Saturday, March 14, 2020

9:00 AM-3:00 PM

Knutti Hall, Room 205;

102 East High Street; Shepherd University; Shepherdstown, WV 25443

 

East Asian popular culture is a fascinating window into the lives and feelings of contemporary Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans.  As such, it helps American students connect with East Asians on a visceral level going beyond history and traditional practices.  This program features three speakers:  Professor Seung-Hwan Shin (University of Pittsburgh) will speak on Korean Cinema and the Korean Wave, while Professor Gordon (Shepherd University) will present the life of Taiwanese pop singer Teresa Teng, and Professor Rachael Hutchinson (University of Delaware) will discuss Japanese videogames.  The program will also feature an examination of how East Asian pop culture can be deployed in school classrooms to best effect.

The film follows the crew of the fishing vessel, Daigo Fukuryū Maru (Lucky Dragon No. 5) on their search for tuna. On March 1, 1954, the crew survived the Castle Bravo thermonucluer test in the Pacific Ocean by the United States, which was the largest explosion known. The events of the explosion as well as the lasting impact on the crew’s lives are retold through interviews of the surviving crew and narration.
