SUMMARY:Japan Speaker Series  Text and Image in Modern Japan: The Case of Shimazaki Tōson’s Novel Haru (Spring)
DESCRIPTION:via Google Meet: 14:00 (Romania) / 06:00 (US Central) / 20:00 (Japan) \nThis talk looks at the changing relationship(s) between text and image from pre-modern to modern Japan\, with a focus on the work of Shimazaki Tōson\, especially his novel Haru (Spring)\, published in installments in the Asahi newspaper (1908). Written in the modern and seemingly transparent genbun icchi (unified written and spoken) style and purporting to express the life and struggles of young Meiji intellectuals “as they really are\,” Haru will be discussed in conjunction with the sketch-like illustrations provided by young painter Natori Shunsen. Natori takes numerous representational hints from European movements such as Art Nouveau\, while drawing on the other hand from his experience as a reporter. \n  \nAssociate Professor Irina Holca\, Ph.D.\nIrina Holca obtained her M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in modern Japanese literature from Nara University of Education and Osaka University\, respectively. She joined Kyoto University’s Institute for Research in the Humanities as a senior lecturer in 2014 and went on to become an associate professor in the PEAK Program at the University of Tokyo in 2019. She specializes in modern and contemporary Japanese literature and is interested in translation and media studies. She is the author of The (Re)Opened Text: Media\, Otherness\, and Gender in Shimazaki Tōson’s Works (Bensei Shuppan\, 2018; in Japanese)\, and co-editor of Forms of the Body in Contemporary Japanese Literature\, Society\, and Culture (Rowman and Littlefield\, 2020). A translator of Japanese novels into Romanian\, Holca published works such as Banana Yoshimoto’s Kitchen\, Natsume Sōseki’s I Am a Cat\, Mori Ogai’s Vita Sexualis\, among others.

SUMMARY:Layered Narratives\, Literary Spirits: Writing The Kimono Tattoo
DESCRIPTION:Click on image for meet link \nPersons interested to attend are asked to RSVP \n  \n[envira-gallery id="271"]\n  \n \n \n  \n  \n  \nIn her lecture\, Professor Copeland will discuss her debut novel The Kimono Tattoo published in June 2021 by Brother Mockingbrid Press and recipient of the 2022 Independent Press Award. \n  \n \nSilks unravels. A tattoo is forever. Layer by layer the truth is revealed. \nThis vision of silk enrobing the body\, inky beauty of tattoos\, and the specter of murder drove my first novel\, The Kimono Tattoo.  A fan of the murder mystery\, I planned to try my hand at this popular genre to introduce American readers to Kyoto and aspects of Japanese culture. But before I was even aware of it\, I found my story incorporating tropes\, images\, and scenarios from earlier Japanese literature\, and especially from the work of Uno Chiyo and Enchi Fumiko. At times I almost felt as if a portal had opened somewhere in my writing world and had admitted the spirits of these writers. How did my earlier encounters with their twists in plot and character\, and their hidden messages shape what I wrote? In this presentation I will reflect on these visiting spirits as a means to pay homage to the literary luminaries that inspired my debut novel and guided my career as a scholar\, teacher\, and translator of Japanese women’s writing.”\n(Rebecca Copeland) \n  \nRebecca Copeland is professor of Japanese literature at Washington University in St. Louis. Her research focuses on modern women’s writing\, translation\, and gender. Her published works include The Modern Murasaki: Writing by Women of Meiji Japan (2006)\, co-edited with Dr. Melek Ortabasi; Woman Critiqued: Translated Essays on Japanese Women’s Writing (2006); The Father-Daughter Plot: Japanese Literary Women and the Law of the Father (2001)\, co-edited with Dr. Esperanza Ramirez-Christensen; Lost Leaves: Women Writers of Meiji Japan (2000); and The Sound of the Wind: The Life and Works of Uno Chiyo (1992). She has also translated the works of Kirino Natsuo\, Uno Chiyo\, and Hirabayashi Taiko\, among others. \nMore recently she has turned her attention to creative writing. Her debut novel\, The Kimono Tattoo\, winner of the 2022 Independent Press Award\, was published by Brother Mockingbird Press in June 2021. That same month\, Stone Bridge Press released Yamamba: In Search of the Japanese Mountain Witch\, a collection of creative responses to the yamamba\, which she co-edited with Linda C. Ehrlich.
