New Civilizationisms in Asia

The New Civilizationisms in Asia roundtable is part of a larger international collaboration organized by Stanford University and the University of Gottingen.

In the past two decades, there has been a world-wide resurgence of discourses that define the people in terms of their unique civilizational identity and call for states to refurbish their timeless civilizational glory. These discourses, or "new civilizationisms" as we call them, both draw on and react against an older, Enlightenment-inspired, and Eurocentric notion of civilization.

Repatriate:00

"Repatriate:00" is a debut of Kalen Wing Ki Lee's artistic practice on notion and experience of emotional migration in the thick of movements of body, desire, human geography, sovereignty and ideology through visual and textual critique of identity politics. Through image and text, sound and speech, and micro-narratives from personal archive, public sphere and in-situ experiences, Kalen would like to speak to you-a double-colonised (hence aspiring) decolonial personal call.
