[KS] Int. Conference on "Contents Business and Shared Cultural Assets in East Asia"

[Sun-ju Choi]

Dear colleagues, 
we cordially invite you to the international conference "Contents Business and Shared Cultural Assets in East Asia", which will be held on December 3-5, 2010 at the University of Bonn. 

Information and communication technologies have made phenomenal advances during the past decades. These current developments accelerate the transmitting of "contents" across countries so that national and cultural boundaries seem to become more blurred. The conference aims to explore what influences the cultural and economical interactions of "contents" have on the construction of the "East Asian Community". 

The Conference is supported by the Japan Foundation and organized by the Department of Japanese and Korean Studies, University of Bonn. The conference venue is the 'Hall of the Senate (Senatssaal)' in the main building of the University, Regina-Pacis-Weg 3, 53113 Bonn, Germany. The conference will be held in English and the proceedings will be published by the end of March, 2011. Through our research and the conference, we aim at developing a new interdisciplinary approach to Asian Studies. Participation is free, but please register at nishiyama at uni-bonn.de. We are looking forward to welcoming you at the conference in Bonn. 

Sincerely,
Dr. Takahiro Nishiyama, Dr. Shiro Yukawa, Sun-ju Choi
