On the Indian and Pacific Oceans, Fremantle, Western Australia, 12-15 December 2006:
-Navigation and Commerce: patterns, methods, technologies
-Diffusion of Ideas: transfer of political, religious, cultural, and social ideas, including revolts, labor movements, technologies, missionary work, etc
-Imperial Structures: alternative means of conceptualizing power and authority, models and patterns of rule
-Archaeology: recent excavations or surveys germane to any portion of the regions
-Migration: including permanent settlement, itinerant movement, patterns of labor diffusion
-Cartography: development of cartographic technologies, exchanges and transfer of information, conceptualizations of the land- and sea-scapes
-Periodizations and Perceptions of the areas: the development of an Indian-Pacific narrative(s)
We welcome submissions that afford both narrow and broad perspectives, and hope the conference as a whole can contribute towards the creation of viable definitions of the regions’s histories. Can we speak of an Indian Ocean Basin and a Pacific Basin in the way scholars have construed types of coherence for the Mediterranean and Atlantic worlds? What, furthermore, are the possible links between these two basins?
Due Date: April 15th, 2006
