1984年，英國Essex大學舉辦了一場名為「歐洲及其他者」(Europe and Its Others) 的學術研討會，延續愛德華‧薩依德於1978年著作《東方主義》所提出的文化想像議題，檢驗歐洲在歷史中對文化他者的觀看與型構。會議討論方向對當時正逐漸興起的後殖民論述，具有重大的開啟及發揚之意義；日後被視為後殖民理論三巨頭的薩依德、史碧瓦克及巴巴等人都參與了當時的會議，發表他們學術生涯的代表作之一。二十多年後，國立台灣師範大學英語學系將於2007年6月23日舉辦一場主題定為「亞洲與他者」的國際學術研討會，除了在議題的厚度上師法Essex 當年的會議之外，更期待在這個號稱「中國興起」、「亞洲興起」的年代再度思索「他者」的問題意識。 本次會議將邀請Prof. Sneja Gunew (Professor of English and Women’s Studies, University of British Columbia), Prof. Hugh J. Silverman (Professor of Philosophy and Comparative Literature, Stony Brook University), Prof. Scott Slovic (Professor of Literature and Environment, University of Nevada, Reno)三位學者發表專題演說，並有三十多位來自國內外的學者發表論文。

*Other Asias is the title of Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak’s new book to be published in May 2007. Though we did not have enough information regarding the thesis of the book as of the time when we designed our program, we proposed to take advantage of the intriguing title to stimulate discussions.
