Join us for an evening of fresh insight and cinematic exploration with Professor Daisuke Miyao as we celebrate the publication of his newest book, Ozu and the Ethics of Indeterminacy. A leading scholar of Japanese cinema and Chair of the Department of Literature at UC San Diego, Professor Miyao invites audiences to reconsider how films create meaning.
Drawing on carefully curated clips from the work of Yasujirō Ozu, his talk examines how cinema can resist singular interpretation, opening instead onto multiple perspectives and modes of experience. Through the concept of an "ethics of indeterminacy," Miyao offers a nuanced and timely framework for engaging with cinema in all its complexity. The presentation will be followed by a moderated Q&A, offering an opportunity for deeper conversation and engagement.
