MUSEUMS, EXHIBITS AND THE MODERN CITY: Japanese Points of Departure
The guest speakers will be three historians of Japan doing work that touches upon museums and/or exhibitions in urban settings: Julia Thomas of Notre Dame (author of a prize-winning book on Japanese discourses of nature), Jordan Sand of Georgetown (author of a >prize-winning book on Japanese concepts of the “home”), and William Marotti of UCLA (a specialist in Japan in the 1960s and the history of the Japanese avant garde). A full program, including names of discussants (people working on urban settings in other parts of the world), will follow.
The event is sponsored by the UCI Humanities Center and the School of Humanities’ “Pacific Rim Urban Futures” working group; with additional logistical or other support from the History Department and the Center for Asian Studies.
A light lunch will be provided to participants; if you plan to come,
