The Hunt for the "Enemy Within" During the Battle of Okinawa DESCRIPTION:THE HUNT FOR THE “ENEMY WITHIN” DURING THE BATTLE OF OKINAWA: RETHINKING WARTIME ATROCITIES DURING THE ASIA-PACIFIC WAR \nThis talk will detail the execution of Okinawans as “spies” by the Japanese military during the Battle of Okinawa\, which was the last land battle of the Asia-Pacific War\, and the one that resulted in the largest number of civilian deaths in the Pacific theater. I will foreground the fear of “spies” throughout the war in general as well as discuss different examples of spy executions\, including the killing of children as “spies” in Okinawa. Lastly\, I will discuss why these wartime atrocities were never prosecuted as war crimes\, either by the Allies or the Japanese. The end of World War Two\, the subsequent American occupation of Japan\, and the collapse of the Japanese empire were events whose convergence resulted in the destruction of categories like civilian/military and Japanese/colonial. The abrupt dissolution of these categories had wide ranging consequences on how justice and revenge were pursued in the aftermath of the war. \nWEDNESDAY\, MAY 18\, 4:00 — 5:30 PM\nHSSB 4080 URL:https://www.eastasian.ucsb.edu/event/takashima-talks-presents-spy-the-hunt-for-the-enemy-within-during-the-battle-of-okinawa/ CATEGORIES:Community Event,Lecture,Visiting Speaker ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.eastasian.ucsb.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/KZiomek-May-18.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220511T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220511T153000 DTSTAMP:20260421T032240 CREATED:20220414T200454Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220414T200454Z UID:8190-1652277600-1652283000@www.eastasian.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:Collective Voicing\, Community Building: Intersecting Moving Images With Protest Concerts and Music Videos DESCRIPTION:ELLEN Y.

I contend\, rather\, that Tawada invites us to understand the reading of her texts as itself a “project of translation\,” one Roland Barthes once asserted could “only be a dream.” All translation involves assuming uncertainty and risk\, and this I\, contend\, implies the political risks of translation. I put the unstable\, dream-like\, uncanny Tawada text in dialogue with contemporary theorists of translation\, including Emily Apter\, Haun Saussy\, and Gayatri Spivak. \nBrett de Bary is Professor Emerita of Asian Studies and Comparative Literature at Cornell University. Her translation of Tawada Yōko’s Borudò no gikei (2009)\, together with a critical study of the text\, is forthcoming from Columbia University Press in the volume. Tawada Yōko’s The Brother-in-Law in Bordeaux: Translation as Method.  Her essay on Tawada’s Fukushima novel\, The Emissarv (Kentöshi\, 2014) will be published this spring in Tales That Touch\, ed.

This paper will explore the ways in which democracy is sounded differently in street protests of two densely populated cities-Tokyo and New York-as shaped by urban geography\, urban acoustics\, participatory practices\, and perhaps most importantly\, policing. Analyzing protests as an interplay between urban space\, cyberspace\, police\, and activist-musicians\, the talk considers the ways in which the sounds of street protests reflect the kind of democracy that society allows. \nWEDNESDAY\, MAY 4\, 4:00 — 6:30 PM\nUCSB Campus:  SS&MS 2135 URL:https://www.eastasian.ucsb.edu/event/takashima-talks-presents-the-democracy-that-society-allows-protest-sounds-in-japan-and-the-us/ CATEGORIES:Community Event,Lecture,Visiting Speaker ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.eastasian.ucsb.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/NManabe-May-4.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220504T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220504T153000 DTSTAMP:20260421T032240 CREATED:20220414T195544Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220414T195544Z UID:8183-1651672800-1651678200@www.eastasian.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:Tai Ming-Liang's Cruisy\, Sleepy\, Melancholy Queer DESCRIPTION:NICHOLAS DE VILLIERS\, (UNIVERSITY OF NORTH FLORIDA) \nWEDNESDAY MAY 4\, 2022\, 2-3:30 P.M.

Nearly all rosewood logs are sent to China\, fueling a $26 billion market for classically styled furniture. Vast expeditions across Asia and Africa search for the majestic timber\, and legions of Chinese ships sail for Madagascar\, where rosewood is purchased straight from the forest. The international response has been to interdict the trade\, but this misunderstands both the intent and effect of China’s appetite for rosewood\, causing social and ecological damage in the process. Drawing on fieldwork in China and Madagascar\, Annah Zhu upends the pieties of Western-led conservation\, offering a glimpse of what environmentalism and biodiversity protection might look like in a world no longer ruled by the West. \nAnnah Zhu is an Assistant Professor of environmental globalization at Wageningen University in the Netherlands. She received her PhD in society and environment from the University of California\, Berkeley and her Masters in environmental management from Duke University. She is a veteran of the United Nations’ Environment Program in Geneva\, and a former Peace Corps volunteer in Madagascar. Her work has been published in Science\, Geoforum\, Political Geography\, Environment International\, and American Ethnologist. \nThursday\, December 2nd\, 2021\n3:30 PM — 5:00 PM\nUniversity of California\, Santa Barbara\nHumanities & Social Change Center\nRobertson Gymnasium 1000A\nCosponsors: Capps Center for the Study of Ethics\, Religion\, and Public Life; Department of East Asian Languages and Cultural Studies; Environmental Studies Program URL:https://www.eastasian.ucsb.edu/event/rosewood-endangered-species-conservation-and-the-rise-of-global-china/ CATEGORIES:Community Event,Lecture,Visiting Speaker ORGANIZER;CN="Fabio Rambelli":MAILTO:rambelli@ucsb.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20211201T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20211201T143000 DTSTAMP:20260421T032240 CREATED:20211129T012554Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211129T012633Z UID:7858-1638363600-1638369000@www.eastasian.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:Make Mars Beautiful: The Aesthetics of Sino-forming in the Chinese Century DESCRIPTION:China plans to send its first manned mission to Mars by 2033\, and eventually establish a permanent colony on the planet. Many outside China see this ambitious turn towards space colonization as an attempt to establish global leadership in science and technology. But what is the cultural significance of Mars and Martian colonization for the Chinese? To form a better appreciation for Chinese conceptualizations of the relationship between nature and humanity that will shape the country’s interplanetary future\, George Zhu urges us to begin with one of China’s most well known artistic treasures\, the Meat Shaped Stone. Making connections across centuries of art\, environmental management\, and imperial ambition\, Zhu outlines a possible future for Mars–and the Earth–in what portends to be the Chinese century. \nGeorge Zhu received his master’s in English literature from the University of California Irvine. He is the co-founder of Double Bind Media\, a production company specializing in experimental documentary film and other visual media based in Los Angeles and the Netherlands. Currently\, he resides in the Netherlands where he develops and produces a range of multidisciplinary new media work. He is also a writer interested in contemporary Chinese culture\, environmentalism\, endangered species\, climate change\, and science studies. \nWednesday\, December 1st\, 2021\n1:00 PM — 2:30 PM\nUniversity of California\, Santa Barbara\nHumanities & Social Change Center\nRobertson Gymnasium 1000A\nCosponsors: Capps Center for the Study of Ethics\, Religion\, and Public Life; Department of East Asian Languages and Cultural Studies; Environmental Studies Program URL:https://www.eastasian.ucsb.edu/event/make-mars-beautiful-the-aesthetics-of-sino-forming-in-the-chinese-century/ CATEGORIES:Community Event,Lecture,Visiting Speaker ORGANIZER;CN="Fabio Rambelli":MAILTO:rambelli@ucsb.edu END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
