Invited talk: Thoughts on Writing Japan as Part of Regional and Global history

Rebekah Clements, Principle Investigator of the Aftermath project, will give an invited talk “The Aftermath of the ‘First East Asian War’ of 1592-1598: Thoughts on Writing Japan as Part of Regional and Global history” at the international conference, Global Japan, at the École des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS), Paris, 7-8 November, 2018.

Prof. Clements writes “In this work-in-progress paper I discuss my ERC project, The Aftermath of the East Asian War of 1592-1598, in order to tease out some of the conceptual and methodological issues around writing Japan’s place in global history. I will present on three challenges facing the project: the politics of names, the question of “East Asia”, and global versus national perspectives in the writing of history.”
