That’s Not How I Remember It is a one-night event celebrating Akira Kurosawa’s 1951 Rashomon, the film widely credited for “introducing Japanese cinema to the West.” This seventieth anniversary of its release, join us for a discussion of Rashomon’s outsized impact on global filmmaking norms and foreign perceptions of Japanese culture.

Superdeep Seminar
The Humanities Research Center is pleased to announce the launch of the Superdeep Seminar, led by Professor Nathan Hauthaler.
The Superdeep Seminar is a work-in-progess seminar for DKU’s undergraduate philosophical community (broadly construed). The seminar meets regularly to allow students to present, workshop, and refine their philosophical projects (essays, presentations, signature work, etc.). Brief presentations are followed by general Q&A; snacks and refreshments are served. The Superdeep Seminar thus figures both as a forum for focused intellectual engagement and a space for students to socialize and share their thoughts and interests. Everyone is welcome to attend.

To The Fleeting Water Say
The Humanities Research Center is pleased to announce the launch of a musical research project, To the Fleeting Water Say, under the direction of global fellow Maximiliano Amici.
To the Fleeting Water Say is an artistic research project which will culminate in a concert that will bring together on stage an ensemble of Western music instruments with one consisting of Chinese folk instruments. The artistic intent of the project is to explore the vision of transformation expressed in the I-Ching from a subjective, poetic point of view. Hence the title, which evokes the figure of a man standing in front of the very symbol of constant change, flowing water. This collection of new pieces will examine the compositional possibilities that the algebraic structure of the trigrams and hexagrams of the I-Ching offers, then inquire musically into the metaphorical representations that the book assigns them.
