SUMMARY:Conference: Realisms in East Asian Performing Arts
DESCRIPTION:Realisms in East Asian Performing Arts proposes new considerations of realism on stage. Since its association with 19th-century innovations in European and American drama\, theatrical realism has largely remained limited to Euro-American definitions. We explore conventions of realism in culturally-specific locations and times across East Asia\, articulating alternative histories of realism that extend from the premodern into the present. Through our individual inquiries\, we aim to broaden the term’s analytic power and shed collective light on the diversity and versatility of this important representational mode. \nThe conference will end with a reading of the early twentieth-century play The Son\, by pioneer of modern Japanese theatre Osanai Kaoru. Translated into English by David Jortner\, performed by LAUNCH PAD of UCSB’s Department of Theater and Dance. \nConference Participants: Jyana Browne (University of Maryland)\, Xing Fan (University of Toronto)\, Man He (Williams College)\, David Jortner (Baylor University)\, Jieun Lee (Wake Forest University)\, Siyuan Liu (University of British Columbia)\, Jessica Nakamura (UCSB)\, Cody Poulton (University of Victoria)\, Katherine Saltzman-Li (UCSB)\, Catherine Swatek (University of British Columbia)\, Guojun Wang (Vanderbilt University)\, Miseong Woo (Yonsei University)\, Min-Hyung Yoo (Korea University)\, Soo Ryon Yoon (Lingnan University)\, Ji Hyon (Kayla) Yuh (Montclair State University)\, with Risa Brainin (UCSB) and William Davies King (UCSB) \nThe conference is open to the public\, but registration is required. For registration\, schedule\, and conference information\, please visit our website: http://www.realismseastasia.com. \nSponsored by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, UCSB Departments of Theater and Dance\, East Asian Languages and Cultural Studies\, History\, Comparative Literature\, Art and Architecture\, Carsey-Wolf Center\, East Asia Center\, College of Letters and Science\, and Abdulhamit Arvas

SUMMARY:The 2020 Diana and Simon Raab Writer-in-Residence: Jesmyn Ward
DESCRIPTION:Join us online for a conversation between Jesmyn Ward\, 2020 Diana and Simon Raab Writer-in-Residence\, and IHC Director Susan Derwin. Audience Q&A will follow. \n\nMacArthur Genius and two-time National Book Award winner Jesmyn Ward has been called “the new Toni Morrison” (American Booksellers Association). In 2017\, she became the first woman and first person of color to win the National Book Award twice—joining the ranks of William Faulkner\, Saul Bellow\, John Cheever\, Philip Roth\, and John Updike. Her writing\, which encompasses fiction\, nonfiction\, and memoir\, is “raw\, beautiful\, and dangerous” (The New York Times Book Review). Ward’s novels\, primarily set on Mississippi’s Gulf Coast\, are deeply informed by the trauma of Hurricane Katrina. Salvage the Bones\, winner of the 2011 National Book Award\, is a troubling but ultimately empowering tale of familial bonds set amid the chaos of the hurricane. Ward’s memoir\, Men We Reaped\, deals with the loss of five young men in her life—to drugs\, accidents\, suicide\, and the bad luck that follows people who live in poverty. In 2016\, Ward edited the critically acclaimed anthology The Fire This Time: A New Generation Speaks About Race\, a New York Times bestseller. Her newest novel\, the critically acclaimed Sing\, Unburied\, Sing\, won the 2017 National Book Award. Sing has been called “a searing\, urgent read for anyone who thinks the shadows of slavery and Jim Crow have passed” (Celeste Ng). Sing was named one of the best books of 2017 by The New York Times\, Time\, The Washington Post\, and Publisher’s Weekly. Sing was also nominated for the PEN/Faulkner Award\, the National Book Critics Circle Award\, and the Aspen Words Literary Prize. An associate professor of creative writing at Tulane University\, Ward received the 2016 Strauss Living Award and a 2017 MacArthur Genius Grant\, and was named one of Time’s 100 most influential people of 2018. Scribner recently reissued her debut novel\, Where the Line Bleeds. \nSponsored by the Diana and Simon Raab Writer-in-Residence Program\, created to bring distinguished practitioners of the craft of writing to the UCSB community. Co-presented by the IHC’s Living Democracy series and the Writing Program. \nClick here to learn more about the Diana and Simon Raab Writer-in-Residence Program.
