The 6th Annual Hasekura International Japanese Studies Symposium Yonaoshi: Envisioning a Better World

Yonaoshi (world renewal/repair/remaking) is the theme of the 6th annual Hasekura International Symposium, hosted by Sapienza – University of Rome and Tohoku University. We invite scholars of the arts and sciences to present their work. Quests to cure disease and prevent disaster; reimaginings of language, family, and other aspects of human society; and utopian dreams of justice, equality, and freedom, both as works of art and literature and as movements for real-world change – these are just a small sample of subject areas that might find a place at the symposium.

Researchers interested in presenting their work at the symposium should send a title and presentation abstract of 350 words to Questo indirizzo email è protetto dagli spambots. È necessario abilitare JavaScript per vederlo. by January 10, 2021.

The symposium will also feature a special panel on the ‘long 1960s’ in Japan and Italy. The panel will lay the groundwork for future collaborative work on the subject. For further information write to Questo indirizzo email è protetto dagli spambots. È necessario abilitare JavaScript per vederlo.
