CONFERENCE - Chinese Studies Association of Australia (9-11 July 2009; USyd, NSW) [18.03.2009]
Jiu: Commemoration and Celebration in the Chinese-speaking World
(CSAA conference)
The Women's College, University of Sydney
9-11 July 2009
The CSAA 2009 Conference adopts the theme of ‘jiu’, and thus takes up the challenge of both celebrating and commemorating the achievements and hardships of the past century 1909-2009 in the Chinese-speaking world. We encourage papers and panels that develop this theme by revisiting old paradigms in the spirit of new research ideas, and by bringing historical perspective to the issues of the present day.
Puns and wordplay, where they allow for complex ideas to be fluently transmitted to an expert audience, are very welcome and apposite.
