forth).

Anthropology and related fields

Theme -  Themed Asian Text, Global Context, The CALA 2020 will represent over
300 years of East-West global interaction, communication, and
transnationalism. Throughout, symbolisms of Asian 'texts' have been
significantly emphasized, (re)interpreted, contested, and distorted, while
employed for cultural and political purpose. Asian texts have become highly
representational, authenticating, and legitimizing sociopolitical and cultural
devices, and their potency should not be underestimated. Never have these
texts shown more significance than in the present, as their intensified use,
and their qualities in Asian identities long contested, seek this Linguistic
Anthropological exploration.



Call for Papers:

Publications - We advise that several Special Journal issues are planned, as
well as a collection of Monographs, from papers submitted to the CALA, that
meet the requirements of submission, review and acceptance. The papers
selected will all be published with Top-Tier Ranking journals, and their
Publishers. Here, ample assistance will be provided to revise manuscripts for
publication.

Submitters must plan around the following:

- Colloquia - 1.5 hours with 3-5 contributors (Part A and B is possible, thus
6-10 contributors)  
- General paper sessions - Approx. 20-25 minutes each, which includes 5
