Taiwan’s Cultural Studies Association (文化研究學會) is organizing “Transculturation: The 26th Annual International Conference of the Cultural Studies Association,” with ITSC as co-organizer, to be held at NTNU’s Gongguan Campus on March 7-8, 2026.
The conference will bring researchers from diverse fields to explore how culture continuously moves through and across language and sound, image and text, history and technology, ethnicity and media, and islands and worlds. The twin pillars of the Conference are the concepts of “trans,” referring to not just crossing but also the energy of dynamic changes, transitions, and regeneration, and “culturalization,” which emphasizes that the concepts and practices which make up culture are means and processes, not ends or goals in and of themselves, which are continually reshaped, recoded, hybridized, and intervened in.
Topics will include “International Island Voyage: Rewriting the Historical Memory and Transnational Experience of Taiwanese Literati,” “Transforming Space: The Dynamic Practice of Resource Frontiers, Landscape Governance, and Cultural Translation,” and “May the Indigenous Languages Be with You,” and many, many more.
