Shower at the New Yanagi Bridge from a Series of Illustrations of the Banks of the Sumida River - Volume 2(c1805) by Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849), a Japanese artist, ukiyo-e painter, and printmaker of the Edo period.
In early summer, most parts of Japan get visited by a rainy season, the so called tsuyu (or baiyu), literally meaning“plum rain”, because it coincides with the season of plums ripening.
In this illustration from Edo Japan, spread over two pages, people struggle with umbrellas as they cross a curved
wooden bridge on the Sumida River in the rain. People can be seen carrying bangasa - waterproof paperbamboo ubmrellas borrowed from local stores - each of which are decorated with the store logo and a number..
With the advent of the woodblock press in during the Edo Period, illustrative books quickly evolved into a
popular mode of both artistic production and commercial trade.

welcome to acas/accs 2014
Dear Delegates,
Welcome to the Fourth IAFOR Conference on Cultural Studies and Asian Studies in Osaka. I am also happy to welcome you
on behalf of the Cultural Studies Association of Australasia, a global partner of this event.
IAFOR’s role as Asia’s Think Tank is a perfect vehicle for deliberations by Cultural Studies and Asian Studies scholars, thinkers
and students. The hallmark of IAFOR is that its work provides a vital crossroad for dialogue and enquiry that is international,
intercultural and interdisciplinary. Such work is germane to the research undertaken by and concerns of Cultural Studies andAsian Studies practitioners.
This year the broad theme of the Conference is Borderlands of Becoming, Belonging and Sharing. We know that local, nationaland global cultures are being utterly transformed by an intensification of human migration, mobility and multi-cultural, multiethnic and multi-racial belonging.

Borderlands is about a social space where people of diverse backgrounds and identities meet and share a space in which thepolitics of co-presence and co-existence are experienced and enacted in mundane ways. This conference 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.
I hope that you find this Conference enjoyable, recuperative, inspiring and stimulating as well as one that demonstrates thevalue of participating and contributing in meeting places such as this. I am sure that there will be many opportunities for richdialogue and conversation throughout the Conference.

letter of welcome

At a time when the Asia/Pacific is pulling the world towards its centre of gravity, challenging Atlantic-centrism, Gloria Anzaldua’s
notion of the borderland has become reinvigorated as a critical conceptual rubric. This concept is used by cultural researchers
as a way of understanding, explaining and articulating the in-determined, vague, ambiguous nature of everyday life and thecultural politics of border-knowledge, border crossings, transgression, living in-between and sharing in multiple belongings.

Koichi Iwabuchi is Professor of Media and Cultural Studies and Director of the Monash Asia Institute in Monash
University, Australia. His main research interests are media and cultural globalisation, multicultural questions, mixed raceand cultural citizenship in East Asian contexts.

Keynote Speech: “On the predicament of the borderland imagination”
It has been much discussed that the intricate process of globalization brings about contradictory consequences.
Crossborder ethno-cultural flows, connections and communications have become active more than ever, which
intensify cultural diversity within the nation and engender transnationalism and cosmopolitanism. At the same time
the concern of fostering national interests and pride has become even more salient, which accompanies the rise of
jingoism and racism. This presentation will consider in the Japanese, and East Asian, context the difficulty of opening a
dialogue between such irreconcilable social divide, and whether and how the critical imagination associated with thenotion of borderland could gain a creative edge toward it.

Hsiao-Chuan Hsia is Professor and Director at the Graduate Institute for Social Transformation Studies, Shih Hsin
University, Taiwan. As the first scholar studying marriage migration issues in Taiwan, her first well-known book is titled“Drifting Shoal (流離尋岸): the ‘Foreign Brides’ Phenomenon in Capitalist Globalization” (in Chinese and will be
published in Japanese in 2014). Her other publications analyze issues of immigrants, migrant workers, citizenship,
multiculturalism, empowerment and social movements. Hsia is also an activist striving for the empowerment ofimmigrant women and the making of im/migrant movement in Taiwan. She initiated the Chinese programs for marriage
migrants in 1995, leading to the establishment of TransAsia Sisters Association, Taiwan (TASAT). She is also the cofounder of the Alliance for the Human Rights Legislation for Immigrants and Migrants and serves as the board memberof Asia Pacific Mission for Migrants, member of the International Coordinating Body of the International Migrants
Alliance, and member of the Regional Council of Asia Pacific Women, Law and Development and spokesperson of the
Action Network for Marriage Migrants’ Rights and Empowerment (AMMORE)
Featured Speech: Gender, Citizenship and Empowerment of Marriage Migrants in East Asia
As Capitalist globalization intensifies, East Asian Countries, including Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, are facing theincreasing influx of marriage migrants, who become parts of the families of the nationals. These marriage migrants andthe children of the transnational marriages pose great challenges to the traditional ideology of incorporation in these
East Asian countries based on the principle of jus sanguinis, inclusive of people who can claim a common ancestral
origin, real or imagined, and somewhat exclusive of people who do not share that commonality.
From the perspectives of social movements, though the concept of multicultural citizenship can be easily co-opted,
it can still be used as effective framing strategy to make the historically very exclusionary model of citizenship more
inclusive. However, the legitimacy of the social movements to advance the rights of the immigrants should be based on
the subjectivity of the marriage migrants, who can speak for themselves, rather than depend on the local activists. Thisremains a challenge to national activists who are concerned about the rights of im/migrants.

featured presenter

Donald E. Hall has published widely in the fields of British Studies, Gender Theory, Cultural Studies, and Professional
Studies. Prior to arriving at Lehigh in 2011, he served as Jackson Distinguished Professor of English and Chair of the
Department of English (and previously Chair of the Department of Foreign Languages) at West Virginia University(WVU). Before his tenure at WVU, he was Professor of English and Chair of the Department of English at California
State University, Northridge (CSUN), where he taught for thirteen years. He is a recipient of the University
Distinguished Teaching Award at CSUN, was a visiting professor at the National University of Rwanda, was 2001
Lansdowne Distinguished Visiting Scholar at the University of Victoria (Canada), was Fulbright Distinguished Chair in
Cultural Studies at Karl Franzens University in Graz, Austria, for 2004-05, and was Fulbright Specialist at the University
of Helsinki for 2006. He has taught also in Sweden, Romania, Hungary, and China. He has served on numerous panels
and committees for the Modern Language Association (MLA), including the Task Force on Evaluating Scholarship for
Tenure and Promotion and the Convention Program Committee. In 2012, he served as national President of the
Association of Departments of English. In 2013, he was elected to and began serving on the Executive Council of the
MLA.
His current and forthcoming work examines issues such as professional responsibility and academic communitybuilding, the dialogics of social change and ethical intellectualism, and the Victorian (and our continuing) interest in the
deployment of instrumental agency over our social, vocational, and sexual selves. His book, The Academic Community:
A Manual For Change, was published by Ohio State University Press in the fall of 2007. His tenth book, Reading
Sexualities: Hermeneutic Theory and the Future of Queer Studies, was published in the spring of 2009. In 2012, he andAnnamarie Jagose, of the University of Auckland, collaborated on a volume titled The Routledge Queer Studies Reader,which was published in July of that year. He continues to lecture worldwide on the value of a liberal arts education andthe need for nurturing global competencies in students and interdisciplinary dialogue in and beyond the classroom.
Featured Speech: Looking Beyond Our Horizons: Interdisciplinary Education as Our Best Hope for the Future
My opening questions are deceptively simple—but quickly point to a host of political conflicts and differences ofperspective: how do we learn and what should we learn? Across the US and the world, we hear politicians and laycommentators call for university training that is focused primarily, if not solely, in the hard sciences and engineering.
State and local governments in America are slashing funding for programs in philosophy, music, languages, andanthropology. At a time when we are confronted with the enormous challenges of cultural conflict, political strife, andreligious intolerance, we are told that our hopes for the future rest on the solutions provided by technology alone.
This is fool-hardy, if not actually self-destructive, in my opinion.
Science will help us cure disease. Technology will allow us to communicate and travel faster. Engineering may assist
us in generating new forms of energy and protecting against eroding agricultural lands and coastal areas. However,none of them challenges the destructive force of self-interest, national or personal. None of them alone provides thetools to achieve the goal of living in peace, good will, and a sense of shared interest with our fellow inhabitants of theplanet so we can address global crises. For that, we need interdisciplinary training in the liberal arts and sciences—
especially as informed by the humanities, the social sciences, the visual and performing arts, and cultural studies. Only
interdisciplinarity can teach us how to cross boundaries comfortably, even enthusiastically. Only interdisciplinary
perspectives can save us from ourselves and the threats that are in fact produced by a narrow reliance on science,technology, and business.

IAFORThe International Academic Forum
Academic Vision and Mission“To Open Minds, To Educate Intelligence, To Inform Decisions”
The vision of IAFOR grew out of the perceived need to fill a vacuum in the communication and exchange activities of the academic
world. Its mission arose out of examining that space and investigating why it existed. The vacuum existed because of the lack ofopportunity for serious and thoughtful exchange between academics, members of the global business community, and practitioners
in the fields of human endeavor that linked these groups together. In the field of education, for example, we have academic theorists,
educational managers (political decision-makers and organizational directors) and classroom teachers with their support staff in IT,
library work, exchange programs, and specialist fields. But how often do they have the opportunity to interact?
Moving beyond one particular field, larger questions arise. What function should universities prioritize in the 21st century? What
do businesses see as their contribution to social and global well being? How can people on the ground, trying to implement
improvements that will transform human life, best be supported? And perhaps above all, what are the agendas that will drive
mechanisms to enable these groups to interact effectively.
One piece of distilled thought that came from early exchanges at one of our conferences was the recognition that some of therhetoric of concern about the problems of developing nations was perhaps over-focused on the term “poverty” because it can be
defined only in a relative way. “Hunger” was put forward as being more immediate and itself a contributory factor to poverty, rather
than the other way round. One key to the hunger issue could be the provision of safe drinking water, or water for irrigation in somecontexts, while flood management might be necessary elsewhere. These, in and by themselves become valuable only insofar as they
help to relieve hunger in specific contexts.
IAFOR is affording opportunities that do not exist elsewhere. The base is Osaka, Japan’s great commercial and manufacturing hub,
one symbol of the emerging Pacific economy that is already eclipsing the long dominant Atlantic zone. Our conferences present
those taking part with three unique dimensions of experience. First of all, it encourages interdisciplinary activity to be expanded.
Depending on the field, this can face varying degrees of difficulty, ranging from discouragement to downright prohibition. Those
overly dependent on fixed academic structures often see lateral thinking as a threat. None of these negatives apply in IAFOR. Its
purpose is to generate new approaches that cross any disciplinary lines. The principle employed is to let the imagination permit
intuitive responses to questions. There are no panels of critics. There are simply people who want to listen and reflect. The model ofacademic work as potholing is replaced by the metaphor of mountaineering. While respecting the need for solid and well-founded
academic work, we feel the need to go beyond it from time to time to discover fresh approaches to old questions.
Secondly, it facilitates the heightening of intercultural awareness. Again, we encourage innovation through cross-cultural perception.
Cultural roots influence people in their attitudes more than most would realize or admit. The need to see and internalize insights
gained from other viewpoints is met by a process of steady illumination.
Thirdly, it promotes the broadening of international exchange. We may live in a globalized world, but in reality parochialism still holds
sway. The collapse of the U.S.S.R and the break-up of Yugoslavia led to the re-establishment of numerous former countries. While
this may be desirable for the peoples concerned, it merely adds to the world’s cultural confusion. Exchange leads to explanation andthat helps the growth of intercultural awareness.
IAFOR makes all of these developments possible in one gathering. Our conferences are not a substitute for specialist conferences.
We intend our events to be an alternative that functions as a balance or even a corrective to the extreme tendencies that can arise
from more narrowly defined research parameters. In short, IAFOR is promoting and facilitating a new multifaceted approach to oneof the core issues of our time, namely globalization and its many forms of growth and expansion. Awareness of how it cuts acrossthe worlds of business, and academia, along with its impact on societies and institutions is one of the driving forces that has given
the organization its momentum, and is making it a pioneer in this global age.
