SUMMARY:Borders, Thresholds, Barriers in Japan
DESCRIPTION:1st Swiss Asia Society Japan Conference\n\nVenue: PHIL211 Room,
  Philosophes Building, 22 Boulevard des Philosophes, 1205 Geneva\n\nSteerin
 g Commitee: Prof. Dr. Raji Steineck (University of Zurich), Prof. Dr. Simon
 e Müller (University of Zurich), Prof. Dr. David Chiavacci (University of Z
 urich), Prof. Dr. Claire-Akiko Brisset (University of Geneva)\n\nBorders, t
 hresholds, barriers have multiple meanings: social, literary, political, ph
 ilosophical, economic, religious. Movements come to a halt at them or start
  from them, are slowed down, diverted, or break through; developments peter
  out or enter a new phase, some involuntarily, others consciously accompani
 ed and brought into a certain form. Boundaries can be found, but more often
  they are set. Thresholds and barriers in the literal sense are such design
 s of boundaries, they should be passable, but also restrict movement, enabl
 e their monitoring and regulation. Borders, thresholds, and barriers are al
 so locations and occasions for pausing, reflecting, and expressing what is 
 at stake in the movement or its prevention, or even the space that is inclu
 ded or excluded and its possibilities.\n\n Borders, thresholds, and barrier
 s are the subject of discussion in fields from migration and economic polic
 y to poetry, from anthropology to art history, and gained new salience rece
 ntly as matters of public health.\n\n Our workshop, itself an attempt to ov
 ercome language barriers as well as the boundaries of different research fi
 elds and methods, would like to explore the differences as well as their in
 terrelationships and thereby create new connections.\n\nFurther information
