Event: The Literary and the Nuclear: Thinking Wartime through Manga, Fiction, Art, and Translation Elizabeth Williams Wed, 02/04/2026 - 11:10

March 11, 2026, from 5:30pm
Lucile Berkeley Buchanan Building, Room 220.

Kobayashi will talk about her work across media, drawing on historical research to tell very human stories about the huge, faceless forces of war and radiation.

Erika Kobayashi is one of the most exciting writers and artists working in Japan today, creating works that weave together meticulously researched historical fact and fiction, guided by what is invisible to the eye: time and history, family and memory, voices and traces. Her practice spans literature, comics, and visual art, and is rooted in long-term archival research. Her works in English translation include Trinity, Trinity, Trinity and Sunrise: Radiant Stories (Astra House, translated by Brian Bergstrom) and the graphic work Seeing the Light: A Graphic Odyssey―with Cat―Through the History of Radiation (translated by Winifred Bird, designed by Brennan Kelly, and published by arbaro books).

Brian Bergstrom is an award-winning translator and lecturer. His writing and translations have appeared in publications including Granta, Paris Review, Aperture, Lit Hub, and The Penguin Book of Japanese Short Stories. His translation of Kobayashi’s Trinity, Trinity, Trinity won the 2022 Japan-U.S. Friendship Commission Prize for the Translation of Japanese Literature, and he is also the translator of her short story collection Sunrise: Radiant Stories. His latest translations include The Dilemmas of Working Women by Fumio Yamamoto (HarperVia 2025) and Capital from Zero by Kōhei Satiō (Astra House, 2026). He is currently based in Montréal, Canada.

Co-Sponsored by the Department of Asian Languages and Civilizations, and the Albert Smith Nuclear Age Fund from the College of Arts and Sciences.

1990s Experimental Film in Japan: Women’s Anarchic Visions of the Everyday

1990s Experimental Film in Japan: Women’s Anarchic Visions of the Everyday Elizabeth Williams Wed, 02/04/2026 - 11:10

Sunday, Feb. 22nd
2:15-4:15 PM
ATLAS 100

The Life of Ants (Ari no seikatsu) / Yūko Asano, Japan, 1994, 14 min
Benighted but Not Begun (Yukikuredo machiakazu) / Yukie Saitō, Japan, 1994, 22 min
The Place Which Isn’t Necessarily Wrong (Anagachi machigatteru tomo ienai kū) / Hiromi Saiki, Japan, 1996, 18 min
Night Park/White Roses (Yoruno kōen / shiroi bara) / Mari Terashima, Japan, 1997, 11 min
A Dandelion, Rosaceae (Bara-ka tanpopo) / Utako Koguchi, Japan, 1990, 8 min

Curated by Wakae Nakane and Miryam Sas

Emerging from Japan’s independent film culture of the 1990s, these five works by women filmmakers mark a quiet but decisive shift within experimental cinema. Enabled by the growing accessibility of small-gauge film and alternative exhibition spaces, the filmmakers move away from strict formal abstraction toward the textures of everyday life, bodies, rituals, and intimacies.

Across animation, performance, and experimental narrative forms, the films attend to gendered power relations, sexuality, and the fragile boundaries between private experience and social structure. Playful, unsettling, and resistant to easy classification, they articulate an anarchic language that renders the familiar strange, inviting viewers to linger in the ambiguities of intimacy and desire.
