u:japan lecture: "Shurijō in 2022: The Politics of Cultural Heritage on the 50th Anniversary of Okinawa's Reversion" - Tze M. Loo
From: Ralf Windhab <ralf.windhab@gmail.com>
Date: 2022/11/04
Dear SSJ-Forum list member,
the Department of East Asian Studies - Japanese Studies at University of Vienna would like to draw your attention to the upcoming hybrid u:japan lecture:
Tze M. Loo:
"Shurijō in 2022: The Politics of Cultural Heritage on the 50th Anniversary of Okinawa's Reversion"
Date and time: Thursday, November 10, 2022, 18:30~20:00 (CET, UTC/GMT +1h)
The Zoom Meeting will be open from 18:15 (CET).
Max. 50 participants (on site) + max. 300 participants (online)
In this hybrid lecture Tze M. Loo (University of Richmond) considers Okinawa's deployment of its cultural heritage as a sphere of action from which a different picture of the prefecture emerges. Specifically, he shows how current plans to rebuild Shurijō - castle of the Ryukyuan court and putative symbol of Okinawan culture - following a devastating fire in 2019 suggest that the prefecture is strategically fashioning a more assertive self that gives it an ability to bend mainland agendas to better suit its purposes. This assertiveness impacts the castle's rebuilding project, but also has the potential to contribute to the current prefectural leadership's willingness to take a stronger position vis-à-vis Tokyo to safeguard Okinawa's interests.
This will be a hybrid event, both live at the Campus of the University of Vienna and online via Zoom. Live participation is available for a limited number of 50 people.
