Month: December 2018

Sayings like ‘nothing is accidental’ and ‘things happen for a reason’ makes perfect sense in my case. Looking back at my career – which spans various continents, countries, and institutions – I realise that it has been shaped, to a large extent, by chance encounters that have taken place in the context of social gatherings. There is a certain logic to such developments, though, and it is one that may be worthwhile to extrapolate on.

This workshop will discuss the importance of networking in career development. It will be presented in free form, as discussion, and it will aim to give concrete tips that go beyond the advice to attend the field-specific conference in your fields. It is designed for postgraduate students in the humanities at large.

NANG is a biannual print-only magazine dedicated to cinema and cinema culture in the Asian world. Launched in 2016, each and every issue of NANG is structured around a specific theme and created in collaboration with a unique group of guest editors and contributors based both within and outside Asia. This talk will first chart some of the main elements of this independent publishing project—giving particular emphasis to its aim and scope and, more broadly, to the dialogues between cinema and the printed page—and will then move to discuss the fifth issue of NANG, which is centred around the theme of “Inspiration.”
