EASC Newsletter: October 2006
EASC Newsletter: October 2006 EASC Newsletter: October 2006 A Letter from the Director Heidi Ross Dear Friends and Colleagues, Remember summer? (Relatively) uninterrupted days dedicated to research, special training programs, travel, writing, renewal? At the mid-point of the semester, those days seem like distant memories. Nevertheless, let me take a moment to celebrate with you once again the happy news we received in July when EASC, with our consortium partner University of Illinois Urbana- Champaign’s Center for East Asian and Pacific Studies (EAPS), received Title VI funding to become one of 17 U.S. National Resource Centers for the study of East Asia. As a member of this impressive nationwide group, our consortium brings together 140 faculty specialists in East Asia, making us a Midwest powerhouse. In addition to supporting outreach activities and cross-campus teaching, our joint projects include language pedagogy workshops; national dissertation workshops on East Asian ethnology, education, sexuality and gender, and culture and society; and summer seminars on transnational and cross-regional cinemas, varieties of capitalism, culture and cognition, and Daoism and folk beliefs in Chinese religion. We are now in the planning stages of a special consortium initiative, Science and Technology in the Pacific Century (STIP), which will bring together East Asian and U.S. scholars, students, and policy makers to consider the impact of science and technology on business and society on both sides of the Pacific. To date, our colloquium series has brought Professor Ted Bestor (Harvard University) to talk about “Global Sushi” and Professor Julia Andrews (Ohio State University) to discuss “Ink Painting in the Art World of Contemporary China.” The Unforgiven, by first-time film director and writer YOON Jong-bin, kicked off this semester’s film series. -

© Lonely Planet 22 Destination Japan Japan is a world apart – a wonderful little planet floating off the coast of mainland China. It is a kind of cultural Galapagos, a place where a unique civilisation was allowed to grow and unfold on its own, unmolested by in- vading powers. And while there has been a lot of input from both Western and Eastern cultures over the millennia, these have always been turned into something distinctly Japanese once they arrived on the archipelago. FAST FACTS Even today, the world struggles to categorise Japan: is it the world’s Population: 127 million most advanced technological civilisation, or a bastion of traditional Asian culture? Has the country become just another outpost of the West, or is Female life expectancy: there something decidedly Eastern lurking under the veneer of its familiar 84.5 years modernity? There are no easy answers, but there is plenty of pleasure to be Literacy rate: 99% had in looking for them.

Conclusiones La vendedora de rosas (1998), película colombiana dirigida por Víctor Gaviria 1. Objetivos Los objetivos principales de este módulo son: - introducir al alumno a los eventos, figuras y obras cinematográficas más relevantes producidas en Colombia desde la introducción del cinematógrafo en este país hasta nuestros días. - destacar los realizadores y obras más relevantes del cine de Venezuela desde sus comienzos hasta los últimos años. 2. Introducción En este módulo vamos a hacer un breve recorrido por el cine de Colombia y Venezuela. Como ha ocurrido en otras cinematografías, el estudio de la historia del cine colombiano ha de hacer frente a la pérdida de un gran número de filmes del periodo mudo. Asimismo, la industria de cine de este país ha sufrido numerosos altibajos a lo largo de su historia debido a su falta de rentabilidad en un mercado siempre dominado por compañías extranjeras. En Venezuela encontramos dificultades parecidas para el desarrollo del cine patrio. Sin embargo, merece la pena echar un vistazo al cine que se produjo en los años setenta en lo que se ha denominado la “época de oro” del cine venezolano con películas como El pez que fuma. -
