Cultural Typhoon 2020 (CT2020) will be held in Nagasaki on June 27 –
28, 2020. It offers a great opportunity to discuss mobilities and
exchanges of people, information, and knowledge in the age of
globalization.</p><p class=""> The Port of Nagasaki has been historically called
“Crane Port” because the shape of the port looks like a crane with
spread wings.</p><p class=""> Nagasaki, with its Crane Port, has historically
been a point of transit, hosting departures and arrivals between Japan
and East Asia, including Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, the Korean
Peninsula; Southeast Asia; and Europe, particularly Portugal and The
Netherlands.</p><p class=""> Nagasaki’s various foods, lifestyles, festivals,
architecture, and urban landscape evidence cultural exchange through
this transit of people, goods, and ideas. While no cranes can be found
living in Nagasaki, it is indeed a “city of cranes”—that is, a city of
mobility, which is aptly embodied in the migratory bird—where people,
goods, culture, and knowledge move across national borders.</p><p class=""> To
think about the history of Nagasaki is also to (re)consider the history
of mobilities of human beings and our transnational cultural exchange,
and narratives of industrialization and modernization. Cultural exchange
with China and Korea over the centuries; the propagation and
suppression of the Christian faith; the import of modern Western
scientific knowledge as well as philosophy and literature; the
development of modern shipbuilding as part of military and naval
modernization; the coal mining industry’s industrialization and the
ferrying of resources;, the immigration and, at times, exploitation of
workers at sites close to the Nagasaki Port like Gunkanjima; and the
devastation brought by war in the form of the atomic bomb dropped on
Nagasaki at the end of the WWII—such phenomena have left a unique
impression on the culture of Nagasaki.</p><p class=""> CT2020 is will be held at
University of Nagasaki’s Siebold Campus. The name of the campus comes
from the German physician and botanist who founded a private school,
Narutaki Juku, where he taught Western science, medicine in particular,
during the Edo Period (1603 – 1868).</p><p class=""> The Association for Cultural
Typhoon (ACT, Japan) is calling for proposals for panels and individual
papers for the 2020 annual conference to be held at Siebold Campus,
University of Nagasaki, Nagasaki, from June 27–28, 2020.</p><p class=""> The deadline for application: 31st December, 2019, Japan time 23:00.</p><p class=""> See the details here:</p><p class=""> <a href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fcultural-typhoon.com%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR2pvlD9ZvPRRlj3CueomCmSu0z9EFDz5Q6uE3iPIgWYOqLmEkeMMBRdDxk&h=AT2lY_4krmWFcnuMH6OzArabL6suDRy9fDaW4i2V1V98Bxuj55UI5ou6q_YMTZ2mjxylFilwls5bb0dspJ0he4u4hPGnR_thLbrLepn1w13jCg2aG5qG-sKogIaFGW1m5cMFtOnCp--6wSkjrgqhBiIrnES6KmYwPw" target="_blank" data-ft="{"tn":"-U"}" rel="noopener nofollow" data-lynx-mode="asynclazy" class="">http://cultural-typhoon.com</a>/</p><p class=""> What is Cultural Typhoon?<br class=""> <a href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fcultural-typhoon.com%2Fact%2Fen%2Fwhats-cultural-typhoon%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR2dCDWTtDcMZnMeccGv3BgdIdWkKqcUiYLJSzBa3N5ifRSLOe3u7N9Q8AA&h=AT1uOzzZpdOcIwBSvCMm4UDQUugl5NPf2JvqMQN3CCpF5Dyb9uQS0s_LG5qgCg6YaYB8KuaToKCKQHtA2fH_qYzVnF9NQWtWs3X9HrSYpvXCz1jdb5VKjU4gxATcTYPqZXBUVTmhH2NFmS9TyjLPWtMsFBzOtXnXzQ" target="_blank" data-ft="{"tn":"-U"}" rel="noopener nofollow" data-lynx-mode="asynclazy" class="">http://cultural-typhoon.com/act/en/whats-cultural-typhoon/</a></p></div><br class=""><br class=""><div class="">
