Call for Papers "Sharing a Future in Asia" 5th International Convention of Asia Scholars (ICAS 5) Institute of Occidental Studies (IKON) Institute of Malay World and Civilization (ATMA) Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) 2-5 August 2007 __________________________________________________ "Sharing a Future in Asia" is the overarching theme of ICAS 5. Asia is often proclaimed as the fastest growing region in the world today. This is in spite of the fact that nearly a billion of its population is still living in poverty. It is Asias resilience in the face of extreme adversities and its ability to rise above and overcome the challenge of dividedness and differences that has enhanced the global perception that it is a region of hope and prosperity for everyone, both from inside and outside Asia, to participate and share. Thus ICAS 5 Kuala Lumpur provides a timely opportunity to examine and elaborate critically this possibility. Panels at ICAS 5 are categorised into the following Sub-Themes/Disciplines: - Arts, Culture and Heritage - Development and Urbanization - Documentation, Resource Management and Technology - Economy, Business and Law - Environment and Energy - History - Knowledge and Philosophy - Language and Literature - Media and Communication - Politics and International Relations - Religion - Society and Identity - Welfare and Health Important Dates Deadline for individual panel abstracts submission: 15 November 2006 Confirmation of selected abstracts/papers and visa letters for both individual panels will be sent out by (to be announced): 15 December 2006 Deadline for organized and institutional panels submission: 15 December 2006 Confirmation of organized and institutional panels and visa letters will be sent out by: 15 February 2007 Conference Website: http://www.icassecretariat.org/icas5/ __________________________________________________ InterPhil List Administration: http://interphil.polylog.org Intercultural Philosophy Calendar: http://cal.polylog.org
