A one-day symposium focusing on research in Asian-Australian cultures and cultural production
28 June 2005, Monash University, Clayton Campus, Melbourne

This symposium, focusing on research in Asian-Australian cultures and cultural production, is particularly interested in the ways in which ‘Asian-Australian’ has developed as a concept and/or field since the publication of Alter/Asians and Diaspora: Negotiating Asian-Australia (both published in 2000).

What forms of Asian-Australian cultural production have taken place and how are they positioned? How have communities of Asian descent in Australia negotiated cultural, political and community spaces? Papers addressing East and South Asian-Australian contexts are welcome.

Themes
• Asian-Australian cultural production (including literature, film, performance, and the visual arts)
• Negotiating Asian-Australian identities
• The Politics of Asian-Australian representation
