Proof of Life Multimedia Exhibit
This exhibit features the fieldwork and reflections of students in the winter term course: Acting Your Age: Meanings of Adulthood. Through images, sound and text, students will share personal reflections and highlights from readings. They will reveal traces of “adulting” norms found in college archives, and tell stories of growing, ageing and being alive shared by youth and elders in Addison County. They will explore how notions of childhood, adulthood and ageing are shaped by economic, political and social structures, and envision new possibilities for becoming “adult.”

Living with Genji: The "World's First Novel" in 21st Century Japan
Davis Family Library, Upper Level Display Cases
The students in JAPN 290 (“Reading the Tale of Genji” in English”) and Prof. Otilia Milutin (Japanese Studies) are cordially inviting you and your students to view their exhibit, “Living with Genji: The World’s First Novel in 21st Century Japan.” The exhibit features a selection of objects, artwork, movies, and manga inspired by the 11th century classic The Tale of Genji by Murasaki Shikibu. Our exhibit aims to showcase a few selected items that speak both of the tale’s enduring legacy in traditional Japanese arts, and, equally important, of its contemporary reiterations, be they manga and movies adaptations or commercial, consumer-oriented products such as mascots, stationary, fabrics, and other everyday objects. Through our exhibit, we hope to demonstrate how a millennium old classic lives and thrives today in contemporary Japan.
