<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12pt"><span style="font-size:14pt">In 1923, a 7.9 magnitude earthquake shook Tokyo and
Yokohoma, essentially leveling Japan’s two largest cities and causing more than
100,000 deaths. The subsequent aftershocks, fires, and ensuing panic bred
rumors that “malcontent Koreans” living in Japan were setting the fires,
poisoning water wells, and plotting a revolution. To prevent this alleged
uprising, vigilantes along with police and the military massacred more than
6,000 Koreans.<br>
<br>
Partly to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the massacre, two unreleased rare
documentaries from Japan have been touring the United States since last
September. The films feature interviews with Japanese and Korean survivors, and
the first of the two sequel films "Hidden Scars: The Massacre of Koreans
>From the Arakawa River Bank to Shitamachi in Tokyo, 1923” will be shown. The
movie was directed by Choonkong Oh, a Korean resident of Japan, and is in
Japanese and Korean with English subtitles.<br>
<br>
The documentary is under an hour long, and will be followed by a discussion featuring
Jinhee Lee, a history professor at Eastern Illinois University whose research
focuses on the competing narratives of collective violence in the Japanese
empire.</span></p>

</span><span style="font-size:14pt"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-repeat:initial initial"><span style="font-size:14pt">It may seem
bizarre to talk of ‘expanding networks of cooperation in East Asia’ at a time
when Japanese Prime Minister Abe is telling the Davos World Forum that
relations between China and Japan are analogous to those between Britain and
Germany in 1914—the outbreak of World War I. Certainly, in recent years,
unresolved and increasingly tense maritime; expanding defense budgets;
contrasting ‘historical memories;’ and the American ‘repositioning’ in East
Asia are but a few of the headline grabbers suggesting that East Asia is ‘ripe
for rivalry.’ <br>
<br>
Yet, financial, trade and regional production linkages across East Asia have
never been deeper, nor expanding more quickly. Equally, formal regional
organizations such as the East Asia Summit and the ASEAN plus Three, are
exploding in number and influence.<br>
<br>
This talk will examine this apparent disjuncture. Much of the explanation,
Pempel will argue, lies in how countries answer the question ‘who is my enemy?’
In Northeast Asia particularly, on issues of hard security and military
matters, the leaders of China, Japan and both Koreas uniformly point fingers
are one another. That is far less true in Southeast Asia. And on matters of
finance and economics, most East Asian leaders are less skeptical of one
another and more likely to identify external finance and bodies such as the
International Monetary Fund as their largest threat, leading them to greater
cooperation with one another.</span></p>
