> DECEPTION:
> The 12th Annual East Asian Studies Graduate Student Conference,
> University of Toronto, 10 March 2012
>
> We are currently seeking original academic papers on the theme of
> "deception".
>
> Establishing as our starting point the distinction between truth and
> falsehood, we are interested in the question of how and to what
> purposes tht distinction might be intentionally blurred. We welcome
> contributions that discuss the human, and also non-human, faculty to
> deceive, as well as the human potential to be deceived. Deception can
> take the form of propaganda or a glance, an image or an utterance, a
> presence or an absence, a ploy or a pledge, an action or a silence.
>
> The question of deception invites a multitude of discussions:
> political, linguistic, artistic, cultural, historical,
> anthropological, philosophical, psychological, and many more besides.
>
> Thus we welcome papers from any and all disciplines willing and able
> to engage academically in the issues, intricacies, and illuminations
> of the topic of deception in an East Asian context, from the ways
> deception is defined and figured in East Asian societies and
> cultures, to the very workings of deception in the figuring and
> definition of East Asia.
>
> For those interested, we request that you provide an abstract (300
> words maximum) as well as your personal and contact information by
> December 15, 2011.
>
> Submissions from both individuals and panels of three (panelists
> should send individual abstracts and a panel abstract) are
> encouraged.
>
> Submitted papers are also eligible for consideration for the East
> Asia Forum, a journal edited and published by graduate students in
> the Department of East Asian Studies at the University of Toronto.
> Please indicate whether you wish to have your completed paper
> considered for publication.
>
> Selected participants will be asked to submit completed papers by
> February 15, 2012. Those who wish their papers to be considered for
> publication should submit a publication-ready copy (about 4000 words)
> by March 31, 2012. During the conference, participants will be given
> 20 minutes to present their work; actual presentation papers should
> be about 1500-2500 words long.
