International Symposium (online)“Performing the Self and Playing with the Otherness: Clothing and Costuming
under Transcultural conditions”
We now live in transcultural world, where people, goods, culture, information easily crossthe boundaries of regions and nations. Given this situation, we have come to the experience
concerning facial and bodily expressions in a new way. For instance, uncountable images ofthe face (or body) have appeared through electronic media, among other ways. As a result, wehave come to be pressed with the global standardization of the choice, interpretation, andsense of beauty concerning the face (or body). On the other hand, people seem to be
increasingly eagerly involved in local or culturally specific interpretations or practices about
the face and body, such as covering the face with a veil in Islamic regions.
How people represent, perform, or transform oneself, under such transcultural situations?
How their clothing, costuming, or selfieing reflects such transcultural conditions? How they
construct, invent, or negotiate their cultural identity through such act? In this international
symposium, the scholars from Indonesia and Japan will explore those questions.
