DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jordan Sand\, Professor of Japanese History\, Georgeto
 wn University\n\nAbstract: The Ise shrines stand at the ritual center of Ja
 panese imperial ideology. At the same time\, they are admired around the wo
 rld for their architecture and for the unique practice of periodic reconstr
 uction. Yet the historical relationship between their ideological role and 
 their architecture is seldom considered. By tracing the evolution of meanin
 gs attributed to the buildings and their reconstruction over a millennium\,
  this lecture will reveal the many ways the shrine sites have been mobilize
 d and show the gradual emergence of modern conceptions of architectural val
 ue.\n\nAbout East Asia Program\n\nAs Cornell’s hub for research\, teaching\
 , and engagement with East Asia\, the East Asia Program (EAP) serves as a f
 orum for the interdisciplinary study of historical and contemporary East As
 ia. The program draws its membership of over 45 core faculty and numerous a
 ffiliated faculty\, graduate\, and undergraduate students from eight of Cor
