The theme for The Fourteenth Biennial Symposium on Literature and Culture in the Asia-Pacific Region is the Era of the Digital Revolution.
The Symposium will be held from 4 to 7 December, 2011 at The University of Western Australia.
The Registration Form and Information Sheet is now available here .
This Symposium seeks to investigate the implication of the global digital revolution for the literature and culture of the Asia-Pacific region.
Issues to be addressed may include:
- Does this digital revolution herald easier publishing and reading or greater domination by major publishing houses?
- Does it promise further democratisation of reading and writing or greater domination by developed countries and established institutions?
- Will it encourage greater interaction among the literatures and cultures of the region?
- How will studies of the literatures of the region maintain any sense of the cultures' distinctive identities?
Further Information can be found at the Westerly Centre Website.
