會議宗旨：
華人在東南亞區域（含中南半島）已有相當悠久之歷史淵源。早至中國宋代，即有福建人航向南洋諸國，唐代有閩粵人之南渡，明代則有鄭和下西洋。直至晚清時，有鴉片戰爭、太平天國之兵荒馬亂，又旱災重重，無數人經由英殖民之香港南下，定居南洋者日漸增加。長時期以來，東南亞一向被視為是中國朝貢體系之一環，故而被以核心-邊緣之角度而待之，當地華人直至今時仍常被認知為僑民，只單向認知其文化不過是中華文化的在時空上的單純延伸和輻射，忽略其他在地之文化交融的可能性。自二戰結束以來，東南亞各國歷經去殖民化和獨立之鬥爭，當地華人也參與其中富有多元族群文化共存之體驗，持各有所別之主體經驗。在此理解下，本中心擬籌辦「東南亞華人文化國際論壇：處境與展望」，期待能在會中見到華人文化相關議題在東南亞不同地區的多元呈現。本論壇預期圍繞下列議題展開：
1. 華人族群關係的多元經驗 （包含歷史、社會）
2. 華人的宗教信仰 （包含華人信仰的各種宗教）
3. 華人跨文化思想的視野（包含藝術、通俗文化、全球化）
General Descriptions:Ethnic Chinese has a long-time connection with the Southeast Asia historically, it can be traced back to the Song and Tang Dynasty, when the Chinese from Fujian (Hokkien) and Yue (Cantonese) began their voyages across the ocean towards Malay Archipelago/Nusantara and Mainland Southeast Asia. During the late Qing Dynasty, the Opium War, Taiping Rebellion and years of droughts had brought havoc, causing people to move south had grown on a large scale, moving through British occupied Hong Kong to Southeast Asia, and settling down there to survive. Since a long time, Southeast Asia had been included as one part of the tributary system of Chinese empires, and the local ethnic Chinese had been considered as overseas Chinese, which was resulted from the “Core-Periphery” understanding that the cultures of the local ethnic Chinese were only the one-way extension and radiation from China, neglecting the influences from other local cultures. However, the perspective mentioned above has been out of touch with realities. After the end of the Second World War, local Chinese had been participating in the waves of the independence movement and decolonization actively. They are experiencing the plurality and co-living with other ethnics and cultures, producing their own experience of subjectivity. The Research Center of Chinese Cultural Subjectivity is planning to hold “International Forum on Ethnic Chinese Cultures in Southeast Asia: Contexts and Prospects,” we hope to learn of the various perspectives concerning how the Chinese cultures grown in different soils from the Southeast Asian areas. We hence purpose the following sub-titles for the forum:
1. Experiences in inter-ethnic relations of Ethnic Chinese in Southeast Asia (Including Social Studies, History)
2. Religions of Ethnic Chinese in Southeast Asia (Including Religion that Ethnic Chinese believe in)
3. Intercultural Perspectives of Ethnic Chinese in Southeast Asia (Including Arts, Popular Cultures, and Globalization)
