Last year, Professor Yasunari Takada (UTCP) launched a new lecture series titled “UBI SUMUS” (where are we?). This series aims at identifying where we are, both in a national and global context. On February 20th, 2013, the second of the series was held with Professor Tadashi Uchino (UTCP), Mr. Toshiki Okada, and Professor Cody Poulton (University of Victoria).

Tadashi Uchino published a book, Crucible Bodies: Postwar Japanese Performance from Brecht to the New Millenium (Seagull Books).

A Conference “Asia without borders: Rethinking History, Anthropology and Politics” was held on 18th and 19th January, 2008 in Jamia Millia Islamia University, New Delhi.

“Okakura Tenshin’s English is so exquisitely Edwardian, almost archaic, and I wonder how his subtly nuanced writing can be translated into Japanese,” commented Rustom Bharucha after a lecture given at the symposium entitled “Another Asia: Beyond Tenshin’s Love and Friendship,” held at the Tokyo University of Fine Arts on Nov. 10th.
