I have an article on Japn science fiction from the 1880s to the 1940s, which is out in Il Giappone (in Eng). There's a typo in the title (not what I sent, haha!), but I'm hoping to fix that. In the meantime, enjoy the robots. serena.sharepress.it/giappon… #sf #科学小説 #日本科幻
Edinburgh folks, I'll be giving a lecture on '100 Years of Japanese Artificial Life' for @JapanSocScot which will be a lighthearted break from the weather I hope! It will also be on Zoom. eventbrite.co.uk/e/dreams-fr…

🌏 Historian Aaron William Moore (@aaronwmoore) from the University of Edinburgh reflects on why he studies China, Japan, and Russia : not out of romantic fascination, but because they help answer big questions about culture, education, and modernity.

A very thoughtful review from @Yangguobin on the book Jennifer Altehenger and I edited over the last few years w/ support from @BritishAcademy_. We indeed struggled with excluding 文革, but thought this story needed to be told 1st--'The future still held multiple possibilities.'
"Some read Mao’s works on political and military strategies for lessons about office politics and career advancement. Not mentioned is Mao’s Cultural Revolution," writes @Yangguobin in his recent review of two new books on Mao-era China. lareviewofbooks.org/article/…

Pierre Nora nous a quittés à l’âge de 93 ans.
Pilier de la "Nouvelle Histoire", il laisse une œuvre historique colossale, dont sa trilogie "Les Lieux de mémoire".
Une traversée du siècle pour cette figure de l’intelligentsia française.
Pensées.
