SUMMARY:Chelsea Foxwell and Brooklyn Zhao on Fact and Fiction: Picturing the News in Japanese Woodblock Prints from the Collection of Anthony J. Mourek
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Caxton Club \nMay Evening Program \n \n  \nJapanese color prints and woodblock-printed books are beloved as works of art and literature. Less attention has been paid to those woodblock-printed images of the Meiji era (1868–1912) which purported to depict the news\, especially events of the First Sino-Japanese (1894–95) and Russo-Japanese (1904–05) Wars. This presentation draws on works from the Anthony J. Mourek Collection now in the Hanna Holborn Gray Special Collections Research Center\, University of Chicago to understand how this traditional medium combined fact and fiction to express Japan’s new identity as a modern nation. \nChelsea Foxwell\, Professor of Art History\, East Asian Languages and Civilizations\, and the College Director\, Center for East Asian Studies\, University of Chicago. \nBrooklyn Zhao\, Undergraduate in East Asian Languages and Civilizations\, University of Chicago. \nRegister today\, here. \nPlease forward this notice to anyone who may find it of interest. \nEven if you can’t attend at the scheduled time\, if you’re interested\, please register. After the program\, we’ll send an email to all registrants\, asking if you’d like a link to the complete recording. That way you can see the program even if you couldn’t attend live\, ran into technical issues\, or simply wanted to watch it again.

SUMMARY:Adam Smyth on The Book-Makers: A History of the Book in Eighteen Lives
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the Caxton Club. \nMay Midday Program \n \nFrom the aptly named Wynkyn de Worde to creators of Zines\, Adam Smyth unspools the story of books by illuminating the lives of eighteen fascinating characters. Entertaining\, enlightening\, engaging\, and alliterative\, his book puts a fresh perspective on some familiar names while introducing others you may not be familiar with. \nDid Benjamin Franklin eat paper in order to increase the amount of fiber in his diet? Did William Wildgoose lead a campaign to outlaw quill pens out of deference to his namesake? While those intriguing questions aren’t actually addressed in Smyth’s terrific book\, he does use the broadest range of historical sources to revive and describe the sounds\, the smells\, and the atmosphere of the development of printing to reveal new perspectives on even the most well-trodden ground. \nSmyth is a professor of English literature and the history of the book at Oxford’s Balliol College. He may seem familiar to regular midday program viewers\, because other speakers have quoted him in their talks and because he is much in demand as a lecturer and learned guest in programs available online. \nMake a little history of your own and register for the May Midday today – click here!
