SUMMARY:Nobunaga Concerto - screening with subtitles
DESCRIPTION:UWM students in Japan 361: Translating Japanese Media will showcase their subtitling skills through showings of episodes of Nobunaga Concerto.  \nNobunaga Concerto tells the story of a contemporary high school student who travels back in time and takes the place of the real Oda Nobunaga. Originally a manga by the same name\, it was first adapted to an anime before it was turned into the live action television show and a feature length film with the cast from the television series. The TV episodes are what will be screened during this showcase. \nThe students providing the subtitles are: Chikashi Fendt\, Jihun Kim\, Taehyung Kim\, Zachary Kotecki\, Margarita Kulyapina\, Jack Mitchell\, Jordan Schindler\, Jasvir Sodhi\, Gabrielle Sweeney\, Samuel Tarman\, and Saiyuk Thao.

SUMMARY:Robo-Buddhism: Kokoro\, Technology\, and Spirituality in Japan Today
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Professor Jennifer Robertson\, professor emerita\, University of Michigan \nKokoro (心) is widely and innovatively used in everyday parlance and figures in many Japanese idioms. Kokoro connotes intellectual\, emotional\, and spiritual states and attributes. Kokoro is also a key lexeme in Japan’s two main religions: the animistic native Shintō and Buddhism. In August 2017\, SoftBank’s humanoid robot Pepper role-played as a Buddhist priest at a funeral services expo under the supervision of a human priest who assessed whether the robot was able perform “with kokoro.” When theorizing human-robot interactions\, roboticists also include kokoro as a crucial quality and effect of social engagement. Kokoro figures centrally in the titles of several Japanese books on robots and AI. Several cognitive roboticists are working to “imagineer” (imagine + engineer) robot kokoro through innovative software algorithms and creative interpretations of AI. Pepper was conceived as a humanoid robot “with kokoro.” Technology and robots have been developed and applied for both secular and religious purposes\, although the appropriation of robotic technologies and AI for religious purposes is perhaps less recognized than their secular applications. This presentation explores how religious technologies and affective human-robot relations are conjointly imagineered theoretically and in practice. \nThis talk is generously sponsored by the Northeast Asia Council of the Association for Asian Studies\, US Department of Education Title VI NRC Grant\, Asian Studies Certificate Program\, Department of Global Studies\, Department of Anthropology\, Japanese Program\, and Honors College.
