The Department of Asian and North African Studies at Ca' Foscari University
of Venice invites applicants for the First International Conference of
“East and West in Korean Studies” Project to be held at Ca’ Foscari
University from May 7th to 8th, 2021.



The focus of this conference is on cultural exchanges and historical
encounters between Korea and the West in premodern and modern times in the
form of cultural artifacts and intangible heritage.  It endeavors to find
the various points of contacts and exchanges throughout the centuries that
have contributed to the shaping of the history and culture of Korea, as
well as examining the role of Korea at the crossroads of these exchanges.


The conference aims to promote interdisciplinary approaches and dialogue
within transnational perspectives between scholars from various fields such
as heritage studies, history of art, archaeology, religious studies, museum
studies, and Silk Road studies etc.  Since “cultural heritage” includes
tangible as well as intangible heritage, proposals may focus on various
research methodologies such as analysis of material remains, historical
materials, cultural heritage practices, transmission of ideas, skills and
techniques.



The conference organizers are calling for submissions on a range of
subjects that may include, but are not limited to:



-Cross-cultural and historical interactions between Korea and the West

-Circulation of objects, dissemination of knowledge and artistic modes

-Korean art objects in Western museum collections and vice versa

-Architectural heritage during the colonial period

-Heritage policy and management

-Cultural heritage restitution and diplomacy

-Contested and negative heritage
