2022 Fall Festival - Day One
After two long years of COVID-19 restrictions, we were finally able to hold our neighborhood fall festival this year. The program was cut back a bit - no night festival or mochi maki and an abbreviated course. Rain hampered things on the second day no we couldn't have our usual yaki niku barbeque. But still, it was great to see my friends after so long and push-pull the danjiri throughout the neighborhood. My activities were cut back as well due to injury. I went back to being the event photographer rather than a danjiri pusher. But we were lucky to have a group of student volunteers from a nearby college - we really couldn't have done it without them. So, here are the Day One Photo Offerings...

Announcement and Preview: “What the Future of Anthropological Research Should Look/Sound/Feel Like: A Visual Ethnography of a Standing Drink Bar in Japan”
SouthWest Conference on Asian Studies
University of Central Arkansas, USA
Session 7.1 (Virtual)
October 8, 2022
9:30-10:45 AM (Central Daylight Time)
11:30 PM-12:45 AM (Japan Standard Time)
Abstract: Boyer et al. (2016) ask “What should the anthropological research article of the future look and sound and feel like (emphasis mine)?” This research project is a visual ethnography of a forty-year-old tachinomiya (standing drink bar) in Osaka called Tenbun. Tenbun features many kinds of food and drink, a lively and relaxed atmosphere and plenty of colorful characters. The study is based upon long-term patronage, focused participant-observation and photography, a photo exhibition and other post-fieldwork encounters. My current analysis re-positions the research in wider social and academic contexts including multimodality, sensory ethnography, food anthropology and media studies. My work is informed by, first, Collins et al. who reflect on the “changes in the media ecologies” (2017), and, second, Pink’s multisensoriality (2009). I explore how to use new technologies, engagements and collaborations in methodology and dissemination of findings to create a new sensory narrative about the standing drink bar, Tenbun.
