I would appreciate it if you could circulate this CFP to the list members. Best, Ben Han The Global-Local Friction in Korean Media and Popular Culture in the Age of Artificial Intelligence April 2-3, 2027 Institute for Korean Studies Indiana University Bloomington Global-local entanglements are shaping the transnational flow of Korean media and popular culture. Many scholars have examined the tension between the global and the local in Korean media through the lenses of hybridity, transnational proximity, and hegemonic mimicry. These theoretical concepts have explored the complex and often ambivalent interactions between global and local forces within Korean media and popular culture. Rather than exploring the global and the local in Korean media and popular culture through existing theoretical frameworks, this conference seeks to examine global-local interactions as friction. Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing’s (2005, 4) concept of friction, which she defines as “the awkward, unequal, unstable, and creative qualities of interconnection across difference,” enables us to investigate how “cultures are not only continuously co-produced in the interactions in the form of friction.” Drawing on interdisciplinary methodologies in Korean media and popular culture, this conference aims to explore how Korean cinema, television, music, and digital media reveal complex and dynamic forms of friction, such as genre syncretism, racial and ethnic difference, melodrama and gender, and artificial intelligence. These diverse forms of friction not only enable the formation of global connections but also reflect the intricate processes of cultural negotiation and interaction that occur at the levels of texts, performances, and digital practices. Additionally, the purpose of the conference is to analyze myriad forms of friction in Korean media and popular culture through different methodological frameworks, including genre and textual analysis, platform studies, and fandom studies. By investigating diverse forms of friction in Korean media and pop culture, the conference will address how we might reimagine the global-local entanglements beyond reductive binaries such as universalism vs. specificity, homogeneity vs. heterogeneity, West vs. East, and real vs. artificial. In doing so, the conference will explore how the study of friction within global connections is shaped by complex interactions and negotiations of genre, platforms, and affective sentiments. This two-day conference, supported by the Center for International Affairs (CEFIA) of the Academy of Korean Studies, will bring together junior and senior scholars working in Korean media and popular culture studies across various disciplinary fields. The conference will provide an opportunity for scholars to network, exchange ideas, and receive meaningful feedback on their research projects. Deadline: Please send a 300-word abstract and a 150-word biography to Benjamin Han at benhan at iu.edu. The abstract submission deadline is October 31, 2026. Accepted abstracts will be notified at the end of November. Abstracts from junior scholars are especially welcome. Presenters will be required to submit a full manuscript of their paper prior to the conference. Submitted papers will be considered for publication in a special issue of a peer-reviewed journal or an edited volume. Conference Support: Due to limited funding, we will only be able to fully fund airfare for scholars based in North America. All conference presents will be provided with airfare, accommodation, and transportation from Indianapolis International Airport to Indiana University Bloomington.

Registration is required. In this talk, I Jonathan Kief introduces his new book, "Triangle Republics: Cross-Border Literary Transits between the Cold War Koreas and Japan" (Columbia UP, 2025), which follows the multi-directional itineraries of literary exchange linking Cold War-era North Korea, South Korea, and Japan. Although the two postcolonial Koreas are typically seen as isolated from each other, Triangle Republics demonstrates that texts continued to circulate between them with the assistance of an array of colleagues in Japan. Highlighting the creative ways in which poets, playwrights, novelists, critics, and academics in these three locations crossed boundaries of language, ideology, and genre, the book offers a new perspective on this era that emphasizes its vibrant, dynamic, and interconnected nature. I Jonathan Kief is Associate Professor of Korean Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he also serves as Associate Chair and Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies. He is a scholar of modern Korean literature and culture whose research explores the movement of words, sounds, and ideas across the spatial, ideological, and media boundaries of the Cold War era. His first book, Triangle Republics (Columbia UP), was published in 2025.

Jonathan Kief (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill). *Triangle Republics* is a groundbreaking contribution to literary studies of Korea and beyond, one that turns the production and circulation of texts into the occasion for rethinking the impact of the Cold War on the Korean peninsula and its diaspora. Upending the conventional view of the Korean division as one of separation and antagonism between two diametrically opposed and mutually exclusive cultural spheres, the book reveals how North and South Korean literature surreptitiously formed and transformed each other through the Korean diaspora in Japan. Following the circuit of Korean texts via Japan from 1945 until the 1980s, Kief uncovers the creative ways that writers, critics, and intellectuals crossed the boundaries of nation, language, ideology, and genre to challenge Cold War entrenchments. This required tracking not only Korean language texts, but also Japanese language ones, often published in obscure journals, painstakingly gathered from multiple archives through rigorous research employing cross-disciplinary tools and methods. The result is a work that changes not only what we know about Cold War Korean literature, but also how we might write cultural and intellectual history when the nation-state is no longer assumed to be its natural container. An award ceremony celebrating Professor Kief’s achievement will be held at UC Berkeley on Thursday, March 4, 2027. Established in 2022 to honor Berkeley Political Science Professor and longtime CKS Chair Hong Yung Lee (1939-2017), each year this award and its $10,000 prize recognizes a groundbreaking, English-language academic monograph that advances Korean Studies by combining scholarly merit, research prowess, and methodological innovation. The award recognizes Professor Lee's enduring influence on Korean Studies, but also commitment to situating the field in a broad intellectual landscape. The Center for Korean Studies at UC Berkeley is deeply grateful to all of the authors and publishers who participated in this year’s competition. We would also like to thank Berkeley’s Korean Studies faculty for participating in the first-round selection process; and especially this year’s external second-round review committee: Suzy Kim (Rutgers), Sujung Kim (Hopkins), and Youngju Ryu (Michigan). We will soon make a separate announcement about next year’s competition, which will be open to Korean Studies monographs published in 2025 and 2026. ~~~ *Kelsey R.

She explores how cultural understandings of police legitimacy, knowledge of the auxiliary police system, and collective memories of past repression helped shape cooperation between protesters and law enforcement. *About the Speaker* Dr. Junghyun Nam is an adjunct faculty member in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology and a research affiliate at the Movement Engaged Hub, both at George Mason University. She is currently working on a book project that examines the emergence of civility as a normative-regulatory system and its influence on boundary-work within protest events. She is also coordinating a collaborative working paper project on data center development and community resistance in the United States. Her work has been published in Mobilization: An International Quarterly. The Korean Studies Research Network (KoRN) aims to bring together scholars whose research focuses on Korea-related topics and to provide mentoring to emerging scholars. It serves as a platform for collaborative and interdisciplinary research among scholars and graduate students at the University of Iowa and other institutions across the Midwest through seminars, speaker series, and workshops. This event is made possible through generous support from International Programs and The Stanley-University of Iowa Foundation Support Organization at the University of Iowa. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Please note the following hybrid event organised by Monash University Korean Studies Research Hub. Many thanks, Sandy ____________ Monash University Korean Studies Research Hub presents the 2027 Korean Studies Research Session for Teaching and Technology: “How I AI” Short talks on how we use AI in our teaching and research Monash University, Clayton Campus (hybrid in-person and online), room TBA Tuesday 23rd February 2027, 1-5pm We invite registrations for How I AI, a half-day workshop hosted by the Monash University Korean Studies Research Hub (MUKSRH). The event will provide an informal forum for colleagues to share the different ways they are using AI in their research, teaching, administration, and other aspects of their academic work. The event is open to staff and students in any discipline at Monash, as well as Korean Studies researchers across Australia who can join via Zoom. Rather than conventional conference presentations, How I AI will feature short, informal show-and-tell talks of around 5–10 minutes focused on the use of AI in teaching and research. Contributions might demonstrate innovative approaches to incorporating AI in learning activities and assessments, ways to use AI to design teaching activities, or showing how AI is being used to support research processes such as data analysis, literature review or writing. The aim is to share practical ideas, approaches and experiences, and to spark discussion about the possibilities and challenges of using AI in Korean Studies and beyond. We welcome contributions from colleagues at all stages of their experience with AI. You might be an enthusiastic adopter, a cautious experimenter, or somewhere in between. You don't need to be an AI expert: if you've found a useful way of doing something with AI, we'd love to hear about it. The event will be held in hybrid mode. Each contribution will be approximately 5–10 minutes, and there will also be time for discussion and questions. We particularly encourage contributors to show rather than tell where possible, for example, by demonstrating a tool, workflow, prompt, or example of AI-generated output. To register, please submit the form linked here . We encourage all registrants to consider contributing a short talk (5-10 minutes), but this is not required. The form asks for the following information: - Name - Affiliation - Title of contribution - Two-sentence description of the contribution - Preferred mode of attendance (in-person; online)* *Note that online participation is primarily designed for those joining from out of state. Participants in the Melbourne area are generally expected to attend in person. Registration closes on 30th October 2026. _______________________ Kind Regards, Sandy Nguyen *MUKSRH Coordinator* Website: Monash Korean Studies Research Hub Facebook: MonashUniKorean Twitter: @MonashUniKorean -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In addition to one review essay and three book reviews, the Fall issue features six research articles: Two studies reexamine hierarchies in the past: one shows how Joseon women of all classes shaped commerce in official and periodic markets, where status, gender regulations, and the commodity economy intersected. The other replaces a Tokyo-versus-Government-General model of Japanese colonial rule with an account of competing imperial institutions and strategies. Two articles question dominant frameworks of value and expertise: one links premodern copy-makers and craftsmen with the 1990s Art Tech Group through a model of art that joins creation, skill, material practice, and collective knowledge. The other shows how Dorothea Sich's work in 1970s rural South Korea challenged Western-centered development by emphasizing medical pluralism and local health practices. The issue also examines the New Right, whose late-1980s origins reveal a failed attempt to break convincingly with the old conservative establishment, and the role of Vietnamese religious practices in Vietnam War fiction by Bảo Ninh, Tim O'Brien, and Hwang Sok-yong, who use them to expose war's violence, mourn its victims, and challenge the ideologies that justify it. All articles are published under a CC-BY-ND license and are freely available to read, download, and share, with proper attribution to the authors and Korea Journal.

Thank you so much for your help! Namhee Fostering Korean Studies is possible by drawing the attention of colleagues with adequate research interests and qualifications (modern Korean history, ideally with a view on its interconnectedness with China) to the following job advertisement (or by answering to it yourself, if you feel qualified). Please note that the deadline is already next week! You can also help by posting this on the bulletin boards (physical and/or digital) in your department (perhaps highlighting the deadline as well as the Korean Studies part as I have done here). If you happen to have a Chinese Studies background with documented linguistic and research skills in Korean and Korean history, you are also welcome to apply. As will become clear from the advertisement and our name (Center of Asian and Transcultural Studies, CATS) we generally value a *transcultural* perspective. For this, it is imperative that we strengthen our Korean expertise. So we hope for your support, if you value either Korean Studies globally or us (or both). With best regards, Enno Giele *https://adb.zuv.uni-heidelberg.de/info/INFO_FDB$.startup?MODUL=LS&SESSID=0&M1=1&M2=0&M3=0&PRO=40092* *English version:* The Center for East Asian Studies at Heidelberg University invites applications for a *Professorship** in “Culture and History of China in the Context of East Asia - with a **focus on Korea**” (f/m/d)* Full Professorship (W3) or Tenure Track Professorship (W1 to W3) to be filled as early as possible. Candidates are expected to represent the field of Sinology with a focus on modern history and China’s interconnectedness with East Asia—particularly with the states and cultures on the Korean Peninsula. Research and teaching should center on historically informed examinations of East Asian dynamics, which have been significantly shaped by China. Methodologically, the position requires an empirical foundation and culturally sensitive analysis of source materials in the original languages (Chinese and Korean) regarding Sino-Korean exchange relations. Successful candidates should possess an international reputation and established networks in the fields of Sinology and/or Korean Studies, evidenced by a strong publication record and a proven track record in securing external funding. In addition, we expect applicants to be willing to participate actively in interdisciplinary collaborative research projects. Applicants will be evaluated according to their career status and in consideration of their individual career paths. This determines whether the position will be filled at salary grade W3 or W1 (junior professorship with a tenure track to W3). In accordance with Article 51 and 51b Higher Education Act of the state Baden-Württemberg, the appointment to a tenure track professorship (W1) requires a completed degree, an excellent doctorate, and pedagogical aptitude which has generally been proven through teaching experience. If you spent time employed as a research assistant (before or after your doctorate), this employment and the period of your doctoral studies combined should not exceed six years. The Tenure Track Professorship (junior professorship, salary grade W1) will usually be limited to six years and, following a positive tenure evaluation, will be converted to a permanent full professorship (salary grade W3). The provisions of the evaluation statutes for junior professorships apply *www.uni-heidelberg.de/en/research/support-for-early-career-researchers/career-paths-following-a-doctorate/tenure-track-professors-and-junior-professors* . The appointment to a full professorship (W3) additionally requires a Habilitation, a successfully evaluated junior professorship or equivalent qualifications (Article 47 (2), Higher Education Act). The application deadline is *October 16, 2026*. Please send your application—consolidated into a single PDF file—containing your CV, academic background, an outline of current and planned research, a list of publications and teaching experience, and a teaching statement to the Dean of the Faculty of Philosophy, Heidelberg University, Voßstr. 2 , Gebäude 37, 69115 Heidelberg, E-mail: *philosophische.fakultaet at uni-heidelberg.de* Heidelberg University stands for equal opportunities and diversity. Qualified female candidates are especially invited to apply. Persons with severe disabilities will be given preference if they are equally qualified.

Dear colleagues, I am a senior research fellow at STEPI in Seoul and serve on the editorial board of the Global Issue Brief, a review journal of the National Research Council for Economics, Humanities and Social Sciences (NRC), the umbrella body for Korea's 26 government-funded policy research institutes. We are preparing a special issue, "Why/How Korea?", for December 2026 or January 2027. Its premise is that Korea's success and its discontents grew from the same root: the institutions behind compressed growth also produced the world's lowest fertility rate, a deeply dual labour market, and a population that rates its own life far below what outsiders expect. Fifteen review essays, each framed as a Why/How question, will examine both sides. The current list, in brief: Part 1, Success: manufacturing and new industries together; world-leading human capital; fast, affordable infrastructure; rapid adoption of advanced institutions; growth despite resource and geopolitical constraints; a non-Western culture entering the global mainstream. Part 2, Discontents: the persistent dual labour market; unhappiness amid outside praise; reliance on penal measures for social problems; a weak security strategy relative to economic stature; institutions that change faster than behaviour. Part 3, Lessons: is compressed growth replicable; how Korea escaped the middle-income trap and at what cost; what developing countries should emulate and avoid. My request: tell me, in one or two sentences beginning with "Why" or "How", the question about Korea you most want answered, whether from this list or your own. The questions we receive will open the issue as "The questions the world is asking about Korea", with credit to contributors unless you prefer otherwise. Please reply off-list to kskwan at stepi.re.kr. A full outline is available on request.

This year's conference marks a major milestone, celebrating a decade of collaborative research, scholarly dialogue, and institutional growth in European social science perspectives on contemporary Korea. Since its inception, SoKEN has served as a vital interdisciplinary platform for critical inquiry into the social, political, and cultural dynamics shaping the Korean Peninsula. *Conference Theme* As we reflect on ten years of vibrant academic community-building, the 10th-anniversary conference offers an opportunity to commemorate our shared progress and a forum for confronting some of the most pressing socio-political phenomena of our time. Under the central theme "Shadows of Suspicion in Contemporary Korea: Politics, Media, and Everyday Discourse," SoKEN 2027 invites scholars from around the globe to critically examine how conspiracy narratives, digital media ecosystems, and institutional mistrust intersect with the fabric of everyday life in contemporary Korea. *Scope and Topics* While the primary thematic focus of this milestone 10th-anniversary conference is on how conspiracy theories, disinformation, and narrative mistrust manifest across South Korean politics, digital media ecosystems, and everyday socio-cultural interactions, submissions are not limited to this central theme. We also welcome submissions of research papers that compare cases between Europe and South Korea, as well as between South Korea and other East Asian countries. We strongly encourage and welcome panel and paper proposals on any social science topic related to contemporary Korean society, including sociology, political science, anthropology, communication, media studies, economics, and international relations. *Eligibility* The conference warmly welcomes submissions from young scholars, PhD students, and established academics. It does not provide visa support. Participants are responsible for arranging their own travel documents. *Funding Support* Participants whose papers are accepted will be offered up to two nights' accommodation in Turku. In addition, modest travel funding may be available, subject to budget availability. *Panel Guidelines* - *Panel Priority:* Panel organisation receives priority consideration for acceptance. - *Panel Composition:* Each panel is strictly limited to a *maximum of 4 members* (presenters). *Submission Guidelines* 1.

In this session, Peter Shapinsky (Professor, University of Illinois) will share his thoughts on the first waves of Waegu piracy in East Asia: In this presentation I offer some initial thoughts about debates surrounding the so-called first wave of Waegu, Japanese pirates that laid waste to Koryŏ Korea and raided late Yuan and early Ming China between 1350 and 1420. I address debates about the bases, organization, and scale of the Waegu by exploring possible connections between the piracy and “solidarities” (ikki) of Kyushu. A horizontal form of local organization, Ikki comprised villages, allied military families, or a single lineage based in specific locales. Ikki codified collective decision-making through ritual oath-taking to protect or enhance the economic and territorial privileges of members; they mediated conflict resolution and negotiations with overlords. Solidarities flourished during Japan’s long civil war of 1336-1392 in which warlords backed competing imperial claimants and sought to establish hegemony over the archipelago. Ikki proved useful to warlords to harness local support for military campaigns that crisscrossed Kyushu and its sea-lanes, opening potential avenues for raids across the seas. This civil war thus fueled the fourteenth-century wave of piracy, whose participants hailed from Tsushima, Iki, and the northern Kyushu region known as Matsura. Many of the Iki and Matsura participants drew from several solidarities of Kyushu enmeshed in the civil war. Although often described in EuroAmerican scholarship as ephemeral organizations that succumbed to hierarchical warrior lordship, many of the solidarities of Kyushu villages and warriors proved durable politically, judicially, and militarily.

This book seeks to address a fundamental question: “How did Korean cattle become a resource of the Japanese empire?” Covering the period from the 1890s to the 1910s, it examines the distribution, quarantine, and military use of Korean cattle from the perspective of resource history, shedding light not only on the involvement of commercial capital and state power but also on the everyday activities and responses of Korean farmers.   This is a complete Korean translation of 帝國日本と朝鮮牛: 畜産資源の確保と植民地化 (Imperial Japan and Korean Cattle: Securing Livestock Resources and Colonization), originally published in Japan by Koyo Shobo in 2023. It is part of the AKS Translation Series. In particular, this Korean edition makes a pioneering study of Korean cattle as a resource accessible to a wider range of scholars and readers. We expect it to be utilized in various fields, including colonial economic history, the history of East Asian exchange, and regional studies linking Korea with western Japan, such as Yamaguchi and Hiroshima Prefectures.   Sincerely, Wonki Kim AKS Press   Book Information (Korean Edition) · Title: 제국 일본과 조선 소(朝鮮牛) [Imperial Japan and Korean Cattle] · Published date: 07/30/2026 · Page: 320 · ISBN: 979-11-5866-870-9 · Price: KRW 22,000 · Language: Korean   Author: JANG Yoongoal Assistant Professor, Fukuoka Prefectural University Translators: Tanaka Misato, Kim Yu-bi Tanaka Misato – Assistant Professor, Faculty of Global and Regional Studies, Toyo University Kim Yu-bi – Project Researcher, Center for Korean Studies, Institute for Advanced Global Studies, Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, The University of Tokyo   Contents Preface to the Korean Edition INTRODUCTION.

Starting on Friday, 10/23 (LA time), there will be a hybrid, two-day Conference at UCLA. The title is: *1948 As Conjuncture: Revolution, Managed Decolonization, and World-Making in Asia-Pacific * It will feature presentations by academics and activists. Many of the presentations will be in English. Translators will be on hand. For the conference program, click on the UCLA CKS link below. The Zoom link appears below that. Henry *1948 As Conjuncture: Revolution, Managed Decolonization, and World-Making in Asia-Pacific * Two-Day Conference at UCLA Oct. 23-24 in Room 10383, Bunche Hall, UCLA. This two-day conference is organized around the proposition that 1948 was a decisive global conjuncture, a moment when revolutionary aspirations, decolonization, imperial transitions, and the emerging Cold War converged to shape institutions and perspectives that endure today. Developments in the Asia-Pacific and the United States were central to the making of the past-1945 international order. By situating these histories within a wider global moment, the conference asks how seemingly distinct developments might be understood as interconnected. These include political violence in Greece, southern Korea, and the Philippines; the partitions of India, Korea, and Palestine; military occupation in Japan and the US military government in southern Korea; and the displacement and migration of peoples that accompanied these upheavals. At a time when the postwar international order faces mounting crises and shifting geopolitical alignments, revisiting 1948 allows us to understand better the unfinished histories of decolonization and the legacies of empire, and to reimagine emancipatory possibilities foreclosed by partition, managed decolonization, and competing hegemonic projects.

The inaugural volume of the *Cinemas of Asia* series, this book offers a fresh perspective on South Korean director Lee Kwang-mo’s 1998 film *Spring in My Hometown* (아름다운 시절). Written and directed by Lee, the intensely personal film tells the story of his grandfather’s relationship with his ten-year-old father during the Korean War. This volume examines the industrial context in which Lee attempted to bring his film into production, the cinematic cycle from which it emerged, and the unique style that captivated festival juries but divided audiences. Jackson’s book offers a rare, historical insight into an important Asian cinematic industry on the verge of commercial transformation at the end of the last century. Readers worldwide can read the open-access edition on Fulcrum . Those interested in purchasing hard copies can pre-order and purchase them through the distributor , as well as wherever books are sold. Readers can learn more about the book and also find both of those links on the book's webpage . *Cinemas of Asia* is the first series dedicated to the cinemas of South, Southeast, East, Central Asia, and global Asian diasporas. Each volume provides a critical analysis and interpretation of a notable film from Asian cinema and consists of thematic chapters, accessible writing, and screenshots and illustrations. Authors analyze each film from a variety of angles, including film, literary, historical, gender, post-/decolonial studies, and each volume is accessibly written, informative, and appeals to academics, students, cinephiles, and non-experts alike. If anyone is interested in pitching a proposal to the series, please contact me at: Andy.jackson at monash.edu. Please download a copy! Thanks.

URL: From J.Mackay at euc.ac.cy Sun Oct 25 12:04:30 2026 From: J.Mackay at euc.ac.cy (James Mackay) Date: Sun, 25 Oct 2026 16:04:30 +0000 Subject: [KS] CFP: Byung-Chul Han and Contemporary Culture In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Byung-Chul Han and Contemporary Culture Online symposium · 19 March 2027 https://byungchulhanstudies.org/call-for-papers/ Deadline for abstracts: Monday 18 January 2027 Korean-German philosopher Byung-Chul Han’s slim volumes of philosophy now circulate widely in English, with more than twenty books translated since 2015. These books offer a cosmopolitan account of a digital age in which technology allows power to seduce rather than repress, and in which contemplation and even idleness become essential for the survival of love and community. His accounts of burnout, transparency, psychopolitics, the “infocracy,” the disappearance of ritual and of things, the loss or expulsion of the other, the necessity of shared time, and the crisis of narration have also travelled far beyond academic philosophy. Yet within English-language critical theory his work, which seems to have a high degree of relevance to contemporary cultural objects and movements, has received comparatively little sustained application. The immediate aim of this symposium, then, is to put Han’s concepts to work as diagnostic tools: our focus is less on his philosophy in the abstract than on what it can do when brought to bear on specific cultural objects, texts and practices. Here we follow Deleuze’s remark that a theory “is exactly like a box of tools… It must be useful. It must function,” and indeed Han’s own pronouncement in The Agony of Eros that theory is “an essential decision that causes the world to appear […] in a wholly different light.” We welcome contributions from across the humanities and social sciences, including literary studies (print and digital), cultural studies, media and communication studies, film and television, games studies, theology, visual culture and art history, design, and more. Papers will as standard be 15 minutes, though we are prepared to be flexible in terms of length and format. We are delighted that Professor Steven Knepper will be the keynote speaker for this symposium. Professor Knepper is, among his other achievements, co-author of Byung-Chul Han (Polity, 2024), the only full-length critical introduction to Han’s work. Depending on the number and quality of responses, and the range of subjects covered, the aim is for this symposium to result in publication, either a focused journal special issue or a broader collection of essays with a university press. Scholars at any stage of their career are very welcome to submit. Possible topics Possible topics include, but are not limited to: * Burnout and the achievement-subject in fiction, film, art or games * Psychopolitics and the shaping of subjectivity by platforms, apps or other technologies of mediation * Storyselling in social media influencer personae, autofiction, and other forms of self-presentation * Counterexamples: digital practices that sustain ritual, contemplation and/or community * The Crisis of Narration applied to fiction, journalism or online culture * The shitstorm/swarm as mode of digital communication * Non-things: smartphones, digital artworks, e-books, Instapoems, text on screen more broadly * The aesthetics of the smooth in art and design * Generative AI and cultural production as technology of control (Infocracy, Non-Things) * Datafication’s assault on subjectivity * The defence of love/eros in the achievement society * Ritual and play as cultural practices under pressure * Boredom, contemplation and the vita contemplativa as manifested in cultural objects * Shanzhai: copying and translation in globalised culture * Han as a writer – essayistic form, brevity and/or readability as tactic How to submit Please send the following to j.mackay at euc.ac.cy by Monday 18 January 2027: * an abstract of 250–300 words, including the title * a brief bio-note of no more than 100 words Papers should be given in English.

The conference, titled “*Transpacific Lives in an American Century: Ilhan New as Method*,” will bring together scholars to examine New’s life and its broader implications for understanding Korean, American, and Asian American histories. Born in Pyongyang, educated in the American Midwest, and later a pioneering entrepreneur and philanthropist in Korea, Ilhan New traversed national and cultural boundaries throughout his life. Moving beyond the biography of an extraordinary individual, the conference will use New’s life as a lens through which to explore transnational histories of migration, business, religion, nationalism, public health, and the Korean diaspora. We invite colleagues across the Korean Studies community to join us online for two days of engaging presentations and scholarly exchange. *Register to join online here*: https://myumi.ch/NXbNq *The full panel schedule is also available on our webpage*: https://ii.umich.edu/ncks/news-events/events/conferences---symposia/perspectives-on-contemporary-korea/pck-2026.html -- ----- Suite 400 Weiser Hall | 500 Church St. Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1042 *T* 734.764.1825 | *F* 734.936.2948 | www.ii.umich.edu/ncks -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
