How do media connect and form extensive ecosystems? What tensions emerge between newer media practices
 and older media infrastructure and content? How does the combination of “media studies” and “East Asia”
change our approach to both of these formations?
We invite you to join us at the East Asian Media Studies conference on May 6 & 7 to discuss these and other
 issues. The conference aims to foster interdisciplinary, intermedial, transnational, and transhistorical
conversations. We hope to address the potential of East Asian Media Studies through three broad questions:
  • What kind of work is being done in what we might call East Asian media studies, using what types

        of theories

  • , methods, sources, and frameworks?
  • How do we understand the many challenges and potentials of such a field of inquiry?
  • Can the coupling of “media studies” and “East Asia” generate new strategies to work against existing
  •  disciplinary frameworks, including those drawn along national boundaries, historical periodization, and
  •  medium-specific approach to aesthetic/cultural objects?

Organized by Jie Li, Assistant Professor of East Asian Languages and Civilizations, Tomiko Yoda, Takashima

Professor of Japanese Humanities, and Alexander Zahlten, Associate Professor of East Asian Languages and

Civilizations, Harvard University
