SUMMARY:Deadly Curves: Dissection and Desire in Japan\, 1879-1930 (Paper Workshop)
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for our final Gender + Sexualities Paper Workshop of the Winter Quarter on Thursday\, 16 March\, at 2 PM.  \n \nWe will meet in HSSB 4041 to discuss Kandra Polantis\, “Deadly Curves: Dissection and Desire in Japan\, 1879-1930.” \nYou can find a copy of Kandra’s paper here. Please read the paper in advance and be prepared to share your observations and insights with the group. All are welcome. \nABSTRACT: \nWomen appear as phantasmagoric figures during great societal change. As scholars have noted\, figures such as the Modern Girl and the “Good wife\, wise mother” served as cultural constructs to alleviate or contain concerns about shifting gender roles in Meiji and Taishō Japan. At the same time\, stories of monstrous women that circulated during this time demonstrate the inability of these figures to contain gendered anxieties. My presentation examines a different cultural construct – namely\, the figure of the beautiful woman on the dissection table – that horrified and enchanted journalists\, novelists\, and anatomists alike. \nI follow the figure of the lovely corpse through newspaper articles that detail the “poison woman” Takahashi Oden’s execution and dissection in 1879. She also guides me through the fictional pages of Mishima Sōsen’s 1907 short story “Dissection Room” and Harumi Ryō’s 1930 horror novel Dissection of a Virgin. While the practice of dissection was coded as masculine and rational\, I argue that the idea of women cadavers both allured and confused the public. Indeed\, women’s corpses served as repositories for apprehensions about shifting scientific frameworks\, changing gender roles\, and the state’s increasing control over the body. The discourse surrounding women’s corpses on the dissection table – whether depicting them as objects of desire\, anxiety\, and/or scientific proof – demonstrates that the impact of dissection stretched far beyond the laboratory and into the public imagination. \nAll are welcome.

SUMMARY:Talk by Joshua Conrad Jackson: The History of Our Minds: Evidence for Co-Evolution of Cultural and Psychological Processes
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Joshua Conrad Jackson\, a DRRC Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Northwestern University and an incoming professor of Behavioral Science at the University of Chicago\, is going to deliver a talk titled “The History of Our Minds: Evidence for Co-Evolution of Cultural and Psychological Processes\,” on Thursday\, March 16\, 2023 at 4-5:30PM (PST). Please click this link to attend. Everyone is welcome!  \nBiologically modern humans are more than 200\,000 years old. Many scientists have devoted their lives to understanding how architecture\, social structure\, and language have changed over this history. Yet we know almost nothing about the history of human minds. Behavioral science research has instead focused nearly exclusively on contemporary people\, and psychological theories often draw from taxonomies that assume a culturally and historically stable structure to emotion\, personality\, morality\, and other psychological processes. In this talk\, Joshua Conrad Jackson surveys new insights into how psychological processes may have changed over human history in ways that challenge these taxonomical models. \nThis talk is part of a long-term initiative\, a Research Focus Group called “Emotions in History” organized by Professors Ya Zuo (History) and Hongbo Yu (Psychological and Brain Sciences). Led by a historian and a psychologist\, our group aims to promote interdisciplinary dialogue between psychologists and humanists and to foster genuine collaboration among scholars who study emotions from different traditions of inquiry.  \n\n\n\n
