- Reading Group
- Dept. III
- Kerstin Pannhorst
At this meeting we will continue with the 1908 Japanese newspaper article we started reading last month. It provides a summary of a lecture given by the Japanese entomologist Nawa Yasushi 名和靖 (1857-1926), under the title “Kōgei to konchū” 工藝と昆虫 (Decorative arts and insects). Following a brief introduction by Kerstin Pannhorst, who is currently a Predoctoral Fellow in Department III, we will read the second and third parts of the article. The text is written in Japanese.

About This Series
The Primary Source Reading Group is an informal conversation group where everyone is invited to share their research via primary sources, both textual and visual. Together we read, translate, and discuss selected primary sources. We address translation and methodological questions as well as challenges concerning transition from evidence to argument, and from argument to evidence. It is my hope that such conversations will help facilitate our research without creating additional work and that we can share and make visible what we normally do “behind the scenes.”
