The Philippine National Hero’s Chinese Ancestry: Issues and Controversies

organized by the Center for Chinese Studies, co-sponsored by Center for Philippine Studies, IPLL and EALL

Wednesday, February 2, 12 - 1:30 pm 

Associate Professor Pia Arboleda (UHM Indo-Pacific Languages and Literatures)
Associate Professor Ming-bao Yue (UHM Department of East Asian Languages & Literatures, and Director of the Center for Chinese Studies)

This webinar will draw upon Craig Austin’s Lineage, Life and Labors of Jose Rizal: Philippine Patriot, Nick Joaquin’s A Question of Heroes, Alfonso O. Ang’s (a.k.a. Tu Yiban) Rizal’s Chinese Overcoat, as well as writing by scholars like Ambeth Ocampo and John Schumacher, and offer insights on how the misinterpretation of Ibarra’s character in Rizal’s major novels, Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo, have contributed to the controversy. Professor Arboleda's aim is to inform about Rizal’s Chinese ancestry as a way of confronting and rejecting anti-Chinese attitudes.

Being yourself in another language —The identity construction of international students in Japan

organized by the Department of East Asian Languages & Literature
 
Friday, February 4, 3 - 4:30 pm

The expansion of global mobility has increased the number of people conducting their lives in a second language, a key component of which is expressing themselves to others. This study focuses on processes of jointly-accomplished identity construction found through discourse analysis of casual conversations between international students enrolled in Japanese universities and their L1-Japanese-speaker peers. Through the use of three resources the speaker pairs construct a relationship through their mutual acceptance of the storylines that form the basis of their positioning (Davies & Harré 1990) in interaction. Additionally, the study investigates the participants’ stated folklinguistic theories (Miller & Ginsberg 1995; Imai, Nojima, & Okada 2012), about the functions and culturally-grounded indexical values of these resources used in positioning.

art exhibition

KEN OKIISHI: A MODEL CHILDHOOD 

organized by the Department of Art & Art History

through May 6, 2022 
The Art Gallery, Art Building [map]
Gallery Hours: Sunday – Thursday 12 – 4pm

The exhibition focuses on ruptures and paradigm shifts that destroy not only continuity in living one’s life, but the ability to think in coherent streams of thought, and conjectures that these modes of dis-formation are important central dis-organizing principles of writing American history. In A Model Childhood, Okiishi approaches history through the lens of family and oral history, bringing both an intimacy and complexity to official narratives of the time period. Immediately after the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941, Okiishi’s grandfather, following a frantic phone call from his brother, whose house had just been searched by the Honolulu police looking for connections to Japan, decided to suddenly unload all traces of the family’s Japanese possessions by dumping them into Māmala Bay. This leitmotif of American identity formation haunts what ensues. MORE

Forrest Leonard: Care Packaging
through Friday, February 10, 2022
 
Care Packaging presents a ceramic artist’s perspective on waste streams as a resource, rather than a source of pollution. Leonard focuses on Styrofoam, which despite being recyclable occupies 30% of landfills worldwide. In Hawai‘i, Styrofoam packaging waste increased with online shopping during the COVID-19 pandemic, a sign that the climate crisis continues in spite of lockdowns. Rather than dwell on these negative associations, Leonard reuses the Styrofoam packaging as readymade molds for casting ceramic forms. Utilizing recycled clay and found colorants, he recasts the products the Styrofoam once carried, and adapts them as functional and sculptural ceramics.

The Haiku as Visual Form: A Stanton Macdonald-Wright’s Haiga Portfolio 

organized by the Department of Art & Art History 

John Young Museum of Art, Krauss Hall [map]
January 24 – May 8
Sunday – Thursday, 12 – 4 pm

In 1966¬1967, the American artist Stanton Macdonald-Wright created the Haiga Portfolio, while working in Kyoto, Japan. The series of experimental prints offer visual interpretations of haiku by seven Japanese poets including Matsuo Bashō, Yosa Buson, and Kobayashi Issa. Macdonald-Wright felt the immediacy of the haiku poem could serve as a model for the abstract painting he was interested in developing: It was a form that could quickly get to an essential truth while omitting extraneous detail. In the 20 colorful, quasi-abstract woodblock prints we see Macdonald-Wright revisiting the early 20th century European ideal of making visible relationships between color, abstraction and feeling. The result is a visually spectacular proto-psychedelic series testing the relationship between words and images. MORE
