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
