> This panel proposes to examine the neoliberal forms of development

> popular responses to these. Neoliberalism itself has been defined as a
> class project fundamentally whereby the capitalist classes or their
> representatives have attempted to use various types of resources--
> economic, social, political and cultural--to enhance capital
> accumulation. This panel seeks to present studies from various contexts in
> South Asia that, based on empirical examination of specific local/
> regional/national processes of development in the 'neoliberal era', would
> contribute to expanding the above stated general theoretical
> understanding. Given that development is an encompassing concept, this
> panel doesn't intend to restrict papers to any particular 'sub-theme'.
> However, as a point of reference, research papers could include
> 'sub-themes' such as practices of development, role of civil society,
> class conflict, resource use etc.

> In recent years, the city of Shanghai has become an integral hub for
> Asia's burgeoning art and photography worlds. With a rich multicultural
> and cosmopolitan history that blends the East and West, Shanghai offers a
> unique portal into Chinese civilization that frames the city as the
> embodiment of China's future.
>
> This is the vibrant and exciting venue for The School of Visual Arts'
> Digital Photography Residency, a unique four week program headed by H-
> Asia member and SVA professor Abby Robinson that emphasizes the
> exploration of Shanghai and encourages the integration of Western and
> Eastern photographic practices. Participants engage with the Shanghai art
> community and have individual and group critiques, with the goal of seeing
> their world and their work from a more global perspective. Along with an
> intimate investigation of Shanghai's contemporary art world, there are
> individual portfolio reviews by prominent members of Shanghai's
> photography community that provide the opportunity to share ideas and
> network with curators and gallery owners as well as colleagues.
>
> The June 4-July 2 program offers the opportunity and freedom for
> participants to expand their body of work in a new and increasingly
> relevant context and gain a more profound understanding of art practices
> and photographic content, form, color, context, taste and limits.
> Shanghai's rich history, booming economy, worldwide artistic presence and
> interweaving of Western ideas with Chinese traditions, makes it the
> perfect city for an enlightening, productive and exciting summer
> experience.
>
