    Thirty Years of Chinese Transformation: the View from One Village

    Sponsored by:
    Dean of Faculty

    Carol Rifelj Lecture Series

    Ellen has been engaged in fieldwork in one village in China since 1993, visiting periodically and writing two monographs based on that fieldwork (one on morality and one on food). Having just come back from fieldwork again this past sabbatical year, in this lecture she would like to take the long view and ask how the transformations, continuities and emerging contradictions she has observed can provide us a more microscopic and longitudinal understanding than we often get based on journalistic accounts or urban-based research.

    Living with Genji: The "World's First Novel" in 21st Century Japan

    Sponsored by:
    Japanese and Axinn Center for the Humanities

    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.
