SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: The Politics of Eros and Ecofeminism in India
DESCRIPTION:Herbert Marcuse (1898–1979)\, the German-American philosopher and political theorist who was a prominent member of the Frankfurt School of critical social theory\, envisioned a new form of feminist socialism in which Eros\, desire\, the domain of the body and the passions\, would be restored to its proper place as equal to Logos\, reason. In this talk Savita Singh will explore the politics of Eros articulated by Marcuse through an analysis of the politics of ecofeminism in contemporary India. She will examine a range of anti-development struggles in India\, from the work of ecofeminist activists Medha Patkar and Vandana Shiva to the Chipko movement to tribal protests in Odisha\, and will suggest that these struggles give concrete expression to a Marcusean vision of a feminist socialism that seeks to establish a balance between Eros and Logos and between the forces of life and death. \nSavita Singh is a Professor in the School of Gender and Development Studies at Indira Gandhi National Open University. A political theorist and feminist poet\, her research interests focus on feminist political theory\, epistemology\, and aesthetics; women’s labor issues; and the discourse of modernity in India. Her recent publications include Fathoming the Depths of Reality: A Conversation between Roy Bhaskar and Savita Singh (2019). \nSponsored by the IHC South Asian Religions and Cultures Research Focus Group

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Daylighting Conflict: Board Games as Decision-Making Tools
DESCRIPTION:Janette Kim will join us to discuss Win-Win\, a series of board games that play out climate risk scenarios. By designing interactions among players\, objectives and resources\, these games model the social justice implications of innovative financial and legal strategies. Equally important\, they model the space of cities\, offering unique ideas about the built environment in direct relationship to such dynamics. Together\, these two interpretations of a ‘model’ serve as a new kind of decision-making tool—one that imagines new relationships among economies\, publics and architectural design. \nJanette Kim is Assistant Professor of Architecture and Director of the Urban Works Agency at California College of the Arts\, principal of design practice All of the Above\, and founder of ARPA Journal. Her work spans across scholarship\, research and design and focuses on political ecology and the built environment. Janette is author of The Underdome Guide to Energy Reform (Princeton Architectural Press\, 2015). Her recent projects include Win Win\, a series of climate change board games and designs for collective ownership of housing as part of the Resilient by Design Bay Area Challenge. \nCosponsored by the IHC’s Parameters of Play Research Focus Group and the Environmental Justice & Climate Justice Research Hub of the Orfalea Center for Global & International Studies

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Approaching Classical Chinese Poetry in Early Modern Japan: Intralingual and Interlingual Translation Strategies in Japanese "Remarks on Poetry"
DESCRIPTION:Residents of the Japanese archipelago have been avid readers of classical Chinese texts in a great many genres from the very origins of literacy down to the present day. To varying degrees over the centuries\, they have also been enthusiastic creators of such texts. This talk examines how authors from the latter half of the early modern period (1603–1868) conceptualized and discussed the reception and composition of Sinitic poetry. What strategies did they use to make Sinitic poetry intelligible to a readership that did not speak Chinese? How did they understand these practices\, and how should we think about them? What do their writings tell us about how they perceived the borders between the Japanese and Chinese languages? \nMatthew Fraleigh is Associate Professor of East Asian Literature and Culture at Brandeis University. His research concerns the literature of early modern and modern Japan\, especially kanshibun (Sinitic poetry and prose). His work has appeared in numerous journals\, and he is the author of two books focused on the nineteenth-century Sinological scholar\, poet\, and journalist Narushima Ryūhoku.
