Two talks by Mary Ann Doane in Nagoya

[Hideaki Fujiki]

Dear list members,

We have invited Mary Ann Doane to our two events in Nagoya. I have  
just confirmed with her that she will come to Japan although the SCMS  
conference has been cancelled. Please join us if you are interested.  
But I have to say that there only remain quite a limited number of  
admission tickets for the May 29 lecture, though it is free.  
Registration on the website (http://www.chukyo-u.ac.jp/event/annai/ 
2009/005_new.html) has already been closed. So if you want to attend  
this, please let me know by email OFF LIST by May 20th. In the case  
the tickets run out, I apologize in advance. In this lecture, she  
will discuss the persistence of the argument (Bergson, Jameson, etc.)  
that time has become spatialized in modernity and/or postmodernity,  
analyzing Sugimoto Hiroshi's photographic series-Theaters, Jim  
Cambell's _Illuminated Average_, Tsai Ming-Liang's _Goodbye, Dragon  
Inn_, and movie trailers.

The May 30 lecture will be held at Nagoya University, as part of the  
Japan Society of Image Arts and Sciences. The admission fee for non- 
members costs 2,000 yen and 1,000 yen for a student. Pre-registration  
is not necessarily required for admission to this, but you can  
register on the website (http://www.jasias-chubu.org/35/ 
participate.html). In the lecture she will discuss the close-up.

You see the basic information below.
