Dear List Members,
We have an upcoming event here at the School of East Asian Studies, University of Sheffield, that some of you may be interested in.
Anne Allison is Professor of Cultural Anthropology at Duke University and will be presenting here in Sheffield on Thursday 26 October, The Diamond, Lecture Theatre 5, 4pm-6pm (this will be followed by a drinks reception). Her paper entitled 'Relations with Dead Remains in an Era of Living/Dying Alone' will explore various questions related to the important topic of life and death!
Allison is the author of Nightwork: Sexuality, Pleasure, and Corporate Masculinity in a Tokyo Hostess Club (1994), Permitted and Prohibited Desires: Mothers, Comics, and Censorship in Japan (1996), Millennial Monsters: Japanese Toys and the Global Imagination (2006), and Precarious Japan (2013), all of which have made extensive contributions to the field of East Asian visual and cultural studies.
