SUMMARY:Humanities Decanted: Transgenerational Remembrance: Performance and the Asia-Pacific War in Contemporary Japan
DESCRIPTION:Free to attend; registration required to receive Zoom webinar attendance link \n\nJoin us online for a dialogue between Jessica Nakamura (Theater and Dance) and Catherine Nesci (French and Italian\, Comparative Literature) about Nakamura’s new book\, Transgenerational Remembrance: Performance and the Asia-Pacific War in Contemporary Japan. Audience Q&A will follow. \nIn Transgenerational Remembrance\, Jessica Nakamura investigates the role of artistic production in the commemoration and memorialization of the Asia-Pacific War (1931–1945) in Japan since 1989. During this time\, survivors of Japanese aggression and imperialism\, previously silent about their experiences\, have sparked contentious public debates about the form and content of war memories. Working from theoretical frameworks of haunting and ethics\, Nakamura develops an analytical lens based on the Noh theater ghost. Noh emphasizes the agency of the ghost and the dialogue between the dead and the living. Integrating her Noh-inflected analysis into ethical and transnational feminist queries\, Nakamura shows that performances move remembrance beyond current evidentiary and historiographical debates. \nJessica Nakamura’s research focuses on theater and performance in the Asia-Pacific. Her essays have appeared in the journals Modern Drama\, Performance Research\, and Trans Asia Photography Review and in the edited volumes Performance in a Militarized Culture and Performing the Secular. Nakamura has trained in Japanese Dance\, Chinese Beijing Opera\, and Balinese Dance. Her directing work includes productions of Federico Garcia Lorca’s Yerma and Gao Xingjian’s Wild Man; she most recently translated and directed Family Portrait by contemporary Japanese playwright Shu Matsui. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Harry Girvetz Memorial Endowment

SUMMARY:Humanities Decanted: Antigone Rising: The Subversive Power of the Ancient Myths
DESCRIPTION:Free to attend; registration required to receive Zoom webinar attendance link \nJoin us online for a dialogue between Helen Morales (Classics) and Vilna Bashi-Treitler (Black Studies) about Morales’ new book\, Antigone Rising: The Subversive Power of the Ancient Myths. Audience Q&A will follow. \n\nA witty\, inspiring reckoning with the ancient Greco-Roman myths and their legacy\, from what they can illuminate about #MeToo to the radical imagery of Beyoncé. The picture of classical antiquity most of us learned in school is framed in certain ways — glossing over misogyny while omitting the seeds of feminist resistance. Even today\, myths are still informing harmful practices like diet culture and school dress codes. But in Antigone Rising\, classicist Helen Morales reminds us that the myths have subversive power because they can be told — and read — in different ways. Through these stories\, whether it’s Antigone’s courageous stand against tyranny or Procne and Philomela punishing a powerful man\, Morales uncovers hidden truths about solidarity\, empowerment\, and catharsis. Antigone Rising offers a fresh understanding of the stories we take for granted\, showing how we can reclaim them to challenge the status quo\, spark resistance\, and rail against unjust regimes. \nHelen Morales is a classicist and cultural critic with interests that include the ancient novel\, Greek imperial poetry\, mythology\, literary criticism\, sexual ethics\, diversity\, and pilgrimage. These interests are always connected to major contemporary concerns—leadership\, class\, race\, sexual politics\, aesthetics\, law—a better understanding of which\, in her view\, comes through appreciating their investment in Classics. She is the author of Pilgrimage to Dollywood (2014)\, Classical Mythology: A Very Short Introduction (2007 and 2010)\, and Vision and Narrative in Achilles Tatius’ “Leucippe and Clitophon” (2004). She is also editor of the journal Ramus. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Harry Girvetz Memorial Endowment
