SUMMARY:Chūshingura & the Edo Literary Imagination
DESCRIPTION:A lecture by Prof. William Fleming\nOrganized by The Japan Foundation\, Toronto with support from The Asian Institute at The Munk School of Global Affairs\, University of Toronto \nIn the spring of 1701\, a daimyō from western Japan drew his sword against a senior shogunal official within the hallowed halls of Edo Castle. This rash\, split-second decision set in motion a dramatic chain of events that is retold in a theatrical masterpiece that remains one of Japan’s most captivating and enduring cultural markers: Chūshingura\, the story of the forty-seven rōnin. \nChūshingura enjoyed immediate success on stage and quickly captured the Japanese popular imagination\,  inspiring all manner of imitators\, adaptations\, and parodies. This talk introduces several works of comic pictorial fiction based on the Chūshingura story and considers their significance as products of the flourishing literary culture of early modern Japan. \n\nAdditional dates:\nWinnipeg\nWednesday\, February 24\, 6:30 pm\nUniversity College 237\, University of Manitoba\nInformation: Asian Studies Centre  (204) 474-7047\nco-sponsored by the University of Manitoba Asian Studies Centre \nCalgary\nThursday\, February 25\, 4:00 – 5:30 pm\nICT 122\,  University of Calgary\nInformation: https://llc.ucalgary.ca/event/2016-02-25/chushingura-edo-literary-imagination\nco-sponsored by the Department of Linguistics\, Languages and Cultures\, University of Calgary \n  \n  \n\n  \nAbout the speaker: \nWilliam Fleming is an Assistant Professor of East Asian Languages & Literatures & Theater Studies at Yale University.
