SUMMARY:History and East Asia Center presents Aaron Skabelund's talk "Inglorious\, Illegal Bastards:  Japan’s Self-Defense Force During the Cold War" | Mar 1 | 4PM | HSSB 4020
DESCRIPTION: The Self-Defense Force— Japan’s post-World War II military—and specifically the Ground Self Defense Force (GSDF)\, struggled for legitimacy in a society at best indifferent to them and often hostile to their very existence. This talk focuses on the GSDF and its efforts\, in the form of natural disaster relief operations\, civil engineering projects\, and support for the events such as the Sapporo Snow Festival\, for greater acceptance during the Cold War.  \nEAC Inglorious\, Illegal Bastards Japan_s Self-Defense Force During the Cold War

SUMMARY:Women in Chinese Silent Cinema
DESCRIPTION:In this lecture\, Paul Pickowicz will screen compelling clips from Chinese silent-era films of the 1920s and 1930s.  Pickowicz will emphasize the diverse roles played by women and ask questions about why the women seen on screen\, including such iconic figures as Ruan Lingyu\, Li Lili\, and Wang Renmei\, were far more important than men to the success of Chinese silent cinema.

SUMMARY:Lily Anne Welty Tamai\, "Mixed-Race Black Identities in Postwar Japan and Okinawa"
DESCRIPTION:The East Asia Center welcomes UCSB History alumna Dr. Lily Anne Welty Tamai (Asian American Studies\, UCLA) for a talk on “Mixed-Race Black Identities in Postwar Japan and Okinawa.” \nMixed-race people born at the end of World War II made history quietly with their families and their communities. Wars and the military occupations that followed\, coupled with increased migration across the Pacific\, created a surge of interracial relationships\, resulting in a mid-century multiracial baby boom. Easily identifiable by their mixed-race features\, they were the children of the enemy: in Japan they symbolized defeat and racial impurity. In the U.S.\, they represented an extension of America’s democratic intervention abroad and for mixed-race adoptees in particular\, they embodied the salvation that the U.S. offered Japan during the postwar occupation. Interracial\ncommunities\, families\, and mixed-race individuals challenged the default narrative of White normativity in the U.S. military and in the post-war period\, while also expanding our understanding of the transnational Black Pacific\, or the diaspora of Blacks in the Pacific Rim. While Black soldiers migrated west across the Pacific\, some of their mixed-race children migrated east to the U.S. in the\ndecades following World War II. This presentation with center the voices of mixed-race Black Japanese in post-war Japan and within the militarized borderland of Okinawa to examine the tropes of hybrid degeneracy and hybrid vigor as these individuals navigated their lives between\ninvisibility and hyper-recognition.\n \nLily Anne Welty Tamai earned her doctorate in History from UCSB. She conducted research in Japan and in Okinawa as a Fulbright Graduate Research Fellow and was also a Ford\nFoundation Fellow. Her forthcoming book\, titled Military Industrial Intimacy: Mixed-Race American Japanese\, Eugenics and Transnational Identities\, documents the history of mixed-race American Japanese and American Okinawans born after World War II and raised during the post-war period. Dr. Tamai was formerly the Curator of History at the Japanese American National Museum and served on the U.S. Census Bureau National Advisory Committee on Racial\, Ethnic\, and Other\nPopulations. She is currently a lecturer in Asian American Studies at UCLA.\n \nTo join the Zoom meeting\, use Zoom ID 925 5728 2471.

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. The conference will end with a play reading performed by LAUNCH PAD\, UCSB. \nView the complete schedule and conference information at www.realismseastasia.com. You can download the informational flyer here: Realisms in East Asian Performing Arts.

SUMMARY:Talk by Prof Rui Kohiyama on American Women Missionaries and Romantic Love in Meiji Japan
DESCRIPTION:Please join us in welcoming Professor Rui Kohiyama (American and Gender Studies\, Tokyo Woman’s Christian University) to UCSB. Professor Kohiyama will give a talk on “American Woman Missionaries\, Christian Homes\, and Romantic Love in Meiji Japan.” American women missionaries are well known for their educational and reformatory intervention in various mission fields in Asia. Although their initiatives in criticizing child marriage and widowhood in india and foot-binding in China are famous\, those in Japan are vague: all we have been told is that they introduced “modern education for women” in Japan. This presentation will clarify the relationship between “modern education for women” and the missionary aim of creating Christian homes\, and point out the unexpected outcome of  missionary education: nurturing “romantic love” in mission schools. \nProfessor Rui Kohiyama is author of As Our god Along Will Lead Us: The Nineteenth-Century American Women’s Foreign Missionary Enterprise and its Encounter with Meiji Japan (in Japanese\, 1992) and co-editor/co-author of Introduction to the History of Gender in the United States (in Japanese\, 2010).
