DESCRIPTION:Please join Comics: More Than Words for Time Benders: Fire and 
 Water in Japanese Narrative Art\, a discussion session with Heather Clydes
 dale (Santa Clara University).\n\nAbstract: \n\nA massive fire dominates t
 he thirteenth-century handscroll Night Attack on the Sanjō Palace\, marki
 ng a historical event and an artistic innovation. The inferno consumes the
  palace\, signaling the demise of Japan’s courtly Heian era and rise of 
 a shogunate. It also demarcates and shuffles the order of events depicted 
 in the scroll\, transforming the narrative from documentary to allegory.\n
 \nLater Japanese artworks also use natural elements like fire as a storyte
 lling device. In woodblock prints and manga\, fire and water both amplify 
 the central narrative and reveal prior actions and future effects. They mo
 ld the viewer's experience of time and\, in so doing\, deepen the meaning 
 of the image and resonance of the story.
