EAST ASIA AS METHOD: CULTURE, KNOWLEDGE, SPACE

An Interdisciplinary Conference for Junior Scholars

October 7 & 8, 2016

Keynote Speakers:

Jini Kim Watson, Associate Professor of English and Comparative Literature, New York University (Discussant: Dan O’Neill, Associate Professor, East Asian Languages and Cultures, UC Berkeley)

Jim Glassman, Professor of Geography, University of British Columbia (Discussant: You-tien Hsing, Professor of Geography and Pamela P. Fong Family Distinguished Chair in China Studies, UC Berkeley)

Conference Description:

What is East Asia? From ideological construct to physical and material reality, East Asia is still a contested territory, marked by the discourse of “Asian ascendancy” in the midst of new forms of conflict and contradiction, ranging from territorial disputes to economic tensions and historical revisionism. By questioning what constitutes East Asia today in a world of shifting boundaries, this conference for junior scholars seeks new approaches to understand the region and new methods to conduct area studies. Attending to flows, connections, travels and interactions that dismantle the understanding of East Asian studies as a bounded entity, the conference invites papers that critically discuss East Asia from multiple disciplinary perspectives. The questions our conference seeks to engage include, but are not limited to, three major thematic areas:

Theme 1: Culture

Cultural productions have always played a major role in the East Asian imaginary, variously constructed through the lens of memory, identity, and belonging. What are the roles of texts, images and practices in imagining East Asia? How do cultural productions reinforce or challenge nationalist discourses? What are alternative forms of cultural productions that reimagine national and regional boundaries?

Theme 2: Knowledge

Research interests abound in knowledge production, exchanges, and flows within East Asia and beyond. How has knowledge about East Asia been constructed in specific historical contexts? What are the roles of various actors, ranging from states and academics to international agencies? How has such knowledge contributed to the shape and content of East Asian society?

Theme 3: Space

East Asia can also be examined as a space produced through transnational flows of ideas, materials, and practices. What are cross-boundary inquiries that destabilize categories and narratives about East Asia as a fixed spatial entity? Some examples of topics to be explored are interconnections between imperialism, nationalism, and globalization that have shaped and reshaped East Asia.

All papers relating to “East Asia,” broadly conceived, are welcome. The conference accepts proposals for individual papers, to be organized into panels of three to four presenters.  All presentations will be no more than 15-20 minutes.

Applications:

To apply to present at our conference, please submit the following two items as one continuous PDF document:

  1. Title and abstract of your paper (maximum 250 words + title)
  2. A one-page CV

Applications should be sent as an attachment to eastasiaasmethod@gmail.com. The deadline for all applications is April 15, 2016 at 11:59 PM Pacific Time. Notifications will be sent by May 15, 2016.

Abstracts will be posted on the conference website for public access. Presenters will be strongly encouraged to submit completed papers by August 15, 2016.

Our two-day conference will be held at the University of California at Berkeley, and will include presentations, two keynote speeches, and dinners for presenters and participants. This conference is organized by the Haas Junior Scholar Fellows 2015-2016, with funding and support by the Institute of East Asian Studies at UC Berkeley.

A limited amount of funding may be available to invited conference participants to assist with travel and housing. It is strongly suggested that participants consult other funding venues to fund the majority of their travel costs. Details will be provided with the acceptance of abstracts and invitation to the conference.

Book Announcement: Japanese Prostitutes in the North American West, 1887-1920

Posted on March 13, 2016 by LM

OHA

Via University of Washington Press.

Japanese Prostitutes in the North American West, 1887-1920
KAZUHIRO OHARAZEKI

paperback not available
$40.00S HARDCOVER (9780295998336)

PUBLISHED: May 2016
SUBJECT LISTING: Asian American Studies; History / American History; Asian Studies / Japan
BIBLIOGRAPHIC INFORMATION: 312 pp., 11 illus., 5 maps, 6 x 9 in.
SERIES: Emil and Kathleen Sick Book Series in Western History and Biography
CONTENTS

This compelling study of a previously overlooked vice industry explores the larger structural forces that led to the growth of prostitution in Japan, the Pacific region, and the North American West at the turn of the twentieth century. Combining very personal accounts with never before examined Japanese sources, historian Kazuhiro Oharazeki traces these women’s transnational journeys from their origins in Japan to their arrival in Pacific Coast cities. He analyzes their responses to the oppression they faced from pimps and customers, as well as the opposition they faced from American social reformers and Japanese American community leaders. Despite their difficult circumstances, Oharazeki finds, some women were able to parlay their experience into better jobs and lives in America. Though that wasn’t always the case, their mere presence here nonetheless paved the way for other Japanese women to come to America and enter the workforce in more acceptable ways.

By focusing on this “invisible” underground economy, Japanese Prostitutes in the North American West sheds new light on Japanese American immigration and labor histories and opens a fascinating window into the development of the American West.
KAZUHIRO OHARAZEKI is instructor of foreign studies at Setsunan University in Japan.
“A valuable addition-and intervention-to the existing scholarship on early Japanese American history and Asian American women’s history. Provides a rare glimpse into the demographic characteristics of Japanese prostitutes, as well as the socioeconomic context in which they were compelled to leave home.”
-Eiichiro Azuma, author of Between Two Empires: Race, History, and Transnationalism in Japanese America
“Oharazeki offers innovative and original discussions about Japanese prostitution on global and comparative scales.”
-Shelley Lee, author of Claiming the Oriental Gateway: Prewar Seattle and Japanese America

Resource: Voices from Tohoku

Posted on March 11, 2016 by Paula

tohokuProfessor David Slater of Sophia University in Tokyo has been a part of great efforts to support those affected by the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, including ensuring that their stories are heard. Today’s resource is an archive launched last year of oral narratives (in Japanese) from various communities affected by the disaster. Below we include Professor Slater’s original announcement describing the goals and production of the archive:

http://tohokukaranokoe.org/

Voices from Tohoku

Over the past 3+ years, we have collected video oral narratives from more than 10 communities in Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima. We have more than 500 hours in total, making it one of the largest such archives we know of. Most of the interviewing has been done by undergraduates at the Faculty of Liberal Arts, Sophia University, Tokyo.

“Voices of Tohoku” is a Japanese website that features a collection of clips taken from our full archive, each with Japanese transcriptions and thematic tags. These clips were first provided to our primary audience–the Tohoku informants themselves–as some record of how people felt during the unfolding of events within community life in post 3.11 Tohoku. The stories are not always happy but one informant suggested that we make them available to the public. “After all,” she said, “we only told you these stories so you would tell the world what really happened.” The website is not fancy but it is functional, a work in progress. (Of course, we have full release forms for all material.)

During the data collection, we returned to each site for repeated visits for at least a year, always doing volunteer work to better understand the specifics of the community. Rather than focusing on the often horrific tales of destruction on “the day of,” we tried to give our informants a more expansive chance to talk about their lives in more detail. Wanting minimal interruption, we often asked only three questions during our interviews: what was your community like before 3.11; how has it been from the disaster until today; what is your vision of the future?

tohoku2

We are not collecting any more Tohoku narratives, not because the situation is in any sense “over”–it is not–but because we do not have any more money to send people into Tohoku. We are currently translating the interviews into English and looking for a way to make the full archive open to other scholars in a responsible and effective way.

We gratefully acknowledge support from Sophia University, the Toyota Foundation and a JSPS grant from the Japanese government. Also, we thank the many graduate students, post-grad scholars, colleagues, NPO leaders and of course, our many interviewees and collaborators in Tohoku, who have helped us make the archive what it is so far.

T.T.T. is a three-week summer intensive training program that introduces the traditional arts of noh, kyogen, and Nihonbuyō (there is also a short course on offer for kotsuzumi [hourglass-shaped hand drum, played on shoulder]). The program is based on the practice-recital approach, and aims to allow participants from all over the world to learn the skills and spirit of traditional performing arts. 

Fluency in Japanese is not required of participants, though lessons will typically be given in the language (with interpreters on hand). 

Dates of the program: Tuesday 19 July – Saturday 13 August 2016

Paper copies of the application will be available from Kyoto Art Center toward the end of March 2016.

The early bird discount (5000 yen off) will be available until 15 April 2016.

Answers to some frequently asked questions:

About

T.T.T. invites artists, students, and researchers seeking profound knowledge of Japanese traditional performing arts. Nationality, gender, and age are unimportant.

Schedule

Orientation: 19 July 2016 (Tue, time to be confirmed; venue: KAC)
Training: 20 July 2016 (Wed) to 12 August 2016 (Fri; venue: KAC)
Recital: 13 August 2016 (Sat; venue: Ōe Noh Theater)

Program Director

Matthew Shores

Applicants

Requirements: Students, performers, teachers, and Japanologists of all ages, genders, and nationalities

Capacity
Approximately 24 participants total (8 per class)

Applicants will be notified of the results as applications are received. Applications may not be accepted if capacity is reached prior to deadline.

Tuition

General 70,000 yen, Students 50,000 yen

* Veterans of previous T.T.T. programs will receive a discount (general tuition reduced to 50,000 yen, student tuition reduced to 40,000 yen)

* A discount for professional artists is also available upon examination (tuition reduced to 50,000yen).

Accommodations

It is the responsibility of participants to arrange their own accommodations. (Kyoto Art Center can provide assistance, if necessary.)

Local business hotels cost around 5000 to 10,000 yen per night, but hostels or guesthouses tend to be about half the price. You should look for these on your own and later ask Kyoto Art Center staff for assistance if you need help making the arrangements. 

Other Costs

Participants will need fans (approx. 4000 yen, depending on art of study) and tabi (split-toed socks, 1000-2000 yen) for daily practice. We will advise you how and where to purchase these if you do not already have them.

Japan can be expensive, but it does not have to be. You can save money by finding accommodations within walking distance of Kyoto Art Center (short rides on trains average 300 yen). Food can be cheap too; Japanese convenience stores are truly convenient, with a terrific selection of healthy food. Last summer in Kyoto, I spent an average of 1500-2000 yen on food/(non-alcoholic) drinks per day. If you’re able to prepare your own food, this would be even less. Please note that we have a couple of T.T.T. parties—most important is the final cast party following the recital—so please try to set aside about 10,000 yen for these. Outside dinners, drinks, events, trips to the theater (noh, kabuki, bunraku, etc.) are optional and can vary in price. There are all kinds of FREE things to do while in Kyoto of course, such as walking around town, window-shopping, and visiting parks and temple grounds. 

Staying in Kyoto for a few days after the program?

If you will be in Kyoto after T.T.T. ends, you might want to consider participating in Pendulum II, an intensive three-day course in Japanese music, from 16 to 18 August. The tuition is 5000 yen. Inquiries can be made by emailing the course convenor, Alison Tokita at tokita@kcua.ac.jp.
