Information:
The
conference is organized around the theme of the commodification
of people, resources, and the environment in the making of modern
Southeast Asia. The question that animates this conference theme
is: "What are the difference and similarities between production
regimes of 'old' and 'new' commodities in the region?" Papers
may address any of the various dimensions of the political-economy
or cultural politics of "natural" commodities including
commodified bodies, agricultural or environmental resources,
and land, such as the evolving spatial relations of production,
changes in labor regimes/processes, issues of gender, race, ethnicity,
and citizenship as they relate to the commodification process,
violence (broadly defined) and resource production, or the reemergence
of land reform in regional and national politics.
Established scholars and graduate students in agrarian studies,
environmental studies, geography, history, sociology, anthropology,
and political science are especially encouraged to apply. The
conference organizers hope to select a subset of the papers
for inclusion in an edited volume or an appropriate guest-edited
journal. Some funds may be available for travel.
