The World Social Science Association's 67th annual conference's Asian Studies section is currently accepting panel proposals and abstracts. The conference will be held at the Sheraton Grand Hotel in Seattle, WA from April 2nd through April 5th, 2025. 

The Asian Studies section seeks to explore a diverse array of topics through various lenses, including but not limited to sociology, anthropology, gender studies, and more. We encourage innovative and critical approaches that address contemporary and historical issues. Past panels have included papers on diaspora communities, intercultural exchange, literature and popular culture, as well as comparative studies. 

Discussions on urbanity tend to be focused primarily on the materiality of lived experience: conditions of housing, access to livelihood opportunities and basic services, concerns on ecological commons, and so on. Cities are often imagined in terms of their economic value to regions and societies, as growth engines, as sites of consumption and production, or as regenerative nodes in the wider relay of transnational capital. With humanity turning urban at an unprecedented scale, it is common now to frame conversations on urbanisation in terms of challenges and opportunities, problems and solutions, irredeemable and transformational amidst a widening matrix of actants and stakeholders.

The depiction of dancing has been a part of animated image’s history since the beginnings of cinema with e.g. Eadweard Muybridge’s zoopraxiscope glass disks from 1893 with one of them showing “a couple waltzing”. In 1929, Walt Disney created The Skeleton Dance as part of the company's Silly Symphonies series. More experimental approaches to dance and animation resulted in Norman McLaren and Grant Munro’s playful animated short Two Bagatelles (1952), as well as the expressive images of Denis Poulin and Martine Époque’s CODA (2014). Not to forget “The Dancing Baby” from the very early days of the internet in 1996 by Michael Girard, Robert Lurye and John Chadwick.

In recent years, the landscape of Italian postcolonial literature has been profoundly shaped by prominent authors whose works illuminate a reality that diverges from traditional representations of Italian identity. These narratives offer a groundbreaking re-examination of Italy's colonial past from the perspective of the oppressed, highlighting the enduring socio-economic and cultural repercussions on former colonies and their inhabitants.
