Call for Papers:\u00a0\u00a0International Conference on Tainan Area Studies<\/p>\n
\u201cPolitical, Economic and Cultural Development of the Early Tainan Region (10th-18th Century),\u201d 20-21\u00a0October 2017<\/p>\n
The Tainan area prides itself on being an historical, political and economic center with a cultural background. This identity defines the distinct lifestyles, customs, beliefs, and ideologies that makes Tainan an integral part of Taiwanese society. The theme of this conference highlights the early political, economic and cultural development in this region (10th\u201318th\u00a0century). How can we envision the Tainan region as a center and crossroad for indigenous trade, religious, and cultural networks? What are the academic challenges in exploring some of the linkages between the island\u2019s prehistory and indigenous Formosan (aboriginal) society juxtaposed with the subsequent Han migration and its settlement patterns? Of particular interest are topics that emphasize how the localization of these cultural encounters generated (or not) a unique blend of historical circumstances that characterize the Tainan area, past and present.<\/p>\n
