Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies\, Columbia Universtiy \nWith more than 80 years having passed since the end of WWII\, only a handful of hibakusha (atomic bomb survivors) are left to share their personal tales of nuclear survival\, and the task of passing down nuclear memories has fallen into the hands of the postwar generations\, the generations who have no direct experience of the event. In this presentation\, Professor Igarashi will discuss two female Japanese artists’ creative efforts to position themselves as the legitimate inheritors and propagators of Hiroshima’s memories. \nSpeaker’s Bio: Yoshikuni Igarashi’s research focuses on Japanese cultural history during the interwar and post-WWII periods. His most recent monograph\, Japan\, 1972: Masculinity in the Age of Mass Consumption and Metavisuality (Columbia University Press\, 2021) focuses on the radical economic\, social\, and cultural transformation of Japanese society in the late 1960s and early 1970s\, stemming from the development of mass consumer society\, and analyses Japanese society’s anxiety-ridden and often violent responses to that transformation. \nThis event is hosted by the Weatherhead East Asian Institute. \nRegistration: To attend this event in-person\, please register HERE. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact Information\nJulie Kwan\njk4371@columbia.edu\n\n
