    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.

  • By Paul Ramírez Jonas Installed at Umass Boston
    'Another Day' by Paul Ramírez Jonas Installed at UMass Boston Posted: Friday, April 17, 2015 11:01 pm by Tricia Graczyk Artist Paul Ramírez Jonas installed one of his works in the Campus Center earlier this week as part of Arts on the Point. Associate Professor Erik Levine of the Art Department at the University of Massachusetts Boston overlooked the project and, as a fan and supporter of Jonas’ work, was thrilled to bring it to our campus. Jonas’ art has been showcased all over the globe, from the Sao Paolo Biennial, to the Venice Biennale, and the MoMA in New York City. His art tends to blur the line between the artist, artwork, and audience. A lot of his work is interactive with its audience Photo by Gabriel Sanchez/Mass Media Staff which serves to make viewers more engaged and involved in the discussion the art creates. Jonas is currently a professor at Hunter College in New York City. He says he was attracted to the fact that it is a public university because “education shouldn’t just be for the wealthy.” He also enjoys the diverse student body and working collaboratively with his students. Jonas didn’t originally plan to be an artist, and went to college to study to be an engineer. When that didn’t work out, he switched to computer science and took a couple of art courses out of curiosity. His curiosity grew and he finished school with an art degree. He was drawn to life as an artist because of the unpredictability of it.

  • List Visual Arts Center
    List Visual Arts Center The mission of the MIT List Visual Arts Center (List Center) is to present the most challenging, forward-thinking, and lasting expressions of modern and contemporary art to the MIT community and general public in order to broaden the scope and depth of cultural experiences available on campus and in the Cambridge/Boston area. In doing so, the List Center strives to reflect and support the diversity of the MIT community through the presentation of diverse cultural expressions. This goal is accomplished through a number of avenues: changing exhibitions in the List Center galleries (Building E15) of contemporary art in all media by the most advanced visual artists working today; the permanent collection of art, comprising large outdoor sculptures, artworks sited in offices and departments throughout campus, and art commissioned under MIT’s Percent-for-Art program, which allocates funds from new building construction or renovation for art; the Student Loan Art Program, a collection of fine art prints, photos, and other multiples maintained solely for loan to MIT students during the course of the academic year; an active artist’s residency program that involves MIT students, faculty, and staff; and extensive interpretive programs designed to offer the MIT community and the public diverse perspectives about the List Center’s changing exhibitions and MIT’s art collections.
