The Topic:
This new millennium foresees the coming of New Asia-Pacific era. The word ‘Paradigm shift’
has been long talked about and heard. In relation to the concept of ‘old’ Asia, how do we, then,
re-construct Asian-ness(es) as we see us and as others see us in this new age?
How do tradition, modernity and post-modernity intersect with Asian-ness(es) in all their different
levels and configurations? How are such cross-cultural convergences and differences translated into theatre and performance in theory and practice as well as in theatre education?
Relatively speaking, whereas in the West, tradition, modernity and post-modernity have developed sequentially, for many Asian countries including Korea these different socio-cultural phases
seem to happen and co-exist simultaneously. After all, for many Asian countries, modernity
and post-modernity are Western cultural ideologies, which began to be introduced around the beginning of the 20th century and the post World War II period respectively.
The accommodation of these different cultural ideologies within Asian societies coevally
has prompted multiple and complex cultural encounters and clashes within different sectors
of the respective societies.
The IFTR 2008 conference aims to examine, learn, and bring to discussion how different theatre
traditions of East and West come to play for, against, amongst each other to transform and re-create their respective new ones, ultimately in order to enrich and reinforce Theatre as an important cultural asset of the global community.
The conference theme will include the following related topics:
1. Constructions and Imaginative Representation of Asian-ness in World Performance.
2. Religion and Theatre: influences of religions in Asia such as Shamanism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, etc. on theatre.
3. New media and Theatre: impact and uses of new technology on Asian traditional theatre and theatre education.
4. Adaptation and Appropriation: local Asian adaptations of international theatre influences including Shakespeare, Brecht, Chekhov, etc.
5. Cultural Translation: ideologies of the West such as modernism, Marxism, feminism, etc. as translated and historically practiced in Asian cultural contexts and their representations in theatre.
6. Asian and Transnational Women’s Issues in Performance.
7. Spatial Issues in Performance.
8. Corporeality and Representation in Performance.
9. Festivals as sites of performance.
10. Concepts of Asian-ness in Cyberspace.
The conference is interested in the full range of research addressing any of these (or any related) questions pertinent to the overarching theme and arising from, relating to or useful for discussing to the main theme and the related topics. In the application form you will be asked to indicate your choice of a category to be in. This is to help us make the sessions as coherent as possible, and to promote enriching debate among participants.
Please note:
Individuals who feel that the conference theme does not appeal to them, can of course still submit a proposal to one of the many Working Groups. The Working Groups are not bound by the theme of a conference, and have their own themes and ways of working. For details, contact the Convener of the particular Working Group you are interested in. (See Working Groups)
Also, it is important to note that while the New Scholars' Forum is an inherent part of the larger conference, the papers presented here need not be tied to the theme for the General Conference. New scholars may submit topics of their own choice for consideration. (See New Scholars’ Forum) |
