7th EuroSEAS Conference (Lisbon, Portugal, 2-5 July 2013
PANEL 11 - COLONIAL AND NATIONAL RACIALIZATIONS IN SOUTHEAST ASIA
DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACTS: 30 November 2012
During the past three decades there has been increasing
interest in the production and circulation of racial science for the
construction of colonial and national regimes. Race concepts, taxonomies, and
varied forms of racism have been constitutive of nineteenth and
twentieth-century Western colonial regimes in Southeast Asia; but they may also
appear as an enduring phenomenon that can pervade post-colonial nationalisms in
the region. We envisage this panel as exploring how one racializes oneself or
is racialized by others in a variety of settings, including the production of
pure or originary identities and mixed or hybrid identities. The panel seeks
papers that will focus on one or more of the following topics in Southeast
Asia:
(i) emergence and uses of racial sciences in
late-colonial contexts;
(ii) legacies and significance of racial science in
processes of nation-building, (iii) indigenous and anti- colonial interactions
with racial conceptions and formations.
