CfP Bilateral Conference (Taiwan and Austria) ‘Justice and Injustice Problems in Transitional Societies’

June 9th, 2010

Call for Papers

Bilat­eral Con­fer­ence
(Taiwan and Austria)

Jus­tice and
Injus­tice Prob­lems in Tran­si­tional Societies:

Taiwan and China

2010.9.28-29

Polit­i­cal par­ties and
politi­cians have always attached high impor­tance to “tran­si­tional
jus­tice”. How­ever, instead of being seen merely as a polit­i­cal tool,
issues of jus­tice and injus­tice should be viewed from a broader per­spec­tive.
Due
to its his­tor­i­cal devel­op­ment and demo­c­ra­tic tran­si­tion, Taiwan has
long debated this sub­ject. China’s polit­i­cal and eco­nomic rise has
also focused inter­na­tional atten­tion on issues of fun­da­men­tal human
rights in China thus neces­si­tat­ing more in-​depth aca­d­e­mic research in
this area. Aus­trian researchers have also focused on high­light­ing issues
of jus­tice and injus­tice in a tran­si­tional soci­ety. This bilat­eral con­fer­ence
will focus on the­o­ries, poli­cies and prac­tices related to jus­tice and
injus­tice in Taiwan and China. We sin­cerely wel­come all teach­ers, researchers
and grad­u­ate stu­dents to submit papers and hope, through hold­ing this
con­fer­ence, to stim­u­late greater bilat­eral aca­d­e­mic exchange between
Taiwan and Austria.

Graduate Student Workshop: “Historical Legacies of Taiwan Culture: A Cinematic Approach”

May 5th, 2010

European Asso­ci­a­tion of Taiwan Stud­ies (EATS) in coop­er­a­tion with other part­ners orga­nizes Grad­u­ate Stu­dent work­shop: “His­tor­i­cal Lega­cies of Taiwan Cul­ture: A Cin­e­matic Approach” on Sep­tem­ber 5-12, 2010. It is a one-​week inten­sive sem­i­nar instructed by promi­nent Euro­pean and Tai­wanese schol­ars and aimed at grad­u­ate stu­dents study­ing at dif­fer­ent uni­ver­si­ties in Europe. The empha­sis of the work­shop is on Tai­wanese cul­ture with a spe­cial focus on film, although the work­shop will also deal with Taiwan his­tory, eth­nic­i­ties and mul­ti­cul­tur­al­ism, reli­gion, the women’s move­ment, socio-​linguistics and law. The aim of the work­shop is to pro­mote Taiwan Stud­ies among East­ern and West­ern Euro­pean grad­u­ate stu­dents from Chi­nese Stud­ies and other fields and pro­vide a method­olog­i­cal basis for their fur­ther research and study. The unique­ness of this project is the large number of promi­nent schol­ars it is able to gather to dis­cuss Taiwan-​related topics cur­rently not avail­able at the major­ity of Euro­pean institutions.
