SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSAS Lecture Series | Inordinate Knowledge: Intimacy and Publicity in a Slum in Delhi
DESCRIPTION:This paper starts with a local incident of the abduction of a young girl\, her bodily mutilation\, and her eventual return to her parents. I explore the movement of stories around this crime and ask what is it that her kin and the neighbors knew and the interplay between knowledge and ignorance. The paper goes on to other cases such as those of domestic violence and sexual abuse\, to ask a question that carries a compelling force for me –viz\,. when we are unable to see what is before our eyes\, is this a case of survival\, aspect blindness\, or soul blindness? Do these differences matter? \n    \nVeena Das is Krieger- Eisenhower Professor of Anthropology at the Johns Hopkins University. Her most recent books are Affliction: Health\, Disease Poverty (2015)\, Four Lectures in Ethics (2015\,co-authored)\, Living and Dying in the Contemporary World (co-edited with Clara Han). Her forthcoming book is entitled\, Textures of the Ordinary: Anthropological Essays: Wittgensteinian Traces). Das is an elected member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences\, Academy of Scientists from Developing Countries and is the recipient of Honorary Doctorates from the University of Chicago\, University of Edinburgh\, Bern University\, and has been unanimously elected to receive an honorary doctorate from Durham University in June 2018. She. has received the Ghurye Award\, the Anders Retzius Gold Medal\, and the Nessim Habif International Prize \, in additional to Distinguished Alumna Awards from Indraprastha College\, and from Delhi School of Economics.

SUMMARY:Performance:Musicology Distinguished Lecture Series: Prof. Keith Howard\, Uni. of London
DESCRIPTION:The martial processional\, Taech’wit’a\, is preserved in South Korea through the maintenance of a limited and formulaic repertoire as Intangible Cultural Property 46. The revival of recent decades masks a break in performance at the beginning of the 20th century and a troubled initial redevelopment under Japanese colonial control. To do so\, the identity enshrined in the Property designation\, and the musical soundworld\, has been reliant on iconography. But\, the earliest iconographic representation Koreans have identified is in a 1600-year-old tomb on territory then home to a Chinese commandery\, while some of the most elaborate depictions of martial music come down to us from Japanese sources. How are these sources interpreted to create something iconically Korean? This paper explores\, for the first time\, the procession of instruments in a previously unknown Japanese 12m-long hand scroll that has been attributed to Kanō Tōun Masunobu (1625-1694)\, the Chōsen shisetsu gyōretsu zukan\, and the disguised musical activity in one of Hokusai’s (1760-1849) ‘100 Views of Mount Fuji’ woodblock prints. Neither depiction has to date been referenced by Korean musicologists. Both celebrate the extraordinary rather than the everyday: they date from a period when Korea’s relations with Japan were tightly controlled—over a 200-year period\, Korea dispatched just 10 envoys to Japan\, each following a regular\, seasonal path. The hand scroll juxtaposes Japanese samurai and Korean musicians\, while the second\, where\, a decidedly secular party replaces any martial overtones\, dispenses with formality. To the Japanese artists\, difference was tempered by their knowledge of Japanese musical practice\, while Korean scholars examining the existing iconography (including tomb paintings)\, bring difference into alignment with a Korea-centered history. Using these significant new resources\, the author explores how a specific martial music has travelled and transmigrated\, and how it has been presented\, re-presented\, preserved and re-preserved.\n\nLecture co-sponsored by the Confucius Institute and the Nam Center for Korean Studies.
