CFP: Literature and Film in Neoliberal East Asia

A Forum Session at the next MLA convention in Chicago, January 3-6, 2019



In recent decades East Asian societies have felt the reach of neoliberalism
as a culture, a set of economic policies, and political agenda, which has
informed people's lives in various ways. This guaranteed panel for Modern
Language Association’s LLC East Asian Forum is an opportunity to present
works that discuss literature and film in neoliberal East Asia.



Some questions that papers might address through a study of East Asian
literary and cinematic texts include the following:



How does neoliberalism reshape and reorganize the socio-economy in such a
way as to produce new class systems? What are the most valuable assets for
individuals and for families in neoliberal societies and world order? Is
there a relationship between the surging of misogyny and neoliberal
politics? How does neoliberalism impact and control transnational
circulations of tangible and intangible things such as consumer products
and labor, knowledge and power, and popular cultures? How does
neoliberalism affect experiences of space, geography, and travel?



Please submit a 250-word maximum abstract in MS word format via email
attachment by March 15 to the session organizer Kelly Jeong.
kyjeong at ucr.edu  Abstracts will be selected by March 25. Presenters must be
current MLA members.
