"Innovation: East Asian Perspectives” is an international and multi-disciplinary conference that aims to explore the modern period in East Asia—centered on Korea—through the keyword “innovation.” Innovation has functioned as an ideal of enlightenment, a grammar of practice that has propelled Western modernity and underpinned a powerful “civilization and enlightenment” movement in East Asia aimed at both identifying with and at the same time actively developing a new spatial stance against the West. "Innovation" provides insight into the debate on East Asian particularity in relation to universal modernity, and provides a framework for understanding diverse discourses (political, literary, technological, linguistic, and so on) and movements into the present day, including nationalism, capitalism, socialism, communism, democracy and imperialism, all of which ground themselves in a self-justifying grammar of innovation and ideologies of change, revolution, or liberation. This conference proposes to call innovation into question as a means of not only understanding the modern era in Korea and East Asia but of striking a critical stance toward modernity itself.
