Book Synopsis Famous Romanians in Japan by : Radu Șerban
Download or read book Famous Romanians in Japan written by Radu Șerban and published by ePublishers & Editura Coresi. This book was released on with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the centenary of the Romanian-Japanese diplomacy, I remember the years spent in Japan, 2012–2016 with the end of my diplomatic career achievements and a shadow of amnesia as far as a part of the bilateral relations history before the Second World War is concerned. The inertness of the last three decades kept quiet names and events worthy of a novel, which I try to bring back to light, through this book, after searches of almost four years. I give to the reader some of the unjustly forgotten pages, confining myself to the remarkable Romanian presences in Japan at that time. From Anatolie Tihai to Gheorghe Băgulescu, with the Xenopol interlude, a plethora of Romanian personalities experienced living in the archipelago, longer or shorter periods, recounting their missions and adventures, or delegating others to share them, as was the case of Prince Carol. Rich in events, the interval of bilateral history 1872–1943 is still waiting to develop under the layers of palimpsest. I hope that this volume will reproduce a fragment of the brilliance of this period and, especially, increase the interest of students and researchers for a topic that will become, in the coming years, useful for the Romanian-Japanese strategic dialogue, not only in the area of history and literature. In the latest bilateral anthologies, the names of some great Romanians from that period have been intently minimized. Each of them could be a novel hero through his biography, through his relating to the Japanese culture and civilization and, especially, through contributing to the popularity of Romania in the archipelago. During my documentation, I identified interwoven threads of the 14 heroes’ destinies, more or less known, some obvious, others just suspected. Xenopol and Timuș, for example, followed the same route from Iași to Tokyo, at the same time, but with different goals and different comfort, and they did not know each other. Bufnea, along with Găvănescul in various photographs, was charged by Cădere to repatriate the remains of the former ambassador, Xenopol. Prince Carol granted audience to Cădere to get a report on the repatriation of Romanian volunteers; Cornel Cozmuță appears among the Romanian volunteers repatriated through Japan, and his ex-wife, Otilia de Cozmuță, after documenting in Japan, introduced Brâncuși to Rodin. Why Brâncuși? To the pilgrim heroes through the archipelago a virtual presence is added, Constantin Brâncuși, imposed by the notoriety of his work in the Japanese artistic space like no other Romanian artist’s, even if he, personally, had never visited Japan. His disciple, Isamu Noguchi, managed to increase his notoriety, spreading sculptural reverberations in the artistic space of his country. I let myself be carried away in a parallel world. Gradually, as I wrote, I became Tihai, Assan, Ghika, etc. I got into character and, reconstituting the places visited, I tried to turn back the clock. The photographs of the era helped me, as well as the writings of those Romanians fascinated by the exoticism of Japan. In addition to the 14 personalities evoked in this volume, other Romanians who visited Japan before the Second World War can be named, including the plethora of diplomats, but I avoid detailed references to them, so as not to be suspected of using the archives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. However, it is worth mentioning two of the first occasional visitors to Japan at the end of the 19th century, Nicolae Russel and Iuliu Popper. It’s just that Russel was not a real Romanian, but a Russian, born Nikolai Konstantinovich Sudzilovsky, and Popper lost his Romanian citizenship. Nonetheless, their incidental visits did not leave written records or photographs, but they remind us that their names appear in some studies, as the first Romanians to visit Japan. I hope I’m not mistaken if I place this book under the sign of the “ronin,” a word that in Japanese means “vagabond,” and in our country it has been translated as “wandering samurai” as well. Directly, Pope Pius XI had called Vladimir Ghika an “apostolic vagabond” because of his frequent trips abroad. All the Romanians in this book are vagabonds, in a positive sense, in one way or another. I would call them “ronins” for their courage and for their association with the Japanese audacity. Just as the ronins were fortuitously separated from their masters, some of these Romanians parted from their country, more or less fortuitously, and in addition to the courage of the ronins, they carry in them the symbol of a lasting harmony: Romania-Nippon, abbreviated RO-NI.

Book Synopsis Unwrapping Transcultural Romantic Love Relationships by : Claude-Hélène Mayer
Download or read book Unwrapping Transcultural Romantic Love Relationships written by Claude-Hélène Mayer and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-06-01 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research study explores the interlinkages of three major themes, namely transcultural romantic love relationships (TRLRs), sense of coherence (SOC), and identity development (ID) in individuals who are presently involved in romantic love relationships (RLR) with partners from different cultural or ethnic backgrounds. The study uses a qualitative research design within the hermeneutical interpretative research paradigm, aiming to understand the interlinkages of TRLR, SOC, and ID. Based on purposive and snowball sampling techniques, the study includes 22 participants (12 female and 10 male) between 23 and 68 years of age, from 14 different (self-defined) cultural backgrounds. At the time of the interview, participants had been in TRLRs for at least 6 months to a maximum of 26 years. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analysed through content analysis. Qualitative quality criteria and ethical considerations were applied. The findings show that TRLRs are firmly based on relationship qualities, strong feelings, common actions, spirituality, and future orientation. Further, the findings present clear interlinkages between TRLR and SOC, contributing positively to meaningfulness, manageability, and comprehensibility. Finally, TRLRs support SOC on intrapersonal, cultural, and interpersonal levels. In addition, they influence the development of identity awareness, actions, feelings, and sexual SOC. Conclusions, limitations, and recommendations for theory and practice are provided.
Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of the Word by : John R. Taylor
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of the Word written by John R. Taylor and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 960 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook addresses words in all their multifarious aspects and brings together scholars from every relevant discipline to do so. The many subjects covered include word frequencies; sounds and sound symbolism; the structure of words; taboo words; lexical borrowing; words in dictionaries and thesauri; word origins and change; place and personal names; nicknames; taxonomies; word acquisition and bilingualism; words in the mind; word disorders; and word games, puns, and puzzles. Words are the most basic of all linguistic units, the aspect of language of which everyone is likely to be most conscious. A 'new' word that makes it into the OED is prime news; when baby says its first word its parents reckon it has started to speak; knowing a language is often taken to mean knowing its words; and languages are seen to be related by the similarities between their words. Up to the twentieth century linguistic description was mainly an account of words and all the current subdivisions of linguistics have something to say about them. A notable feature of human languages is the sheer vastness of their word inventories, and scholars and writers have sometimes deliberately increased the richness of their languages by coining or importing new items into their word-hoards. The book presents scholarship and research in a manner that meets the interests of students and professionals and satisfies the curiosity of the educated reader.
Book Synopsis Intercultural Language Use and Language Learning by : Eva Alcon Soler
Download or read book Intercultural Language Use and Language Learning written by Eva Alcon Soler and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-05-24 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eva Alcón Soler Maria Pilar Safont Jordà Universitat Jaume I, Spain The main purpose of the present book is to broaden the scope of research on the development of intercultural communicative competence. Bearing this purpose in mind, English learners are considered as intercultural speakers who share their interest for engaging in real life communication. According to Byram and Fleming (1998), the intercultural speaker is someone with knowledge of one or more cultures and social identities, and who enjoys discovering and maintaining relationships with people from other cultural backgrounds, although s/he has not been formally trained for that purpose. Besides, possessing knowledge of at least two cultures is the case of many learners in bilingual or multilingual communities. In these contexts, the objective of language learning should then focus on developing intercultural competence, which in turn may involve promoting language diversity while encouraging English as both a means and an end of instruction (see Alcón, this volume). This is the idea underlying the volume, which further sustains Kramsch’s argument (1998) against the native/ non-native dichotomy. Following that author, we also believe that in a multilingual world where learners may belong to more than one speech community, their main goal is not to become a native speaker of English, but to use this language as a tool for interaction among many other languages and cultures.

Book Synopsis Venturing Upon Dizzy Heights by : Bruce Ross
Download or read book Venturing Upon Dizzy Heights written by Bruce Ross and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2008 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book assembles lectures and essays on literature (William Wordsworth, Walter Benjamin, Chinese mountain poetry, Friedrich Nietzsche, the Tao Te Ching), art (Paleolithic cave art, Vincent Van Gogh, American landscape painting), and Japanese poetry forms (haiku, haibun, tanka) that were originally presented and published between 2000 and 2007. The essays identify strategies to counter the so-called postmodern condition. Matters of will, ethics, and consciousness are examined in comparative contexts with the aim of formulizing models of enlightened states of being and their aesthetic expressions. This study focuses on Wordsworth's rainbow epiphany; Walter Benjamin's «aura» and «monad»; Chinese mountain poetry's cosmic emptiness; Nietzsche's Hyperborean; Paleolithic cave art's transpersonal expression; Van Gogh's «dizzy heights» of natural beauty; American landscape painters' depiction of the sublime; haiku's absolute metaphor epiphany; and tanka's connection between natural beauty and erotic feeling. The collection is a re-examination of Ralph Waldo Emerson's «fundamental unity» between humanity and nature, as well as an examination of often-unmediated affective experience and its expression in this context through literature and art.
