Literary and cultural scholars from SEA and elsewhere are invited to explore how writers use forms of tra vel and circulation like migration, tourism, pilgrimages, labor flows etc. to inform and articulate particular subjectivities and group identities. Hi stories of movement and unequal mobilities are usually central to territori alized and deterritorialized forms of identity, and to the related notions of indigeneity, nationalism and minority cultures. Participants may examine literary and creative engagements with involuntary modes of travel or disp lacement such as exile, refugee crises, or the historical formation of dias poras that result from colonialism, war, political persecution or natural d isasters.\n\nAttempts to theorize non-landbased histories and narratives th at problematize the nation-state, re-directing critical attention to the se a as the space and medium for connecting diverse peoples, cultures, languag es, religions are welcome. Besides the movement of people, representations of the circulation of objects (e.g books, commodities) as well as flora and fauna could offer alternative perspectives that add to a more nuanced unde rstanding of the multiple movements which help define the SEA region as an area of contact zones and ecological exchange. Participants are also invite d to re-think metaphors of mobility and the symbolic significance of moveme nt in literature in relation to possible conceptual frames like inter-Asia, Nanyang, the Malay World, postcolonialism, decoloniality, transnationalism , transculturalism, ecocriticism, feminism, diaspora, and cosmopolitanism, to name a few.\n\nSome possible questions for the laboratory:\n• How do various forms of travel, flow, and movement as depicted in SEA literatures contribute to a sense of nationalism, transnationalism or regionalism?\n• What gets translated and/or transformed in the process of movement?\n• What sorts of narrative and poetic strategies do SEA writers use to exp ress flow, stasis, connectivity, fluidity, (im)mobility?\n• What affect ive modalities are explored by SEA writers when human characters and/ or ob jects and commodities move across borders and spaces? What, conversely, are the sorts of immobilities which define such movement?\n• What is the r elationship between movement and cultural identities in Southeast Asia? How does travel and movement affect the axes of identity like gender, race, cl ass, and sexuality?
