Join Professor Yasmin Haskell and Doctoral Candidate Makoto Harris Takao from the ARC Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions - campus partner of the exhibition Memento Mori - as they discuss a series of literary, dramatic, artistic and musical works produced in the 17th and 18th centuries by members of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits), to teach boys how to live and die well - sometimes painfully.
This presentation will be accompanied by selections from Strong Women, a video of a musical play by the Viennese Jesuit equivalent of Rogers and Hammerstein, Staudt and Adolf.
The play commemorates the supposed Christian martyrdom of a 16th century Japanese noblewoman. Refreshments will be provided.
FREE. RSVP essential.
