<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Re-Worlding Chinese Transnationalisms Symposium</span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Online, August 26 – August 27 2021</span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">In the final decade of the twentieth century, along with intensifying cross-border movements of capital, people, and media attendant on the rise of the Asia-Pacific regional economy, Chinese transnationalism
became a focus of study across a range of disciplines. Researchers addressed evolving phenomena including the geographies and politics of Chinese migration and diasporas; the transnationalization of Chinese families, religions, business, and education; the
rise of Chinese Internet worlds; the histories of transnational Chinese cinema and transnational imaginaries in contemporary Chinese-language media; and the characteristics of a transnational Sinophone cultural sphere that was understood as both peripheral
to and divergent from the type of Chinese identity promoted by the PRC state.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Twenty-five years after the emergence of the conceptual rubric of Chinese transnationalism, the human and cultural mobilities that inspired it have both intensified and transformed as the economic, political,
and military “rise of China” decisively reshapes global geopolitics. The time is ripe to revisit the cultural politics of Chinese transnationalisms. What forms do transnational movements of Chinese media, people and culture take in today’s world? How are these
mobilities transformed by the growing global power of the PRC? What does it mean to think, live, feel, and imagine Chinese transnationalisms in the context of President Xi’s promotion of the “Chinese dream,” economists’ recognition of the present time as the
“Chinese century,” and unease about “Chinese influence” on the part of western governments, security agencies, and media? <i>Re-Worlding Chinese Transnationalisms</i> will address these questions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The <i>Re-Worlding Chinese Transnationalisms</i> Symposium will run online over two full days, 26th August – 27th August. It will take the form of a small, focussed, highly interactive research workshop rather
than a conventional conference, with discussants assigned and papers pre-circulated to attendants.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">In attendance will be two of the world’s leading figures in the study of Chinese transnationalism: <b>Pun Ngai</b>, Professor at Department of Sociology, The University of Hong Kong, and <b>Pál Nyíri</b>,
Professor of Global History from an Anthropological Perspective, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Professors Pun and Nyíri will present keynote lectures open to the public (please note that registration is essential).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
