La série de conférences de la Graduate School of East Asian Studies Current Research on East Asia 2024-2025 se déroule un jeudi par mois à partir de septembre à l’Université Paris Cité. Nous accueillons le jeudi 26 septembre prochain Naoko Shimazu, professeur d’histoire à l’Université de Tokyo. Cette conférence animée par Ken Daimaru a lieu en salle Léon Vandermeersch (481C, 4e étage, bâtiment C des Grands Moulins, 5 rue Thomas Mann, 75013, Paris) et en visioconférence, de 17h00 à 18h30.
What does privileging visual sources mean in studying diplomacy and diplomatic history? How do we do this? In this presentation, I share my collaborative experience in leading an interdisciplinary team of scholars (historians, international relations, art historian, media studies, photojournalist) to consider what it means to engage meaningfully with visual materials as a key to unlocking some of the explicit and implicit symbolic meanings embedded in them. Examples are drawn from the forthcoming edited volume, Cold War Asia: A Visual History of Global Diplomacy (Cambridge University Press), including Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Yugoslavia, among others.
Naoko Shimazu is a Professor at Tokyo College, International Institute of Advanced Study, University of Tokyo. Formerly, she was Research Cluster Leader of Inter-Asia Engagements at the Asia Research Institute, National University of Singapore, and Professor of Humanities at Yale-NUS College in 2016–2023. She is a global historian of Asia. Together with Gerard McCarthy and Yang Yang, she initiated the oral history project “Living with Covid-19 in Southeast Asia: Crisis, Control, and Community” which gathered data from ten ASEAN countries during 2020–2022 and created an archive of oral history and visual repository of over 100 interviews. Her current major project is on the cultural history of global diplomacy. Her major publications include Japan, Race and Equality: Racial Equality Proposal of 1919 (1998), and Japanese Society at War: Death, Memory and the Russo-Japanese War (2009). She is co-editor of The Russian Revolution in Asia (2022), Cold War Asia: A Visual History of Global Diplomacy (2024), and the Oxford Handbook of the Cultural History of Global Diplomacy, c.1750––2000 (forthcoming 2024).
