PIMS 31 Launch: My Land, My Life with Siobhan McDonnell

organized by the Center for Pacific Islands Studies

Monday, April 15, 2:00 – 4:30 pm
Center for Korean Studies TO REGISTER

Land, and the kinship it nurtures, is the basis for sustaining livelihoods and ways of life. My Land, My Life explores the land rush that took place in Vanuatu from 2001 to 2014 which resulted in over 10% of all customary land being leased. In this book, Siobhan McDonnell offers new insights into the drivers of capitalist land transformations. Using multi-scalar and multi-sited ethnography she describes not simply a linear march toward commodification of the landscape by foreign interests, but a complex web replete with the local powerful Indigenous men involved in manipulating power and property.

Social Psychology and Authoritarianism: The Contributions of Milgram and Zimbardo

Speaker: Jean Rosenfeld, Ph.D., and Independent Scholar

organized by the History Forum, Department of History

Monday, April 15, 12:30 – 2:00 pm
Sakamaki Hall A201

With the rise of authoritarian leaders, parties, and movements globally, some historians are turning their attention to charismatic strongmen as worthy of study in addition to social snd political forces. This paper utilizes the work of social psychologists as well as sociologists to explain how ordinary people obey authority and conform to behaviors that are regarded as inhumane in authoritarian regimes that demand compliance with genocide, violence, and or marginalization of targeted groups. Stanley Milgram and Philip Zimbardo reached surprising conclusions in their 20th-century experiments on obedience to authority and on prison abuse. Zimbardo followed up his study of “The Lucifer Effect” with a study of altruism and heroism and whether or not resistance to malevolent systems can be taught. Other relevant research on authoritarian leaders and followers involves sociologist’s refinements to Max Weber’s fruitful theory of charisma. The recent rise of authoritarianism in the US and the prominence of the MAGA movement can be better understood through the application of these and other contributions from social psychology.

Rosenfeld has researched and published extensively in the fields of the History of Religion and Terrorism. Her current interests include trying to better understand the history and causes of religious extremism, including the popularity of authoritarian leaders and anti-democratic ideas. Can the work of important Social Psychologists help in that effort?

Artistic Resilience in Perilous Times: Exploring Afro-Cuban Music, Dance, and History

organized by the Department of Language and Literature of Europe and Americas

Monday, April 15, 3:00 – 4:30 pm
Richardson Law School Classroom 2
 
Featuring the rich African- and European-influenced dances and music of Cuba, participants will experience a vibrant island heritage that is not only extraordinarily unique but also strikingly familiar in its use of dance and music as a vehicle for overcoming historical hardship. 

In particular, participants will learn about the human resiliency at the core of Cuban tradition, forged by several million Africans of diverse ethnic origins who were brought to the Americas during the Atlantic slave trade. Over time, these enslaved people and their descendants creatively melded their complex African rhythms and dances with European musical traditions, such as Spanish flamenco and French contredanse, resulting in music and dance that is uniquely Cuban. Rich polyrhythm and graceful ceremonial dances are their enduring legacy. Their influence is pervasive in salsa, rap, jazz, and other styles of contemporary pop culture and entertainment today. 

Royland Lobato is an acclaimed master Cuban dance teacher and performer in the San Francisco Bay Area, originally from Guantánamo, Cuba. He holds a degree in education, specializing in dance, from La Escuela de Instructores de Arte de la Ciudad de La Habana (School of Arts Instructors in Havana), and has performed throughout Europe, Mexico, Cuba, and the United States. Royland was a founding member of the Havana-based dance company, Siete Potencias (“Seven Powers,” referring to the seven major deities of the Yoruba pantheon), where he served as Artistic Director, choreographer, and dancer. Specializing in researching and studying the African roots of Cuban dances, the troupe has won numerous national awards for its authenticity and adherence to perpetuating and celebrating Cuban folkloric dance traditions.

seminar

Ryokan: Mobilizing Hospitality in Rural Japan

Speaker: Chris McMorran, Associate Professor of Japanese Studies, National University of Singapore
organized by the Center for Japanese Studies

Tuesday, April 16, 1:00 – 2:30 pm
Moore Hall 258 or ZOOM (to register)

Kurokawa Onsen is a rare bright spot in Japan’s countryside. Its two dozen traditional inns (ryokan) annually host hundreds of thousands of guests who admire its landscape, experience its  hospitality, and soak in its hot springs. As a result, these ryokan have enticed village youth to return home to take over successful family businesses and revive the community. What does it take to produce this family business and one of Japan’s most relaxing spaces, and who does the day-to-day labor of hospitality? In this talk, I share findings from a year spent welcoming guests, carrying luggage, scrubbing baths, cleaning rooms, washing dishes, and talking with co-workers and owners about their jobs, relationships, concerns, and aspirations. I share how Kurokawa’s ryokan mobilize hospitality to create a rural escape, emphasizing the gendered work or hospitality, as well as the generational work of ryokan owners vs. the daily embodied work of their employees.

Infectious Disease in US-China Relations, 1900-2023

Speaker: Shana Brown, History
organized by the Institute for Sustainability and Resilience
 
Wednesday, April 17, 12:00 – 1:30 pm
KUY 201 + ZOOM
TO REGISTER for zoom link

Infectious disease continues to shape global political and social affairs. The late 19th-century crisis of the Third Plague Pandemic, which saw major outbreaks in Hawai‘i, Hong Kong, Northeast China, and Los Angeles, shares many commonalities with more recent crises, including SARS in 2002-04 and the recent SARS-CoV-2 pandemic (Covid). This talk explores the development of modern epidemiology and global public health responses amidst conflicts over national sovereignty and how US-China relations continue to be shaped by both common and divergent approaches to managing public health emergencies.   

Shana J. Brown is Director of the Honors Program and Associate Professor of History at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. Professor Brown is a historian of science and culture in Asia, particularly modern China. Her research and teaching bring the sciences and humanities in conversation, foregrounding the contributions of Asian intellectuals, especially women, to modern science and academic life.

Big Brother: Friendship, War, and Peace between China and the USSR in the Socialist Era

organized by the Center for Chinese Studies

Wednesday, April 17, 2:00 – 1:30 pm
REGISTER

Drawing on big data analytics of over 50,000 newspaper articles published in People’s Daily, the official newspaper of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), this international collaborative project delves into the CCP’s narrative portrayal of the USSR from the late 1940s to the collapse of the world’s first proletarian revolutionary state. The analysis reveals significant shifts in both the thematic focus of discussions surrounding socialist ideology and sentiments towards Soviet Union within Chinese official discourse over the socialist era. Notably, the distribution of discussion topics concerning the USSR appears to have been primarily influenced by China’s domestic political dynamics. Conversely, the sentiments expressed towards the USSR reflect a broader diplomatic spectrum, encompassing expressions of friendship, debates, conflicts, and instances of reconciliation between the two nations.

Qiang Fu is an Associate Professor of Sociology and a co-director of the Centre for Chinese Research at the University of British Columbia. His recent publications have appeared in journals such as American Journal of Epidemiology, American Journal of Sociology, Annuals of the American Association of Geographers, Annals of Epidemiology, Journal of the Royal Statistical Society: Series A, and Sociological Methods & Research.

English Translation of Togani (도가니) and the Expanding World of Translation

Speaker: Gong Ji-young 공지영

organized by the Center for Korean Studies

Thursday, April 18, 3 – 4 pm
Center for Korean Studies Auditorium

Atmospheric and fast-paced, this novel of manners set in a provincial South Korean city leads readers through the silent corridors of a school for hearing-impaired children and the city’s foggy back streets to a stirring courtroom climax. Gong Ji-young’s Togani (The Crucible), published in Korean in 2009, is based on a historic case of child sexual abuse at a state-run institution. The novel went on to sell nearly a million copies and, along with a 2011 film adaptation, prompted South Korea to pass the “Togani Laws” to provide greater legal protections for children and vulnerable adults. At a time when Korean popular culture drives cultural production worldwide, Togani reminds us of the power of fiction to effect meaningful societal change. Gong Ji-young is South Korea’s renowned author of over thirty books. Ju-Chan Fulton & Bruce Fulton are literary scholars and pioneering translators of numerous Korean fiction.

Play Like An Environmentalist

Speaker: Alenda Y. Chang, UC-Santa Barbara, Film + Media Studies
organized by the Institute for Sustainability and Resilience
 
Friday, April 19, 12:00 – 1:30 pm
KUY 201 + ZOOM
Email cg2020@hawaii.edu for Zoom link

What if starting up a computer game could offer us as meaningful a natural experience as going outside? Games, especially digital ones, are frequently dismissed as frivolous, arcane, or violent, and people tend to picture those who play them as antisocial homebodies. But research shows that games are played by nearly everyone, often together with others, and increasingly, that they are played wherever we go. This talk contends that games offer unique and playfully persuasive opportunities not only to engage directly with environmental issues, but also to foster moments of empathy, loss, care, experimentation, and optimism—important ways of coming to terms with our planetary troubles.

Alenda Y. Chang is an Associate Professor of Film and Media Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Chang’s work has been published in numerous journals, among them electronic book review, Feminist Media Histories, Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and Environment, Qui Parle and Resilience. Her 2019 book, Playing Nature: Ecology in Video Games (U of Minnesota P), develops environmentally informed frameworks for understanding and designing digital games. At UCSB, Chang co-directs Wireframe, a studio promoting collaborative theoretical and creative media practice with investments in global social and environmental justice. She is also a founding co-editor of the UC Press open-access journal, Media+Environment.

kabuki performance

The Maiden Benten and the Bandits of the White Waves

organized by the Department of Theatre & Dance, Kennedy Theatre

April 19-20 & 26-28
FRI-SAT at 7:30pm / SUN at 2:00pm 

A popular kabuki play, The Maiden Benten and the Bandits of the White Waves, commonly known as Benten Kozō, features five distinctive thieves with a mastery of masquerade, and a command of language from the gutter to the poetically sublime. Together with a full array of colorful kabuki characters, their schemes and backstories lead to shocking revelations, surprising reunions, startling twists and ultimately result in the realization that one cannot escape karma—though in meeting it, one need not abandon spectacle or beauty.

This production celebrates the long tradition of kabuki in Hawaiʻi, and marks the 100th anniversary of English-language kabuki productions at the University of Hawaiʻi as well as Kennedy Theatreʻs 60th birthday. Benten Kozō, presented in the 1963-64 inaugural season, is also a magnificent showcase for the hanamichi, an acting pathway through the audience which fosters an intimacy between actors and audience members. To this day, Kennedy Theatre remains the only theatre in the United States designed with a hanamichi. As in the previous 100 years, we are fortunate and grateful to bring community artists, guest artists from Japan, and UHM faculty, staff and students together to collaborate and ensure that regional “Hawaiʻi kabuki” thrives for the next 100 years. Tickets range from $8-$25. MORE INFO

theatre performance

Cherry Blossom Eskapo & Eva Hamok

Organized by the Late Night Theatre Company, Kennedy Theatre, and Department of Theatre & Dance

April 20-21, & 26-27
FRI/SAT at 11pm / SUN at 7:30pm

Double Feature of one-act plays that aim to bring AWARENESS about the dangerous implications of human trafficking and cybersex in the Philippines.

Cherry Blossom Eskapo or “Cherry Blossom Escape”, follows a young woman named Sarah aims to provide a better life for her family by going to Japan to work as a band musician. Unfortunate events take a U-turn when she learns that she is scammed and recruited as a guest relations officer (GRO) at a club in Japan. Escaping from the maltreatment and abuse of its Filipino club owner, she seeks refuge in the most unexpected places. She finds Andrew, one of the Filipino employees in the club who MIGHT be the key to her freedom and safety.

Eva Hamok or “Haunting Eva” is inspired by a true story about human trafficking in the Philippines. Specifically, about mail-order brides. This one-woman show follows Eva whose persona splits into two. Eva is a woman in her early 30s who used to be a mail-order bride and a babymaker. She has big dreams of becoming something more. The play begins with Eva receiving news that fulfills her dreams of being matched and married to an American, Mr. Jones. Plot thickens when her “other” self harasses and taunts her against accepting Mr. Jones’s proposal. Is this going to be the happy ending she’s always wanted? MORE INFO

Tickets can only be purchased at the Kennedy Theatre Box Office Window starting one hour prior to each show time (no pre-sales). Tickets range from $5-$10

in-person seminar 

The oink in Okinawa: Rooting through changes in Okinawa’s heirloom pigs and cuisine

organized by the Center for Japanese Studies

Monday, April 22, 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM HST
Moore Hall 258
To Register

Speakers:
Benjamin Schrager, Assistant Professor, Division of Agricultural Economics, School of Agriculture, Utsunomiya University
Sayaka Sakuma, Project Research Associate, Center for Promotion of Social Co-creation, Utsunomiya University

A rich culture of rearing and eating pigs emerged during the independent Ryukyu Kingdom. As Japan colonized Ryukyu and renamed it Okinawa Prefecture, pigs persisted as a resilient and distinct characteristic of Okinawan society. This presentation develops the idea of a companion breed to explore the unique relationship between Okinawans and their heirloom pigs. Here, we explore how this special partnership enabled unique socio-ecological formations to emerge and evolve. Historically called “island pigs” (shima buta) and today widely called “Agu,” Okinawa’s oldest heirloom pig breed is a small black pot-bellied pig that likely first arrived in the latter part of the 14th century but only thrived after the introduction of sweet potatoes in the early 17th century. This presentation focuses on local responses to three changes in sovereign administration. The first change is the interwar effort by the Japanese government to introduce Western bacon-type breeds like the Berkshire to replace island pigs. The second change is the postwar effort by the US government to disseminate Western pig breeds and industrialize pig husbandry. The third change is the post-reversion effort of Japanese industries to market value-added “Agu” pork as heirloom pig from Okinawa. These changes elicited a range of responses in Okinawa as relations to heirloom pigs and cuisine have continued to evolve.

colloquium

Equality & Elitism: Early Modern Women and the Philosophy of Friendship

organized by the Department of Philosophy

Thursday, April 25, 2:30 p,
Sakamaki Hall C-308

Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics famously restricts the ideal form of friendship to subjects that are “alike” in virtue (1156b6-8), which entails that “such friendships should be infrequent; for such men are rare (1156b25). Critics highlight counterexamples showing genuine friendship requires neither high degrees of similarity (odd couples), nor even a minimum of virtue (partners in crime). Call this the elitism objection. The charge of elitism is especially forceful in considering how women historically have been thought to be incapable of achieving true friendship.

Michaela Manson, PhD is an instructor at Simon Fraser University. In this talk, Dr. Manson will argue that accounts of friendship of some early modern women philosophers formulate the ideal of friendship in a way that averts the elitism objection while preserving commitments to virtue and similarity.

EAduation: Letters from Hawaiʻi to Palestine 

organized by the Department of Philosophy

Friday, April 26, 2:30 pm
Sakamaki Hall C-308

Cynthia Franklin is a Professor of English at UHM, cofounding member of Students and Faculty for Justice in Palestine at UH (SFJP@UH), and author of Narrating Humanity: Life Writing and Movement Politics from Palestine to Mauna Kea (2023). Māhealani Ahia is a Kanaka ʻŌiwi artist, scholar, activist, songcatcher and storykeeper with lineal ties to Maui. She is a PhD candidate in English (Hawaiian life writing) and certificate student in Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies at UHM.

Structured as a series of letters to their audience and to one another, this talk with Franklin and Ahia explores practices of solidarity from Hawaiʻi to Palestine. They are particularly interested in the role stories have to play in creating bonds of friendship that are at the core of political community, and to the role they play in EAducation. This concept bridges liberation and learning.
