With this conference, the Center aims to promote research and academic discussion on issues related to Asian approaches to contemporary urban issues. This year we will be focusing on pressing issues of urbanization in 21st-century East Asia (China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan) and their implications for policy in the United States. Our goal is to cultivate a discussion across the Pacific region on these important matters that have deep ramifications for US policy makers and public welfare.

Proposed themes include:

  • carceral and penal policy
  • children and schooling
  • city diplomacy
  • commerce and tourism
  • crime and policing
  • drug policy
  • food
  • environmental issues
  • housing/homelessness
  • immigration
  • public health and hygiene
  • public transportation
  • race and ethnicity
  • waste management
All participants will be required to provide a draft of their conference paper at least 2 weeks prior to the conference (by Thurs., April 6, 2023) to allow discussants adequate time to prepare their comments. Papers must represent original work not already published or in press. Each presenter will have 25 minutes to present their work.

The Center will provide lodging and food for presenters during the duration of the conference. Participants are expected to cover the costs of their travel to and from the university. We have limited funds to assist a small number of participants with their airfare. Please indicate in your proposal if you are also applying for the travel grant to cover these costs.

Participants will be invited to submit their paper for consideration in the Center’s online, indexed, double-blind peer-reviewed academic journal, Asia Pacific Perspectives (ISSN: 2167-1699). Since its establishment in 2001, the journal has promoted cross-cultural understanding, tolerance, and the dissemination of knowledge about the Asia Pacific region. The journal is free and easily accessible on the web. For more information, visit this link.

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: 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: BTS (방탄소년단) A GLOBAL INTERDISCIPLINARY CONFERENCE PROJECT.


BTS (방탄소년단) A global interdisciplinary conference project
Kingston University


Korean boy group BTS are the first ever Korean act to perform at Wembley Stadium as part of their Love Yourself: Speak Yourself world tour. Debuting in 2013 under Big Hit Entertainment, BTS initially struggled to gain recognition in Korea as they didn’t come from one of the big three Korean entertainment companies. However, the last few years have seen BTS become the most internationally successful Korean act of all time, amassing not only domestic awards but prestigious US awards including The Best Duo/Group at the 2019 Billboard Music Awards. Their recent sold-out concerts at Wembley clearly delineate BTS as a dominant force in global music and within popular culture. This inclusive inter-and multi-disciplinary conference seeks to examine the success and popularity of BTS from a variety of academic, practice, and fan-based perspectives.
