How do media connect and form extensive ecosystems? What tensions emerge between newer media practices
We invite you to join us at the East Asian Media Studies conference on May 6 & 7 to discuss these and other
- 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?
