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: SPIRITUALITY, HEALTHCARE AND SOCIAL MOVEMENTS IN EAST ASIA: A TRANSNATIONAL PERSPECTIVE 


Spirituality, Healthcare And Social Movements In East Asia:

A Transnational Perspective

Amerikahaus Munich, Germany, February 16–18, 2022


The international conference entitled The Ambiguous Semantics of “Reeducation” in Transnational and Transhistorical Perspective takes as its point of departure an examination of US-American reeducation policies in Germany and Japan after World War II from a comparative and transnational perspective. Organized by an interdisciplinary research consortium at FAU Erlangen-Nuernberg, it aims to broaden the focus beyond this specific geographical constellation and beyond the period of the immediate postwar. What does “reeducation” entail in different cultural and historical scenarios? Can we conceive of “critical reeducation studies” as an interdisciplinary field of study? What would such a field look like?

Accordingly, this conference is an occasion to problematize and discuss the concept of “reeducation” in a broader sense including a rigorous investigation of power differentials and a nuanced analysis of intercultural encounters in occupied territories as well as in colonial and postcolonial settings. “Reeducation,” viewed in this light, describes various, at times incommensurable, ideas, norms, and practices. The latter can include strategies of democratization, emancipation, and empowerment but also involve, more often than not, different forms of violence (both physical and epistemic) and the use of force in occupation settings in order to control an indigenous population. Hence, the ambiguous and changing semantics of “reeducation” will have to be discussed as they appear in different functional areas of society – as part of political communication, as mass media phenomena, as institutional creeds, and as programmatic rhetoric appropriated by different actors and groups in civil society and military and para-military institutions. Studying “reeducation” can shed light on multidirectional influences and ramifications as well as point to the overt or more subtle paradoxes that the prescribed or voluntarily enacted (un)learning processes may entail. The focus on processes indicates that “reeducation” in its different shapes and guises is itself often both a vehicle and a product of transitions.


We invite contributions to the conference which address the topics and guiding questions of one of the three suggested panels:

Panel 1: Colonization and Reeducation

This panel examines reeducation strategies in a diachronic perspective: it seeks to address the (often dark) pedagogy of “reeducation” (“top-down”) as part of agendas of colonization. This includes forms of internal colonization as well as measures taken in the context of territorial annexation and occupation by European, Asian, or US-American Empires. As a second aim, this panel has as an objective the validation of resistance to hegemonic regimes of (un)learning in these colonial or quasi-colonial scenarios (“bottom- up”), which range from manifestations of “colonial mimicry” (Bhabha) to open insurgence.

Panel 2: The Global Entanglements of Post-World War II “Reeducation”

This panel zooms in on the post-war as a particularly prominent moment of “reeducation” which can be identified on an almost global scale. The so-called allied occupation of Europe and East Asia after World War II produces very different settings in which “reeducation” can mean all of the following: punishment and punitive measures, societal reform, gender emancipation, the abolition of hierarchies as well as the erection of (new) hierarchies or the re-introduction of old ones, depending on the region and the occupational policy. Next to Germany and Japan, attention will be on other European and Asian countries, such as Italy and Korea.

Panel 3: “Reeducation” in Contemporary Postcolonial and Post-Conflict Settings

The aim of the final panel is to apply the framework of “comparative reeducation studies” to more contemporary sites and scenarios. The term “reeducation” has prominently re-emerged, for instance, in US policies concerning Afghanistan and Iraq (often also prompting comparison with post-war Germany and its ‘successful’ democratization) but it also appears in less optimistically inclined articulations of neo-colonial violence and control – and is used as thinly veiled propaganda. Today, as in previous decades and periods, the term “reeducation” cannot be severed from its complicity with specific ideologies and power structures. For this and other reasons, it calls for historical context and synchronic comparative work.


To apply, please send short proposals (500 words max.) and a one-page CV to jana.aresin@fau.de no later than September 1, 2021. Successful applicants will be notified by October 1, 2021.

Este segundo trimestre nos ha traído un gran número de publicaciones en Estudios Coreanos a través de las editoriales académicas más prestigiosas del mundo. Por ello, hemos hecho una nueva selección de investigaciones de ámbito internacional que ya están disponibles para su compra y a las que se puede acceder a través de nuestra última lista de novedades académicas del segundo trimestre de 2021:

CFP: JOURNAL OF EAST ASIAN PHILOSOPHY

Journal of East Asian Philosophy


Dear Colleagues,

We are inviting submissions to the newly launched journal, Journal of East Asian Philosophy from Springer. The deadline for the inaugural issue is February 28, 2021, with expected publication in June 2021. We accept original papers, translations, and book reviews in all areas of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean philosophical traditions. We especially welcome East Asia-West and Intra-East Asia comparative philosophical studies.

Editors: Yoshinobu Shino, Masato Goda, Yosuke Takehana, Yuko Ishihara


About the journal:

Unveils the philosophical potential of the three main East Asian philosophical traditions, namely, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, inclusively and comprehensively, which philosophize with Chinese characters in irreducibly diverse fashions.

Explores how East Asian philosophical tradition(s) receive and confront the Greek-origin term, philosophia, and create their own philosophical systems parallel to the European history of philosophy.

Fosters the dialogue among East Asian philosophical traditions, which remains under-developed. 

The aim of this journal is fourfold. First, it examines the reception of and confrontations with Western philosophy in East Asia. Secondly, it promotes the dialogue between various philosophical discourse and traditions in East Asia. Thirdly, it explores the potential of East Asian philosophy comprehensively. Fourthly, it attempts to articulate the history of East Asian philosophy. All time periods, themes, figures, texts, traditions and so on within and without East Asian philosophical contexts are welcome. Instead of confining East Asia to specific nations, languages, cultures, schools and so on, this journal perceives East Asia as a transnational and transcultural concept. East Asian philosophy, therefore, is a dynamic philosophical consortium that intercepts with philosophical texts, figures, concepts and traditions by trespassing cultural essentialism and national. East Asia-West and Intra-East Asia comparative philosophical studies are particularly welcome.

CFP: III ENCUENTRO IBEROAMERICANO DE ESTUDIOS COREANOS: NUEVOS PARADIGMAS EN LA JUVENTUD COREANA




La Universidad de Málaga se complace en anunciar la aceptación de abstracts para la participación en el “III Encuentro Iberoamericano de Estudios Coreanos: Nuevos Paradigmas en la Juventud Coreana" y que se celebrará del día 28 al 29 de Marzo de 2019.

La globalización e internacionalización han dejado un fuerte impacto en la sociedad coreana. A pesar de ser procesos con una larga historia, se han articulado bajo dichos términos parte del discurso político reciente de Corea del Sur. La presente conferencia quiere considerar los efectos que la globalización y la internacionalización han tenido en la nueva articulación de la educación y las identidades culturales entre los jóvenes coreanos, a la vez que analiza también las estrategias de localización que las han hecho posibles. Específicamente, quiere considerar los efectos de la movilidad transnacional en la articulación y rearticulación de identidades colectivas y culturales entre los jóvenes coreanos.
