SUMMARY:Sinophone Studies: New Directions
DESCRIPTION:Listen again: \n \n \n“Sinophone” is arguably one of the most provocative concepts of world literary studies since the turn of the new millennium. In 2007\, we held the Yale-Harvard joint international conference “Globalizing Modern Chinese Literature: Sinophone and Diasporic Writings\,” examining an array of issues ranging from diaspora to multicultural articulations. Since then\, waves of scholarship have grappled with Sinophone Studies\, its spatiotemporal boundaries\, its methodological feasibility\, and above all\, its geopolitical and geopoetic implications. With the conference Sinophone Studies: New Directions\, we seek to provide a new forum in which scholars and students from different disciplines can evaluate outcomes of prior research\, define new topics\, raise concerns\, and most importantly\, offer innovative ideas and approaches. \nThe conference focuses on the following four themes: \n• Site and Sight: locality\, landscape\, topos\n• Sound and Script: multilingualism\, linguistic and graphic mediality\n• Roots and Routes: heritage in motion\, secondary and tertiary diasporas\, global mobility\n• History and Potentiality: post-loyalism\, governance\, resistance politics \nDownload the conference schedule here: sinophone-studies-schedule \nDownload speaker abstracts here: sinophone-studies-abstracts \n  \nOrganizers: \nJing TSU\, Professor of Modern Chinese Literature and Culture and Comparative Literature\, Yale University \nDavid Der-wei WANG\, Edward C.
