Papers that are concerned with the movement of texts and ideas across borders or between East and West, as well as the translation of traditional literary works into popular literary or cinematic expressions, or the impact of globalization upon the dissemination of popular culture are welcome, but submissions need not be limited to them.  New comparative research on any period of East Asian Literature and/or Film welcome.  Please submit a proposal of no more than 250 words by March 1, 2011.
