SUMMARY:Étudier et comprendre la famille japonaise d'aujourd'hui
DESCRIPTION:Quelles sont les raisons qui influencent le désir d’enfant des femmes japonaises? Quels freins les empêchent d’avoir des enfants si elles le veulent? Quelle est la place des pères dans leur famille? L’implication des pères japonais a-t-il changé depuis que le gouvernement a mis en place des mesures pour les encourager? Et comment la situation japonaise se compare à l’utilisation des congés de paternité au Québec et au Canada? Cette conférence explorera les réponses à ces questions à travers les résultats d’une maîtrise de sociologie sur les femmes japonaises\, d’un doctorat portant sur les pères québécois et d’un postdoctorat supporté par une bourse de la Fondation Japon\, ayant pour thème l’utilisation des congés parentaux par les pères et l’image changeante des mères au Japon. \nLa conférence se donnera en français avec un résumé en japonais.  \nIl s’agit de la première conférence donnée en français organisée par la JFT\, qui aura lieu à l’Université du Québec à Montréal.   \nL’ouverture des portes est à 18h30. Café et collation seront servis. \nRSVP SUR EVENTBRITE \nヴァレリー・アルヴェさんは、国際交流基金日本研究フェローとして、2022 年-2023年に訪日研究を実施しました。本講演では、はじめに、「子供を産みたい日本女性を阻む壁」について扱ったアルヴェさんの修士論文について説明します。その後、多くの文献や資料などから、カナダ東部のケベック州とカナダの他の州における育児休業の適用状況を比較します。 2020年の統計によれば、ケベック州では79%もの父親が平均７週間の育児休暇を取得しています。そして、最後に訪日時の研究内容である「母親の変化するイメージと育児政策における父親の役割」について簡単に説明します。 \n会場はケベック大学モントリオール校（UQAM）、講演はフランス語と日本語（要約）で行われます。 \n午後6時30分開場、午後7時開演、講演後に軽食を提供します。 \nEVENTBRITE で登録する \n \n \nValérie Harvey a vécu deux ans et demi au Japon\, à Kyoto. Elle a présenté ce pays dans son livre Passion Japon et a traduit en français la poétesse Misuzu Kanéko. \nElle est également sociologue. Elle a fait sa maîtrise à propos des femmes japonaises; son doctorat sur les pères québécois\, puis elle vient de compléter un postdoctorat à la Kônan University\, sur les pères et les mères japonaises\, soutenue par la Japan Foundation. \nElle intervient souvent sur les ondes de Radio-Canada pour parler du monde entier\, et très souvent du Japon. Elle a réalisé huit courts documentaires de la série Konnichiwa こんにちは sur YouTube qui présentent les mariages\, la calligraphie\, les saisons de Kyoto\, la gestion des déchets\, les trains\, les vins japonais\, les châteaux et l’identité okinawaïenne. \nComme autrice\, elle a imaginé un Japon nordique dans trois romans fantasy Les Fleurs du Nord (Prix jeunesse des univers parallèles 2018)\, L’Ombre du Shinobi et L’Héritage du Kami. Elle a aussi composé plusieurs chansons en japonais et a remporté le prix spécial du jury au concours Nodo Jiman/Let’s sing Japanese Songs de la NHK en 2021. \n \nCo-presenter:

SUMMARY:We Are Little Zombies (virtual film screening)
DESCRIPTION:We Are Little Zombies ウィーアーリトルゾンビーズ\nFriday\, May 19\, 5:59PM (ET) to Sunday\, May 21\, 11:59 PM (ET) \nDirected by NAGAHISA Makoto • 2019 • Music / Drama • 120 min. • Presented in Japanese with English subtitles • Virtual/Online Film Screening • Admission Free • Trailer • RSVP Required (register below) \nWhen four young orphans—Hikari\, Ikuko\, Ishi\, and Takemura—first meet\, their parents’ bodies are being turned into dust\, like fine Parmesan atop a plate of spaghetti Bolognese\, and yet none of them can shed a tear. They are like zombies; devoid of all emotion. With no family\, no future\, no dreams\, and no way to move forward\, the young teens decide that the first level of this new existence involves salvaging a gaming console\, an old electric bass\, and a charred wok from their former homes—just enough to start a band-and then conquer the world. Tragedy\, comedy\, music\, social criticism\, and teenage angst are all subsumed in this eccentric cinematic tsunami. \nWe Are Little Zombies held its World Premiere at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival and took home the World Cinema Dramatic Special Jury Award for Originality. \n \n \nDirector Biography: \nBorn August 2\, 1984 in Tokyo\, Nagahisa directed films and music videos while working at a major ad agency as a commercial planner. In 2017\, he wrote and directed the short film And So We Put Goldfish In The Pool\, and was the first Japanese filmmaker to win the Short Film Grand Jury Prize at the 33rd Sundance Film Festival. His award-winning short film garnered attention both in Japan and around the world for its compelling cinematography\, clever storytelling\, and entrancing music\, promising the birth of a new talent in the wake of veterans such as IWAI Shunji (A Bride for Rip Van Winkle) and NAKA SHIMA Tetsuya (The World of Kanako). In 2019\, director Nagahisa has made his long-awaited full-length debut with We Are Little Zombies. \nDirector Statement: \nI staked everything in my life on We Are Little Zombies. The film is like a music festival featuring all my favorite actors\, musicians\, and artists. It may be a bit hectic\, but I hope it can touch the heart of at least one troubled person who might be crouching in a dark room\, alone\, looking for help. I\, myself\, cried several times at the preview screening. I can’t wait for everyone to see it. \n \n \n \nRelated Programming:\n \nLive From Tokyo is the first screening in our LIVE HOUSE FILMS series. This May and June\, JFT is stoked to present film screenings in celebration of J-rock and the Japanese indie music scene! \nLive From Tokyo \nWarp back to Japan in the late 2000s through the back streets in Shinjuku\, the intersections in Shibuya\, the alleys in Koenji\, and explore the innovative artists that populate the multi-faceted underground music scene of Tokyo. \nStream Canada-wide\, May 5-7 \nOn-Gaku: Our Sound 音楽 \nWhen you’re a bored teenager looking for thrills\, sometimes the only thing you can turn to is rock ’n roll. Having no skill\, money\, or even a full set of drums\, a feared trio of high school delinquents nevertheless decide they are destined for musical glory in a quest to impress their only friend Aya\, avoid a rival gang\, and – most importantly – jam out. \nJune 3 at Cineplex Scarborough \n \nFurther Explore the World of J-Rock & Japanese Indie Music with JFT Library Items! \nDeepen your appreciation of J-rock and Japanese indie music with JFT Library’s items curated for the Live House Films series!
