For the 2016 International Conference of ISEAS/BUFS
To be held on 27 May 2022 and hosted by:
Institute for Southeast Asian Studies (ISEAS),
Busan University of Foreign Studies (BUFS),
Busan 46234, South Korea


Conference Theme:
Revisiting and Reconstructing Southeast Asian Characteristics


Since 2009, the ISEAS/BUFS has been involved in a research project sponsored by the National Research Foundation of Korea. The umbrella agenda of the research project is “The Recognition and Construction of Southeast Asia as a Holon”.

The first phase (September 2009 – August 2012) focused on “Outer Civilizations and Infra-Culture of Southeast Asia” and the second phase (September 2012 – August 2015) on “Regional Characteristics of Southeast Asia and Inter-Regional Comparative Studies”.

We have just entered into the third phase of the research project (September 2015 – August 2019). In light of the past two phases, the third phase will attempt to put together the epistemological approaches to Southeast Asia that have been recognized during the past two phases, to come up with alternative methodologies for Southeast Asian Studies. In this regard, the next two years (2015 – 2017) will focus on “Revisiting and Reconstructing Southeast Asian Characteristics” and the following two years (2017 – 2019) will concentrate on “Methodological Quests for Southeast Asian Studies”.

The 2016 International Conference of ISEAS/BUFS invites scholars who are interested in the research agenda “Revisiting and Reconstructing Southeast Asian Characteristics”. Papers may be written on a broad range of humanities and social sciences. Papers on the following sub-themes are particularly welcomed:

1. Unique characteristics of Southeast Asia
2. (Re-)localization of outer civilizations in Southeast Asia
3. Contemporary hybridization, reconstruction and transformation of Southeast Asian Characteristics
4. Cross-cultural perspectives of Southeast Asia Characteristics
5. Methodological issues in reconstructing Southeast Asian characteristics
