16. Call for Papers - (Abstract Submission Deadline September

and forward:
Regenerations: New Leaders, New Visions in Southeast Asia
November 11-12, 2005
Yale University Council on Southeast Asia Studies
http://www.yale.edu/seas/Conf05.htm
Faculty and graduate students working across the disciplines are invited to
submit papers that explore various aspects of modern Southeast Asia for a
conference at Yale University, November 11-12, 2005, exploring aspects of
social and political change in modern Southeast Asia
(specifically: Brunei, Burma / Myanmar, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos,
Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam).
The last decade has seen substantial change in leadership and governance in
countries across Southeast Asia, as newly elected leaders turn away from
policies of their predecessors to articulate novel visions and policies. We
propose to investigate these changes in panels organized around the
following themes:
-ASEAN Foreign Policy: New Approaches to China and the Rest of the World
-The Role of Southeast Asia in an Increasingly Globalizing World
-Religious Fundamentalism and Transnational Terrorism: A Growing Problem?
-Increased Transparency: Are New Leaders Bringing Government Closer to the
People?
-Contemporary History of Southeast Asia: How Did We Get Here?
We will also consider proposals for papers on other topics related to our
general theme.
An abstract of 500 words or less (describing the topic, key arguments, and
source materials) should be submitted along with curriculum vitae by
September 12, 2005. Authors of proposals which are accepted will be
notified by September 19, 2005, and should provide final papers to the
Organizing Committee by October 30. Papers should be in English, and have a
reading time of no more than 25 minutes.
In most cases, travel and lodging for presenters will be reimbursed.
Those interested in participating in the conference but not giving a paper
are encouraged to register. Registration forms, and additional conference
information are available on the Conference web site:

17. The Council on East Asian Studies at Yale University -
Korea Lecture Series
Wednesday, September 7, 2005
The A-semiotics and the A-history of Dictatorship: Examining Two Recent
South Korean Films about Park Chung Hee-era (1961-1979)
Kyung Hyun Kim, Associate Professor, Department of East Asian Languages and
Literatures, University of California-Irvine
4:30 PM, Room 312, Hall of Graduate Studies, 320 York Street
This paper seeks to analyze two recent South Korean films, The President's
Barber (Hyojadong Ibalsa, 2004) and The President's Last Bang (Kuttae ku
saramdul, 2005) that depict the historical period during which Park Chung
Hee ruled as a dictator. It considers how the particular kinds of
post-realist, multiplex-driven contemporary Korean cinema produce
simulations of history where the coherent unity of the sign constantly is
undermined. The paper's ultimate aim is to evaluate narrative cinema's
effectiveness in its dealing with public memory, fascism, and
self-referential modernist agenda.

Domestic violence affects all communities, rich and poor alike. In year
ending June 30, 2005, DVS served over 5,500 women, men and children in
all direct service programs--a 17% increase over last year. When 117
women and children had nowhere else to turn, DVS provided a safe place
where they could rest awhile, replenish their strength and chart a new
course for their lives. DVS also responded to 1,420 crisis calls on our
24-hour hotline, assisted with 3,942 cases of family violence referred
by the courts, and conducted 219 educational programs. These programs
include educating high school students to help them avoid getting
involved in abusive relationships and helping senior citizens find ways
to remain safe at home.
Please call me if you have any questions.
