ANNOUNCEMENT:
SECOND ANNUAL CONFERENCE “FORMAL” AND “INFORMAL” CENTRAL ASIA: INSTITUTIONS,
IDENTITIES AND DISCOURSES, AMERICAN UNIVERSITY IN CENTRAL ASIA, BISHKEK , KYRGYZSTAN
The first
annual conference of the Central Asian Studies Institute at AUCA initiated
discussion on the state of scholarship on and in Central
Asia . The second conference continues a discourse on how we make
sense of the region by taking the alleged boundary between “formal” and
“informal” Central Asia as a starting point.
As the terms themselves are being hotly debated elsewhere, this conference
firstly encourages scholars to look at the nature, scale and legitimacy of such
a binary division. It then calls for the deeper analysis of “formal” and
“informal” institutions and identities, which are believed to be of key
importance in understanding the processes of socio-political and cultural
transformation in the region. How have the Central Asian states succeeded in
establishing themselves as legitimate power institutions? How should one
account for the variations and similarities among Central Asian states and
societies in the development of state and non-state institutions and in the
construction of their national and local identities? To what extent do the
family and kinship based socio-cultural identities remain important in
determining the politics in the region? Whether and how have the twenty years
of independent statehood transformed regional institutions and identities, and
what are the implications for the years to come? Finally, if the concepts of
“formal” and “informal” are questioned, what other alternative discourses can
be employed to create richer and more complex understanding of the region?
The Central
Asian Studies Institute aims to bring together scholars from various
disciplines whose active research projects address these and related issues.
The conference will take place at the American
University of Central
Asia on September 28-29,
2012. CASI will have a limited number of travel grants. Applicants who need
travel assistance should additionally submit a short online form available at http://tinyurl.com/8y5fgxt
We encourage
both paper and panel submissions. The paper proposals should include a) a
500-word outline of the proposed paper, with a clear title, and b) a short
biographical note of the author. Panel proposals should ideally include three
papers and have a clearly formulated panel theme. CASI aims to publish the
conference materials, so full papers (4,500-6,000 words) will need to be
submitted before the conference.
Conference Timeline:
·
April 25, 2012 – early deadline for proposals
(priority will be given to these applicants in consideration for travel grants)
·
May 14, 2012 – regular deadline for proposals
·
May 29, 2012 – notification of acceptance
·
September 01, 2012 – submission of full papers
·
September 28-29, 2012 – conference at AUCA,
Bishkek
All proposals
and queries should be addressed to casi@mail.auca.kg. For more about AUCA and the Institute, please
