Ibsen in Drag: A conversation with Cherdonna Shinatra (Jody Kuehner) and Maggie L. Rogers

“Watching Cherdonna Shinatra crash into A Doll’s House was the first time I ever had fun watching A Doll’s House” (Gemma Wilson*), , Come witness a conversation between dancer/choreographer and drag performance artist Jody Kuehner (Cherdonna Shinatra) and artist and dramaturg Maggie L. Rogers. The conversation will focus particularly on Kuehner and Rogers' 2017 production, "Cherdonna's A Doll's House,” staged in collaboration with the Washington Ensemble Theater on Capitol Hill. Cherdonna is Kuehner’s movement-based persona, a vehicle for exploring self and gender. How did Kuehner and Rogers hope to shake up the celebrated (yet stagnant?) gender politics of Henrik Ibsen’s play on the American stage?    * Wilson, Gemma.

Book Launch | Reading Across Borders: Afghans, Iranians, and Literary Nationalism | Prof. Aria Fani in conversation with Anna Learn

Prof. Aria Fani discusses the dynamic and interconnected ways Afghans and Iranians invented their modern selves through literature.   Contrary to the presumption that literary nationalism in the Global South emerged through contact with Europe alone, Reading Across Borders demonstrates how the cultural forms of Iran and Afghanistan as nation-states arose from their shared Persian heritage and cross-cultural exchange in the twentieth century.   In this book, Aria Fani charts the individuals, institutions, and conversations that made this exchange possible, detailing the dynamic and interconnected ways Afghans and Iranians invented their modern selves through new ideas about literature.   This monograph illustrates how voluntary and state-funded associations of readers helped formulate and propagate "literature" as a recognizable notion, adapting and changing Persian concepts to fit this modern idea. Focusing on early twentieth-century periodicals with readers in Afghan and Iranian cities and their… Event interval: Single day event. Campus location: Denny Hall (DEN).

CANADA | K-12 Educator Workshop -- Arctic Securities: How to Understand Current Challenges in the Circumpolar World

Arctic Securities: How to Understand Current Challenges in the Circumpolar World Date: Wednesday, November 6th Time: 4:30 - 6:30 pm PT Location: Online via Zoom -- link sent to registrants before event Cost: $10.00 In the mainstream media, Arctic security often refers to military security—the defense of our North American northern coastlines and national resources, securing the region from conflict and even Russia’s aggression. But security from a northern perspective has other priorities, including food security, housing security, and the security of northern peoples to protect their homelands from outside interests and interference. This virtual workshop for K-12 educators will address security from two key perspectives – traditional security and human security. Ben Johnson, professor from the University of Groningen and current Fulbright Scholar at the University of Washington, challenges traditional concepts of security.

Film Screening: 'Carving the Divine: Buddhist Sculptors of Japan', with filmmaker Seki Yujiro

Carving the Divine (2019, 99 min.) is a documentary film that offers a rare look into a 1400-year-old Buddhist woodcarving tradition and the practitioners struggling to preserve its legacy in a rapidly changing Japan.

Sound Systems of Latin America 4 (SSLA4)

The Department of Linguistics at the University of Washington is pleased to host the 4th Sound Systems of Latin America (SSLA 4).

Film Screening: Asako I & II

AUTHOR INTRODUCTION Join us for a screening of the award-winning 2018 film 'Asako I & II' by filmmaker Ryûsuke Hamaguchi (Drive my Car) based on the award-winning novel Nete mo Samete mo by Tomoka Shibasaki. Shibasaki will be on site to introduce the film. A mysterious and intoxicating pop romance, Ryûsuke Hamaguchi’s follow-up to the acclaimed Happy Hour begins with Asako, a young woman who meets and falls madly in love with a drifter, Baku, who one day drifts right out of her life. Two years later, working in Tokyo, Asako sees Baku again — or, rather, a young, solid businessman named Ryohei who bears a striking resemblance to her old flame. They begin to build a happy life together until traces of Asako’s past start to resurface. Shibasaki's first novel, Kyō no Dekigoto (A Day on the Planet), was adapted by Isao Yukisada  into a film of the same name in 2003. In 2006 Shibasaki won a MEXT Award for New Artists for Sono Machi no Ima wa (Today, in that City), which was then nominated in 2007 for… Event interval: Single day event.

“Unruly” Children with Jing Xu

On Thursday, November 14 from 3:30 to 5pm in HUB 337 and online, Dr. Jing Xu will discuss her latest monograph, “Unruly” Children: Historical Fieldnotes and Learning Morality in a Taiwan Village (Cambridge University Press, 2024). How do humans become moral persons? What about children’s active learning in contrast to parenting? What can children teach us about knowledge-making more broadly? My book explores these questions through re-discovering the late anthropologist Arthur Wolf’s unpublished fieldnotes collected in Taiwan (1958-1960). Designed as an improved replication of the Six Cultures Study of Socialization (SCS), a landmark project in the history of anthropology of childhood, Wolf’s project was the first systematic, ethnographic research on Taiwanese children and ethnic Han children more broadly. Xu analyzed this rare archive of fieldnotes, including interviews, natural observations and psychological tests, from a cognitive anthropology approach distinguished from SCS’ behaviorist paradigm.

Good Wife, Wise Mother with Fang Yu Hu

On Thursday, November 21 from 3:30 to 5pm in THO 317 and online, Dr. Fang Yu Hu will discuss her latest monograph, Good Wife, Wise Mother: Educating Han Taiwanese Girls Under Japanese Rule (UW Press, 2024). In 1897, two years after Japan began its half-century rise as an imperial power, it inaugurated an ambitious experiment to make modern Japanese citizens out of Han Taiwanese schoolgirls in its first overseas colony, Taiwan. The goal of this education was to train Taiwanese boys and men to become government clerks and teachers, and girls and women to become “good wives, wise mothers” (ryōsai kenbo). This gendered education was part of dōka, the Japanese assimilation program, as it sought to make everyone in the empire “Japanese” as equals by teaching the Japanese language and imperial ethics with gendered roles. Using periodicals, textbooks, fictions, and oral histories and interviews, Hu’s book investigates the creation, implementation, and impact of Japanese colonial education in Taiwan by examining… Event interval: Single day event.

LECTURE | Aswin Punathambekar, University of Pennsylvania | Voice, Video, and Vernacular: Digital Media and the Politics of Cultural Regions

Register | Campus map | Visitor parking info Taking stock of the centrality of streaming video and other forms of social media entertainment in Indian public culture, this lecture focuses on the enduring significance of linguistic and cultural regions. With a focus on Tamil digital culture and through a close analysis of key YouTube channels and streaming video shows including Put Chutney and Urban Nakkalites I explore the range of imaginations and understandings of regional languages, cultures, and caste politics that media companies mobilize in their quest for audiences and markets. Drawing connections to other phases of media transition during the 1980s and 1990s and building on a rich strand of scholarship in that refutes the idea of a pre-given linguistic-cultural-geographic bind, I ask how vernacular regions are being imagined, produced, maintained, and contested in an era shaped by digital platforms and majoritarian ideas of nation and citizenship.

Teamsters, Turtles, and Beyond: The Legacy of the Seattle WTO Protests — MOHAI exhibit

In late November 1999, the World Trade Organization (WTO) conference sparked one of the largest political demonstrations in Seattle history.

From the origins of the WTO to the legacy of these events on activism, policing, and global trade policy, visitors are invited to consider multiple perspectives and reflect on their relationship to democracy—an issue at the heart of the WTO protests of continuing relevance today.
