SUMMARY:Religious Subjectifications from the Experience of the Northeast Japan Disaster
DESCRIPTION:
 Part of the Asian Studies Center Colloquium on 
 Transnational East Asia\n
 \n
 "Translation, Mysterious 
 Others and Transference: Religious Subjectifications 
 from the Experience of the Northeast 
 Japan Disaster"\n
 \n
 Six years have passed 
 since Northeast Japan was hit by the triple 
 disaster. But people in Northeast Japan have 
 been aching in their hearts, and their indescribable 
 experiences force us to rethink the 
 theory of religious subjectification. The process 
 of religious subjectification sheds light 
 on the act of translation and transference 
 when we think of our relationship with the 
 dead. The dead take on the roles of mysterious 
 others in Lacanian sense in order to construct 
 our subjectivity. This talk explains how 
 the experience of the triple disaster's survivors 
 allows us to find new ways of understanding 
 subjectivity and to theorize the unique characteristics 
 of 'religious' subjectification.\n
