> EXTENDED DEADLINE: JANUARY 20th
>
> We are currently seeking original academic papers on the theme of
> "deception". Establishing as our starting point the distinction
> between truth and falsehood, we are interested in the question of how and
> to what purposes that distinction might be intentionally blurred. We
> welcome contributions that discuss the human, and also non-human, faculty
> to deceive, as well as the human potential to be deceived. Deception can
> take the form of propaganda or a glance, an image or an utterance, a
> presence or an absence, a ploy or a pledge, an action or a silence. The
> question of deception invites a multitude of
> discussions: political, linguistic, artistic, cultural, historical,
> anthropological, philosophical, psychological, and many more besides. Thus
> we welcome papers from any and all disciplines willing and able to engage
> academically in the issues, intricacies, and illuminations of the topic of
> deception in an East Asian context, from the ways
> deception is defined and figured in East Asian societies and cultures, to
> the very workings of deception in the figuring and definition of East
> Asia.
>
> For those interested, we request that you provide an abstract (300 words
> maximum) as well as your personal and contact information by January 20,
> 2011. Submissions from both individuals and panels of
> three (panelists should send individual abstracts and a panel
> abstract) are encouraged.
>
> Submitted papers are also eligible for consideration for the East Asia
> Forum, a journal edited and published by graduate students in the
> Department of East Asian Studies at the University of Toronto. Please
> indicate whether you wish to have your completed paper considered for
> publication.
>
> Selected participants will be asked to submit completed papers by
> February 15, 2012. Those who wish their papers to be considered for
> publication should submit a publication-ready copy (about 4000 words) by
> March 31, 2012. During the conference, participants will be given 20
> minutes to present their work; actual presentation papers should be about
> 1500-2500 words long.
>
> Please e-mail submissions and queries to eas.gsc@utoronto.ca. Further
