> Digital East Asia
>
> International Conference
>
> The Modern East Asia Research Centre (MEARC), at Leiden University's
> Institute for Area Studies, welcomes submissions for an International
> Conference taking place on
>
> 9 – 10 December 2011 in the Netherlands
>
> MEARC welcomes scholars from the area studies, social sciences,
> humanities, and from multi-disciplinary backgrounds to submit proposals
> that address the complex social, economic, and political questions that
> arise from new ICTs across the East Asian region.
>
> Introduction:
>
> At the outset of the 21st century, the world is witnessing what
> communication scholars such as Clay Shirkey have called a "tectonic
> shift" in social, economic, and political processes. New information and
> communication technologies (or: ICTs) have made it easier than ever to
> form communities and act collectively. As sociologist Manuel Castells has
> argued, we have entered a new age: the "information age", a period in
> which communication processes are cheaper, faster, and more effective,
> and in which societies are increasingly organized as "networks" rather
> than as hierarchies.
>
> The profound changes of the information age have caused both optimism and
> fear. On the one hand, the optimists argue that the open nature of new
> communication methods empowers marginalized social groups, strengthens
> "civil societies", and generally makes traditional forms of political
> organization (such as the "state") obsolete. On the other hand, sceptics
> question whether new technologies indeed have such ground-breaking
> impacts on social and political processes. A decade into the 21st
> century, the nation-state is still a successful model of social
> organization, the World Wide Web has become highly commercialized, and
> ICTs in many cases seem to have strengthened state control over
> information rather than weakened it. The liberal dream of free
> information flows seems, for all intents and purposes, to be over.
>
> Conference Focus:
>
> The aim of this international conference is to examine what these
> developments mean for the study of modern East Asia. Digital East Asia
> examines what impact new technologies, new channels of communication, and
> unprecedented convergence of media formats have in the East Asian
> context. Examples abound: In South Korea, online computer games have
> become so popular that individual matches are broadcasted on TV. In both
> South Korea and Japan, democratic campaigns are accompanied by online
> activism in the form of "twitter" and blogging, which in turn has
> prompted political actors to integrate new media content into their
> campaigns. In the People's Republic of China, roughly 420 million Chinese
> citizens regularly use the Internet today. If past growth rates continue,
> then by 2011 the number of Chinese netizens will exceed the population of
> the European Union. Yet while the number of users in China has expanded,
> the PRC government has tightened its control of the national web, and has
> even used the new technologies to its advantage: the PRC government today
> offers not only state-of-the-art e-governance services, but also deploys
> ICTs to better manage the sprawling propaganda system of the Chinese
> Communist Party.
>
> Such examples raise a range of questions that scholars, journalists,
> politicians, and businessmen will have to address if they want to succeed
> in East Asia in the 21st century: How do new media formats change the way
> ideas and cultural elements "travel" across the region? How do state and
> non-state actors interact through these new communication networks? How
> are societies in East Asia goverened in an age of information? Moreover:
> who truly holds the power over communication processes in the information
> age? The conference will address these questions, and will focus in
> particular on issues such as:
>
> media convergence in the digital age,
> transnational flows of digital culture,
> e-governance and the politics of network societies,
> social and participatory media,
> online activism and digital challenges to state power.
>
