Statement :
The process of globalization has generated an expected but equally unexpected new “intermediary” condition of knowledge production: regionalization. In Asia , the intermediary can be perceived in the context of Inter-Asia Cultural Studies movements, for instance. This new set of trend has profound impacts on the present and future intellectual work. It not simply serves to challenge our previous analytical framework bound by the local society and hence to open up the perspective to study the local in relation to the regional dynamics. It further enhances the necessity to work together beyond nation-state boundaries and calls for a change in our mode of thinking if not intellectual life. In Asia , the processes of regional integration have begun since the 1990' s and escalated in the new millennium. The purpose of the conference is to reflexively investigate the emerging conditions of knowledge on all levels and sites of intellectual productions.
Since the late 1990s, the Inter-Asia Cultural Studies (IACS) project has worked towards the imagination and possibilities of diverse forms of intellectual integrations in Asia . Besides publishing intellectual work produced out of Asia since 2000, the IACS has also organized various forms of activities to contribute to the interaction in Asia , including four major conferences held in Taipei , Fukuoka , Bangalore and Seoul . In 2004, an Inter-Asia Cultural Studies Society (IACSS) was formed in response to meet the growing demand of younger intellectuals to expand the scale of interactions in the region. The 2007 Shanghai Conference is the first meeting organized by the IACSS, in cooperation with the Center for Cultural Studies at Shanghai University , to provide a platform so that scholars and intellectuals can meet each other to discuss and analyze urgent issues emerging in the Asia region.
