ABOUT

This special one-day symposium on Saturday 2 June 2007 explores the ways in which the concepts Asia and New Zealand, Asian and New Zealander are being challenged and modified in contemporary art, music, literature, theatre, television, and film. The seminar addresses both the role that Asian New Zealanders are playing in contemporary New Zealand culture and the increasing importance of Asian culture and representations of Asia in New Zealand arts and literature as a whole.

A Special Edition of the New Zealand Journal of Asian Studies (to be published in June 2008) will be devoted to selected papers from the symposium, as well as those by invited contributors.
