Book Synopsis Critical Aesthetics by : James Dorsey
Download or read book Critical Aesthetics written by James Dorsey and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2020-03-17 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This study revolves around the career of Kobayashi Hideo (1902–1983), one of the seminal figures in the history of modern Japanese literary criticism, whose interpretive vision was forged amidst the cultural and ideological crises that dominated intellectual discourse between the 1920s and the 1940s. Kobayashi sought in criticism a vehicle through which to rhetorically restore to the artistic work an aura of concreteness that precluded interpretation and instead inspired awe, to somehow recover a literary experience unmediated by intellectual machinations. In adhering firmly to this worldview for the duration of World War II, Kobayashi came to assume a complex stance toward the wartime regime. Although his interweaving of aesthetics and ideology exhibited elements of both resistance and complicity, his critical ethos served ultimately to undergird his wartime fascist stance by encouraging acquiescence to authority, championing patriotism, and calling for more vigorous thought control. Treating Kobayashi’s influential works and the historical context in which they are rooted, James Dorsey traces the emergence of a modern critical consciousness in conversation with such concerns as the nature of materiality in capitalist culture, the relationship of narrative to subjectivity, and the nostalgia for beauty in a time of war."
Download or read book Okinawan War Memory written by Kyle Ikeda and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-14 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As one of Okinawa's most insightful writers and social critics, Medoruma Shun has highlighted the problems and limits of conventional representation of the Battle of Okinawa, raised new questions and concerns about the nature of Okinawan war memory, and expanded the possibilities of representing war through his groundbreaking and prize-winning fiction, editorials, essays, and speaking engagements. Yet, his writing has not been analyzed in regard to how his experience and identity as the child of two survivors of the Battle of Okinawa have powerfully shaped his understanding of the war and his literary craft. This book examines Okinawan war memory through the lens of Medoruma’s war fiction, and pays particular attention to the issues of second-generation war survivorship and transgenerational trauma. It explores how his texts contribute to knowledge about the war and its ongoing effects — on survivors, their offspring, and the larger community — in different ways from that of other modes of representation, such as survivor testimony, historical narrative, and realistic fiction. These dominant means of memory making have played a major role in shaping the various discourses about the war and the Battle of Okinawa, yet these forms of public memory and knowledge often exclude or avoid more personal, emotional, and traumatic experiences. Indeed, Ikeda’s analysis sheds light on the nature of trauma on survivors and their children who continue to inhabit sites of the traumatic past, and in turn makes an important contribution to studies on trauma and second-generation survivor experiences. This book will be of huge interest to students and scholars of Asian literature, Japanese literature, Japanese history, war memory and Okinawa.

Book Synopsis Irregular Phonological Marking of Japanese Compounds by : Timothy J. Vance
Download or read book Irregular Phonological Marking of Japanese Compounds written by Timothy J. Vance and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-05-09 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Benjamin Smith Lyman (1835–1920) was an American geologist and mining engineer who worked for the Japanese government as a foreign expert in the 1870s. He is famous among linguists for an article about a set of Japanese morphophonemic alternations known as rendaku (sometimes translated as “sequential voicing”). Lyman published this article in 1894, several years after he returned to the United States, and it contains a version of what linguists today call Lyman’s Law. This book includes a brief biography of Lyman and explains how an amateur linguist was able to make such a lasting contribution to the field. It also reproduces Lyman’s 1894 article as well as his earlier article on the pronunciation system of Japanese, each followed by extensive commentary. In addition, it offers an English translation of a thorough critique of Lyman’s 1894 article, published in 1910 by the prominent Japanese linguist Ogura Shinpei. Lyman’s work on rendaku included much more than just Lyman’s Law, and the final chapter of this book assesses all his proposals from the standpoint of a modern researcher.

Book Synopsis A History of Writing in Japan by : Christopher Seeley
Download or read book A History of Writing in Japan written by Christopher Seeley and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-11-20 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals chronologically with the history of writing in Japan, a subject which spans a period of 2,000 years, beginning with the transmission of writing from China in about the first or second century AD, and concluding with the use of written Japanese with computers. Topics dealt with include the adoption of Chinese writing and its subsequent adaptation in Japan, forms of writing employed in works such as the Kojiki and Man'yoshu, development of the kana syllabaries, evolution of mixed character-kana orthography, historical kana usage, the rise of literacy during the Edo period, and the main changes that have taken place in written Japanese in the modern period (ca. 1868 onwards). This is the first full-length work in a European language to provide the Western reader with an overall account of the subject concerned, based on extensive examination of both primary and secondary materials.
Book Synopsis The Aesthetics of Japanese Fascism by : Alan Tansman
Download or read book The Aesthetics of Japanese Fascism written by Alan Tansman and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2009-08-12 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this wide-ranging study of Japanese cultural expression, Alan Tansman reveals how a particular, often seemingly innocent aesthetic sensibility—present in novels, essays, popular songs, film, and political writings—helped create an "aesthetic of fascism" in the years leading up to World War II. Evoking beautiful moments of violence, both real and imagined, these works did not lead to fascism in any instrumental sense. Yet, Tansman suggests, they expressed and inspired spiritual longings quenchable only through acts in the real world. Tansman traces this lineage of aesthetic fascism from its beginnings in the 1920s through its flowering in the 1930s to its afterlife in postwar Japan.
Book Synopsis Japan Does It Better?: From Myth to Reality, Exploring Japan Beyond the Idealization by : Cristian Martini Grimaldi
Download or read book Japan Does It Better?: From Myth to Reality, Exploring Japan Beyond the Idealization written by Cristian Martini Grimaldi and published by Cristian Martini Grimaldi. This book was released on 2024-07-12 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is everything really better in Japan? Cristian Martini Grimaldi, freelance journalist who has been living in Japan for almost a decade, decides to explore if this is really the case. This book is the English version of his Bestseller “In Giappone lo fanno meglio?” (with many extra chapters added) . The idea for this work started from a simple observation. Japan is more idealized than actually experienced. As a young American student disappointed by his life in the Rising Sun once confessed to the author: “For years I have looked at Japan from afar and I thought it was the perfect country. On the internet everything looked great. Only by living there I discovered that reality and what's on YouTube are two very different things". The author will go sneaking into unexplored social and cultural niches to demonstrate how little known - but very misunderstood - this country still is (including living for ten days in a Shinto shrine; he will interview an elderly German professor who teaches the Japanese "how to die"; will participate in the first "moral" class in middle school; will - by pure chance - find himself on the scene of a terrible suicide/murder case; with a crew of professional cleaners he will get inside the home of a kodokushi, someone who died alone and his corpse was only found many days later; he will interview a woman who had experience in the adult industry and will reveal how very young beautiful women get tricked into acting in porn movies; he will also investigate why the mixed Japanese baths are quickly disappearing). Dozens of stories, accompanied by over 100 original photos (many 'stolen' via smartphone), which will forever change the way we look at this unique country.

Book Synopsis Topographies of Japanese Modernism by : Seiji M. Lippit
Download or read book Topographies of Japanese Modernism written by Seiji M. Lippit and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2002-04-01 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when a critique of modernity—a "revolt against the traditions of the Western world"—is situated within a non-European context, where the concept of the modern has been inevitably tied to the image of the West? Seiji M. Lippit offers the first comprehensive study in English of Japanese modernist fiction of the 1920s and 1930s. Through close readings of four leading figures of this movement— Akutagawa, Yokomitsu, Kawabata, and Hayashi—Lippit aims to establish a theoretical and historical framework for the analysis of Japanese modernism. The 1920s and 1930s witnessed a general sense of crisis surrounding the institution of literature, marked by both the radical politicization of literary practice and the explosion of new forms of cultural production represented by mass culture. Against this backdrop, this study traces the heterogeneous literary topographies of modernist writings. Through an engagement with questions of representation, subjectivity, and ideology, it situates the disintegration of literary form in these texts within the writers' exploration of the fluid borderlines of Japanese modernity.
Book Synopsis Southern Exposure by : Michael Molasky
Download or read book Southern Exposure written by Michael Molasky and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2000-08-01 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Southern Exposure is the first anthology of Okinawan literature to appear in English translation, and it appears at a propitious time. Although Okinawa Prefecture comprises only one percent of Japan's population, its writers have been winning a disproportionate number of literary awards in recent years--including the prestigious Akutagawa Prize for fiction, which was awarded to Matayoshi Eiki in 1996 and to Medoruma Shun in 1997. Both Matayoshi and Medoruma are represented in this anthology, which includes a wide range of fiction as well as a sampling of poetry from the 1920s to the present day. Modern Okinawa has been forged by a history of conquest and occupation by mainland Japan and the United States. Its sense of dual subjugation and the propensity of its writers to confront their own complicity with Japanese militarism imbues Okinawa's literary tradition with insightful perspectives on a wide range of issues. But this tradition is as deeply rooted in the region's lush semitropical landscape as in the forces of history. As this anthology demonstrates, Okinawan writers often suffuse their works with a lyricism and humor that disarms readers while bringing them face to face with the region's richly ambiguous legacy.
