CALL FOR PAPERS OPEN NOW - DEADLINE FEBRUARY 1, 2014 Enquiries: accs@iafor.org Web address: http://accs.iafor.org Sponsored by: The International Academic Forum and Global Affiliates, including the Cultural Studies Association of Australasia The International Academic Forum in conjunction with its global partners, including the Cultural Studies Association of Australasia, is proud to announce the Fourth Asian Conference on Cultural Studies, to be held from May 29-June 1, at the Rihga Royal Hotel and the adjoining Osaka International Conference Center. The Fourth Asian Conference on Cultural Studies will offer a rich diversity of academic and cultural activity in the fantastically stimulating context of Japan, and in one of the world's great cities. Come and join us in Osaka for what promises to be a culturally stimulating, challenging and exciting event. Conference Theme: Borderlands of Becoming, Belonging and Sharing Local, national and global cultures have been transformed by an intensification of human migration, mobility and multi-culture with multiple and complex claims of home, identity and belonging. Gloria Anzaldua's idea of the borderland has become a critical conceptual rubric used by cultural researchers as a way of understanding, explaining and articulating the in-determined, vague, ambiguous nature of everyday life and the cultural politics of border-knowledge, border crossings, transgression, living in-between and multiple belongings. Borderlands is also about a social space where people of diverse backgrounds and identities meet and share a space in which the politics of co-presence and co-existence are experienced and enacted in mundane ways. This conference, which focuses on the borderlands of becoming, belonging and sharing, is therefore about examining how the culture of everyday life is regulated and contested across diverse political, economic and social contexts, and whether and how it creates spaces of belonging with others. The aim of this conference theme is to open up discussion, critical reflection and analysis about emerging social, political and cultural identities that are formed at the intersection of multiple and multi-sited belongings and their expression and about the possibility of making them shared across differences. We welcome papers that focus on (but not limited to): * Trans-cultural displacement/belonging * Belonging and the intersections of gender, race, religion, sexuality * Seeking refuge, unruly belonging(s) and border politics * Trauma and joy of becoming and belonging * Communication, new technologies and belonging * Cultural narratives of belonging/not belonging * Cultural politics of survival/transgression * New imaginings/formations of home * Citizenship beyond borders * Multicultural exhaustion/renewal * Belonging in the Anthropocene * Multiple and complex belongings * Re-locating culture across borders * Convivial cultures and the imagined communities * Creation of shared space(s) of multiple belongings We hope that the 2014 conference theme will encourage academic and personal encounters and exchanges across national, religious, cultural and disciplinary divides. We look forward to seeing you (again) in Osaka!

3rd Global Conference: Celebrity and Fandom

3rd Global Conference: Celebrity and Fandom Monday 21st July - Wednesday 23rd July 2014, Mansfield College, Oxford, United kingdom Call for Presentations In the recent Channel 4 documentary on One Direction fans ('Directioners'), one of the featured young girls compared the 1D fan community to a sect. Later on, reports on 1D's fan's desperate attempts at establishing more intimate contact with the members of the group followed, the most terrifying one being on a fan who threatened to kill her beloved dog, if one of the boys did not follow her on Twitter. While disturbing in itself, also for the fans as proved by their angry response, the documentary and the subsequent critical response accurately showed the positive and negative aspects of the existing and practiced modes of relating to celebrity figures and the necessity of further studies on the phenomenon of consuming celebrity. What boxes must a celebrity 'tick' to appeal to people, and what kinds of people are in need of a famous figure to glorify? Is it culture/time specific? Is it legitimate to say that each century gets the fans and celebrities it deserves? While this year we wish to explore the subject of fan culture and celebrity consumption, the conference is ultimately devoted to the phenomenon of celebrity in general. Inviting abstract propositions on fandom and celebrity culture representing all corners of the world and all historical periods, it also wishes to investigate Asian cultures more thoroughly. For instance, why is it stereotypically said of Asian fans that they are the loudest and most devoted and yet least dangerous to their subjects/objects of adoration? Why does Japan have 'star factories'? Why was it so important for Minami Minegishi, a J-pop band member, to publically apologise for her 'no-boyfriend'-rule transgression? What are the Chinese 'star tribe' and what is their value to the celebrity figure the follow? This call for presentations, proposals and performances addresses a serious, interdisciplinary and multicultural analysis of the phenomenon of celebrity. We encourage both an in-depth criticism of the state of contemporary culture as well as a legitimate recognition of celebrities' and fans' cultural value. Scholars, artists, writers, media representatives, sociologists, psychologists, anthropologists, and medical and law specialists are invited to send papers, reports, research studies, work-in-progress, works of art, workshops and pre-formed panels are invited on issues related to the following themes: Fandom -Celebrity Worship Syndrome; Celebrity Attitude Scale (Houran, McCutcheon, Lange, Maltby and Ashe) -'Consuming' celebrities in the past, present and predictions for the future -Modes of relation to celebrity figures -Audience-response studies -Identity formation processes in fandom studies -The culture of 'celebrating' and its rules and dynamics -Fan communities, fan clubs, groupies, stalkers -Fan versus the fanatic (obsessions, criminal acts) -Gendering fandom -Age and fandom (teenagers versus adults; older fans, ie. 1D 'moms'/'dads') -Cultural differences: European, American, Indo-Asian, African fandom -The value/indispensability of fans (i.e. as consumers of products; as petitioners for continuing TV shows) -Fans' response to the stars conduct and decisions -Fans and the (social) media Theorising and Defining Stardom/Celebrity -Definitions of celebrity-hood, stardom, fame, iconicity, charisma, uniqueness/singularity, mass culture/pop-culture, popularity -The history of celebrity: the idols in the past and now -From zero to hero: defining 'ordinary celebrities' -Ideological conditions of celebrity culture -Celebrities as commodities -Celebrities as cultural fabrications -Representation of celebrities; 'celebrification' processes; the making of the 'star' -Celebrities: empowerment or objectification; self-fashioning (public vs private self) -Celebrities and the discourse on the body -Celebrity culture and the audience -Rhetoric of fame -Intercultural perspective on celebrity: i.e. Bollywood vs Hollywood, Eurpoean/American market vs Asian celebrity industry -(Post)colonialism and celebrity -Celebrity as 'Other' -Celebrity status and gender The Function of Stardom and Significance of Celebrity Figures -The modern celebrity culture: its status, benefits, etc. -Celebrity and identity formation; authenticity; national identity; -Celebrities and fashion -Good and bad PR -Celebrity and power; political function of celebrity status -Politics and celebrities; celebrities in politics; politicisation of celebrity -Mass media and the formation of celebrity culture -Celebrity in the media: news, shows, tabloids -Celebrity and the law, accountability, morality, crime, transgressions -Notorious celebrity/fame: The anti-heroes and anti-stars; Ethics of fame -Celebrities and their personnel -Child celebrities: Too young for fame? -Celebrity status as a burden; The weight of stardom -Forgotten celebrities: What happens when fame disappears? Celebrities and ageing; Posthumous fame -Unwanted fame -(Auto)biographies of/by stars and idols: (self-)representation, truth/biofiction -Celebrity as educators; their positive impact; celebrities and humanitarian actions; awareness-raising -Celebrity confessional literature; Self-help books by celebrities -Teaching about celebrity culture The Steering Group particularly welcomes the submission of pre-formed panel proposals. In order to support and encourage interdisciplinarity engagement, it is our intention to create the possibility of starting dialogues between the parallel events running during this conference. Delegates are welcome to attend up to two sessions in each of the concurrent conferences. We also propose to produce cross-over sessions between these groups â€" and we welcome proposals which deal with the relationship between Celebrity and Whiteness.
