SOUTHEAST ASIAN THINKSHOP: THE QUESTION OF WORLD CULTURE
SSH-Net Thinkshops and IFSSO (International Federation of Social Sciences Organization) have been held in several places, including Turkey, Argentina, Mexico and Iran, to mention a few, to serve as venues for three main matters: (1) The lecture on social and humanities theories with the presentation of papers and discussion of relevant contemporary issues in social sciences and humanities in the world; (2) Exchange of information on activities of institution/individual members of SSH-Net; and (3) Initiating and forming collaborations among member institutions/individuals. The themes of the thinkshops have varied in accordance with, at the time, crucial topic, either in a particular region or the world.
To take advantage of the World Culture Forum in Bali in October 2016, the SSH- Net Thinkshop will be held on 9-10 September 2016, in Bali, Indonesia and be orginised by the SSH-Net in collaboration with the Gianyar Regency and The Center for Bali Studies (Pusat Kajian Bali), Udayana University and History Study Program, Faculty of Cultural Sciences of Udayana University, under the title: SOUTHEAST ASIAN THINKSHOP: THE QUESTION OF WORLD CULTURE. As it has been widely debated that globalisation has impacted on various problems of culture with the whole world encountering similar problems: from Europe to Asia. For example, the question of existing “pure” or “authentic” cultures has been problematic even in the so-called homogenous nations, like South Korea or Japan. There are many more cultural problems, ranging from the rise of multicultural society and its management; overlapping of cultural heritages in neighbouring countries; development of heritage cultures to become smart cities; questions of local culture and universal culture; identification of local identities; contesting cultural identities; and, national identity.
It is in relation to such issues that the Thinkshop is expected to develop better understanding of world culture issues and to pave the way for social scientists to contribute to these issues. The 2016 Thinkshop will be held in the following venues: Universitas Udayana and Gianyar Regency Office, Gianyar, Bali. Therefore, we would like to invite participation of academics and bureaucrats from universities and government officials to speak in plenary sessions.
