Cfp, ‘Constructions of Race and Racism in East Asia: East-West Perspectives’
In that project, about half of the participants surveyed and examined the roots of racial constructions of East Asians (principally, Chinese, Japanese and Koreans)
in the West and their manifestations during the last 150 years, whereas the other half focused upon the characteristics of local racial constructions and indigenous racism in modern East Asia, with particular attention to the manifestations of racial thought and racism as the result of the ethnic encounter during Japanese colonialism.During the coming conference, we would like to examine the following topics in the context of East Asia:
* Sources of modern racism – the interplay between indigenous and foreign perspectives
* The link between nationalism and racism
* Racial theories in a transnational perspective
* The impact of racial thought on mutual images
* Gender and racial thoughtWe welcome submissions that deal with these issues and similar questions from scholars working within history, anthropology, literature, linguistics, cultural studies, political science and related disciplines. The organizers plan to create an edited volume out of the conference papers.
as a Word attachment to the organizers by 25 February 2012. Successful participants will be informed by late March 2012 and will be expected
