Hiroshima-ICAN Academy on Nuclear Weapons and Global Security 2020
Hiroshima-ICAN Academy on Nuclear Weapons and Global Security 2020 Hiroshima - ICAN Academy on Nuclear Weapons and Global Security 2020 --- Contents --- Program Framework Profiles of Guest Educators and Coordinators Contact Persons Program Framework Introduction: Hiroshima Prefecture and the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons ("ICAN"), the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate organization, will hold the Hiroshima-ICAN Academy on Nuclear Weapons and Global Security 2020. Through this training program, we aim to nurture global leaders to make concrete and peaceful contributions to the world. Due to the global spread of COVID-19, the Academy will be composed of two parts. Part 1 is the online learning course and webinars, and Part 2 the in-person training program to take place in Hiroshima City. The dates for Part 2 are to be confirmed after carefully examining the COVID-19 circumstances in Japan and overseas. Further information will be provided at the end of Part 1. Program Framework: The program of the Academy is designed around four themes. The first theme, “Humanitarian impact of nuclear weapons,” is a crucial component of the program, particularly given that the Academy is organized by Hiroshima Prefecture and Part 2 is physically held in Hiroshima. We believe all discussions on nuclear weapons and global security must begin here. The second theme is “Political, legal and technical aspects – nuclear weapons and global security.” Leading experts in the field will offer videos to watch and documents to read as learning materials that aim to shed light on various aspects of the theme. The third theme, “Civil society in action,” will take up a wide range of civil society efforts including education, awareness raising, and advocacy.

(2020) the Story of Women Scarred in Hiroshima Re- Minds Us the Threat of Nuclear War Has Never Gone Away
Alexis-Martin, Becky (2020) The story of women scarred in Hiroshima re- minds us the threat of nuclear war has never gone away. The Independent. Downloaded from: https://e-space.mmu.ac.uk/626386/ Version: Published Version Publisher: The Independent Please cite the published version https://e-space.mmu.ac.uk The story of women scarred in Hiroshima reminds us the threat of nuclear war has never gone away independent.co.uk/independentpremium/voices/hiroshima-atom-bomb-women-japan-plastic-surgery-nuclear-threat- a9655696.html 6 August 2020 An immaculately dressed woman moves forward in her seat, leaning on her walking stick. Her clear gaze is undaunted by age as she firmly declares, “No more atomic bomb, no more nuclear weapon, no more war.” This is Shigeko Sasamori, an atomic bomb survivor. She is in conversation with peace activist Clifton Truman, the grandson of President Harry S Truman – the man who ordered the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on 6 and 9 August, 1945. Sasamori was only 14 years old when she suffered burns to 25 per cent of her body. She is one of the so- called Hiroshima Maidens who visited America for reconstructive surgery in 1955. It is now 75 years since Hiroshima was destroyed by Little Boy. In its aftermath, fires raged across the city. Concrete was seared salmon-pink by radioactivity and buildings crumbled from the blast. Death and cremation occurred simultaneously, as human bodies were 1/3 reduced to ash and the traces of their shadows were scorched onto the ground. It is estimated that 135,000 people died - many of whom were women and children.

Volume 13 | Issue 32 | Number 2 | Article ID 4356 | Aug 10, 2015 The Asia-Pacific Journal | Japan Focus The Politics of Reconstruction and Reconciliation in U.S-Japan Relations—Dismantling the Atomic Bomb Ruins of Nagasaki’s Urakami Cathedral Tomoe Otsuki Abstract: This paper explores the politics surrounding the dismantling of the ruins of Nagasaki’s Urakami Cathedral. It shows how U.S-Japan relations in the mid-1950s shaped the 1958 decision by the Catholic community of Urakami to dismantle and subsequently to reconstruct the ruins. The paper also assesses the significance of the struggle over the ruins of the Urakami Cathedral for understanding the respective responses to atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It further casts new light on the wartime role of the Catholic Church and of Nagai Takashi. Keywords: Nagasaki, Atomic Bomb, Urakami Cathedral, the People-to-People program, Lucky Dragon # 5 incident, Japanese antinuclear movement, the peaceful use of nuclear energy, sister city relation between Nagasaki and St. Paul, U.S.-Japan Security Alliance. The two photographs below depict the remnants of the Urakami Cathedral following the atomic bombing of Nagasaki. Both were taken in 1953 by Takahara Itaru, a former Mainichi Shimbun photographer as well as a Remnants of the Southern Wall and statues of the Nagasaki hibakusha. Most of the children saints of Urakami Cathedral playing beside the ruins were born after the Photo courtesy of Takahara Itaru atomic bombing and grew up in Urakami’s atomic field. Takahara’s photographs capture the remnants of the cathedral in shaping the Children play in remnants of belfry of Urakami postwar landscape and lives of people in and Cathedral 1 around Urakami.

From Manga of the Floating World, by Adam L. Kern. Manga! Manga! The
Semester: Spring 2019 Japanese Popular Media and Culture Instructor/Title Mark Hollstein, Ph.D./Associate Professor Course Description: This course examines Japanese history, society and culture through the lens of popular media. It focuses primarily on manga, anime, and television drama. However, a variety of other media—such as pop music, theatre and live-action film—will be discussed as they relate to these three main media. The course will begin with a look at the historical development of comic art in the Edo and Meiji periods, with primary attention paid to how the confluence of traditional Japanese art and Western techniques and style helped shape today’s popular media. Next, we will examine the uses of manga and anime in the wartime and postwar periods by focusing on their development from propaganda to works of mature social criticism. Of particular interest will be how these works both reflect and shape the debate over Japan’s postwar identity. We will then examine the means of production, distribution and consumption of manga and anime in Japan and the relationship between popular art and high art in Japan. Our attention will then turn to television dramas in Japan. We will examine their relationship with manga and anime while discussing how they deal with and influence a variety of current social issues including treatment of the physically handicapped, the death penalty and LGBT rights. The course will finish with a look at the popularity and uses of popular media abroad and how they are influencing foreign understandings and attitudes about Japan. Section 2 Course Objectives: This course will enable students to go beyond the entertainment value of Japanese popular media to discover their social and historical significance.

Introduction
Introduction The Ohio Japan Project began in the mid-1980’s when Ohio agreed to join with Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin to form The Great Lakes in the Schools Project, funded by the U.S.-Japan Foundation. The members of the project from Ohio developed a series of lessons on Japan. During a trip to Japan in 1988, the Ohio team discussed these lessons with educators in Japan and had them formally critiqued by the International Society for Educational Information, Inc. in Tokyo. The society published a version of the lessons in Japan, while in Ohio they were published as Learning About Our World: Japan. Again with funding form the U.S.-Japan Foundation, the Ohio Japan Project sent a delegation of teachers in Ohio to Japan for two weeks in June-July, 2001. While there, the teachers gathered information to update the lessons previously published and to develop new ones, which reflect more current developments in Japan. Before and during the trip to Japan, the participants spent a great deal of time studying how the Japanese develop lessons that enhance deeper understanding by the students of the concepts to be taught. These lessons reflect the way Japanese teachers construct their lessons to accomplish that deeper level of knowledge and skill development. In this way, students retain the information for a longer period of time, which will help them be more successful on the future state achievement tests and the Ohio Graduation Test. The original publication of lessons identified the connections to the social studies and foreign languages curriculum models.

Of Maus and Gen: Author Avatars in Nonfiction Comics
267 Of Maus and Gen: Author Avatars in Nonfiction Comics Moritz Fink In many ways, Art Spiegelman's Mausand Keiji Nakazawa's Barefoot Gen appear to be literary siblings. While of different national as weil as cultural origins, both works have their roots in the 1970s; both redefined the notion of comics by demonstrating the medium's compatibility with such serious subjects as world history and historical trauma; and both provided autobiographical accounts by featuring their authors on the page. And yet, the two canonic texts could not be more different in their stylistic approaches. Not only with regard to the cultural traditionsout ofwhich Maus (American comics) and Gen (Japanese manga) grew, but also in terms of how the artists depict themselves and what functions their avatars have within the respective work. Spiegelman brings hirnselfexplicitly to the fore in a highly self-reftexive fashion, following the autobiographical tradition ofU.S. independent comics. Nakazawa, by contrast, rather withdraws hirnself by replacing his original stand-in from the earlier work I Saw It, "Keiji," with the heroic kid Gen. This essay investigates instances where authors of nonfiction comics insert themselves into their works via avatar characters -- a narrative device that corresponds to the traditionally foregrounded roJe of the creator-artist in the comics medium. In tracing the evolution of author representations in nonfiction comics, I will create links to Bill Nichols's classification ofvarious modes ofdocumentary film. While there have been efforts to transfer Nichols 's concept to comics (Adams, 2008; Lefevre, 2013), none ofthem has focused specifically on the aspect of the author avatar in this context.
