Japan History Workshop will be held at Harvard University this coming April
10, at the Central Square outpost and temporary home of the Reischauer
Institute of Japanese Studies (2nd floor, 635 Massachusetts Avenue, right at
the Central Square "T" station). Details on housing arrangements are
below and attached.<?/color><BR><BR><?color><?param 0000,0000,0000>As always,
the focus is on informality and discussion and brief presentations, rather
than on formal or lengthy research presentations. Our goal is to
generate and exchange ideas, and facilitate contact among the extended
community of modern Japan historians in the northeast.<BR> <BR>The
morning session, 9:30 am to noon, will focus on the practice of "cultural
studies" of modern Japanese history, with particular focus on the recently
published 10 volume Iwanami Koza series,<I> Kindai Nihon no Bunka
Shi</I>. The editor of the volume, Kojima-san, is coming from Japan and
will start the discussion with his thoughts on the creation and the reception
of this project. Others who have contributed to the volume-Victor
Koschmann, Greg Pfugfelder, and Naoki Sakai-will offer thoughts, and as time
allows I may say a few words about Yoshimi Shunya's contributions, before
opening a general discussion of the potentials (or limitations) of the
scholarship represented in this series, and other related or similar
work. I will shortly send out as attachment a file containing copies of
the table of contents of each volume, so all can be at least somewhat familiar
with the work.<BR> <BR>The afternoon session, 2-4:30, will focus on film,
history, and literature, for several reasons. One, Harvard is hosting
director Shinoda Masahiro to show his classic Double Suicide" on May 14 and
this recent "Spy Sorge" on May 16. In addition, we are all somewhat
familiar with the current "flood" of Japan-themed and Japan-located films from
Hollywood and elsewhere (Australia, France, at least). Third, and most
immediate, the Harvard Film Archive is showing a complete Ozu retrospective-36
films in all-starting on April 2 through May 11. On Friday the 9th, just
before our workshop, two films will be shown: Walk Cheerfully (Hogoraka ni
Ayume), and An Inn in Tokyo (Tokyo no Yado), at 7 and 9 pm. Scheduled
for Saturday night, the 10th, are "The Only Son" (Hitori Musuko) at 7 and
"What did the Lady Forget" (Shukujo wa nani o wasureta ka) at 9. All are
released originally between 1930 and 1937. The first two are silent, the
second two are talkies. You are all welcome to attend these films (at
Carpenter Center on the Harvard campus.<BR><BR>With this in mind, we hope to
have three brief presentations on approaches to Japanese film in general, Ozu
in particular, from the perspectives of film studies, literary studies, and
historical studies. Tentative speakers will be Aaron Gerow, John
Treat, and Alexis Dudden. <BR><B>To facilitate planning for lunch and
dinner, if you are planning to attend, please send a brief note to Ms. Margot

the workshop is a low budget operation. The host school cannot cover
transportation or lodging costs. However, we can subsidize group lunch

students from out-of-town in the rooms of local students. <B> If you are
