X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html: <p>In this talk\, Dr. Laird will introduce he
 r current work in progress: a study of home in the works of contemporary Ja
 panese women directors. One could say that “home” is the heart of Japanese 
 cinema. There are genres and sub-genres of the home in Japanese film\, part
 icularly of melodrama and\, later\, melodrama’s kissing cousin horror. We m
 ay easily list genres such as <i>haha mono</i>\, <i>tsuma eiga</i>\, <i>hom
 u dorama</i>\, <i>kateigeki</i>\, and <i>shōshimingeki </i>as exemplary sub
 -genres of drama just<i>\, </i>but movies about home\, homecoming\, and the
  family in their home form the very pillars of Japan’s film history. In the
  works of contemporary Japanese female filmmakers\, we see a consistent and
  intentional restructuring of domestic spaces and a return to home as both 
 a physical and emotional manifestation that builds on a legacy of home in J
 apanese cinema. Depictions of home-leaving and home-making feature largely 
 in the early works of this generation almost uniformly expressed through th
 e motif of leaving a perceived traditional home in order to make a new fami
 liarity to call one’s own.</p><p><img class="wp-image-5707 alignleft" src="
