Graduate Student SymposiaThe 14th annual UCLA Graduate Conference on Japanese Studies will be held on October 25, 2008. The symposium will explore issues pertaining to the role of translation in and around Japanese studies. Last Year's SymposiumThe 13th annual UCLA Graduate Conference on Japanese Studies held May 5, 2007 explored issues pertaining to aesthetics in Japan. Aesthetics as an academic discipline is a comparatively recent phenomenon in Japan, dating back only to the Meiji. Yet the ideals that form the core of many Japanese aesthetic theories have their roots in Japan's ancient history. What images of Japan are evoked by its visual arts, literature, music, and film? How have thinkers -- Japanese and foreign alike -- applied their aesthetic theories to these images? Finally, what are the ramifications of aesthetics on politics, society and culture? These were the questions the participants discussed and attempted to answer.

Not least of all the question of how to do so much in such little time.
