Scott Tsuchitani Talk

I never really know quite what to say in these lecture write-ups. Scott Tsuchitani has the same first name as me, so that's cool I guess. His work in exposing the fetishization of Japanese culture was really interesting in that it made me feel kind of bad about having an interest in Japanese culture. I watch Japanese anime, I play Japanese video games, I listen to Japanese music, I watch Japanese movies, I am minoring in Japanese studies in a feeble attempt to one day live in Japan for a short period. Tsuchitani's talk made me sort of think twice about why I've taken such a liking to the Japanese. I certainly hope his talk made some other people feel the same as I did.
