This conference aims to explore the enormous transversal potential of Agamben’s work by staging its transdisciplinary and transcultural dimensions. It is open to non-specialists (“specialization” defined here in relation to both Asia and Agamben) from any discipline interested in the mix and mutation of Asia and Agamben as a platform for transcultural investigation. ****For the complete CFP and further information, please visit the conference website: http://www.concentric-literature.url.tw/AgambenConference/ ****Abstracts should be sent to conference2013@gmail.com.
