2019 ASAK International Conference CFP
Call for Papers The American Studies Association of Korea The 54th International Conference “America, Nation of Great Divide and Tolerance” Organized by The American Studies Association of Korea (ASAK) Venue: Korea University, Seoul, South Korea Date: September 20-21, 2019 The American Studies Association of Korea (ASAK) is pleased to announcean international conference on “America, Nation of Great Divide and Tolerance”to be held in Seoul, South Korea, from September 20 to 21, 2019. Early in the last century, American playwright William Vaughn Moodydramatized the American theme of ‘East-West contrast’ in his play The GreatDivide (1906). It revealed the distinct difference between a wild landscapein southern Arizona and a civilized town in Massachusetts, as well as the‘divides’ at various levels, such as those among people, culture, customs, andsocial values inherent in the two regions. Starting as a nation of immigrantswith diverse national and ethnic backgrounds, the United States had from birthan inexplicably heterogeneous identity that cannot be explained in simpleterms. Accordingly, she has been exhibiting divides from the beginning invarious fields and levels such as region, language, religion, economy, politics,culture, and related values. She has suffered and finally overcome the manyconflicts that stem from these divides. The moments of history that haveovercome each of the divides offer us a lesson, which is the virtue of‘tolerance.’ The divides can be causes of disagreements and discord. But, onthe other hand, they can be opportunities to lead to more productive agreementsand consensus. In this respect, divide and tolerance are not entirelyconfrontational but can be complementary and cooperative. With the newmillennium, the United States has been given a weightier responsibility andmission in an unprecedented and rapidly changing international order. At thispoint, the virtue of ‘tolerance’ is more in demand than ever, and this virtueis of greater value in redefining the relationship between the United Statesand the international community. The 2019 ASAK conference will look into how the terms ‘divide’ and‘tolerance’ have been redefined in the process of shaping the culture of theUnites States from various perspectives and dimensions: historical, cultural,social, political, and economical. In addition, we will situate the termswithin the global and transnational context by tracing how they have beenappropriated across the world in relation to America. Finally, and mostimportantly, this conference hopes to anticipate how the virtue of tolerancewill be applied to redefining US domestic and international relations and whatchanges it will bring in the future. Paper topics include, but are not limitedto, the following areas: Race, ethnicity, class, gender, and sexuality Racism, xenophobia, and segregation Immigration, citizenship, and globalization Crossing borders vs. border walls Imperialism, exceptionalism, expansionism, and regionalism Urbanization, suburbanization, and gentrification Nation and nationality Multiculturalism, transculturalism, transnationalism, andcosmopolitanism Memory, identity, and representation Democracy and its discontents Puritanism, Manifest Destiny, American Dream Political correctness and social justice Wars, disasters, and crimes History and historiography Religion and ethics Activism and protests Economy and neoliberalism Media cultures of television, cinema, theater, and SNS Fashion and cuisines Civil rights movements and human rights movements Nature and the environment Proposals may be submitted foreither individual papers or sessions.

제 54회 한국아메리카 학회 국제 학술대회 및 원고 모집
한국아메리카학회 제 54회 국제학술대회 “미국, 차이와 관용의 국가” 주최:한국아메리카학회 장소:고려대학교, 서울 일시:2019년 9월 20일-21일 한국아메리카학회(ASAK)는 2019년 9월 20일부터 21일까지양일간 서울에서 \"미국, 차이와 관용의 국가\"라는 주제로 국제학술대회를 개최합니다. 지난 세기 초, 미국 극작가 William Vaughan Moody는 The Great Divide (1906)를 통해 ‘동서 대조’라는미국의 주제를 극화했습니다. 애리조나의 야생 환경과 매사추세츠의 문명 환경을 비롯해, 두 공간에 내재하는 사람, 문화,풍습, 가치관 등 다양한 층위의 ‘차이’(divides)를 폭로하는 이 극은 두 지역 출신의 남녀의 결혼을 통해 ‘상호 이해와 화합’의 메시지를 결론으로 제시합니다. 다양한 인종, 민족과 국적의 배경을 가진 이민자의 나라로 출발한 미국은 한 가지로 설명할 수 없는 불가해한 ‘이질적’(heterogeneous) 정체성을 태생적으로 지닙니다. 결과적으로 미국은 시작부터 지역, 언어, 종교, 경제, 문화, 정치, 및 관련된 가치관 등 다양한 분야와 층위에서 ‘차이’를 떠안았으며, 그로이해 불거진 수많은 갈등을 겪어왔고 또 그것을 이겨왔습니다. ‘차이’를이겨낸 역사의 매 순간은 우리에게 하나의 교훈을 던지는데, 그것은 바로 ‘관용’(tolerance)의 미덕입니다. ‘차이’는 의견불일치와 분열의 원인일 수 있지만, 다른 한편 타자의 권리와 이익을 공감하는 가운데 서로에 대해 보다 생산적인 의견 일치와 합의를 도출하는 기회일수 있습니다. 이런 점에서 ‘차이’와 ‘관용’은 전적으로대결적인 관계가 아니라, 상호보완적이고 공조하는 관계일 수 있는 것입니다. 새로운 밀레니엄을 맞아 미국은 전례없이 급변하는 국제질서 속에서 그에 걸맞는 보다 막중한 책무를 부여 받고있습니다. 이러한 시점에서 ‘관용’의 미덕이 더 없이 요구되고 있으며, 관용의 미덕은 미국과 국제사회의관계를 재정립하는 데 있어 보다 중요한 가치로 의미를 갖습니다. 2019년 한국아메리카학회 국제학술대회에서는 미국 문화를 형성하는 과정에서 ‘차이’와 ‘관용’의 개념이 어떻게재정의되어 왔는지 역사, 문화, 사회, 정치, 경제 등 다양한 관점과 차원에서 살펴볼 것입니다. 또한, 지구적?초국가적 맥락에서 이 개념이미국과 관련하여 전 세계에 걸쳐 어떻게 전유되어 왔는지를 살펴보고자 합니다. 무엇보다 중요한 점은, 이번 국제학술대회는 미국의 국내?국제 관계를 재정의하는 데 ‘관용’의 미덕이 어떻게 적용될 수 있을 것이지, 그리고 이것이 미래에 어떤결과를 가져올 것인지를 예상해보는 의미 있는 기회가 될 것입니다. 국내 학자 및 학생들의 많은 관심과참여를 부탁드립니다. 주요 일정 초록제출 마감: 2019년 4월 15일 심사결과통지: 2019년 4월 30일 프로시딩스게재 원고 제출 마감: 2019년 6월 30일 등록비 일반참가자 및 발표자: 5만원 대학원생참가자 및 발표자: 1만원 참가자에게는점심(양일), 만찬(첫날), 다과, 학회프로그램 및 프로시딩스가 제공됩니다. 한국 아메리카 학회 이사회 올림 2019-02-07

CFP: The 53rd ASAK International Conference
Revisioning America: History, Myth, and Reality
The 53rd International Conference organized by
The American Studies Association of Korea (ASAK)
Seoul, South Korea, September 14-15, 2018
The American Studies Association of Korea (ASAK) is pleased to announce an international conference on “Revisioning America: History, Myth, and Creed” to be held in Seoul, South Korea, from September 14 to 15, 2018. The 2018 conference invites scholarly discussions about the dynamic mode of envisioning and revisioning the idea of “America” in consideration of U. S. society, history, culture, politics, economy, media, arts and literature.
From the Colonial period until present, America has been driven by visions. The Puritans made their way to the North American continent with a view of building a “city upon a hill.” The Founding Fathers and their descendants joined forces together by imagining an unprecedented community of universal equality and unrestrained freedom. The new nation strove to consolidate their independence under the widely shared prospect of realizing the American Dream, which has continued its influence upon the popular mind as most recently demonstrated by the choice of the project of “making America great again” in the 2016 presidential election. Meanwhile, there have been appearing other kinds of outlook that focus on racial, gender, and regional diversities, challenging the mainstream versions of the American roadmap. What becomes evident is, then, that the United States is a country made of contending visions for the future and that the overarching vision of “America” is always undergoing revision. The 2018 ASAK conference calls for insightful and thought-provoking examinations of this ever-fluctuating truth of America. Scholars are encouraged to contemplate upon different trajectories through which the conflicting visions based on the past and present recast America’s domestic and international missions, and upon varied patterns in which those revisionings articulate and complicate the American histories, myths, and realities.
Paper topics include, but are not limited to, the following areas:
Race, ethnicity, class, gender, and sexuality
Racism, xenophobia, and segregation
Immigration, citizenship, and globalization
Crossing borders vs. border walls
Imperialism, exceptionalism, expansionism, and regionalism
Urbanization, suburbanization, and gentrification
