SUMMARY:Open Edo Core Program | Conference 1: Global Edo: Edo in the World

DESCRIPTION:The subject of this initial conference is the longstanding myth
	 that Japan was hermetically sealed from the rest of the world from the 16
	30s to 1853. While international travel and trade were indeed forbidden\, 
	Japan remained networked with those beyond its shores through trade with t
	he continent\, the Dutch\, the Ainu\, and the Ryukyus. During this period\
	, fantasies of Japan proliferated abroad\, just as fantasies of the outsid
	e world proliferated in Japan. Yet the restrictions on international excha
	nge did not mean that Japan was somehow isolated from modernity. In fact\,
	 the metropolis of Edo actually exhibited many of the aspects that would l
	ater come to be seen as “modern” by the European definition of the term. P
	ut more forcefully\, early modernity seemed to thrive in a society that es
	chewed the Eurocentric model of “globalization.” Likewise\, one should not
	 conflate the Edo metropolis with the eponymous era\, for an exciting feat
	ure of early modern Japan is the existence of multiple metropolitan center
	s\, from Osaka and Kyoto to Nagasaki. This initial conference will reframe
	 the Edo period in more porous\, global\, networked\, and dynamic terms.\n
	\nThe conference is free to attend with advance registration. The full con
	ference schedule and registration form are available on our event website.
