From aaron.gerow at yale.edu Fri Jun 1 00:08:54 2018 From: aaron.gerow at yale.edu (Gerow Aaron) Date: Fri, 1 Jun 2018 13:08:54 +0900 Subject: [Kinejapan] Welcome to KineJapan via Yale Message-ID: <027F78AB-90ED-4F4A-9324-9887668F8386@yale.edu> Hello everyone and welcome to the ?new? KineJapan! From now on, KineJapan mail will be distributed by a server at Yale. This is a TEST mail to confirm that the server is working. For those of you who have configured your mail software so that KineJapan mails are sent to a set folder, you might need to change the settings since mail will now be sent from a different server. Also, do remember you now need to send mail to a different address if you want to post to the list. Posts sent to the old server will not be distributed to the list. There might be a few kinks the first few days, so please be patient. I am in Seoul right now, and will try to address any issues that come up if and when I can. If you didn?t get this mail, well then?. (But I have sent a last warning via the old server.) Happy discussions! Aaron Gerow KineJapan co-owner Yale University Here is a reminder about the KineJapan list: You have subscribed to KineJapan, the internet's only discussion list devoted to the study of Japanese film and moving image media. KineJapan is one of the projects organized by Kinema Club, a website created by scholars and researchers who saw the need to use the internet to spread information and further discussion about Japanese cinema. Anyone interested in Japanese moving image media, from scholars to film fans, is welcome to join KineJapan and participate in our talks. Anything related to Japanese image media is open to discussion: modes such as feature film, television, magic lanterns, anime, documentary, and experimental film and video; the relationship between Japanese film and other arts or other national cinemas; as well as the social, economic, and historical factors that are deeply intertwined with these media. (For those only interested in discussing anime, however, we remind you that there are already lists devoted to that.) We also encourage the posting of announcements about new films, conferences, publications, film festivals, and other events relating to Japanese image media that might be of interest to our subscribers. KineJapan is a world-wide discussion group, with members from countries all over the globe. While most of the discussion will be in English, we welcome postings by subscribers in their native tongue (although those sending such posts should be aware that not all subscribers can read or even receive such messages given their language skills or their computer system software). Given that this is a discussion group devoted to Japan, we in particular encourage Japanese subscribers to post in Japanese if that is what feels most comfortable. Not everyone can receive messages in Japanese, but many of the members are capable of communicating in that language. With the list being a part of Kinema Club, we conceive of KineJapan as an extension of our open community of scholars and all of its subscribers as fellow researchers devoted to the study of Japanese film. In order to facilitate communication within that community, we ask all subscribers to introduce themselves to the list upon joining. DISCUSSION ETIQUETTE KineJapan is an UNMODERATED list. That means there is no one who checks posts before they are distributed to all the subscribers; what you write is sent as is to everyone else. In addition, only those subscribing can post messages to the list. It was decided to make KineJapan unmoderated both to save the list owners from the burden of moderating and to facilitate more open, spontaneous and real-time discussions. That means, however, it is up to each and every subscriber to moderate themselves and maintain a few basic rules of etiquette. We wholly encourage frank, critical, and thorough discussions of any topic related to Japanese moving image media, but in the interests of our community of scholars, we hope everyone will remain civil and refrain from posts that bother other members or undermine the mission of the list. 1. Messages can criticize the content and ideas presented in other postings, but should never go beyond that to attack, defame, or otherwise injure the personal character or status of other subscribers. That is, keep discussions to the issues and don't deviate towards personal attacks. 2. Messages should be related to the general topic of the list: Japanese moving image media. We would like to keep the definition broad, but posts totally unrelated to that topic are unwelcome. 3. We welcome announcements about new publications and films, but ask subscribers to refrain from using the list as merely a means of advertising their personal products. Also, all posts soliciting money, offering investment deals, or selling anything unrelated to Japanese film are unwanted. Posts selling anything pornographic are also discouraged. For security and other concerns, members should also avoid putting attachments on mail sent to the list; if you want to direct people to information, either put it in the mail itself or include a URL. 4. Posts should respect the privacy of individuals. Giving out phone numbers, e-mail addresses, etc. that are already public is OK, but please refrain from giving out such information if the individual has not publicized it. 5. Anyone who continues to violate the above rules, even after being warned by the owners, will be expelled from the list.

Looks like the test went well, at least from my end (the first mail is safely stored in the archive, which means it should have been sent to everyone). The last mail to the old server also spurred some stragglers and we had a last minute rush of subscribers to the new server. We topped 200 subscribers, which is a lot less than the nearly 700 we had at the OSU server, but as I mentioned, I think over half of those were dead addresses that accumulated over 20 years. So if you?ve been hesitating, do now feel free to start posting on KineJapan again. The new address is: kinejapan at mailman.yale.edu I also updated the Kinema Club site with the new addresses. Look forward to seeing you on the list!

Free and open event: everybody welcome! The Senses and the Meanings of Modernity in East Asia, 1890?1945 an exploratory workshop 18 June 2018, room S116 (Senate House), SOAS, University of London Reflecting recent shifts towards the study of embodied subjectivities and embodied cognition, the senses have re-emerged as objects of inquiry that span the arts, humanities, hard and social sciences. The senses, however, are not only hard-wired, inert physiological givens; as the young Marx stressed as early as 1844, ?the forming of the five senses is a labour of the entire history of the world down to the present.? This awareness of historical sedimentation and cultural entanglement-in-the-world can often be missing from current work on affect, sensing and embodiment that assumes unchanging bodies and universal subjects. Modernity always tears older structures of perception and brings in a new distribution of the sensible. In East Asia these processes were condensed, uneven and particularly traumatic as they involved the real and symbolic violence of colonialism (China, Korea) and state-sponsored modernization (Japan). Visuality was paramount in the Japanese empire?s regime of power/knowledge in both the metropole and the colonies. Local practices of the body and the senses, some rooted in centuries of cultural training, were remade into universal quantifiable units and trajectories. Larger, transnational historical and technological forces worked to separate the senses, amplifying single sensory pathways. This project proposes the senses as an overarching framework that can help us reconceptualise the social, cultural and technological histories of modernity in East Asia. The senses let us think beyond established disciplinary divisions, such as those between modernism as a network of aesthetic practices and the material developments characteristic of modernity. They can help us challenge the determinist narrative of imported Western technological inventions transforming a social field from the outside and restore subjective and social agency to the histories of media in East Asia. Modernity requires perspectives that can capture the flows of objects, bodies, and representations beyond the boundaries of the nation. Border-crossing forms of knowledge are urgently needed in the study of East Asia, as the geopolitically-driven approaches of ?area studies? still insist on the nation-state as a validating category, isolating China, Japan and Korea from each other and positioning them into the linear teleologies of modernization, with Western experience as the norm. How did older modes of perception and the inherent intersubjectivity of certain sensory experiences encounter the monadic, self-contained subject demanded by capitalist modernization? How did cultural practices and critical discourses in China, Japan and Korea respond to the new domination of the eye? Do we find only resistances and tensions or are there resonances and alignments between the non-visual arts and the dominant visual regime? Can approaches centred on the senses help us scrutinize the juxtapositions between ?high? art, music and literature, and burgeoning mass visual and auditory cultures? Do we need a rigorous historical anchoring of these explorations or should we look for perspectives that cross not only geographies and disciplines, but also time periods?

The first programme, ?Women in the Frame? is a selection of titles by and about women, from countries including Armenia, Georgia, Bhutan and Vietnam. The second is called UnorthoDocs, and features short documentary and experimental works exploring ideas of geography, territory and landscapes, both natural and manmade, through vision and sound, with films from India, Hawaii, New Zealand and Armenia, among others. This section features a quite stunning contribution from a Japanese filmmaker, Hiroya Sakurai?s STREAM VIII (2016), a film that really has to be experienced on a big screen. https://www.thehorsehospital.com/events/aperture-asia-pacific-film-festival The main day of the festival will be on Sat 30 Jun at The Cinema Museum, where films will include the first Afghan feature directed by a woman in the post-Taliban era, Roya Sadat?s LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT, and Malaysian director Edmund Yeo?s AQERAT (WE THE DEAD), a powerful and timely drama about human trafficking and the Rohingya refugee crisis. Of most interest to Japanese film fans however is the long overdue UK premiere of Tatsuya Mori?s documentary FAKE, about the self-taught deaf musical prodigy Mamoru Samuragochi, once dubbed ?Japan?s Beethoven? but later denounced a fraud by the Japanese media, which plays at the Cinema Museum day from 7pm: http://www.cinemamuseum.org.uk/2018/aperture-asia-pacific-film-festival/ Complete details about the festival can be found here: http://www.day-for-night.org/aperture/ [http://www.day-for-night.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Aperture-logo_Black-300x102.jpg] Aperture: Asia & Pacific Film Festival - Day for Night www.day-for-night.org Aperture: Asia & Pacific Film Festival is a new UK-wide film festival devoted to screening some of the boldest, most daring, challenging, and striking films from the Asian and Pacific regions.

For my new film project - a kind of experimental historiography - I am researching Japanese silent films.? Are any of you knowledgeable about this field and maybe willing to help me a little bit?? So far I know that Matsuda Film Productions and the National Film Archive have collected silent films but I am not yet in contact with anybody there. I will, however, be in Tokyo and possibly other Japanese cities (wherever my research takes me) for a few weeks after July 1st. Would anyone here be willing to meet with me or can point me towards other individuals, archives or institutions that preserve silent films or have knowledge about them? ? Unfortunately, I do not speak or understand any Japanese. Of course, I'd be happy to write more about myself or the project! Please ask, if you have any questions. ? Thank you so much,I truly appreciate any help or idea, Eva Knopf -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

However, I know of one case in which the sender does not receive the mail he has sent to the list: me! Since I also know of at least one other KineJapan member who is experiencing the same problem, I have contacted the Yale ITS people to check on what might be the issue. At least in my case, they are sure that the mail is being sent to me, so they are wondering if it is not an issue with my e-mail software or mail service. If anyone is experiencing similar issues, feel free to let me know.

The first programme, ?Women in the Frame? is a selection of titles by and about women, from countries including Armenia, Georgia, Bhutan and Vietnam. ? The second is called UnorthoDocs, and features short documentary and experimental works exploring ideas of geography, territory and landscapes, both natural and manmade, through vision and sound, with films from India, Hawaii, New Zealand and Armenia, among others. This section features a quite stunning contribution from a Japanese filmmaker,?Hiroya Sakurai?s STREAM VIII (2016), a film that really has to be experienced on a big screen. ? https://www.thehorsehospital. com/events/aperture-asia- pacific-film-festival ?

Of most interest to Japanese film fans however is the long overdue UK premiere of Tatsuya Mori?s documentary FAKE, about the self-taught deaf musical prodigy Mamoru Samuragochi, once dubbed ?Japan?s Beethoven? but later denounced a fraud by the Japanese media, which plays at the Cinema Museum day from 7pm:http://www.cinemamuseum.org. uk/2018/aperture-asia-pacific- film-festival/ ? ?
