The Global Script Regime: Writing Systems and Writing Technologies in Modern Japan
Monday November 30, 8PM (EST)YouTube Live
The second lecture in our “Illuminating Japanese Studies” series is coming up! Join us with JF Former Fellow Raja Adal, who will discuss his research on the relationship of writing and technology, by focusing on the Japanese 3,000-character typewriter. Why was this typewriter unpopular in other parts of Asia but such a huge success in Japan? And how have scripts around the world, aided by such technologies, survived into the modern era? Live Q&A moderated by Kay Shimizu, Research Assistant Professor of Political Science, University of Pittsburgh, will follow.
We hope that this series will illuminate what exactly Japanese Studies can teach us, not only about Japan but about the world.
