As mobile internet emerges as the primary mediating technology within South East Asia, new modes of currency, commodity and exchange are transforming our everyday experience of markets across the region. The rise of online shopping is re-ordering space and socialities within neighbourhoods and cities, and transforming intra-regional trade and power relations. New entertainment economies, their associated contents and user behaviours are engendering new modes of popular culture. Emerging platform economies initiate novel opportunities and contestations within the international division of labour. The affordances of digital technologies lend new forms of visibility to struggles for human and citizen rights, as well as enabling transactional forms of politics and religion. This conference considers the instances and processes through which new sets of social, economic and political transactions are being established between markets and publics, citizens and states, cultures and commodities in a Digital Asia.
The reconfiguration of social, cultural, economic and political relationships in parallel with the pervasive application of digital technologies has been regarded as an epochal shift in the Western world. In contemporary Asia, the breathtaking rapidity and scale of digitisation provides us with an even greater remaking and reinvigorating of human relationships. This is an era where rapid commercial growth across the region proceeds in tandem with the spread of digital media devices. For ordinary people, social media platforms offer new economic opportunities along with the monetisation of the personal and the everyday. In the public domain, Asian state systems are having to contend with explosions of popular expression, public debate and political mobilisation, even as these activities are highly contested and contestable. Asian markets are increasingly determined by flows of virtual capital, information commodities, consumers and labour. In this context, it is increasingly evident that the rise of a Digital Asia is accompanied by new aspirations and understandings of modernisation, participation and development.

Format Our 2019 conference will include two full days of presentations for a public audience 20-21st November 2019, followed by a research workshop on 22nd November. Following the format of previous events, we will present a day of presentations from across Asia, followed by a day of presentations focused upon our host region of South East Asia. Paper presenters will join a third day of workshops on critical methodological, theoretical and logistical issues for Digital Asia researchers.
Digital Transactions in Asia: Economic, Social and Informational Exchanges
Digital Transactions in Asia2019 •
This book presents a comprehensive overview of transactional forms of the digital across Asia by studying the platforms and infrastructures that shape the digital experience. It provides a definitive account of the core features of the ways the digital economy in Asia is transforming everyday lives. Transactional relations between digital media platforms and new forms of sociability are remediating social relationships for the digital age. In capturing the digital revolution through case studies from across the larger Asian region, the book offers a richly contextualised and comparative account that firmly situates the frontiers of the digital within the Asian experience.

The Asian region is passing through a period of unprecedented social and economic change, and digital transaction platforms operate at the centre of these processes. Transaction platforms take a number of forms, including point of sale payment apps, money transfer services, trading platforms, micro credit apps and the multi-faceted exchange mechanisms built into retail, service and social media platforms. The capture of transactional processes within platform ecosystems actively converges social, economic, and cultural exchanges in novel ways. Transactional cultures are thus a fundamental building block in the transformation of Asian societies since, in adopting digital systems, localised communities adapt their transactional cultures in line with their own environments, means and norms.

Digital Transactions in Asia
Digital Transactions in Asia V, ICISE Quy Nhon, Vietnam, 21-22nd February 2024 - Programme and Public Registration2024 •
In adopting digital systems, local communities and users adapt transactional affordances in line with their own environments, means and norms. As a consequence, the embedding and acculturation of digital transactions is a critical factor in the digital transformation in Asian societies, making culture a key determinant of transactional relationships. In our first post-COVID physical conference, Digital Transactions in Asia V seeks to take stock of the acceleration of digital transactions during and after the pandemic, exploring the many ways in which everyday fintech has made lasting changes to the social, cultural and economic landscapes of Asia. We invite paper submissions from researchers across all disciplines working on the past, present and future of Digital Transactions in Asia.
Asiascape: Digital Asia
Revisiting the Emancipatory Potential of Digital Media in Asia – Introduction to the Inaugural Issue of Asiascape: Digital Asia2014 •
2017 •
This introduction to the fourth special issue of Asiascape: Digital Asia discusses the complex interactions between technology and society in the context of ‘digital Asia’. The special issue is drawn from contributions to a conference held in May 2016 titled ‘Digital Disruption in Asia: Methods and Issues’. Inspired by the idea that the use of digital technologies is shaking up some major political and economic institutions, the conference aimed to see whether some of the same processes were playing out across Asia. But while the wording of its title focused on the impact of digital technologies in Asian societies, what emerged were much more complex stories detailing the different ways the technologies are used in their offline contexts. This introduction traces these stories, identifying some common elements of digitality that range from constant connectivity, to mobility, speed, and the potential to break down social and even disciplinary boundaries.

Conference Coordinator: Roshni Susana Verghese, roshnisusana@gmail.com ICA Division Affiliations: Global Communication and Social Change, Popular Communication, Intercultural Communication, Ethnicity &Race in Communication, and the South Asian Communication Association (SACA). Institutional Sponsors: The Media School, Indiana University, Bloomington, USA; The Philip Merrill College of Journalism, University of Maryland, College Park, USA; Department of Communication, Denison University, Granville, Ohio, USA; School of Communication and Arts and the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities, University of Queensland, Australia. Preconference Description Characterized by a mobile phone led connectivity boom and the cheapest data prices in the world (McCarthy 2019), South Asia has emerged as a regionwith the greatest potential for the future growth of Internet users. Indeed, as such, the area is not only central to any attempts at imagining the future of digital media globally, but it also constitutes a fertile territorial and cultural space for scholarly inquiry into the various dimensions of expanding digital life in the region. Consequently, this preconference focuses on exploring digital developments and their political, economic, social and cultural implications in the context of postcolonial South Asia and its global diaspora. The preconference draws inspiration from scholars who have sought to de-westernize digital media studies through their granular and interdisciplinary accounts of varied aspects of digital life in non-western countries. It is also grounded in the notion that the historical, political and social specificities of postcolonial South Asia necessitate the production of knowledge on digital culture— both conceptual and empirical— that explores the heterogeneities and complexities of the diverse nations that constitute the region. We envisage this preconferenceto be a forum for illuminating the varied dialectical forces that are at play in South Asia in shaping digital culture in ways that are similar to but also quite different from other parts of the world. In pursuit of these objectives, we invite submissions that cover a broad range of topics set in South Asia, including, but not limited to scholarly areas such as: • Issues of digital access, connectivity and inequality (social asymmetries of caste, gender, sexuality, religion, language, and class) • Online mobilization by activist communities to protest inequities and advocate for social change • Nature and implications for sovereignty of governance and infrastructure regimes emerging across the region, particularly as they relate to data collection and commodification, security and privacy • The political economy of digital media and the impact of digital technologies on the mainstream media landscape in entertainment and news media • Rise of new genres of informational and artistic representation— including parody, satire, and humor—in online spaces such as YouTube • Role of digital and social media in the transformation of contemporary politics, including campaigns and elections • Transformations in the business and content of journalism, the rise of fake news, misinformation as well as hate and extreme speech • Vernacular community formation in local, national and transnational/diasporic South Asian digital spaces • New transnational digital circuits of cultural production and consumption—fueled by affinities of caste, gender, class and sexuality—within and beyond South Asia The preconference aims to bring together ICA participants as well as scholars from around the world who are interested in digital culture in the Global South, with a particular focus on South Asia. Presentations and conversations at the preconference will be geared to achieve the following broad goals: build theory sensitive to the nuances of the region, strengthen analytical frameworks, foster interdisciplinarity, encourage critical thinking, and address empirical gaps in research.
The Institute of South Asian Studies at the National University of Singapore organised a roundtable titled ‘Digital Politics: Emerging Trends in South and Southeast Asia’ on 5 December 2018. The event brought together researchers, policymakers and representatives of digital media companies.
