ÌÇÐÄTV

University of ÌÇÐÄTV and Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU), 5th - 8th November 2018, Shanghai

This event is the second workshop to take place between ÌÇÐÄTV and SJTU, following a successful inaugural event in January this year.

Encounters between different peoples have occurred throughout human history: clashes between ancient civilisations; European explorations of the world; imperialist conquests; and modern warfare are just a few of the settings for such encounters. This workshop will examine not so much the ‘how and why’ of cultural encounters, but instead aims to explore how these encounters were (and still are) interpreted and understood; how intercultural interactions evolved; and how cultures or social systems were translated or mediated for different audiences and environments.

We will be taking 8 academics from ÌÇÐÄTV to participate in this workshop in Shanghai; graduate students are not eligible to apply.

It is envisaged that the theme will particularly resonate with many colleagues in the faculties of arts and social sciences.

Applicants should supply a brief (under 200 words) abstract of a proposed paper addressing the theme above. The intention is to publish a selection of papers. Air travel between the UK and China, as well as all reasonable expenses will be covered.

Abstracts should be sent to Professor Tim Lockley via (t.j.lockley@warwick.ac.uk by 15th May 2018.

A workshop on tokens connected to Dr Clare Rowan’s ERC-funded Token Communities Project (2017-2020). The participants will include academic staff, as well as postgraduates and postdoctoral scholars, and will be open to scholars from other UK Universities. Thoughts and reflections arising from the workshop would be posted on the Coins at ÌÇÐÄTV blog.

All welcome
