DESCRIPTION:How do global connections persist when borders harden\, through
  war\, empire\, and coercive social orders? This panel explores being glob
 al after globalization by examining three kinds of circulation that thrive
  under constraint: information\, gendered labor\, and cultural narrative. 
 Emma Allen analyzes Operation Mincemeat (1943) to show how wartime intelli
 gence moved through indirect channels - neutral Spain\, bureaucratic docum
 ents\, and carefully staged credibility - demonstrating the strategic powe
 r and moral ambiguity of misinformation. Sarah Bryant Genung argues that p
 atriarchy is a historically constructed system sustained through coercion 
 and control of women’s labor\, comparing the formalization of gender hie
 rarchy during Romanization in Western Europe with the World War II Japanes
 e comfort women system as state-organized exploitation. Daniel Mayfield tr
 aces the Japanese biwa as a portable medium of storytelling and memory\, c
 harting its post–World War II decline and its modern revival through ada
 ptation and cross-genre exchange. Dylan Deman's paper on Japanese survivor
  testimony grounds the panel in the lived experience of wartime devastatio
 n and its difficult survival\, showing how ordinary Japanese people narrat
 ed the experience of destruction and loss. Together\, these papers reveal 
 a shared dynamic: when borders close\, networks do not disappear\; they re
 route through shadow systems\, coerced dependencies\, and resilient cultur
 al forms that sustain connection across time and space.
