Symposium: Authorship, Collectivity, Community
February 28, 9:30 AM – 12:00 PM
The age of new media (with its incessant borrowing, remixing, and trans-medial cross-overs) has led to a world in which cultural production often emerges out of groups and multiple meditators, raising the question of authorship and ownership. These issues are particularly relevant to East Asian culture, where copying, deliberate imitation, extensive borrowing, and collective creation have traditionally been central as pedagogical tools and as key modes of literary and cultural production. This is the fourth and final in a series of symposiums on the issues on authorship, following up on the earlier symposiums “Rethinking Authorship in Japan and the World” (March 2017) and “Japanese Theater, Publishing Culture, and Authorship” (March 2018).
Workshop: New Currents in Japanese Literary and Visual Studies I

Symposium: Mapping in Japanese Literary and Visual Culture
February 29, 9:30 AM – 1:00 PM
Maps represent geographical and three-dimensional space as flat surfaces. This transferal is deeply interrelated to the production and reception of literary and visual cultures. This session relates mapping to media, words, and representational figures with a view to exploring the relationship between this world and other worlds, city landscape, and the awareness of the broader spaces of regions and states.
