Attending to the close interlinkages between visual and verbal arts within the Japanese Futurist movement, I propose a mode of reading in which poetry\u2019s acoustic and rhythmic qualities \u2013 putatively linked to a \u2018traditional\u2019 poetics and consequently overshadowed by the faculty of sight in modernity \u2013 become central to the critical mediation between text and context in the late Taish\u014d era. I will thereby situate close readings of these avant-garde poems within what Sait\u014d Ken terms their geopolitical \u201csoundscape\u201d (\u97f3\u98a8\u666f) to better appreciate the mutually resonant dynamics of urbanization, sense perception, and Futurist innovation in modern Japan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Global Japanese Studies Model Unit is pleased to announce the lecture &#8220;The Sound of Sight: Vision and Di [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":15910,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[83,97,96],"class_list":["post-15394","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","tag-events-en","tag-en-gj","tag-gj"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15394","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15394"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15394\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17769,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15394\/revisions\/17769"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15910"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15394"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15394"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15394"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
