"Humour in ASEAN" International Conference4 - 5 August 2010

Department of English, the Faculty of Arts, Chulalongkom UniversityIn Corporation with the Humanities Research Forum

The Thailand Research Fund (TRF)

RationaleThe "Language, Literature and Culture in ASEAN" International Conference

organized by the Faculty of Arts, Chulalongkorn University to commemorate the fortiethanniversary of the establishment of ASEAN from 4 - 5 August 2008, has laid the basis foranother international conference of a more specific theme, aiming to create another platformfor academics and interested individuals to present their research on specific topics related tothe ten ASEAN members and their people.

Humour is a person's characteristic disposition, which is shared by people in theASEAN Region and is found in various discourses-in their messages, uses of language, andstyles of presentation including the nonverbal like pictures or other art forms. While worksinvolving humour tend to be taken lightly as mere entertainment, close observations on themoften reveal deeper meanings hidden beneath the amusing facade. Humour is frequently usedto satirise certain truths in society one cannot openly criticise or to mock the vices one cannotdirectly expose. Humour can turn bad situations into positive ones or at least help make themost intolerable circumstance more bearable. Humour may cause laughter, but it also revealsan ability to comically convey life's absurdities. Ultimately, in many cases, the sources ofguffaws themselves actually laugh-unwittingly or not-at their own flaws and foibles.

The organisers of this conference believe that the diversity in race, language, history,belief and culture of the ASEAN countries can help reflect the richness of humour in theregion. It is also hoped that this assembly of researchers, academics and interested individualswill contribute to the exchange of ideas and the better understanding of art, as well as theroles and functions of humour, which may eventually lead to the application of humour torelieve conflicts at the personal, communal, national and regional levels.

This international conference aims to serve as an arena for researchers and interestedindividuals, mainly from within Thailand and the ASEAN region, to present their worksengaging the theme of humour.

Objectives1. To serve as an international platform for specialists, academics, students and those

interested in ASEAN to present their research works on humour in the media, art, literature,cartoon and other forms of presentation in the region.

2. To analyse, compare and contrast humour in different social and cultural contextsin the ASEAN region.

3. To bring forward the connection between humour, culture, identity and race bothwithin and outside the ASEAN region.

4. To strengthen the humanities research network in Thailand, as well as networkswithin and outside the ASEAN region.
