This Week's Program Part 2
Let's talk about North Korea
Professor Annika A. Culver is Associate Professor of East Asian History at Florida State University, where she specializes in Japan and Northeast Asia-related topics. She received her doctorate from the University of Chicago, and also holds an MA in Regional Studies East Asia (RSEA) from Harvard University, and a history degree from Vassar College. As a Faculty Associate affiliated with the Institute on WWII and the Human Experience, she works towards globalizing the Institute, and leads several digitization projects on collections related to the Asia-Pacific War (1937-1945) and its aftermath, including archivization of the Oliver L. Austin Photographic Collection, which features scenes of Japan under the US Occupation from the viewpoint of a Harvard-trained ornithologist under SCAP who circulated in aristocratic Japanese circles. She has received grants and fellowships from Japan Foundation (Faculty Research Fellowship, Book Subvention), Association for Asian Studies (China and Inner Asia Council/Northeast Asia Council Research Grants, First Book Subvention), Institute for Advanced Study (Visitor Affiliation), D. Kim Foundation (Research Grant), Kajima Foundation (Book Subvention), and USIIE (Fulbright). Her recent book, Glorify the Empire: Japanese Avant-Garde Propaganda in Manchukuo (Vancouver: University of British Columbia Press, 2013; Seattle: University of Washington Press, 2014), won the Southeast Conference of the Association for Asian Studies (SECAAS) 2015 book prize. It explores how once anti-imperialist Japanese intellectuals produced modernist works celebrating the modernity of a fascist state in occupied China--reflecting a complicated picture of complicity with, and ambivalence towards, Japan’s utopian project. Dr. Culver is currently co-editing a volume of transnational scholarship on the literary production of multi-ethnic writers in Japanese-occupied Northeast China: Literary Perspectives on Manchukuo, 1932-1945 (University of Hong Kong Press, forthcoming 2018). She is also writing two monographs on the advertising of western consumer products produced by Japanese companies throughout the empire from the 1880s-1945, and on Dr. Austin's scientific work in postwar Korea (1945-1946) and Occupied Japan (1946-1950).
