Tokyo Modernism Research Seminar 7
特別講演「草原（ステップ）のモダニズム」
Special Lecture: “Steppe Modernism: The Grassland as Spatio-Temporal Dislocation in Fiction and Film”
Professor. Mark Byron （The University of Sydney）
March 18th (Monday) 2023, 4:00 pm-6:00 pm [UTC+9]
2024年3月18日（月）午後4時～6時
場所 東京大学駒場キャンパス 18号館４階コラボレーションルーム１
（対面・オンライン参加オプションあり）
Abstract:
Over the past three decades New Modernism Studies has seen a major reformulation of the temporal and spatial contexts of literary and cultural production. Considerations of deep time and peripheral geographies have gained prominence alongside more canonical texts, contexts, and theories, seeing the rise of New Regionalism, Oceanic Modernism, Global Modernism, as well as intersections with Postcolonial, Posthuman, and Anthropocene Studies. Yet literary and cinematic appraisals of one ecological zone have been largely overlooked, namely the vast grasslands of the world: from the Eurasian steppe to the prairies of North America, the Karoo of South Africa, the Argentinian pampas, and the Wimmera of South-Eastern Australia. This lecture will examine how grasslands function in a variety of modern prose texts – from Olive Schreiner, Anton Chekhov, and Willa Cather, to Dino Buzzatti, Inoue Yasushi, and Gerald Murnane – asking whether there are stylistic or thematic threads linking them as ‘steppe literature.’ The second part of the lecture will focus on the cinematic representation of the Eurasian Steppe, from foreign film-makers such as Kurosawa Akira, Sato Junya, and Valerio Zurlini, to films by Central Asian directors that focus on environmental and cultural precarity, such as Sergey Dvortsevoy’s Tulpan (2008), Akan Satayev’s Zhauzhurek myng bala (2011), Sadyk Sher-Niyaz’s Kurmanjan datka (2014), Bair Dyshenov’s Steppe Games (2014), Marina Kunarova’s The Crying Steppe (2020), and Uisenma Borchu’s Black Milk (2020).
