CFP - Architectures of Mobility: Structures, Circuits, Deformations
Architectures of Mobility: Structures, Circuits, Deformations
Call for Papers 3rd Annual Transnational Asia Graduate Student Conference
February 10-11, 2012
Rice University Chao Center for Asian Studies Keynote: Dr. Nayan Shah, Department of History, UC San Diego
Deadline: Please send abstracts of 250-300 words to transnationalasia@gmail.com by November 28, 2011
Contemporary figurations of the transnational often invoke a language of flows and frictions to describe the increasingly ambiguous role of nation-states and their boundaries in the movement of goods, persons, and ideas. Without abandoning this view altogether, this conference invites participants to move beyond it in order to investigate the dynamics which have led to its promulgation--both as dominant metaphor in the thought of many scholars studying Asia and as lived analytic for individuals making sense of their vertiginous contemporaries and their legacies.

Please circulate freely.
