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.
