Rediscovering Southeast Asia Amidst its Multi-layered Burdens

Virtual Conference
Universitas Gadjah Mada
October 4-5, 2021

THE CONFERENCE

Southeast Asian studies have been matured in Western centres and have evolved considerably in the scholarly literature on international relations which continue seeing Southeast Asia as an un(differentiated) object of study. In response, even given the fact that no other region on the globe is more diverse than Southeast Asia, against external forces, Southeast Asian member countries have agreed to establish ASEAN — the Association of Southeast-East Asian Nations — community in 1967. Hence, it encounters rough roads in realizing a greater regional integration with its own considerable staggering problems and domestic fluctuations. To name a few, Asian Economic Community (AEC) is at its critical crossroads, ASEAN also has limited success due to its own non-interference norm and has its institutional nadir in political and security environment towards Myanmar coup and Thailand Junta shaping and slipping democracy into crisis.

Southeast Asia Conference on Media, Cinema and Art 2021 calls for scholars and multiple participants to present their current works on the umbrella topic “Rediscovering Southeast Asia Amidst Its Multi-layered Burdens”.
