the global movement to preserve the ecological
value of the DMZ and the local
anxiety to remedy national trauma by
eventually abolishing it. She will also explore
how global and local performers deploy
and reconfigure their activist strategies
in claiming this unique geopolitical
biosphere.
Dr. Michael Berry will present his analysis
of the Nanjing Massacre of 1937 by exploring
