Crooked Nails Standing Tall: Images and Stories of Disability and Mental Illness in Contemporary Japan
There is a saying in Japan that the nail that sticks out will get hammered down. Over the past 15 years, Anthropologist Karen Nakamura of Yale University has been chronicling the lives of people with physical and psychiatric disabilities in contemporary Japan through still images and ethnographic film. She has focused on the social protest movements of people with disabilities in Japan and their refusal to be silenced. Through multiple modalities of text, image and sound, her talk will weave the story of disability protests in Japan with thoughts on the representation of the disabled body and mind in contemporary society. |
