INTRODUCTION
Faculty of Humanities of Airlangga University will hold its First International Symposium on "Language, Culture, and Globalization in Southeast Asian Countries" to celebrate its 10th anniversary. The symposium seeks to bring analyses in the field of humanities to bear on the complex relationship between language, culture and history, and the process of globalization in Southeast Asian countries. It also seeks to explore questions concerning commonalities and differences among Southeast Asians, who often come from radically different social, cultural and political contexts and yet who live in a world that is increasingly globally connected.
The symposium especially invites contributions from scholars or professionals who are interested in the issues in the humanities and its new trends in relation to the globally changing world. The symposium has identified several sub-themes to explore under this main theme. There are, among others, linguistics, literary works, translation studies, and cultures of Southeast Asia as regional identity markers in the domain of globalization, linguistic genocide, ethnography, and media in the era of globalization, indigenous studies and regional history: challenges and responses. In particular, participants are encouraged to engage with multidimensional and multidiscipline perspectives to share the researches in linguistics, literature, history, and culture in the domain of hegemonic globalization in Southeast Asian countries.
MAIN AND SUB THEMES
The main these of the symposium is "Language, Culture, and Globalization in Southeast Asian Countries." Meanwhile the sub-themes ("sites of inquiry") of the symposium are:
Issues and new trends in linguistics, literary works, translation studies, and cultures of Southeast Asia as regional identity markers in the era of globalization.
Examinations in linguistic genocide, ethnography, and media in the era of capitalist globalization.
Discussions in indigenous studies and regional history: challenges and responses.
Processes of ICT (Information and Communication Technology), literacy identity, and regional community in Southeast Asia.
Examinations of how perpetuation of tradition and processes of modernization/globalization – and tensions between them – affects the lives in Southeast Asian communities within different social and historical contexts.
Processes of globalization, their intersections with particularistic forms of Southeast Asian indigenous cultures, and the dilemma thus faced by emergent global identities.
Analyses of the diversity of the cultural norms that give rise to Southeast Asian images affected by globalization processes in various forms of representation and self-expressions, ranging from art, to religion, to the media.
Discussions of biomedical practices, and other uses of science and technology, that may threaten Southeast Asian communities to their integrity and social autonomy.
We welcome participations of diverse backgrounds in addressing the problems in the field of humanities through an exploration of any of the above "sites of inquiry." Proposals that address other "sites of inquiry" will also be considered.
