Discourse on the Postwar (sengoron) in Japan has predominantly consisted of debates among male commentators concerning responsibility for the war. Absent from these debates are questions of how women experienced the postwar era, and of how women have attempted to overcome their experiences of the war and trauma. This absence can be attributed in part to the lack of cultural perspectives—as opposed to those that are historical, political, and sociological—in Postwar Discourse.

For those who want a deeper dive into Medea or were unable to attend the February 22 YSC Session on “Radical Imagination,” this intimate and interactive dialogue with Shivaike Shah and Professor Eric Glover will serve as the culmination of this deep dive into the Classics through the lens of today’s society.
Please join the conversation on “Radical Imagination,” a YSC Session with filmmaker and producer Shivaike Shah, Professor Eric Glover, and doctoral candidate Chris Londa exploring how imagination spans across disciplines in research and practice (including the sciences, professional practices, etc.) and the ripple effects that creativity has on one’s work.
Sessionists include:
Writer and producer Shivaike Shah will present the Uprooting Medea project, which was originally developed at the University of Oxford to interrogate the performance history and legacy of Medea, as well as the classics more broadly. The project explores topics of race, belonging, and identity, by centering these themes already prevalent in Euripides’s original. Shah’s presentation will explore the creative practice of elevating global-majority artists through multimedia forms including theater, film, music, and poetry.
This presentation will explore the practice of slavery as it has manifested across global cultures from antiquity up to the present. It interrogates a theory first proposed by ancient historian M.I. Finley in the mid-20th century that has become a staple of scholarship in all fields of slavery studies. Finley posited that all slaveholding societies can be divided into two groups, “Slave Societies” and “Societies with Slaves,” and that this distinction shaped social and economic relations in the two kinds of societies in fundamentally different ways.
