  • Memories of the 'Science War': Early Histories of the Atomic Bombings in the Two Koreas
    Events at Stanford - 21:55 Sep 09, 2021
    Date: Tuesday, October 19, 2021. 12:00 PM. Location: Hybrid event - Public via Zoom Derek Kramer explores the theme of liberatory science in Korean narratives of the atomic bombings. In doing so, his work highlights how North and South Korean conflations between science and developmentalism silenced Korean survivors of the attacks. The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were a constant feature of the post-liberation Korean press. During this time, the science behind the bomb acted as a marker of futurity that circulated in ways that directly commented on the nature of the postcolonial condition. For some, atomic science simply pointed to the predominance of global hegemons and demonstrated the liberatory potential of these powers. Versions of these readings are explored through an examination of the concept of “Science War” in Korean accounts of the Asia-Pacific War. While this narrative certainly demoted the authority of the Japanese metropole to define the future, it did little to undermine a Eurocentric vi...

  • A Thousand Thoughts: A Live Documentary by Sam Green and Kronos Quartet
    Events at Stanford - 15:47 Sep 01, 2021
    Date: Wednesday, October 6, 2021. 7:30 PM. Location: Bing Concert Hall Oscar-nominated filmmakers Sam Green and Joe Bini teamed up with Grammy-winning Kronos Quartet for a multimedia performance piece that blends live music and narration with archival footage and filmed interviews with prominent artists such as Philip Glass, Tanya Tagaq, Steve Reich, Wu Man, and Terry Riley. Together on stage, Green and Kronos interact with the stirring cinematic imagery to craft an important record and exploration of late 20th and early 21st-century music. Transcending the typical live music and film event, this collaboration becomes a meditation on music itself—the act of listening to it closely, the experience of feeling it deeply, and the power that it has to change the world.

  • Book Talk: Green Parties in Taiwan: Alternative Politics in Taiwan
    Events at Stanford - 16:00 Aug 23, 2021
    Date: Tuesday, October 5, 2021. 12:00 PM. Location: Zoom webinar Examining the Green Party Taiwan (GPT) since its establishment through the aftermath of the most recent national elections in January 2020, this book focuses on Taiwan’s most important movement party over the last two and a half decades. Despite its limited electoral impact, its leaders have played a critical role in a range of social movements, including anti-nuclear and LGBT rights campaigns. Plotting the party’s evolution in electoral politics as well as its engagement with the global green movement, this volume analyses key patterns of party change in electoral campaign appeals, organisation and its human face. The second half of the volume concentrates on explaining both the party’s electoral impact and why the party has adjusted ideologically and organisationally over time. Based on a wide range of material collected, including focus groups, interviews and political communication data, the research relies heavily on analysis of campaign ma...
