DESCRIPTION:This presentation explores the relationship between political a
 nd  psychic genealogies of reparation.  Reparation is a key term in  polit
 ical theory\, but it is also a central concept in psychoanalysis  (specifi
 cally object relations theory)\, yet the two are rarely discussed  in rela
 tion to one another.  In this talk\, David L. Eng will explore how politic
 al  and psychic genealogies of reparation might supplement one another in 
  theories of the human and discourses of human rights\, while helping us  
 to understand better the social and psychic limits of repairing war\,  vio
 lence\, colonialism\, and genocide.  Specifically\, Eng will trace a  glob
 al genealogy of reparations from John Locke to Melanie Klein to  twentieth
 -century Asia in order to rethink the concept&rsquo\;s transnational  sign
 ificance and the possibility of &ldquo\;racial reparation&rdquo\; in conte
 xt of  the trans-Pacific: the internment of Japanese Americans by the U.S.
   government during World War II\; the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and  N
 agasaki ending that war\; and contemporary legal claims by &ldquo\;comfort
   women\,&rdquo\; young girls and women from Japan&rsquo\;s colonial empir
 e conscripted  by the imperial army into sexual slavery.\n\nFor more infor
