As the book blurb informs us, "Dialectics without Synthesis explores Japan’s active but previously unrecognized participation in the global circulation of film theory during the first half of the twentieth century. Examining a variety of Japanese theorists working in the fields of film, literature, avant-garde art, Marxism, and philosophy, Naoki Yamamoto offers a new approach to cinematic realism as culturally conditioned articulations of the shifting relationship of film to the experience of modernity. In this study, long-held oppositions between realism and modernism, universalism and particularism, and most notably, the West and the non-West are challenged through a radical reconfiguration of the geopolitics of knowledge production and consumption." <br><br>The talk will 45-minute long and will be followed by a 30-minute Q&A time. Those of you who would like to continue to discussion are invited to stay connected for another 30 minutes of informal conversation with the author. <br><br>Here is the Zoom Meeting ID: <br><br>Topic: Modern Japanese Culture Webinar<br>Time: Sep 18, 2020 04:00 PM Central Time (US and Canada)<br><br>Join Zoom Meeting<br><a href="https://northwestern.zoom.us/j/95294335035" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://northwestern.zoom.us/j/95294335035</a><br><br>Meeting ID: 952 9433 5035<br>One tap mobile<br>+13126266799,,95294335035# US (Chicago)<br>+19294362866,,95294335035# US (New York)<br><br>Dial by your location<br> +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)<br> +1 929 436 2866 US (New York)<br> +1 301 715 8592 US (Germantown)<br> +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)<br> +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)<br> +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)<br>Meeting ID: 952 9433 5035<br>Find your local number: <a href="https://northwestern.zoom.us/u/acmNdFN189" target="_blank">https://northwestern.zoom.us/u/acmNdFN189</a><br><br>Join by SIP<br><a href="mailto:95294335035@zoomcrc.com" target="_blank">95294335035@zoomcrc.com</a><br><br>Join by H.323<br>162.255.37.11 (US West)<br>162.255.36.11 (US East)<br>221.122.88.195 (China)<br>115.114.131.7 (India Mumbai)<br>115.114.115.7 (India Hyderabad)<br>213.19.144.110 (Amsterdam Netherlands)<br>213.244.140.110 (Germany)<br>103.122.166.55 (Australia)<br>209.9.211.110 (Hong Kong SAR)<br>64.211.144.160 (Brazil)<br>69.174.57.160 (Canada)<br>207.226.132.110 (Japan)<br>Meeting ID: 952 9433 5035<br><br>We hope to see all of you there. <br><br>Best,<br><br>Luciana Sanga<br>Wakako Suzuki<br>David Boyd</div><div><br></div><div><div><div><blockquote type="cite"><div>On Sep 8, 2020, at 1:51 PM, Thomas Ball via KineJapan <<a href="mailto:kinejapan@mailman.yale.edu" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">kinejapan@mailman.yale.edu</a>> wrote:</div><br><div><div><div style="font-family:Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><div></div>
