IIIrd International Complutense Congress on East Asia: Daily life in Asia

IIIrd International Complutense Congress on East Asia: Daily life in Asia

Complutense University of Madrid. October, 16th-20th, 2023. (Hybrid)

In the different Asian cultures there are sayings such as 物の哀れ (mono no aware, Japan) or 及时行乐 (Jí shí xíng lè, China), alluding to ideas understood by Greco-Latin cultures as pathos, carpe diem, lacrimae rerum, collige virgo roses… To sum up, they are talking about a tribute to life, to enjoy the moment, to appreciate the ephemeral. We want to dedicate our III East Asia International Congress to those customary experiences, the daily, the habits and to the day-to-day life in Asia.  Thus, we open this Call for Contributions, as always, making a call to all Asian areas and open to all research approaches, as long as they involve a hint of daily life. The congress will be held at the Complutense University of Madrid during the week of October 16th to 20th, 2023, and participation can be both in-site and virtual.  It is compulsory to submit a draft of the proposal (5 pages, bibliography included). Once the congress is over, participants will be able to modify the draft on demand to have it published in the Journal of the East Asian Studies Area (REAO). https://linktr.ee/vidacotidianaenasia
