Book Synopsis The Coronavirus Pandemic in Japanese Literature and Popular Culture by : Mina Qiao
Download or read book The Coronavirus Pandemic in Japanese Literature and Popular Culture written by Mina Qiao and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-09-01 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is the first book-length collection on Japanese literary and popular cultural responses to the coronavirus pandemic in English. Disrupting the narrative of COVID-19 as a catastrophe without precedent, this book contextualizes the COVID-19 global public health crisis and pandemic-induced social and political turbulence in a post-industrial society that has withstood multiple major destructions and disasters. From published fiction by major authors to anonymous accounts on social media, from network TV shows to contents by Virtual YouTubers (VTubers), in both "high" and "low" culturescapes, timely representations of coronavirus and individual and social livings under its impact emerge. These narratives, either personal or top-down, all endeavor to fathom this unexpected disruption of modern linear progress. Exploring the paradoxes underlying the "new normal" of Japanese society of the present day, the book collectively demonstrates how the narratives of coronavirus are not "neo-" but "re-": returning to the past, revealing existing problems and reclaiming memories lost and lessons forgotten. This edited volume will be of interest to researchers and students in the fields of Japanese culture and society, Japanese literature, and pandemic studies.

How do learners react to being taught literature online? Will new genres emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic? Is the literary canon changing? This volume celebrates the vitality of literary and pedagogic responses to the pandemic and presents research into the phenomena observed in this evolving field. One strand of the book discusses literary outputs stimulated by the pandemic as well as past pandemics. Another strand looks at the pedagogy of engaging learners with literature online, examining learners of different ages and of different proficiency levels and different educational backgrounds, including teacher education. Finally, a third strand looks at the affordances of various technologies for teaching online and the way they interact with literature and with language learning. The contributions in this volume take literature teaching online away from static lecturing strategies, present numerous options for online teaching, and provide research-based grounding for the implementation of these pedagogies.

Similar to many academic journals, the Journal of Medical Humanities, in which these contributions were first published, has received a number of submissions during the first year of the pandemic relating directly to it. In the early months, the journal saw an unprecedented number of poetry submissions from physicians who seemed to be turning to verse as a way to memorialize what was happening, to find ways of healing from the devastating number of dying patients, and to capture the exhaustion and anxiety of caring for others day after day without respite. By publishing this selection, the volume editors honor and thank all those who have been caring for patients, teaching and mentoring students, and as such have been contributing to our understanding and awareness of this crisis.

This book was released on 2020-08-13 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, many new techniques for remaining healthy have been introduced, but there is little public discussion about how to live well.

In this book, the philosopher Dustin Peone offers reflections on ten literary classics set during plague times. From each work, he draws one central insight that is applicable to our situation today. These insights are lessons in prudence, taught by the sages of the past. This is a book about how to pursue the good life during a pandemic and what it means to flourish in dark times.

This book was released on 2022-09-23 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

International scholars offer a comprehensive treatment of today's major societal issues and provide a unique, broadly comparative view on public policy responses in the MENA region.

Tackling the psychology, sociology, education, law, and public policy issues related to the social and economic implications of the COVID 19 pandemic, this book will be of interest to scholars and students alike.

Book excerpt: As is commonly understood, a pandemic is an epidemic of an infectious disease that has spread across a large region, for instance, multiple continents or worldwide, affecting a substantial number of people. Throughout human history, there have been a number of pandemics of diseases such as plague, smallpox, and tuberculosis. The most fatal pandemic in recorded history was the Black Death, which killed an estimated 75 200 million people in the 14th century. The term 'Pandemic' was not used yet but was used for later pandemics including the 1918 influenza pandemic. Current pandemics include Coronavirus disease COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) and HIV/AIDS. The Covid-19 pandemic is an unprecedented event in human history. Never before has human existence been so consumed by a single disease, bringing life to a halt for months on end and forcing human beings to question their future and ponder deeply over their own mortality. Pandemics have been the theme of many literary works, penned by different celebrated authors. This book brings to fore the various pandemics as the theme/plot of popular books.This book would be of immense interest to faculty, students and research scholars of English Literature and even to a general reader interested in the subject of 'Pandemic Literature'.
Book Synopsis Masculinity in Crisis. An Analysis of Contemporary Pandemic Novels by : Ilayda Can
Download or read book Masculinity in Crisis. An Analysis of Contemporary Pandemic Novels written by Ilayda Can and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2023-08-31 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2022 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1,6, University of Flensburg, course: American Literature, language: English, abstract: The objective of this thesis is to examine the portrayal of masculinity in contemporary pandemic novels. Specifically, it aims to highlight the positive aspects of male characters and counteract their general neglect. It will also explore how men's private and public performances during a pandemic impact society. The thesis begins with an introduction outlining the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and society's response to it, highlighting the role of pandemic fiction as an analogy and familiar routine in times of crisis. It then argues for the necessity of examining the representation of masculinity in pandemic fiction, as existing research predominantly addresses feminist theories, with the analysis of men being either secondary or nonexistent. It also emphasizes the need to consider both negative and positive aspects of masculinity. The thesis then discusses the definition of 'masculinity' and highlights the necessity of rereading literature from a male perspective. It investigates the portrayal of masculinity in the novels 'Station Eleven' by Emily St. John Mandel, 'Severance' by Ling Ma, and 'The End of Men' by Christina Sweeney-Baird, focusing particularly on the impacts of men's private and public performances during the pandemic. Finally, it stresses the necessity of a complete examination of gender dynamics to broaden the definition of masculinity and challenge patriarchal norms.
