Cite As California Asian American Artists Biographical Survey Records (SC0929). Dept. of Special Collections and University Archives, Stanford University Libraries, Stanford, Calif. Biographical/Historical Sketch The California Asian American Artists Biographical Survey Collection, was begun as a project of San Francisco State University in cooperation with the Smithsonian Institution’s Archives of American Art, and was initially funded in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities. The collection has been housed at Stanford University since 2003 as part of the Asian American Art Project directed by Gordon H. Chang and Mark Dean Johnson. The materials found in the collection are the result of over ten years of work by researchers and students at San Francisco State University; the University of California, Berkeley; the University of California, Los Angeles; Sacramento State University; and Stanford University. For a majority of these artists information is limited and may only consist of a listing in an exhibition catalog, a mention in a newspaper, or a record in an enrollment document for an art school. We were however able to amass significant information for 159 artists. Research sources consulted were primarily in English. Books, exhibition catalogs and other published materials regarding specific artists in other languages were translated when possible. With 1965 as the cutoff date for this project, we have used the criteria that artists must have been actively exhibiting or studying in California by this time. Because of the date range of this project and the nature of immigration before the 1970s, artists of Chinese and Japanese ancestry predominate in these files, with artists of Filipino and Korean ancestry being fewer in number, and artists of other Asian ancestry not present at all. Description of the Collection Guide to the California Asian SC0929 2 American Artists Biographical Survey Records The California Asian American Artists Biographical Survey Collection is composed of biographical files on more than one-thousand artists active in California between 1850 and 1965, as well as reference files, and a limited number of files on artists active outside of California. Materials were gathered during the research phase of the Asian American Art Project that culminated in the publication of the book Asian American Art: A History, 1850-1970, and the organization of the material reflects its use for this purpose. (Please see "Introduction to Biographies of California Asian American Artists, 1850-1965" in Asian American Art, A History: 1850-1970, for more detailed information regarding the research methods and criteria used to build this collection.) The collection is composed of four series: 1. California Artists Files (entry artists)- files on 159 artists who are included in the biographical entries in Asian American Art: A History, 1850-1970. Files contain a range of materials including photocopies of secondary biographical source materials, information from census records, photocopies of newspaper articles (including internment camp newspaper articles), photocopied materials from other repositories such as the Archives of American Art and the Oakland Museum of California, original documents, interview transcripts and some audiotaped interviews, and examples of artwork (ranging from photocopies to color reproductions). Some information appears in the form of spreadsheets or other compiled documents produced by project researchers, and related materials and original source materials can be found in series 4.Audiovisual materials and oversized documents have been pulled from files and appear at the end of this series. Abbreviations used in descriptions for these files include: FAMSF: Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco CPLH: California Palace of the Legion of Honor, San Francisco SFAI: San Francisco Art Institute (formerly know as the California School of Fine Arts) LACMA: Los Angeles County Museum of Art SFMOMA: San Francisco Museum of Modern Art SFAA: San Francisco Art Association 2. California Artists Files (non-entry artists)-files on 1,222 artists not included in the biographical entry portion of Asian American Art: A History, 1850-1970. Contents of files predominantly are photocopies of secondary biographical source materials, photocopies of newspaper articles, and spreadsheets or other compiled documents produced by project researchers, with related and original source materials found in series 4. In many cases a file in series 2 may only contain one document. There is no detailed description of the content of files in this finding aid. 3. Non-California Artists Files- files on 91 artists not active in California for a significant portion of their career. Contents of files predominantly are photocopies of secondary biographical source materials, photocopies of newspaper articles, photocopied materials from other institutions, and spreadsheets or other compiled documents produced by project researchers, with related and original source materials found in series 4. 4.

President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, which ordered Japanese Americans to be evicted from their homes and re­ located to the desert forpurposes of national security. While there is much documented research on the historical event, there is little on the visual art that Japanese Americans produced during their confinement. This art, when previously looked at, was used to supplement documentation on the internment, and not appreciated in its own right. This paper looks at this art froman art historical perspective, ascribing equal importance to the art, the artists, and the social/historical context. The art shows a process of shaping a new identity, as Japanese Americans were caught between two cultures in a time of war. Some of the art is characterized by the use of traditional Japanese techniques, and other pieces incorporate more contemporary American styles. The art was also used as a vehicle for social commentary and personal expression during this confusing, lonely,and isolating time period. However, the art fromthe camps was produced by many professionaland established artists of the Japanese American community, and can stand on its own as fine art. This paper looks at the work of fourof these artists: Chiura Obata, Masusaboro and Hisako Hibi, and Mine Okubo.

  • Germany and Japan As Regional Actors in the Post-Cold War Era: a Role Theoretical Comparison
    Alexandra Sakaki Germany and Japan as Regional Actors in the Post-Cold War Era: A Role Theoretical Comparison Trier 2011 GERMANY AND JAPAN AS REGIONAL ACTORS IN THE POST-COLD WAR ERA: A ROLE THEORETICAL COMPARISON A dissertation submitted by Alexandra Sakaki to the Political Science Deparment of the University of Trier in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Submission of dissertation: August 6, 2010 First examiner: Prof. Dr. Hanns W. Maull (Universität Trier) Second examiner: Prof. Dr. Christopher W. Hughes (University of Warwick) Date of viva: April 11, 2011 ABSTRACT Germany and Japan as Regional Actors in the Post-Cold War Era: A Role Theoretical Comparison Recent non-comparative studies diverge in their assessments of the extent to which German and Japanese post-Cold War foreign policies are characterized by continuity or change. While the majority of analyses on Germany find overall continuity in policies and guiding principles, prominent works on Japan see the country undergoing drastic and fundamental change. Using an explicitly comparative framework for analysis based on a role theoretical approach, this study reevaluates the question of change and continuity in the two countries‘ regional foreign policies, focusing on the time period from 1990 to 2010. Through a qualitative content analysis of key foreign policy speeches, this dissertation traces and compares German and Japanese national role conceptions (NRCs) by identifying policymakers‘ perceived duties and responsibilities of their country in international politics. Furthermore, it investigates actual foreign policy behavior in two case studies about German and Japanese policies on missile defense and on textbook disputes.

Oba San Francisco, California Fall Term 2017 Copyright by Richard J. Oba 2017 CERTIFICATION OF APPROVAL I certify that I have read “The Tanforan Memorial Project: How Art and History Intersected” by Richard J. Oba, and that in my opinion this work meets the criteria for approving a thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree Master of Arts in Humanities at San Francisco State University. I Saul Steier, Associate Professor, Humanities “The Tanforan Memorial Project: How Art and History Intersected” Richard J. Oba San Francisco 2017 ABSTRACT Many Japanese Americans realize that their incarceration during WWII was unjust and patently unconstitutional. But many other American citizens are often unfamiliar with this dark chapter of American history. The work of great visual artists like Ansel Adams, Dorothea Lange, Chiura Obata, Mine Okubo, and others, who bore witness to these events convey their horror with great immediacy and human compassion. Their work allows the American society to visualize how the Japanese Americans were denied their constitutional rights in the name of national security. Without their visual images, the chronicling of this historical event would have faded into obscurity. I certify that the Abstract is a correct representation of the content of this Thesis ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I wish to acknowledge the support and love of my wife, Sidney Suzanne Pucek, May 16, 1948- October 16, 2016.

  • The Cinema of Virtuality: the Untimely Avant-Garde of Matsumoto Toshio
    The Cinema of Virtuality: The Untimely Avant-Garde of Matsumoto Toshio by Joshua Scammell A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Film Studies Carleton University OTTAWA, Ontario © 2016, Joshua Scammell Abstract: Scholarship on the avant-garde in Japanese cinema tends to focus on the 1960s. Many scholars believe that the avant-garde vanishes from Japanese cinema in the early 1970s. This study aims to disrupt such narratives with the example of filmmaker/theorist Matsumoto Toshio. Matsumoto is one of the key figures of the 1960s political avant-garde, and this study argues that his 1970s films should also be considered part of the avant-garde. Following Yuriko Furuhata who calls the avant-garde of the 1960s “the cinema of actuality,” this thesis calls the avant-garde of the 1970s “the cinema of virtuality.” The cinema of virtuality will be seen to emphasize a particular type of contiguity with the spectator. This strategy will be discussed in relation to four of Matsumoto’s short films: Nishijin (1961), For the Damaged Right Eye (1968), Atman (1975), and Sway (1985) and a brief discussion of Funeral Parade of Roses (1969). ii Acknowledgements: In the classical world, artists often had their pupils do the actual work, while they took all the credit for the original idea. Working with Aboubakar Sanogo is almost the opposite. No words can express my gratitude towards his generous commitment of time and energy towards this project, and his nurturing open-mindedness to my more abstract ideas.
