<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">What is East Asia? From ideological construct to physical and material reality, East Asia is still a contested territory, marked by the discourse of “Asian ascendancy” in the midst
of new forms of conflict and contradiction, ranging from territorial disputes to economic tensions and historical revisionism. By questioning what constitutes East Asia today in a world of shifting boundaries, this conference for junior scholars seeks new
approaches to understand the region and new methods to conduct area studies. Attending to flows, connections, travels and interactions that dismantle the understanding of East Asian studies as a bounded entity, the conference invites papers that critically
discuss East Asia from multiple disciplinary perspectives. The questions our conference seeks to engage include, but are not limited to, three major thematic areas:</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><i><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Theme 1: Culture</span></i><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Cultural productions have always played a major role in the East Asian imaginary, variously constructed through the lens of memory, identity, and belonging. What are the roles of texts,
images and practices in imagining East Asia? How do cultural productions reinforce or challenge nationalist discourses? What are alternative forms of cultural productions that reimagine national and regional boundaries?
</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><i><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Theme 2: Knowledge</span></i><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Research interests abound in knowledge production, exchanges, and flows within East Asia and beyond. How has knowledge about East Asia been constructed in specific historical contexts?
What are the roles of various actors, ranging from states and academics to international agencies? How has such knowledge contributed to the shape and content of East Asian society?
</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><i><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Theme 3: Space</span></i><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">East Asia can also be examined as a space produced through transnational flows of ideas, materials, and practices. What are cross-boundary inquiries that destabilize categories and
narratives about East Asia as a fixed spatial entity? Some examples of topics to be explored are interconnections between imperialism, nationalism, and globalization that have shaped and reshaped East Asia.</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
