[csaa-forum] Half-Day Symposium: Inter-Asia Cultural Research Methods, Friday 12 September (Melbourne)

[Timothy Laurie]

A Half-Day Symposium
Inter-Asia Cultural Research Methods
Friday 12 September 2014
1-3pm, Linkway (4th Floor, John Medley Building)
The University of Melbourne, Parkville

Since the late 1990s, the Inter-Asia Cultural Studies project has emerged to become an intellectual movement and a transborder collective that attempts to contribute to the integration of an imagined Asia at the level of knowledge production. It formulates ‘Asia as method’ as an alternative approach to the West-oriented singularity in order to multiply frames of references and sites of identification. In this half-day symposium, leading scholars will discuss their involvement with the Inter-Asia Cultural Studies project, and showcase the ‘inter-Asia’ cultural research methods in their work.
