SUMMARY:Who Belongs? Stories Against a Narrowing World
DESCRIPTION:Globally\, political and cultural forces are aligning to narrowly define national identities. Surging book bans\, the outlawing of languages\, the erasure of histories from official records\, and the censorship of words increasingly limit who belongs and delineate who is other. Literature subverts that.  \nFor the festival’s closing night event\, PEN America President Dinaw Mengestu will convene prominent international writers to discuss how literature champions a diversity of cultures and reflects the multiple heritages\, customs\, and traditions we all carry. Joining Mengestu in this vital conversation are Tash Aw (The South)\, Susan Choi (Flashlight)\, Patricia Smith (The Intentions of Thunder)\, and Madeleine Thien (The Book of Records).  \nCART caption is provided at this event. Captioning is being provided\, in part\, by a grant from NYSCA/TDF TAP Plus. \nFor ticketed events\, use PENPAL26 to receive a 20% discount.

SUMMARY:2026 Graduate Conference of Inter-Asian Perspectives Work Group: When is Asia Modern? Negotiating Borders of Modernisms
DESCRIPTION:Asian modern art has long been framed through a Western art-historical chronology\, locating its “beginning” in the late nineteenth to early twentieth century—precisely the moment of intensified encounters with the West and the imposition of Eurocentric models of modernity onto Asia. Recent scholarship across the humanities has begun to unsettle this timeline: some push the chronology backward to examine early articulations of Asian modernity in mercantile networks and imperial formations; others push it forward to engage shared global histories of the post\, i.e.\, postcolonial\, post-imperial\, post-socialist. To propose an alternative approach to thinking about Asia Modern\, we ask: how do Asian modernisms emerge through the negotiation of borders? Here\, borders may be understood as Cartographic Borders—those drawn and redrawn in nation-building\, imperial expansion\, or decolonization; Cultural Borders—those that define\, delimit\, or delegitimize certain formations of groups\, ideas\, practices\, etc.; and/or Aesthetic Borders—the negotiations of style\, medium\, and form that highlight\, contest\, or blur distinctions and affinities within and across artistic traditions. Rather than recasting the Euro-American centers as the primary axis through which these borders are negotiated\, we invite papers that consider intra-Asian encounters as sites of emerging Asian modernisms. By examining how these different borders are made\, crossed\, and reconfigured\, we collectively explore alternative imaginaries of the Asia Modern.
