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.”
