As part of a two-day conference on representations of the human face in Japanese and Western European literature and theatre from the Early Modern period to the present, Professor Nobuko Akiyama delivers this keynote address, which will focus on the play Un Homme trop facile by Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt, based on Molière’s Le Misanthrope.
About the Speaker:
Nobuko Akiyama is a Professor of French Literature at Aoyama Gakuin University in Tokyo. She is an internationally recognised specialist in 17th-century French theatre and has translated the complete works of Molière in Japanese (Rinsen Shoten publisher, 2001-2003; Prize for literary translation, Konishi Foundation, 2003).
The aim of this two-day conference is to compare representations of the human face in Japanese and Western European literature and theatre from the Early Modern period to the present. In the literary traditions of Japan and Europe, the face is the source of one of the biggest paradoxes: on the one hand, it is universally presumed to have a meaning –– and to be readable ––, while on the other, the evidence of such readability has always been disputed. This conflicting nature of the face, vital to human communication, has been explored ardently by writers and playwrights from Europe and Japan, probing the effectiveness of physiognomic approaches and questioning the conventions of portraiture in a variety of genres, forms and styles. What have been the similarities and differences in the treatment of the face in these two cultural areas? Which main characteristics and mutual influences can be identified? The conference will endeavour to explain the role of the human face in ‘modernity’ in its broadest sense, with presentation and discussion from specialists on Japanese and Western European art and cultures.
