inter-disciplinary perspectives.

In a networked era, we are witnessing rapidly changing, web-mediated communication practices involving a variety of communicative purposes, audiences, modes and media. Emerging trends in disciplinary knowledge communication such as the Open Science paradigm attest to this fact. Academic and professional communication today thus poses important theoretical, methodological and pedagogical challenges that need addressing. Some of the questions that we aim to address are: What is the role of LSP teaching and research in an increasingly interconnected world? What methods and frameworks are suitable to investigate multilingual and multimodal communication online? How can practitioners support emerging digital communication needs in the professions? How can they best prepare future graduates and professionals to disseminate their work in digital environments?, and how can LSP research and practice help them develop the necessary literacies (academic, plurilingual and digital literacies)?


Strands of research

We welcome submissions on all aspects of LSP communication in relation to the AELFE thematic panels, but contributions addressing the specific theme of the conference are particularly encouraged.

Specifically, we invite proposals in broader areas such as discourse and communication, genre analysis, genres and registers, genres and multimodality, translation studies, multilingualism, languaging and translanguaging, cross-cultural and intercultural discourses, academic literacy development, acquisition of professional competence in the workplace, digital literacies, technologies for education, quality assurance in LSP teaching/learning, pedagogies for professional development and LSP teacher professional development.

Other topics in LSP and Professional Communication are also welcome.


Submission of abstracts

All abstracts will be peer-reviewed by the scientific committee, and proposals related to the AELFE panels will be evaluated by the panel coordinators. This will be followed by a notification of acceptance or request for revision.

The required format for submissions is an abstract of 300 words (excluding references), preferably in Word format. For references please follow the APA Citation Style (7TH edition). Abstracts should include a brief outline of the research/project context and clearly indicate the objectives, method(s) and results. They should be written in the language in which the presentation will be delivered.

  • Language policy: the conference languages are English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish.
  • Presentation Policy: given that the organising committee believes that conferences should provide opportunities for professional exchange, i.e., giving and receiving feedback, and meeting colleagues with similar interests, we encourage discussions following each paper presentation and also require that papers should be presented only by their authors. Non-author substitute presenters will not be allowed to present papers.
To aim at diversity, we accept only one paper presentation per author.


Important dates

  • Deadline for abstracts: January 15th, 2023
  • Notification of acceptance: January 30th, 2023
  • Registration starts: January 30th, 2023
  • Deadline for early bird registration: March 30th, 2023
  • Registration ends: June 20th, 2023


CFP: 1ST KOREAN HUMANITIES CONFERENCE OF THE JAMES JOO-JIN KIM CENTER FOR KOREAN STUDIES


1st Korean Humanities Conference of the James Joo-Jin Kim Center for Korean Studies

Nature, Technology, and Things: New Materialism in Korean Studies


An in-person conference hosted by the James Joo-Jin Kim Center for Korean Studies at the University of Pennsylvania, April 28, 2023.

This one-day interdisciplinary conference seeks to foreground the material and non-human elements of human experience on and around the Korean Peninsula. How have engagements with material worlds affected class, ethnic, gender, and racial relations in Korea? How have ways of knowing and using material things shaped Korean society? How does the circulation of natural resources, technology, artifacts, and commodities challenge established notions of boundaries, whether political, social, cultural, or epistemological? What can new materialism bring to interpretations of Korea’s past and present? We invite contributions that consider the more-than-human dimensions of Korea from fields including but not limited to anthropology, art history, literature, history, science and technology studies, and media studies. Papers on both premodern and modern periods are welcome.

Conference proceedings will consist of paper presentations followed by in-depth discussions as well as a roundtable on pedagogy. We aim to bring together early-career and senior scholars to explore fresh approaches to researching and teaching about Korea.

We will provide hotel accommodation for up to two nights and a limited amount of travel subsidies.

Please submit a paper abstract of 250-300 words and a 100-word bio by January 10, 2023. Abstracts and inquiries should be sent to naturetechthings2023@gmail.com. Acceptances will be notified by January 20, 2023.

CFP: SOUTH KOREAN SPECULATIVE FICTION. THE JOURNAL OF THE FANTASTIC IN THE ARTS


Newtrospection: Reverse-Engineering Modernity in South Korean Speculative Fiction

 
 
The Journal of the Fantastic in the Arts (JFA), published since 1988, is an interdisciplinary journal devoted to the study of the fantastic in literature, art, drama, film, and popular media. Published three times per year by the International Association for the Fantastic in the Arts, JFA’s articles are fully refereed, indexed in the MLA International Bibliography, and searchable in JSTOR. The editorial collective of JFA is currently working to make the journal indexed in SCOPUS and A&HCI as well. In early 2023 JFA plans to publish its first focused issue dedicated to South Korean science fiction and fantasy.

South Korean speculative fiction has a long and rich yet also conflicted history that spans over a century. Building on the legacy of the fantastic in premodern literature while also struggling with colonial drives toward the inculcation of science-technology (kwahak kisul – a compound term devised and systematically promoted as a state-led initiative on industrial development and lifestyle management), creators and readers of Korean science fiction have sought diverse pathways to negotiate the anxiety of influence through critical reappropriation. Taeguek Hakbo’s publication of Jules Verne’s 20,000 Leagues under the Sea (trans. 1907) for instance introduced and framed modern technology as the momentum of progress, whereas Kim Dong-yin’s short story “Dr. K’s Research” (1929) highlighted the limits of a scientific frame of reference through irony. Despite pressures to focus on the problems of the here and now in the form of critical realism, speculative narratives persisted across the mediasphere throughout the turmoil of the Korean War and compressed development; creature/cult/horror films served as an outlet for quirky imaginaries in the ‘60s~’70s, while the comics magazine culture offered a fertile ground for science fiction narratives throughout the ‘80s~early ’90s. The film industry has also embraced speculative tropes as inspiration for hybrid aesthetics after an initial period of struggle (marked by a slew of unsuccessful blockbusters in the early 2000s); television dramas, streaming media, and webtoons are actively embracing the genre as the source of creative momentum; and videogames, in particular, are thriving in the land of the fantastic. In the domain of written literature, fantasy spearheaded the break from the longstanding tradition of critical realism in pace with South Korea’s economic and political stabilization in the ‘90s, and science fiction has become the nursery of feminist breakthroughs to attract global attention over the past decade – an ever-peculiar (yet all the more welcome) state of affairs given the predominantly masculine vector of the genre’s history, paired with the patriarchic underpinning of the kwahak kisul paradigm.

Even as megahit productions such as Snowpiercer (2013), Train to Busan (2016), Space Sweepers (2021), The Silent Sea (2021), and All of Us Are Dead (2022) continue to draw a global viewership, scholarship on South Korean speculative fiction within anglophone academia has been extremely sparse. To address this gap, the editors of this focused JFA issue shed timely and much-needed light on the subject across diverse media. The goal is not to catalogue the genre’s history in South Korea; rather, focus will be laid upon how South Korean speculative fiction writers and creators reverse-engineer the Western concept of modernity through reappropriative maneuvers, taking a deep-dive into the socio-cultural and historical frameworks as innovative aesthetic and discursive ventures. Hence the title, Newtrospection. Newtro refers to a new aesthetic trend in South Korea, which involves reviving and appreciating aesthetic trends from the past. The distinction between retro and newtro lies in that whereas the former veers toward nostalgia in its texture of appreciation, and as such signals contextual significance, the latter is more about challenging existing notions of the hip and/or good in its reconfiguration of trendiness, subverting the idea that the old is passé while disavowing associations between futurity and newness with sleek technicity. Identifying such tendencies in South Korean speculative fiction, the editors believe that the manner in which recent works own and thereby recontextualize longstanding metrics of desirability effectively demonstrate a drive to reverse-engineer the core tenets of anthropocentric, patriarchic, racialized, and colonial paradigms of science and technology.

In addition to scholarly essays on literary texts, the editors also welcome papers about all forms of creative work, including translations, films, television dramas, and new media in the genre of speculative fiction created by South Korean artists or written in Korean. Themes of interest include, but are not limited to:
  • Comparative definitions, conceptualizations, and historicizations of science, technology, and sociotechnical imaginaries 
  • Modernity, premodernity, and postmodernity 
  • Humanism, posthumanism, and transhumanism 
  • Retrospection, memory, and the newtro
  • Nationalism, coloniality, Orientalism, Occidentalism, and Techno-Orientalism
  • Viruses, microorganisms, zombies, monsters, animals, plants, nonhumans, and sentient beings
  • Robots, artificial intelligence, cyborgs, genetics, and bioengineering
  • Ghosts, goblins, gods, demigods, myth, folklore, and supernatural beings 
The length of articles generally varies from 5,000 to 9,000 words and ranges from 20 to 30 pages. Please send a title and a 400-word abstract to guest editors Haerin Shin, Korea University (helenshin@stanford.kr) and Sang-Keun Yoo, UC Riverside (syoo015@ucr.edu) by May 31, 2022. Authors of accepted proposals will be contacted soon thereafter and asked to submit full papers by August 31, 2022. All papers will be subject to blind peer review.
 

Call for Book Reviews
 
There is also several books available for review for The Journal of the Fantastic in the Arts. These reviews would be due August 31, 2022.  If you have a completed Master's degree or higher, one of these books is in your field of study, and you are committed to writing a review for us, please contact the guest editors at the above email addresses, noting your preferred title and your mailing address.  The reviews need to be between 500 and 1,000 words and documented in MLA style. 
 

Available Titles

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.

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.

Background and focus:

Responsible innovation (RI) refers to taking interest in future through collaborative management of science and innovation in the present context (Stilgoe, Owen & Macnaghten, 2013). RI has focused on socio-ecological needs & challenges and committed to continuously engage relevant stakeholders to anticipate potential problems, mutual learning and improved decision-making (Wickson & Carew, 2014). Thus, the technological innovation needs to have any harmful consequences for the well-being the society and the environment at large (Swierstra & Jelsma, 2006). However, the evidences suggest for time lag between development of technology & understanding their positive & negative impacts, if any, on the health and the environment (Owen, Baxter, Maynard, Depledge, 2009). This suggests the need to invest in technological forecasting (Deuten, Rip & Jelsma, 1997) to minimize if any, the harmful effects of technological innovation. At the same time, we also find a mention of the inherent limitations associated with the regulatory frameworks and the risk management techniques to minimize the harmful consequence of technological innovation. To overcome these limitations, it has been suggested that the actors engaged in technological innovation act virtuously to realize the idea of responsible innovation (Pandza & Ellwood, 2013). Therefore, the business organization engaging in the process, service, & product innovation(s) while leveraging scientific research and technological developments in the field should be responsible for its potential negative consequences, if any, on the human being, the society, and the planet. In other words, responsible innovation asks agents involved in technology innovation to follow regulatory & societal rules, norms, and principles (Pandza & Ellwood, 2013).

The collective role of innovators and/or innovating organization(s), especially as social actors, needs to be responsive to each other from ethical, sustainable and societal desirability perspectives.  Responsible innovation is not a new concern but remains an important theme of research and innovation practice with different framing across the time and the place (Genus & Stirling, 2018; Stilgoe et al., 2013). The literature on responsibilities, risk, and governance of science & technology goes back many years (Jonas, 1984). However, the four key dimensions of responsible innovation - anticipation, reflexivity, inclusion, and responsiveness (Stilgoe et al. 2013), require a fresh thinking and requires unpacking of theorizing responsible innovation in the context of organizing innovation-focused organizations in to address the triple bottom line (i.e., the people, the profit, and the planet) so as to satisfy concerns of all relevant stakeholders.

According to Stilgoe et al. (2013), anticipation (i.e., the systematic proactive thinking for socially robust risk research), reflexivity (i.e., the moral responsibility that asks for openness and leadership), the inclusion (i.e., inclusion of all impacted stakeholders), and the responsiveness (i.e., addressing grand societal challenges) is required for the governance of science & innovation. Extant literature suggests that organizations with focus on responsible innovation deploy innovative structures to engage with its stakeholders (Malhotra, Majchrzak & Niemiec, 2017), practices environmentally focused HRM practices (Singh, Del Giudice, Chierici & Graziano, 2020). Furthermore, the previous literature suggest responsible innovation to depend upon corporate ethical policies (Singh, Chen, Del Giudice & El-Kassar, 2019), use knowledge management tools (Santoro, Thrassou, Bresciani & Del Giudice, 2019) and proactively addressing the dark side of innovative business model (Malhotra & Van Alstyne, 2014).

Having said that, we know little about how to organize organization in Asian context to have reflexive character, engage in inclusive dialogues with key stakeholders, and be responsive to both present and future grand societal challenges. Similarly, the UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP) argues for “most critical shift” necessary to attain ambitious 2030 Agenda that calls for integration of ‘people’, ‘planet’, and ‘prosperity’ components of sustainable development “in and through” science, technology and innovation (STI) policy (UNESCAP, 2016). UNESCAP (2016) makes it a point for the Governments in Asia and Pacific region of the world to institutionalize action-orientated STI programs in sync with the development strategies to attain the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations. Of course, it goes without saying that organizations across industry in Asia are mandated to organize themselves in a manner suited well to integrate ‘people’, ‘planet’, and ‘prosperity’ components of sustainable development goals of the UN through responsible innovation. In other words, the UNESCAP (2016) calls for contextualized management research with Asia relevance towards global contribution to scholarship on responsible innovation. Therefore, while building on bridging policy studies and innovation (Kern et al. 2019), digital transformation of innovation (Nambisan et al. 2019), inter-organizational relationship (Zhou, Wu & Li, 2019) and the bright & dark-side of political ties (Wang, Zhang, & Shou, 2019), this special issue focuses on questions that investigate how to organize an organization for responsible innovation in Asia. Adding to policy issues and digital transformation related to innovation, this special issue also aims to explore governance issues related to responsible innovation in Asia. Possible questions that this special issue intends to explore, but is not limited to, are:

  • Does responsible innovation in an organization in Asia require responsible leadership across all the levels and the functions to be responsive to the grand societal challenges? And, if so, what kind of leadership is required for responsible innovation in organization in Asian context?
  • How can an organization in Asia reinforce a shift in responsible thinking amongst the actors wherein they reflexively and proactively consider what not do to more responsibly, going beyond just focusing on what to do, especially when it comes to the design of processes and products?
  • How should an organization be organized in Asia to absorb creative tension between technically feasible and societally viable innovation? Should an organization in Asia provide guidelines and frameworks for deployment and use of innovatively designed processes and market offerings to minimize negative societal impacts? What should such guidelines and frameworks be in Asia?
  • How can an organization be organized to anticipate societal impacts and making tradeoffs between commercial interests and societal interests in Asia? What are some of the processes and practices that enable proactively and reflexively making such tradeoffs in Asia?
  • What characterizes responsible HR systems in organization in Asia context to attract, develop, sustain, and retain talented actors who crave for openness and responsible leadership within cultures of science and innovation, especially in a multi-generational workplace, whereby each generation has a different notion of what is responsible innovation?
  • What dynamic capabilities help an organization in Asia to adjust its course of actions in response to new knowledge in the field, emergent viewpoints, and norms, and rapidly changing external context?
  • What kind of leadership and organizational culture develop and sustain systematic thinking to increase resilience, to decipher new opportunities for responsible innovation in Asia and to shape schemas for socially robust risk research?
  • What makes a value-sensitive organization in Asia that encourages the culture of openness and transparency to serve the aim of responsible innovation?
  • What organizational culture frameworks inculcate and strengthen social, ethical and political stakes of the organization in Asia that accompany techno-scientific advances?
  • What organizational design promotes institutional reflexivity in the governance of science and innovation in Asia?
  • What techno-structural interventions should an organization in Asia engage in to preempt the detrimental consequences of new technologies and new processes on the people and the planet?
  • Which organizational design in Asia encourages and sustains continuous engagement with relevant stakeholders and even inclusion of “non-experts” on scientific advisory boards with a clear purpose to expand the inputs to and delivery of governance of science and innovation?


Submission Processes & Deadline:

  • The paper submission deadline is June 30, 2021.
  • All submission to undergo APJM’s standard reviews & revisions after initial scree by the Guest Editors.
