Meeting Description:

The Department of Asian Studies at Palacký University Olomouc is currently
accepting individual paper, panel, and poster proposals for its 14th Annual
Conference on Asian Studies to be held on November 20–21, 2020 in Olomouc,
Czech Republic.

The general theme of the conference this year is Voiced and Voiceless in Asia.
The relationship between ‘voice’ and ‘power’ is always a complex one. In the
Asian context, a number of often closely intertwined issues come to mind,
including such topics as the relationship between those that govern and those
that are governed, the dominant social groups and minorities, those that are
promoted and those that are marginalized, the mainstream culture and the
subcultures, the official and the non-official, the standard and the
varieties, as well as a range of means that are used to maintain or subvert
such relationships, assert or acquire power, give or suppress voice, etc.


Call for Papers: 

We welcome papers that concern any region in Asia and approach the conference
theme from a variety of perspectives, including linguistics, literature, arts,
cultural studies, media studies, sociology, anthropology, history, philosophy,
political science, international relations, economics, cultural geography, and
other fields.

We invite researchers, teachers, and postgraduate students to submit their
proposals for individual oral presentations as well as organized panels
comprising of three to four oral papers dealing with a selected theme. In
addition, there will also be a Student Poster Session which will allow
undergraduate (BA) as well as graduate (MA and PhD) students to present the
results of their research.

The language of the conference is English. The individual presentations should
not exceed 20 minutes. Additional 10 minutes are planned for questions and
discussion. The panels may include three or four topically related
presentations and take up to 90 minutes, including the Q&A. For details
regarding the Student Poster Session, please see the conference website. The
proposals should be submitted in the form of abstracts (max. 300 words,
including references, for an individual paper or a poster, and up to 1,000
words, including references, for a panel) by August 16, 2020 via the EasyChair
submission page :
https://easychair.org/account/signin?l=DecZYFZqUa5CtXb4z5VVaJ. Decisions on
the abstracts will be sent by September 6, 2020.

We hope that despite the current challenges created by the coronavirus
outbreak we will be able to organize the conference in the usual in-person
format. However, the final decision about the format will be made closer to
the conference date in the autumn of 2020 so as to accommodate potential
travel restrictions and social-distancing rules, as well as the preferences of
the conference participants.

The conference fee for oral presenters is 75 EUR / 2000 CZK (in case that the
conference takes form of an in-person meeting). Participation in the Student
Poster Session is free of charge, and the selected posters will be printed by
the organizer.

All active participants must register by September 30, 2020. The fee will have
to be paid during the first week of November 2020.

Any questions can be addressed to acas at upol.cz.
