EIHS Workshop: Public/Private Selves: (In)visibilities, Identities, and Communities

Friday, February 2, 2018
12:00-2:00 PM
1014 Tisch Hall Map
This panel engages themes from Gregory Pflugfelder’s article “The Nation-State, the Age/Gender System, and the Reconstitution of Erotic Desire in Nineteenth-Century Japan.” Moving from late medieval Japan to colonial Lima and finally 1960-70s Italy, presenters discuss various ways in which material and visual signifiers shape personal and communal identities. Dr. Pflugfelder will provide a brief discussion of the article prior to presentations. Pre-reading is encouraged but not necessary. The article is available at: www.jstor.org/stable/23357429.
