The Power of Words: Joint Symposium 2022

(UTokyo-Cambridge Voices) Online/Onsite

24th September 2022

Lecture Hall 1, Law Letters #2 (Tokyo University, Hongo)

We saw the pandemic change our lives. We saw the border violated. We heard politicians telling us incredible lies.

In time of crisis many of us tend to lose confidence in words. Words, however, help us to resist the threatening force, too. How does it happen, then? How can words help us to gain confidence and create a new ‘self’ when we have almost lost our way?

In this conference, we will discuss how words retain their power in texts and how we can talk about their continued dynamism.

The deadline for registration is 22nd September 2022:　 https://forms.gle/XsQ5gk3Xf3mD3oGaA
