Call for papers

Interaction, Influence and Entanglement

100 years of Finnish-Japanese Relations and Beyond

 International Symposium

 

Location: University of Oulu, Oulu, Finland
Important dates: 
Call open until April 30, 2016

The Japanese Studies Programme of the University of Oulu celebrates its 20th
anniversary on September 15–16, 2016 with a symposium that acknowledges
another forthcoming jubilee year. The celebration of the 100th anniversary of
the diplomatic relations between Finland and Japan 2019 calls researchers across
disciplinary boundaries to analyze the past and present interaction and
entangled relations between these two states, nations and societies.

As organizers of the ‘Interaction, Influence and Entanglement – 100 years of
Finnish-Japanese Relations and Beyond’ Symposium we invite proposals both from
postdoctoral researchers and PhD candidates. As the relationship between Japan
and Finland are older than the diplomatic relations we welcome papers that
address the long history of Finnish-Japanese encounters as well as papers that
discuss contemporary and even future-oriented topics. While encouraging
participants to challenge traditional phrasing of research questions through
innovative and fresh approaches, the following list of possible themes is
presented as a source of inspiration:

Political, economic and commercial relations between Finland and Japan
Cultural and educational bonds between Finland and Japan
Cooperation between Finland and Japan in various international arenas
Flows of knowledge, information, ideas and trends across national and cultural
borders
Links and connections in aesthetics, arts and architecture
Policy transfers between Finland and Japan
Influential individuals, groups and organizations in the development of
Finnish-Japanese relations
Finnish in Japan and/or Japanese in Finland
Finnish language in Japan and/or Japanese language in Finland

 

We ask you kindly to submit an abstract of 200-300 words by April 30, 2016 to
Juha Saunavaara (juha.saunavaara at oulu.fi). Authors of accepted proposals will be
notified by May 10, 2016. The deadline for extended abstracts/summaries (2-4
pages) that are not published but distributed among the participants is on
August 10, 2016.

The symposium language is English. There will be no registration fee for the
symposium.

The symposium is also a starting point of an edited scientific volume that is to
be published in the commemorative year of 2019. While we look forward to
including many of the symposium presentations in the volume, we will also
announce a separate call for papers after the symposium.

The symposium is co-organized by the University of Oulu Japanese Studies
Programme, the Embassy of Japan in Finland and Hokkaido University Helsinki
Office.
