A report from Iaponica Brunensia 2023
On 15-16 September, the Japanese studies conference Iaponica Brunensia took place at FF MU.
On the 20th and 21st of September, an international Japanese studies conference titled Iaponica Brunensia 2019 took place at the Masaryk University Faculty of Arts.
Scholars from Europe nad Japan presented a total of 22 talks during the two days of the conference and they covered a broad scale of topics including literature, linguistics, interntional relations, politics, films, media, culture, religion and others.
The keynote speaker of this year's conference was professor Arthur Stockwin, an emeritus fellow of the University of Oxford, who gave a talk about Japanese foreign politics.
The conference was organized not only with the help of the Department od Japanese Studies staff, but also with the help of volunteering students.
The participants as well as visitors of the conference showed great appreciation for the event and we are looking forwards to the next installment of our conference, hopefully in autumn 2021.
