CALL FOR PAPERS
How might the understanding of “East Asia” – be it in terms of a geographical, historical, and cultural locus or as a space of fantasy and the imaginary – be illuminated by accounting for the ways in which desires are produced, structured, regulated, and mobilized through various institutions and discursive formations? Whether understood as lack or a productive force or a form of affective labor, desire is a concept that intersects with and imbricates a range of complex issues operating on the level of the libidinal as well as the material economy. Nationalism and imperialism, genders and sexualities, aesthetics and consumer culture, and the politics of alterity are but a few, yet are all significant to the study of East Asia.

CALL FOR PAPERS

On the (ir)reconcilability of Marxism and Post-Structural Thought

Intense contestation has been embedded in the historical trajectory for a politics of social change both inside and outside of the academy. Marxist thought asserts that ideas of social change can be conceived most effectively at the site of production and circulation within capitalist economies. How these processes intricately construct, reproduce and affect the subjectivities involved remains under-theorized.

Conversely, the post-structural focus on the construction and reproduction of these subjectivities deems the political-economic context a minor aspect in terms of understanding the reproduction of violence and oppression.
