SUMMARY:Economic Humanities: What’s That?
LOCATION:WCH 4.118
DESCRIPTION:This event explores how economic questions are invigorating ne
 w research in the humanities and humanistic social sciences. Structured a
 round three short research presentations followed by an open discussion\,
  it casts the economic as a thread linking geographies\, disciplines and 
 scholars in the kind of common conversation that the siloes of academia t
 oday render altogether too uncommon. In the spirit of collaborative inqui
 ry\, the organizers invite the audience to join the presenters in stretch
 ing the limits and testing the premises of the economic humanities.\n\nBr
 ian Hurley (Asian Studies) opens the presentation portion of the event by
  examining how the aesthetics of beauty frame the economics of inequality
  in the Japanese writer Kawabata Yasunari’s famed novel Snow Country (Yuk
 iguni). Youjeong Oh (Asian Studies) then explores how money can sustain r
 ather than commodify the commons by tracing how monetary flows enable the
  protection\, care\, and reproduction of Jeju’s gotjawal forests in South
  Korea. Finally\, Jason Cons (Anthropology) considers how the economic fr
 ames questions of both the politics of future making in the Bengal delta 
 and the imaginations of land and value central to the problem of feral ho
 gs in Texas.\n\nIn the role of discussant\, Lalitha Gopalan (Radio\, Tele
 vision and Film) and Rebecca Lee (Asian Studies) elaborate the economic t
 hreads that tie this wide-ranging panel together before opening the dialo
 gue to audience participation.\n\nSponsored by the Humanities Ins\n\nhttp
