The IACS Conference returns to South Korea after successful editions in Surabaya, Singapore, Dhaka, Shanghai, Bangalore, Tokyo and Taipei. The IACS So- ciety, which initiates the conferences, is proud to partner with Sunkonghoe University, which also hosts the IACS Con- sortium of Institutions, to organise “Worlding: Asia after/beyond Globalization”, between July 28 and July 30, 2017. Our colleagues at Sunkunghoe have done a brilliant job of putting this event together, and you’ll see evidence of their painstaking attention to detail in all the arrangements for the Conference. I look forward to meeting you all - old friends Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. and new. Have a wonderful stay in Seoul, and stay connected to the Inter-Asia network. On this hot summer day, I would like to express my utmost thankfulness to all of you who came from all over the world Warm wishes, to take part in 2012 Inter-Asia Cultural Studies Conference. Tejaswini Niranjana | Chair, Inter-Asia Cultural Studies Society It is particularly meaningful to have this year’s IACS Conference in Seoul since it is the thirtieth anniversary of the June Democratic Uprising and the Great Labor Struggle, which abolished the authoritarian regime in 1987. As if mirroring the past, Korea today is on the path to creating a new political society as a result of six months of peaceful candlelight protest. We are living in a world that is going through a profound disintegration of the postwar global political order. United States’ position as the world leader is in decline, whereas China is not prepared to be the heir of the throne yet. The world is de-centered and multi-centering. However, it is doubtful whether this new multi-centering world order would effectively handle the problems of colonialism, the Cold War and globalization. In this respect, we need to pay at- tention to the claims of anti-G20 protests in Hamburg earlier this month. They are clear evidence of routinization of cross-bordering alter-globalization movements from below. In this conjuncture of the crisis of global capitalism and the emerging possibility of anti-capitalist affective politics, it is crucial to call upon an inter-Asia perspective. An inter-Asia perspective would allow us to grasp the dynamics of region-making, as Asia as a region is always being constructed and renewed through overlaps and intersections of Good morning, traffics and movements between the familiar and unfamiliar.
