Date: Thursday, April 14, 2011
Time: 6:30 PL
Place: Henry Madden Library, room 2206
Throne of Blood (1957)
In conjunction with “Lethal Beauty: Samurai Weapons and Armor” exhibition
One of the most celebrated screen adaptations of Shakespeare, Akira Kurosawa’s film reimagines Macbeth in feudal Japan. Starring Kurosawa’s longtime collaborator Toshiro Mifune and the legendary Isuzu Yamada as his ruthless wife, the film tells the tale of a valiant warrior’s savage rise to power and his ignominious fall. Kurosawa fuses one of Shakespeare’s greatest tragedies with the formal elements of Japanese Noh theater to make a Macbeth that is all his own-a classic tale of ambition and duplicity set against a ghostly landscape of fog and inescapable doom. Criterion film version, in Japanese with English subtitles. 109 minutes.
Discussant: Kerry Yo Nakagawa
Co-sponsors: Henry Madden Library & Japanese Students Association

“The Struggle for Armenian Genocide Recognition in the United States”
The Armenian Studies Program at Fresno State presents
Michael Bobelian, Free-Lance Writer and Editor
“The Struggle for Armenian Genocide Recognition in the United States”
Date: Wednesday, April 21, 2010
Time: 7:30 PM
Place: Fresno State University Business Center
A. Peters Auditorium, Rm. 191
Free Admission. Parking restrictions are relaxed in UBC Lot after 7:00PM.
Despite the growing literature on the Armenian Genocide in recent decades, little has been written about the post-Genocide history of the Armenians or their decades-long struggle for justice in the face of Turkish denial of this atrocity. This lecture fills that gap by closely analyzing this period through the use of previously untapped archives and Freedom of Information Requests.
Copies of Bobelian's book, "Children of Armenia:A Forgotten Genocide and the Century-long Struggle for Justice " will be available for sale at the lecture.
