Kain no matsuei von Arishima Takeo: Eine intertextuelle Analyse im Kontext des Taishō-zeitlichen Vitalismus
Creators: name: Seidel-Hirose, Maria Natalia
Publisher: name: Bunron – Zeitschrift für literaturwissenschaftliche Japanforschung
Year: 2022

description: Die Interpretation des Romans Kain no matsuei カインの末裔 („Ein Nachkomme Kains“, 1917), der als eines der Hauptwerke von Arishima Takeo 有島武郎 (1878-1923) gilt, ist umstritten. Die dominante Interpretation betrachtet das Werk als eine Tragödie, in der die Niederlage des Protagonisten gegen die Gesellschaft dargestellt wird. Diese Deutung liegt z.B auch der jüngsten Verfilmung Kain no matsuei des Regisseurs Oku Shūtarō 奥秀太郎 (1975-) von 2006 zugrunde. Oku wollte nach eigener Aussage eine „düstere Erzählung, die weder Liebe, Traum noch Hoffnung kennt“ verfilmen, mit einem „Helden, der keine Sympathie erweckt“. Die dominante Auslegung des Textes als bloße naturalistische Studie oder pessimistisches Moralstück ignoriert jedoch sowohl wesentliche Elemente der Erzählung selbst (wie z.B. Titel und Epigraph des Werkes) als auch ihr textliches Umfeld. Die vorliegende Untersuchung bietet durch eine intertextuelle Lesart der Erzählung eine neue, plausiblere Interpretation, die ihren geistesgeschichtlichen Hintergrund im sogenannten „Vitalismus“ der Taishō-Zeit, dem auch Arishima anhing, verortet. Dieser schlägt sich insbesondere in der kraftstrotzenden, vitalen und instinktgetriebenen Darstellung der zentralen Figur Nin’emons nieder. Mittels einer intertextuell-geistesgeschichtlichen Betrachtung der Erzählung zeigt diese Untersuchung daher, dass, entgegen der gängigen Interpretation, der Roman Kain no matsuei durchaus als aggressiv lebensbejahende Erzählung gelesen werden kann und so auch von Arishima selbst konzipiert war. Diese Neuinterpretation und die gewonnenen geistesgeschichtlichen Erkenntnisse werfen wiederum ein neues Licht auf Arishimas Gesamtwerk und Leben selbst, deren Einfluss über den Bereich der Literatur hinausgeht.

Ein Text für jedes Feld? – Die manipulierte Übersetzung von Mizumura Minaes Shishōsetsu from left to right ins Englische
Creators: name: Schelletter, Christopher
Publisher: name: Bunron – Zeitschrift für literaturwissenschaftliche Japanforschung
Year: 2022

description: In her novel Shishōsetsu from left to right, Mizumura Minae writes about the experiences of growing up as a Japanese immigrant in the United States. The form of the bilingual narrative is innovative, but as far as the content is concerned, a simple scheme can be recog­nized, according to which the United States is largely represented negatively. Japan on the other hand appears in a positive light. In the English translation, however, pas­sages that can be interpreted as chauvinistic have been diminished or deleted. From the standpoint of translation ethics, the present translation is controversial not only because the agenda of the book has been changed, but also because the translation adapts the original to the expectations of the American public. By juxtaposing the English translation with the original and my own German translation, the lack of equivalence between the Japanese original and the English translation will become apparent. Finally, the modus operandi of translation shall be critically discussed.

Diskurs zur Klärung des Weges

description: In his first extensive doctrinal exposition, the “Discourse on Negotiating the Way” (Bendōwa), Dōgen (1200–1253) explained the virtues of seated meditation in light of his idea of the unity of practice and realization and defended it against possible objections. The text was written while he was living in relative obscurity on the grounds of a dilapidated monastery south of the capital Kyōto. It not only contains seminal elements of his later teachings, but also reveals how Dōgen sought to position himself within the Buddhist tradition. His claim to represent the single true understanding of the Buddha Way stands in a marked contrast both to his actual position at the time and the later identification of Dōgen as the founder of the Japanese Sōtō Line of Zen Buddhism. The text is presented with extensive annotation and comparing the final version with an earlier draft preserved at Shōbō-ji.

Key considerations: Ebola preparedness and readiness in Goma, DRC
Creators: name: Peyton, David

Publisher: name: F1000 Research Limited
Year: 2020

description: This brief summarises key considerations about the social, political and economic context of Goma in relation to the outbreak of Ebola in the DRC as of March 2019. Goma is the administrative capital of North Kivu province and a major urban centre in the Great Lakes Region. The city is home to an estimated 1.5 million people and serves as an important economic and transportation hub that links eastern Congo to the broader East African sub-region. The arrival of Ebola in Goma would substantially increase the at-risk population and heighten the potential for cross-border transmission to neighbouring countries, particularly Rwanda. This brief therefore focuses on local social and political structures that can be leveraged to promote preparedness and readiness actions.

Morphostasis in a novel eukaryote illuminates the evolutionary transition from phagotrophy to phototrophy: description of Rapaza viridis n. gen. et sp. (Euglenozoa, Euglenida)
Creators: name: Yamaguchi, Aika

Publisher: name: BioMed Central
Year: 2016

description: Background: Morphostasis of traits in different species is necessary for reconstructing the evolutionary history of complex characters. Studies that place these species into a molecular phylogenetic context test hypotheses about the transitional stages that link divergent character states. For instance, the transition from a phagotrophic mode of nutrition to a phototrophic lifestyle has occurred several times independently across the tree of eukaryotes; one of these events took place within the Euglenida, a large group of flagellates with diverse modes of nutrition. Phototrophic euglenids form a clade that is nested within lineages of phagotrophic euglenids and that originated through a secondary endosymbiosis with green algae. Although it is clear that phototrophic euglenids evolved from phagotrophic ancestors, the morphological disparity between species representing these different nutritional modes remains substantial. Results: We cultivated a novel marine euglenid, Rapaza viridis n. gen. et sp. ("green grasper"), and a green alga, Tetraselmis sp., from the same environment. Cells of R. viridis were comprehensively characterized with light microscopy, SEM, TEM, and molecular phylogenetic analysis of small subunit rDNA sequences. Ultrastructural and behavioral observations demonstrated that this isolate habitually consumes a specific strain of Tetraselmis prey cells and possesses a functional chloroplast that is homologous with other phototrophic euglenids. A novel feeding apparatus consisting of a reduced rod of microtubules facilitated this first and only example of mixotrophy among euglenids. R. viridis also possessed a robust photoreception apparatus, two flagella of unequal length, euglenoid movement, and a pellicle consisting of 16 strips and one (square-shaped) whorl of posterior strip reduction. The molecular phylogenetic data demonstrated that R. viridis branches as the nearest sister lineage to phototrophic euglenids. Conclusions: The unusual combination of features in R. viridis combined with its molecular phylogenetic position completely conforms to the expected transitional stage that occurred during the early evolution of phototrophic euglenids from phagotrophic ancestors. The marine mixotrophic mode of nutrition, the preference for green algal prey cells, the structure of the feeding apparatus, and the organization of the pellicle are outstanding examples of morphostasis that clarify pivotal stages in the evolutionary history of this diverse group of microbial eukaryotes.

description: Sex and gender differences influence the health and wellbeing of men and women. Although studies have drawn attention to observed differences between women and men across diseases, remarkably little research has been pursued to systematically investigate these underlying sex differences. Women continue to be underrepresented in clinical trials, and even in studies in which both men and women participate, systematic analysis of data to identify potential sex-based differences is lacking. Standards for reporting of clinical trials have been established to ensure provision of complete, transparent and critical information. An important step in addressing the gender imbalance would be inclusion of a gender perspective in the next Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) guideline revision. Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals, as a set of well-recognized and widely used guidelines for authors and biomedical journals, should similarly emphasize the ethical obligation of authors to present data analyzed by gender as a matter of routine. Journal editors are also promoters of ethical research and adequate standards of reporting, and requirements for inclusion of gender analyses should be integrated into editorial policies as a matter of urgency.
Art of Digression: The Écritures of Abe Kazushige’s Amerika no yoru
Creators: name: Römer, Maria
Publisher: name: Bunron – Studies in Japanese Literature
Year: 2020

description: This article analyzes the art of digression in Abe Kazushige’s 1994 debut novel Amerika no yoru arguing that it is an expression of écriture, meaning borderless writing that pushes the boundaries of form. International research has tended to limit the impact of Abe Kazushige’s 1990s fiction to his 1997 bestseller Individual Projection, which was heavily featured in the 1998 J-Bungaku marketing campaign. In contrast, this article spotlights novels and short stories that appeared before the presumed beginning of J-Bungaku. Abe’s earliest pieces are characterized by a complication of linear storytelling, which had a more lasting effect on defining the author’s originality in Heisei literature than later texts. It is precisely his early writing that made Abe one of Japanese contemporary literature’s distinctive writers, and had a profound effect on power relationships within the 1990s literary scene. The analysis shows that before Abe had adapted to a more accessible style in Individual Projection, his works consciously performed a radically non-mimetic, non-linear mode of writing, barely recognizable as literature. In order to assess Abe’s true role in the formation of Heisei literature, it may be deemed indispensable to look at his earliest fiction and their formal distinction.

A Shaking Voice can Shake it All: Representing Trauma as a Political Act
Creators: name: Serrano-Muñoz, Jordi
Publisher: name: Bunron – Zeitschrift für literaturwissenschaftliche Japanforschung
Year: 2020

description: I focus in this paper on the way fiction produced after the 3.11 disasters has engaged with the daunting task of giving meaning to suffering and outliving a traumatic event. I argue that the present practice is based on an overarching literary convention that combines three main tropes. First, how questions over the responsibility in representing trauma appear reflected in the way characters relate to the traumatic event. Second, the articulation of elements of corruption of the body or mind as unavoidable reminders of the trauma. And third, the construction of victims and survivors as invisibilized and ostracized individuals. I show how post-3.11 literary production both follows and enhances a convention set to blame instituted socio-cultural dynamics for perpetuating the violence of the traumatic episode by failing to address survivors as a social responsibility. This piece will explore these themes in Yū Miri’s Tokyo Ueno Station, Furukawa Hideo’s Horses, Horses, in the End the Light Remains Pure, and Tawada Yōko’s The Emissary. My ultimate goal is to explore how literary representations of trauma in 3.11 literature challenge hegemonic propositions that shape the cultural memory of the event.

Washū - japanische Besonderheiten in der klassisch-chinesischen Dichtung. Ursprung und Rezeption eines Schlüsselbegriffs
Creators: name: Fink, Victor
Publisher: name: Bunron – Zeitschrift für literaturwissenschaftliche Japanforschung
Year: 2020

description: Washū 和習 is a term used in modern Japanese literary studies designating a deviation from the norms of Classical Chinese prose (kanbun) or poetry (kanshi) in vocabulary, grammar or motive resulting from the influence of Japanese language or culture. It was Ogyū Sorai who coined the term in his Bunkai, an appendix to Ken’en zuihitsu, a polemic attack on shortcomings of language in Itō Jinsai’s work. Out of this context Yamamoto Hokuzan adopted the expression to his critique of Sorai and the Ken’en school in his Sakushi shikō. As a technical term in Japanese literary studies characterizing deficient kanshi (as well as kanbun) texts the word initially retained its derogative meaning prefigured in its discursive history. More recent studies presented a re-interpretation of the term. Kojima Noriyuki and Ōtani Masao employ washū to not only mean deviations from a preconceived ideal of Classical Chinese resulting from the influence of the vernacular. The concept is opened up to focus on motivic influences of Japanese culture and on diverging interests of lyrical traditions.

A novel approach for finding ring species: look for barriers rather than rings

description: Ring species, in which two different forms coexist in one region while being connected by a long chain of interbreeding populations encircling a geographic barrier, provide clear demonstrations of the evolution of one species into two. Known ring species are rare, but now Monahan et al. propose an intriguing new approach to discovering them: focus first on geography to find potential barriers.

Measurements of µµ pairs from cc¯, b¯b and Drell-Yan in p+p and p+Au collisions at √sNN = 200 GeV with PHENIX at RHIC
Creators: name: Leung, Yue Hang
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: Dilepton spectra are a classic probe to study ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions. At √sNN = 200 GeV, the dimuon continuum is dominated by correlated pairs from semi-leptonic decays of charm and bottom hadrons and the Drell-Yan process. Measuring the azimuthal correlations of heavy flavor decay lepton pairs can help constrain the relative contributions from different heavy flavor production mechanisms in p+p collisions, and may provide further insight on cold nuclear matter effects in p+A collisions. Measuring the Drell-Yan cross-section in p+A collisions can provide constraints to nuclear parton distribution functions, and further our understanding in initial state effects. In this dissertation, measurements of muon pairs from charm, bottom, and Drell-Yan, using data collected by the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and the Pioneering High Energy Nuclear Interaction eXperiment (PHENIX), in p+p and p+Au collisions at √sNN = 200 GeV are presented.
Changing Tidal Dynamics and the Role of the Marine Environment in the Maritime Migration to Sahul

description: The marine environment plays a central role in the migration of Homo sapiens to Sahul c. 65,000 years ago. Despite the lower mean sea level at this time, humans must have made a maritime crossing from Sunda to Sahul. While tidal dynamics greatly affect the coastal environment, models of changing paleotidal conditions are frequently missing from reconstructions of coastal landscapes and maritime conditions in the deep past. At present, northern Australia is known for its high tidal range and strong current velocity, but tidal dynamics are sensitive to coastal geometry and water depths that were very different in the past. This paper presents a barotropic hydrodynamic model of the Australian coast to explore how past tidal dynamics would have caused variations in coastal environments north of Australia, and how tidal currents could have affected seafaring. The results indicate profound but complex changes in tidal dynamics along the northern Australian coast throughout the Upper Pleistocene, linked to mean sea level fluctuations, which inform the debate about the peopling of Sahul. This special issue is guest-edited by William Davies (Centre for the Archaeology of Human Origins, University of Southampton) and Philip R. Nigst (Department of Prehistoric and Historical Archaeology, University of Vienna).

Fünf Thesen zur Literatur der Heisei-Zeit
Creators: name: Tan, Daniela
Publisher: name: Bunron – Zeitschrift für literaturwissenschaftliche Japanforschung
Year: 2020

description: Dreißig Jahre Heisei-Zeit (1989–2019) sind Anlass für den Versuch, Kriterien und Merkmale für eine Heisei bungaku 平成文学 zu formulieren. Gibt es thematische und literarische Eigenheiten der Literatur dieser Zeit, und wenn ja, welche? Anhand von fünf Thesen soll dieser Frage nachgegangen werden. Eine deutliche Zunahme der Schriftstellerinnen seit dem Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts verweist auf eine erstarkte Präsenz von Frauen in der japanischen Gegenwartsliteratur. Weiter prägt die Digitalisierung die Textgestaltung und Literaturproduktion. Neue Medien und Kommunikationsformen führen zudem zu einer Dezentralisierung. Die dritte These besagt, dass Stilmittel des Horrors verbreitet Eingang gefunden haben in die Literatur der Heisei-Zeit. Zum einen wird damit ein Unbehagen angesichts nuklearer Bedrohungsszenarien zum Ausdruck gebracht, zum anderen finden phantastische Elemente und Okkultes in der Mystery-Literatur breiten Eingang in die Massenkultur. Eine weitere These ist, dass die instabilen ökonomischen Verhältnisse nach den verlorenen Dekaden neoproletarische Literatur der neuen Working poor hervorgebracht hat. Die fünfte These schließlich ist eine zeitliche: In einer von Simultaneität geprägten Kommunikationswelt durchdringt die Nostalgie das Erleben in der Gegenwart. Schlussfolgernd werden diese Thesen um das verbindende Element der Grenzüberschreitung (ekkyōsei 越境性) ergänzt, das auf allen Ebenen immer wieder durchscheint.

The unread critic. Higuchi Ichiyō’s diaries as bungei hyōron
Creators: name: Follaco, Gala Maria
Publisher: name: Bunron – Studies in Japanese Literature
Year: 2020

description: The diaries of Higuchi Ichiyō (1872–1896) are usually seen as examples of autobiographic writing, whereas her critical attitude is seldom considered. I argue that some parts of her nikki can be seen as criticism even if they do not resemble canonical forms of this kind of writing. As early as 1893, for instance, Ichiyō commented on shintai questioning the presumed ‘modernity’ of the most recent stylistic trends, and close reading of her notes reveals her deep knowledge of Japan's literature. These sections signal her literary consciousness at a very specific time: the years between 1893 and 1894, when, according to the dominant scholarship, her narrative production was still heavily dependent on previous models, thus not yet mature, a reading that my contribution will try to challenge. Further, her relationship with the contemporary bundan, as well as her acquaintance with Kagawa Kageki's thought will be considered, in order to assess her critical attitude against the backdrop of both her time and her literary education.

description: Background: Social capital refers to the resources linked to having a strong social network. This concept plays into health outcomes among People Living with HIV/AIDS because, globally, this is a highly marginalized population. Case studies show that modifying social capital can lead to improvements in HIV transmission and management; however, there remains a lack of description or definition of social capital in international settings. The purpose of our paper was to describe the degree of social capital in an international sample of adults living with HIV/AIDS. Methods We recruited PLWH at 16 sites from five countries including Canada, China, Namibia, Thailand, and the United States. Participants (n = 1,963) completed a cross-sectional survey and data were collected between August, 2009 and December, 2010. Data analyses included descriptive statistics, factor analysis, and correlational analysis. Results Participant's mean age was 45.2 years, most (69%) identified as male, African American/Black (39.9%), and unemployed (69.5%). Total mean social capital was 2.68 points, a higher than average total social capital score. Moderate correlations were observed between self-reported physical (r = 0.25) and psychological condition (r = 0.36), social support (r = 0.31), and total social capital. No relationships between mental health factors, including substance use, and social capital were detected. Conclusions This is the first report to describe levels of total social capital in an international sample of PLWH and to describe its relationship to self-reported health in this population.

Mori Ōgai als Übersetzer von Rilkes Novelle "Weißes Glück"
Creators: name: Oberwinkler, Michaela
Publisher: name: Bunron – Zeitschrift für literaturwissenschaftliche Japanforschung
Year: 2019

description: This paper examines the translation techniques of Mori Ōgai in his rendering of the story Weißes Glück by Rainer Maria Rilke. It investigates Ōgai’s approach by comparing his translation to versions by Ōyama Teiichi and Itō Yukio. The paper argues that Ōgai pays particular attention to a smooth Japanese expression, easy to read and understand. On the other hand, examples discussed in detail show that Ōyama Teiichi’s and Itō Yukio’s translations are much closer to the German original. These contrasting approaches will be elucidated by analyzing the following features: title, sentence length, pronouns and personal references, representation of colors and noises, culture-specific realia, and rhetorical techniques.

Lyrik als Traumatherapie – Zur Funktion und Wirkungsweise japanischer Kurzgedichte nach dem Tōhoku-Erdbeben von 2011

Publisher: name: Bunron – Zeitschrift für literaturwissenschaftliche Japanforschung
Year: 2019

description: On the 11th of March 2011, a giant earthquake with a magnitude of 9.0 hit the east coast of northern Japan and triggered a tsunami which caused massive destruction in the Tōhoku region. This event and its nuclear aftermath led to severe psychological stress for the victims. How should one deal with this type of traumatic experience? What can be done to prevent or treat mental disorders like PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder)? Based on the concept of poetry therapy and its Japanese counterpart shiika ryōhō, this paper examines the possibility of dealing with and overcoming trauma by reading and writing literature. The case analysis of Asahigaoka, a district of Minamisanriku in Miyagi Prefecture, illustrates how these theories can be applied. About one month after the threefold catastrophe, survivors gathered together at the local community center to exchange their thoughts about the disaster. They not only talked to each other, but also chose senryū, a classical Japanese short poetic form that consists of seventeen morae, to express themselves. This study shows that in the case of Asahigaoka, daily collective reading, presenting, and writing of senryū was not only a stabilizing factor in the everyday life of the people, but also helped them to open their hearts to others. This led them to talk about their feelings, which resulted in the opportunity to experience a special form of emotional healing.

description: Background: Regular HIV testing among people who inject drugs is an essential component of HIV prevention and treatment efforts. We explored HIV testing behaviour among a community-recruited sample of injection drug users (IDU) in Bangkok, Thailand. Methods: Data collected through the Mitsampan Community Research Project were used to examine correlates of HIV testing behaviour among IDU and to explore reasons for not being tested. Multivariate logistic regression was used to examine factors associated with willingness to access HIV testing at the drug-user-run Mitsampan Harm Reduction Centre (MSHRC). Results: Among the 244 IDU who participated in this study, 186 (76.2%) reported receiving HIV testing in the previous six months. Enrolment in voluntary drug treatment (odds ratio [OR] = 2.34; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.18 - 4.63) and the tenofovir trial (OR = 44.81; 95%CI: 13.44 - 149.45) were positively associated with having been tested, whereas MSHRC use (OR = 1.78; 95%CI: 0.96 - 3.29) was marginally associated with having been tested. 56.9% of those who had not been tested reported in engaging in HIV risk behaviour in the past six months. 181 (74.2%) participants were willing to be tested at the MSHRC if testing were offered there. In multivariate analyses, willingness to get HIV testing at the MSHRC was positively associated with ever having been to the MSHRC (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 2.42; 95%CI: 1.21 - 4.85) and, among females, being enrolled in voluntary drug treatment services (AOR = 9.38; 95%CI: 1.14 - 76.98). Conclusions: More than three-quarters of IDU received HIV testing in the previous six months. However, HIV risk behaviour was common among those who had not been tested. Additionally, 74.2% of participants were willing to receive HIV testing at the MSHRC. These findings provide evidence for ongoing HIV prevention education, as well potential benefits of incorporating HIV testing for IDU within peer-led harm reduction programs.

description: Introduction: Tumor infiltrating lymphocytes may indicate an immune response to cancer development, but their significance remains controversial in breast cancer. We conducted this study to assess CD8+ (cytotoxic T) lymphocyte infiltration in a large cohort of invasive early stage breast cancers, and to evaluate its prognostic effect in different breast cancer intrinsic subtypes. Methods: Immunohistochemistry for CD8 staining was performed on tissue microarrays from 3992 breast cancer patients. CD8+ tumor infiltrating lymphocytes were counted as intratumoral when in direct contact with tumor cells, and as stromal in adjacent locations. Kaplan-Meier functions and Cox proportional hazards regression models were applied to examine the associations between tumor infiltrating lymphocytes and breast cancer specific survival. Results: Among 3403 cases for which immunohistochemical results were obtained, CD8+ tumor infiltrating lymphocytes were identified in an intratumoral pattern in 32% and stromal pattern in 61% of the cases. In the whole cohort, the presence of intratumoral tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes was significantly correlated with young age, high grade, estrogen receptor negativity, human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 positivity and core basal intrinsic subtype, and was associated with superior breast cancer specific survival. Multivariate analysis indicated that the favorable prognostic effect of CD8+ tumor infiltrating lymphocytes was significant only in the core basal intrinsic subgroup (Hazard ratio, HR = 0.35, 95% CI = 0.23-0.54). No association with improved survival was present in those triple negative breast cancers that lack expression of basal markers (HR = 0.99, 95% CI = 0.48-2.04) nor in the other intrinsic subtypes. Conclusions: CD8+ tumor infiltrating lymphocytes are an independent prognostic factor associated with better patient survival in basal-like breast cancer, but not in non-basal triple negative breast cancers nor in other intrinsic molecular subtypes.
„Verrückte Sprache und ausgeschmückte Worte“ – Zum buddhistischen Diskurs über den Wert der Literatur im Rahmen der Genji-Rezeption des 12. Jahrhunderts
Creators: name: Balmes, Sebastian
Publisher: name: Bunron – Zeitschrift für literaturwissenschaftliche Japanforschung
Year: 2017

description: When in the second half of the 12th century the belief spread that Murasaki Shikibu had fallen into hell for writing her famous work of fiction, the Genji monogatari, a Buddhist ritual seemed to be the only way of ensuring her salvation. This ritual, which is described in the liturgical text Genji ipponkyō [kuyō hyōbyaku] by the Tendai monk Chōken, focuses even more on Murasaki’s listeners and readers than on the author herself. According to the Genji ipponkyō, the emotions of the readership impeding their spiritual progress lead to a karmic bond between them and the author, causing them all to fall into hell. The ritual devised by Chōken links the Genji monogatari to the Lotus Sūtra and inverts the “faults by elegant words” so that they become the cause of enlightenment. Through an analysis of the Genji ipponkyō and other liturgical texts, Buddhist conceptions of literature are examined. It is shown that the expression “wild words and fancy phrases” (kyōgen kigo) was used in a range of meanings: not only could it be used to posit a critical stance on literature or the interpretation of literature as an “expedient device” (hōben), but it could also refer to a non-dualistic view of language, thus corresponding to the expression “coarse words and gentle phrases” (sogon nango). Comparing the Genji ipponkyō to another text by Chōken evolving around poetry, this article also explores how different literary activities influenced the content of rituals and how Chōken evaluated poetry and fiction. Finally, by contrasting Chōken’s thoughts with the monk-poet Jakuchō’s defense of Murasaki’s writing in his Ima kagami it is argued that ‒ as opposed to the premise that Buddhism oppressed literary endeavors in medieval Japan ‒ although Jakuchō uses different arguments to deny Murasaki’s guilt, Chōken’s ritual is more affirmative in regard to literature.

Miyazaki Hayao’s Kaze tachinu (The Wind Rises) as an Homage to Hori Tatsuo
Creators: name: Bader, Niels Hendrik
Publisher: name: Bunron – Studies in Japanese Literature
Year: 2017

description: This study analyzes Miyazaki Hayao’s movie Kaze tachinu as an homage to the writer Hori Tatsuo’s famous novel Kaze tachinu, and also takes into account Miyazaki’s earlier comic version of Kaze tachinu (by the same title). While both titles are taken from Hori’s famous novel, Miyazaki’s movie, in contrast to his comic, strongly diverges from the book’s plot. Still, in both cases, the narrative centering on the female protagonist and her fatal illness contains conspicuous similarities regarding images and locations, as well as structural parallels concerning for example the omission of major events such as death. These structures, just as the role of the verse “Le vent se lève!…” and the connected motif of wind, both of which exhibit similarities to Hori’s novel, are noticeably incorporated into the seemingly unrelated main plot, focusing on the main protagonist Horikoshi Jirō’s dreams and on his work constructing war-planes. The multilayered identities embodied in him reflect on several real and fictional persons, amongst them Hori Tatsuo himself, underscored by various techniques of authentication and fictionalization. This paper analyzes all three works comparatively to find out if – and how – movie and comic are inspired by and related to Hori’s novel Kaze tachinu, and will in the process show how Miyazaki changes meanings, statements, and motifs in his works.

Transculturally Visualizing Tanizaki: Manji in Liliana Cavani’s Interno Berlinese
Creators: name: Resta, Daniele
Publisher: name: Bunron – Studies in Japanese Literature
Year: 2017

description: Manji (1928–30) is probably one of Tanizaki Jun’ichirō’s best known works. The novel is structured as the confessional monologue of Sonoko, a married upper-class young woman who, at some point in her heterosexual life, falls in love with Mitsuko, a seductive fellow student. Their sapphic relationship is complicated by the intrusion of the ambiguous, impotent Watanuki, Mitsuko’s ex-fiancé, and Kotarō, Sonoko’s anhedonic husband. In an attempt to put an end to his wife’s momentary bewilderment, even Kotarō will find himself entrapped in Mitsuko’s web of voluptuosity and deception. As many of other Tanizaki’s stories, Manji has been adapted to film several times. This article focuses on one of the most controversial of these adaptations, namely the 1985 film Interno berlinese (The Berlin Affair). Directed by the Italian auteur Liliana Cavani, the film has, among others, the peculiarity of transplanting the original Ōsaka four-way love affair into Nazi Germany. This and other unusual adaptation choices will be discussed, in an attempt to grasp Cavani’s understanding of the story and, more broadly, of Tanizaki’s poetics.

maritime VET

description: This toolkit provides a set of tools, materials, and resources that will enable VET maritime teachers and VET maritime schools to integrate, explore, and develop green and sustainable skills at the macro level (school level) and micro level (classroom/student level).

This digital tool will provide theoretical information and didactic digital materials that can be used by teachers and school leaders in their educational institutions to teach Green Skills to instructors/trainers and students.

In terms of content, this document is based on a set of Green Skills and Competencies identified by the Consortium, which is composed of professionals in the field. However, the content and competencies will also take into account existing resources and projects related to sustainability, such as Green Comp, ESCO, SKILLSEA. Thus, the document will present a series of lesson plans and projects/activities that can be implemented in schools and classrooms based on each defined skill.

As this digital toolkit for green skills aims to promote the attractiveness of  blue careers both among both VET students (future maritime/blue professionals) and regular pathways students, a list of occupations related to the maritime education pathway is presented in this document.

Following this line, the toolkit will also provide a set of best practices and additional resources that can be useful for teachers and school leaders to get more information about some important topics that can be useful in the maritime field.

It is important to emphasize that all the content presented in the toolkit will take into account the specific offer of the partner VET schools as well as  the levels of EQF 4 and 5 levels: Fisheries, Maritime Transport, Port and Shipping Management, Marine Engineering. Moreover, all content will be translated into Portuguese, Italian, English, Spanish and German and will be available on the project website at no additional cost.

description: The problem of fault detection via interval parity relations designed for systems described by linear models under the external disturbances and measurement noise is considered. To solve the problem, the reduced-order model of minimal dimension insensitive or having minimal sensitivity to the external disturbances is used. Based on this model, the interval parity relations are designed. The relations that allow to construct two residuals are obtained and theorem showing that zero is between these residuals for healthy system is proved. Theoretical results are illustrated by example.
