[KineJapan] The Great Kanto Earthquake: Reconstructing National Disaster and Colonial Atrocity 90 Years Later, Sept. 28

[Kerry Smith]

Of possible interest to KineJapan list members:

Please join us on September 28 at Brown University for “The Great Kanto Earthquake: Reconstructing National Disaster and Colonial Atrocity 90 Years Later,” a symposium and film screening that commemorates the 90th anniversary of the disaster, and explores how historians,  specialists in literature, and cultural studies scholars are working to understand and analyze its legacies. The event combines presented papers and discussion with a roundtable conversation - with audience members as welcome participants -  following the screening of two seldom-seen documentaries.  Both films -  "Hidden Scars: The Massacre of Koreans from the Arakawa River Bank to Shitamachi in Tokyo, 1923” (『隠された爪跡』) (1983) and “The Disposed-Of Koreans: The Great Kantō Earthquake and Camp Narashino” (『払い下げられた朝鮮人 関東大震災と習志野収容所』) (1986) - are directed by Oh Choong-kong, and both focus on the organized killings of Koreans and other ethnic minorities in the aftermath of the earthquake itself.  The event is free and open to the public. For more information, click here, view the flyer,  or contact co-organizers Jinhee Lee (jlee at eiu.edu) and Kerry Smith (Kerry_Smith at brown.edu).
