According to Ruoff, \u201cPresently in East Asia, there is what might be termed a nasty \u2018memory war\u2019 transpiring between countries such as Korea, China, and Japan over how to interpret the past, especially conflicts between these countries, even as individuals in these countries themselves disagree over how to interpret their country\u2019s modern experience.\u201d \u201cWhen analyzing any historical narrative,\u201d he adds, \u201cit is important to focus not only on what details are present in the narrative, but also on what details are missing, and this is very much the case with the narratives of national history that are presented at heritage sites throughout East Asia.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Location: \u00a0PSU Smith Memorial Student Union 327\/8\/9<br \/>\n1825 SW Broadway<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Presented by the <i><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pdx.edu\/cjs\" target=\"_blank\">PSU Center for Japanese Studies<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Ruoff focuses on the ways that governments and citizenry in the East Asian countries remember their modern histories, particularly the colonial\/imperialistic eras.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":52,"featured_media":500,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14,17,15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-538","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized-ko","category-lecture-ko","category-event-ko"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portlandulsan.org\/ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/538","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portlandulsan.org\/ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portlandulsan.org\/ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portlandulsan.org\/ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/52"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portlandulsan.org\/ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=538"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.portlandulsan.org\/ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/538\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portlandulsan.org\/ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/500"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portlandulsan.org\/ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=538"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portlandulsan.org\/ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=538"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portlandulsan.org\/ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=538"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
