For the Eyes Only: The Sensory Politics of Japanese Modernism
Creators: name: Hayter, Irena
Publisher: name: Bunron – Studies in Japanese Literature
Year: 2017

description: Japan's modernization entailed, amongst other things, a new distribution of the sensible and the privileging of visuality by the state’s regimes of power and knowledge. Larger historical and technological forces demanded the specialization and commodification of the senses: photography and film froze sight and detached it from the totality of experience, while the radio, the phonograph and the telephone separated hearing from seeing. It is tempting to see literature and especially the modernist movement of Yokomitsu Riichi, Kawabata Yasunari and Kataoka Teppei from the 1920s as a site of resistance against these historical processes and the gradual specularization of experience: after all, they called themselves “shinkankaku-ha”, “New Perceptionists”. Close readings of their fictional and critical texts, however, reveal a much more ambiguous stance. Kankaku (“sensation”, “perception”, “sense impression”) emerges as purified from the fleshy materiality of the body and reduced to the visual only. Regardless of whether they wrote on literature or on film, the modernists emphasized a new sensation that was free from the mediations of the writer’s psyche, in the case of literature, and purged from intertitles and the narration of the benshi, as far as cinema was concerned. Their ideas about sensation and perception resonated with the so-called “pure film movement” (jun’eigageki undō) from the 1910s and with later debates on “absolute cinema” (zettai eiga), which argued for a disembodied, intensely absorbed spectatorship that focused on the visual. The fragmented syntax, distorted temporalities and deinteriorized characters of Kawabata and Yokomitsu owe a lot to technologized visuality. This alienation of the self and its split into pure consciousness and objectified body, motifs that we find in both writers, could be ideologically problematic.

The Novel Ave Maria: The Legacy of Cinema in the Construction of Tanizaki’s Literary World of Dreams
Creators: name: Bienati, Luisa
Publisher: name: Bunron – Studies in Japanese Literature
Year: 2017

description: The aim of my paper is to highlight the influence of cinema and of visual techniques in Tanizaki Jun’ichirō’s narratives of his Yokohama period (1921–23). Famous novels by Tanizaki have been adapted for the screen, and they are widely studied by critics of the history of Japanese cinema. My perspective is not these filmic adaptations, nor the correlations between text and film. I will focus instead on the impact of Tanizaki’s experience of cinematic production during his stay in Yokohama on his narrative style. In Yokohama he actively cooperated with the Taishō Katsuei film company and with the director Thomas (Kisaburō) Kurihara after the latter’s return to Japan from Hollywood. The focus of my paper is on the novel Ave Maria (1923), which has not yet been studied from this point of view, and on the effect cinematic techniques had on Tanizaki’s literary world of dreams. I will examine in particular the references to films and Hollywood actresses, literary descriptions influenced by close-ups and motion pictures as well as the black and white cinema as sensual and aesthetic experiences of light and shadow.

Ibuse Masuji's Kuroi Ame (1965) and Imamura Shōhei's Film Adaption (1989)
Creators: name: Auestad, Reiko A
Publisher: name: Bunron – Studies in Japanese Literature
Year: 2017

description: We all know that both literature and film have power to move us, inviting us to identify with strangers, creating an opportunity to make all relations “thicker.” It is a challenging task, however, to represent an event that involves a lot of emotions, especially traumatic ones, on behalf of someone else. There is also a problem of priority, when there are many competing stories of “victimization” that need to be told at the same time. Ibuse is not a victim of A-bomb himself, and his strategy in Black Rain was to draw extensively on a “real-life” diary by a survivor who has witnessed the carnage in Hiroshima, which has been received positively by some as an exemplary “non-victim novel” with a documentary look, but criticized by some as a work of plagiarism disguised as fiction. With Imamura’s filmatization, another issue related to representation is introduced. Even as the film is generally acknowledged to have successfully strived for “the look of nonfiction” with its minimalism, Carole Cavanaugh argues that the film, by adding a story about the female protagonist’s romantic union with a veteran soldier suffering from PTSD, attempts to “fixate world memory on the icons of Japanese suffering” and “simultaneously blott[s] out recollection of Japan at war” and of marginalized others.[i] Whose story deserves to be told, and how? This paper tries to probe into these questions by using Ibuse Masuji’s Black Rain, and Imamura Shohei’s 1989 filmatization of it as case studies, with the specificity of the media in mind.

Gescheiterte Enthüllung unter dem Himmel von Nason: Kim Masumis postkoloniale Erzählung Nason no sora (2001)
Creators: name: Haufs-Brusberg, Maren
Publisher: name: Bunron – Zeitschrift für literaturwissenschaftliche Japanforschung
Year: 2017

description: Although the Korean minority in Japan is of colonial origin, most studies dealing with zainichi literature do not focus on its (post)coloniality. This paper argues that analyzing zainichi writing from the perspective of postcolonial theory provides a fruitful contribution to the study of zainichi literature. Since postcolonial theory is usually biased towards Western (post)colonialism, emphasizing the dichotomy between Western colonial powers and their colonies, it is necessary to adapt it to the case of Japan. The first part of this paper therefore maintains that the dichotomy between Japan and its former colony Korea is fundamentally interwoven with a third factor: The West. The second part of this paper concentrates on the text Nason no sora (2001) by the zainichi author Kim Masumi, stressing its postcolonial character and illustrating the potential of a postcolonial reading.

description: Objective: To determine the magnitude of the risk of incident cardiovascular disease (CVD; fatal and non-fatal), including acute myocardial infarction (MI), cerebrovascular accidents (CVA) and congestive heart failure (CHF), in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) compared to the general population through a meta- analysis of controlled observational studies. Methods: The authors searched the Medline, Embase, LILACS and Cochrane databases from their inception to June 2011. Observational studies meeting the following criteria were included: (1) prespecified RA criteria; (2) predefined CVD criteria for incident CVD (MI, CVA or CHF); (3) a comparison group; and (4) RR estimates, 95% CI or data for calculating them. The authors calculated the pooled RR using the random-effects model and tested for heterogeneity using the bootstrap version of the Q statistic. Results: Fourteen studies comprising 41 490 patients met the inclusion criteria. Overall, there was a 48% increased risk of incident CVD in patients with RA (pooled RR 1.48 (95% CI 1.36 to 1.62)). The risks of MI and CVA were increased by 68% (pooled RR 1.68 (95% CI 1.40 to 2.03)) and 41% (pooled RR 1.41 (95% CI 1.14 to 1.74)). The risk of CHF was assessed in only one study (RR 1.87 (95% CI 1.47 to 2.39)). Significant heterogeneity existed in all main analyses. Subgroup analyses showed that inception cohort studies were the only group that did not show a significantly increased risk of CVD (pooled RR 1.12 (95% CI 0.97 to 1.65)). Conclusions: Published data indicate that the risk of incident CVD is increased by 48% in patients with RA compared to the general population. Sample and cohort type influenced the estimates of RR.
Performative Aspekte des Rakugo-Theaters

Year: 2014

description: What is most important about a Rakugo performance? Is the performer supposed to follow a set of norms? Or is he free to do as he likes in order to entertain the audience? Using Fischer-Lichte’s concept of performance, this paper examines current trends in Rakugo theory and criticism, discussing the approaches of Horii Ken’ichi and Hirose Kazuo, as well as examples of contemporary Rakugo artists such as Shunpūtei Shōta or Kawayanagi Tsukushi, in whose performances the performative aspect of Rakugo comes to the fore.

Sprache im Vollzug: zur Performativität von „Predigt“ und „Predigtballade“ im vormodernen Japan
Creators: name: Buck-Albulet, Heidi
Publisher: name: Bunron – Zeitschrift für literaturwissenschaftliche Japanforschung
Year: 2014

description: While Japan has often been regarded as a culture of silence, in fact there has always been a rich tradition of eloquent speech, storytelling and preaching. In this paper I will explore the “performative” nature of sermon ballads (sekkyōbushi) and Buddhist sermons (sekkyō), focusing on some key aspects of Erika Fischer-Lichte’s concept of “performativity” and “theatrality” as well as on related concepts by Sekiyama Kazuo. I will describe how medieval Buddhist sermons underwent a kind of “performative turn” and developed a “theatralic style”. As a performance of texts, sermons share certain features with sermon ballads, such as vocal delivery or entertaining aspects. Sermon ballads are a sub-genre of katarimono (“storytelling”), and it is interesting to note that the verb kataru means recitation as well as narration. While a performance studies approach to literature prefers the act of narrating and recitating to the literary artefact, the performative acts by their very nature are ephemeral, therefore the researcher must deal with the paradox that the artefacts are all we have. In performance theory, the power to change reality is regarded as a key feature of performative acts. A speech act, as Fischer-Lichte put it, can change the world “like magic”. However, as I will argue, at least from the perspective of premodern concepts, the performative power of speech acts, such as kataru, does not just work “like magic” but also “by magic”.

Mishima Yukios Yūkoku (Patriotismus) – Performativität im Text und Textualität im Film
Creators: name: Mak, Rebecca
Publisher: name: Bunron – Zeitschrift für literaturwissenschaftliche Japanforschung
Year: 2014

description: Because Mishima Yukio anticipates his own suicide in this short story from 1960, Yūkoku has always had a special position within his œuvre. By comparing the prose text with the movie Yūkoku released in 1966, which Mishima himself directed, staged and played the main character in, I will show how the narrative differs within the two types of media and how each piece functions. I argue that the text’s performativity and the film’s textuality are the reason why it was possible for Mishima to address such an anachronistic topic in the 1960s without provoking negative responses. Furthermore, I will show that Mishima’s own suicide is part of the text’s performativity and has influenced the reception of the text to an extent that makes it impossible for readers to differentiate between text, film and author.

Is the Solutrean Linked to Climatic and Environmental Changes of the Upper Pleniglacial? Searching for the Drivers of the Changes in the Economy and Mobility of Solutrean Groups in Southwestern France
Creators: name: Fontana, Laure
Publisher: name: PaleoAnthropology
Year: 2022

description: In this paper, I examine the relationship between the emergence and development of the Solutrean and the climatic deterioration in western Europe from 26,500 to 22,000 cal BP. Through a study of the animal resource economy, I aim to identify potential differences in terms of prey choice, hunting and seasonality strategies, and the procurement and processing of animal resources between the Solutrean and the preceding and following cultures. My analysis of 49 faunal assemblages originating from 24 Solutrean sites in France demonstrates that there are no major differences between the Solutrean and these other cultures in terms of reindeer being the dominant prey and hunting strategies. In general, reindeer remained the dominant hunted prey from the end of the Gravettian to the end of the Middle Magdalenian. Any differences were above all regional, though the preference for reindeer was strongest in the Solutrean, at the same time as the prey diversity was the lowest. Reindeer hunting strategies remained non-selective from the Gravettian until the end of the Magdalenian, and the regions where this species was hunted year-round remained the same throughout this time. It is possible that the annual nomadic cycle was based on very low mobility during the cold season and specialized flint procurement during the warm season, but here again, this was probably not specific to the Solutrean. It thus appears that the Solutrean economic system, based on the exploitation of reindeer and lithic raw materials, was not affected by environmental constraints to the point of being significantly modified. To explain this relative economic stasis, I refer to the conditions of the Upper Pleniglacial, which, though it was extreme during the Solutrean, was very cold and dry throughout the period from 30,000 to 18,000 cal BP.

Wie wirkt dichterische Sprache? Überlegungen zur Performativität in der klassischen japanischen Dichtung
Creators: name: Árokay, Judit
Publisher: name: Bunron – Zeitschrift für literaturwissenschaftliche Japanforschung
Year: 2014

description: Shifting the perspective in the analysis of classical Japanese poetry from textuality to performative strategies opens up new possibilities of interpretation. Despite some extremely restrictive features predominant in Japanese poetry such as the shortness of the tanka or haikai, strict rules for the usage of poetic vocabulary or of allusions and citations, these lyric forms endured almost unchanged for many centuries: Poetry was one of the main cultural assets in a strictly hierarchical society, and it was shared by practically all strata of literates. Focusing on the circumstances of production and reception of poetry enables us to reconstruct other features than the textual meaning of the poems. The first part of this essay explores the possibilities of applying the terminology of performance studies to poems and poetic practice, the second part focuses on poetic treatises and analytical terms from the late Tokugawa period. It will be argued that both poetic as well as analytical practice do not primarily follow hermeneutic principles, but privilege the moment of creation/reception of poems and the capacity to capture the mood of the moment.

Were the Technological Innovations of the Gravettian Triggered by Climatic Change? Insights from the Lithic Assemblages from Hohle Fels, SW Germany
Creators: name: Taller, Andreas
name: Conard, Nicholas J.
Publisher: name: PaleoAnthropology
Year: 2022

description: During the Gravettian several innovations in lithic technology and typology appear. Blank production focuses on long, straight and narrow blades and bladelets. The preparation and maintenance of cores is frequent, and core exploitation is efficient. Often bladelets and smaller blades are transformed into standardized backed elements, among them the well-known Gravette and Microgravette points. Backed elements were often hafted. Many were parts of a modular projectile technology, but some probably served other uses such as cutting or perforating. These artifacts are part of a highly mobile toolkit, and their modular nature makes them especially convenient in terms of transport and maintenance. The Gravettian developed during a phase of constant cooling in Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 3, which ultimately lead to the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). Here we look at the lithic assemblages from the Gravettian of Hohle Fels Cave in southwest Germany and discuss the possible impact that climate change might have had on Paleolithic hunter-gatherer societies during the end of MIS 3. We examine the degree to which environmental development triggered some of the innovations that came with the Gravettian.

Nigst (Department of Prehistoric and Historical Archaeology, University of Vienna).

description: Background: There are no known causes for progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). The microtubule associated protein tau (MAPT) H1 haplotype is the major genetic factor associated with risk of PSP, with both oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction also implicated. We investigated whether specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes encoding enzymes of xenobiotic detoxification, mitochondrial functioning, or oxidative stress response, including debrisoquine 4-hydroxylase, paraoxonase 1 and 2, N-acetyltransferase 1 and 2 (NAT2), superoxide dismutase 1 and 2, and PTEN-induced putative kinase are associated with PSP. Methods DNA from 553 autopsy-confirmed Caucasian PSP cases (266 females, 279 males; age at onset 68 ± 8 years; age at death 75 ± 8) from the Society for PSP Brain Bank and 425 clinical control samples (197 females, 226 males; age at draw 72 ± 11 years) from healthy volunteers were genotyped using Taqman PCR and the SequenomiPLEX Gold assay. Results The proportion of NAT2 rapid acetylators compared to intermediate and slow acetylators was larger in cases than in controls (OR = 1.82, p < 0.05). There were no allelic or genotypic associations with PSP for any other SNPs tested with the exception of MAPT (p < 0.001). Conclusions Our results show that NAT2 rapid acetylator phenotype is associated with PSP, suggesting that NAT2 may be responsible for activation of a xenobiotic whose metabolite is neurotoxic. Although our results need to be further confirmed in an independent sample, NAT2 acetylation status should be considered in future genetic and epidemiological studies of PSP.
Performanztheoretische Perspektiven auf japanische Kulturen des Bildes
Creators: name: Schrape, Wibke
Publisher: name: Bunron – Zeitschrift für literaturwissenschaftliche Japanforschung
Year: 2014

description: This essay addresses different perspectives of performativity on Japanese visual cultures. In juxtaposing theoretical reflections on the performativity of images in Western art history with performative phenomena in Japanese visual cultures, it aims at encouraging a promising interdisciplinary dialogue. The first chapter summarizes theoretical approaches to the notion of cultural performance and performance studies relevant to the art-historical debate on performativity. The second chapter outlines ongoing theoretical reflections in the German speaking scientific community of art history. The debate centers on performativity but also intersects with ideas concerning the general nature of images as deictic communication systems (iconic difference) and their capability to convince the viewer through visual affection (iconic evidence). It furthermore touches the question of who is acting in performative processes within as well as with images – the images themselves (image act) or the viewers (gaze act). The third chapter introduces three exemplary approaches to Japanese images and visual cultures from performance-theoretical perspectives, namely to painting on the spot (sekiga), to the cultural normalization of the brushstroke as an expression of the painter’s personality, and to Morimura Yasumasa’s photographic Art History Series as a contemporary example. The outlook focuses on the historic and ongoing art-historical approaches to act with images, discussing art history itself as being actively involved in performative processes.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

Performanz – Allgemeine Anmerkungen und ein Blick auf Watsuji Tetsurōs Beschreibung des Menschen
Creators: name: Heise, Jens
Publisher: name: Bunron – Zeitschrift für literaturwissenschaftliche Japanforschung
Year: 2014

description: According to Austin, performatives are characterized by two features: First, performative sentences are not used to describe and cannot be true or false, they have no truth value. Second, uttering a performative sentence in appropriate circumstances is not simply saying something, but rather performing a certain kind of action. From the perspective of the philosophy of culture, performatives refer to the context, to external features of subjectivity and to visible traits like social space or body. In modern Japanese philosophy, Watsuji Tetsurō’s Ethics presents an anthropological model that can be interpreted using the vocabulary of performativity. The central idea here is that man is located and tied up in space and that he can find himself only through embodiment in institutional settings and role patterns.

Year: 2020

description: Papua New Guinea (PNG) has registered eight positive COVID-19 cases across five different provinces since March 2020, though all have recovered. A two-week nationwide state of emergency (SOE) and lockdown to curtail the movement of people were initially declared on 23 March when the first case was reported. The SOE was extended for another two months when it expired, whilst the lockdown was lifted. The lockdown restricted travel between provinces and mandated a complete shutdown of non-essential services, whilst the SOE prevents international travel and travel to selected provinces. Despite these efforts against the spread of COVID-19, seven of the domestic cases were from local transmission. This In Brief argues that PNG’s reliance on the SOE and lockdowns to contain COVID-19 is proving difficult due to years of government negligence that have led to both poor health infrastructure and limited police and military capabilities, including the ability to adequately police unauthorised movements across PNG’s borders.
Submersible UV-Vis Spectroscopy for Quantifying Streamwater Organic Carbon Dynamics: Implementation and Challenges before and after Forest Harvest in a Headwater Stream

description: Organic material, including total and dissolved organic carbon (DOC), is ubiquitous within aquatic ecosystems, playing a variety of important and diverse biogeochemical and ecological roles. Determining how land-use changes affect DOC concentrations and bioavailability within aquatic ecosystems is an important means of evaluating the effects on ecological productivity and biogeochemical cycling. This paper presents a methodology case study looking at the deployment of a submersible UV-Vis absorbance spectrophotometer (UV-Vis spectro::lyzer model, s::can, Vienna, Austria) to determine stream organic carbon dynamics within a headwater catchment located near Campbell River (British Columbia, Canada). Field-based absorbance measurements of DOC were made before and after forest harvest, highlighting the advantages of high temporal resolution compared to traditional grab sampling and laboratory measurements. Details of remote deployment are described. High-frequency DOC data is explored by resampling the 30 min time series with a range of resampling time intervals (from daily to weekly time steps). DOC export was calculated for three months from the post-harvest data and resampled time series, showing that sampling frequency has a profound effect on total DOC export. DOC exports derived from weekly measurements were found to underestimate export by as much as 30% compared to DOC export calculated from high-frequency data. Additionally, the importance of the ability to remotely monitor the system through a recently deployed wireless connection is emphasized by examining causes of prior data losses, and how such losses may be prevented through the ability to react when environmental or power disturbances cause system interruption and data loss.
What We Can Learn From Provincial Governments in Solomon Islands: A Personal Perspective - Part 1: Local Recruitment
Creators: name: Phillips, Melanie
Publisher: name: Canberra, ACT: Dept. of Pacific Affairs, Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, The Australian National University
Year: 2020

description: The problems of Solomon Islands’ provincial governments have been the subject of political investigations, with stories of their corruption regularly run in the country’s two daily national newspapers. Rarely is there a good news story about provincial governments, unless it relates to their managing to prove themselves slightly less corrupt by obtaining a qualified audit report. This In Brief is the first in a series of two. In the first In Brief the author talks about what we can learn from the way provincial governments employ people and the importance of local recruitment. In part two she discusses financing and, in particular, why understanding how and where provincial governments get their money is important not just for national planning, but peace as well.

Seasonal Markers: Seven Series of Magdalenian Images and Their Symbolic Use
Creators: name: Castelli, Andrea
Publisher: name: PaleoAnthropology
Year: 2022

description: This article presents results from an extensive review of the figurative images engraved on different classes of Middle and Upper Magdalenian artifacts made from organic materials. Seven of the recurrent subjects identified reveal a clear focus on selected anatomical and behavioral characters only displayed by the corresponding species at a well-defined time of the year, referred to here as a biological season. These seasonal characters were regularly emphasized by the image-makers in direct and indirect ways, including image framing, selective stylization, and the omission or reduction of other features. These findings are explained with a new theory inspired by selected remarks found in the writings of the late Alexander Marshack. Unlike existing theories on the meaning of Paleolithic art, the one presented here is directly based on the archaeological evidence and can only be applied to selected series of images, whose definition relies on the newly introduced concept of recurrent subjects. While future research will likely extend its application to additional examples and series, it could never become another general theory because at least two series falling outside its scope are known.

description: The Gröbner walk is an algorithm for Gröbner basis conversion of ideals in the polynomial ring I < k[x1, ..., xn]. It exploits the geometric properties of the Gröbner fan, which is a polyhedral fan in R^n, the maximal cones of which are in one-to-one correspondence with the marked Gröbner bases of I. In this text, we describe the functionality of the algorithm step by step and provide a formal proof of correctness. We then survey a series of modifications which have been proposed over the years, most notably path perturbation and the generic Gröbner walk. Finally we discuss the performance of the Gröbner walk in a variety of settings and compare it with other Gröbner basis conversion algorithms in both Macaulay2 and OSCAR. This is a master's thesis which was written at TU Berlin in 2024 under the supervision of Carlos Amendola.
description: Der Gröbner walk ist ein Algorithmus für den Wechsel von Gröbnerbasen eines polynomiellen Ideals I < k[x1, ..., xn]. Das Verfahren nutzt die geometrischen Eigenschaften des Gröbnerfächers aus; letzterer ist ein polyedrischer Fächer in R^n, dessen Kegel maximaler Dimension in Eins-zu-eins Korrispondenz zu den markierten Gröbnerbasen von I sind. In diesem Text werden die Schritte des Algorithmus ausführlich beschrieben und es wird einen formalen Beweis seiner Korrektheit geliefert. Weiterhin beschreiben wir eine Reihe von Veränderungen wie der perturbierte und der generische walk, die im Laufe der Jahre enstanden sind. Zum Schluss untersuchen wir die Leistung der unterschiedlichen Gröbner walks in einer Vielzahl von Kontexten und vergleichen sie mit weiteren Algorithmen zur Gröbnerbasis-Berechnung in Macaulay2 und OSCAR.

title: Tagata Sa'ilimalo Pacific Peoples Living with Disability
Creators: name: Vakamacawai, Esala
name: Vunibola, Suliasi
Publisher: name: Macmillan Brown Center for Pacific Studies
Year: 2025

description: This booklet is intended for people living with disability and their Vuvale (Family), Pacific peoples service providers, academics, tertiary students and the community. The stories in this booklet were derived from Pacific peoples lived experiences of disability. During fortnightly meetings with the Tagata Sa'ilimalo group at Vaka Tautua in Christchurch, we were deeply moved by our people's challenge, and we hope that these stories can inspire others with disabilities to speak up and ask for help. If you are living with a disability and feeling like you are alone and have reached the end of the road, remember that there is someone out there who is also fighting to make it through the day, just like you. The booklet will serve as a reference guide for Pacific service providers who provide fundamental assistance for Pacific families and their Vuvale. The booklet will provide lived experience perspectives for academics and the research community, providing novel insights into disability, support, and Pacific disability framework.
What We Can Learn from Provincial Governments in Solomon Islands: A Personal Perspective - Part 2: Using Provincial Revenue for Peace and Localised Solutions
Creators: name: Phillips, Melanie
Publisher: name: Canberra, ACT: Dept. of Pacific Affairs, Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, The Australian National University
Year: 2020

description: This is the second In Brief about what we can learn from provincial governments in Solomon Islands. Both papers draw heavily on the author’s experiences of working as the legal adviser to the Ministry of Provincial Government and Institutional Strengthening based in Honiara. In this role she observed corruption — and plenty of it — but also saw examples of real creativity and adaptability. From this, she highlights valuable lessons to be learnt. In the first In Brief, the author discussed the importance of recruiting locally and the way that some provincial governments had prioritised local recruitment over secondments from Honiara. At the end of that In Brief she alluded to the importance of provincial revenue. The author picks up on this point here and discusses what she thinks we can learn from how provinces raise and spend money.
Denken innerhalb der Zeitschrift Risō während der dreißiger Jahre ‒ Ein Kommentar zu Entwicklungen und Tendenzen der Philosophie Japans
Creators: name: Rüsch, Markus
Publisher: name: Bunron – Zeitschrift für literaturwissenschaftliche Japanforschung
Year: 2015

description: Philosophy is often associated with two antithetic prejudices. One is the opinion that it describes the eternal structures of the world and is therefore not connected with reality. The other is the belief that philosophy is a dangerous tool that manipulates people subversively. In the latter case, it is too connected with reality. There is undoubtedly some truth in these concepts. If we look at Japan’s entry into the Second World War, the question of the role of philosophy within this development becomes immediately apparent. This paper tries to answer this question by focusing on articles published in the journal Risō based on the assumption that this is one of the best methods for obtaining an overview of the tendencies prevalent during the 1930s, as the journal is necessarily strongly bound to the time in which it was published. The paper is divided into three main parts. The first will provide an interpretation of the term “dark valley”, the second – after summarizing the developments within philosophical writings during the 1930s in general and Risō in particular – discusses four authors who published articles in this journal: Honda Kenzō, Ōshima Masanori, Miyamoto Shōson and Takashina Junji. The third part connects the first two and argues that the 1930s can give us an idea of how philosophy in a Japan approaching the Second World War increasingly developed into a way of reasoning within the frame of Japanese thinking. On the one hand, a shift to defend the Japanese culture can be observed. On the other, it will become clear that Japanese philosophy – as revealed in Risō – was much more autonomous than one would expect.

Poetik der Transgression: Modernistische Erzähltechniken in Kawabata Yasunaris Suishō gensō
Creators: name: Breu, Sebastian
Publisher: name: Bunron – Zeitschrift für literaturwissenschaftliche Japanforschung
Year: 2015

description: Kawabata Yasunari is known not only for the traditionalist poetics of his later days but also for his modernist period during the late 1920's and early 1930's, when he wrote as a member of the avant-garde movement Shinkankakuha. This paper provides a detailed reading of one of his last modernist works, the experimental novel Suishō gensō (Crystal Fantasies). While showing certain parallels to the psychological I-novel of its time in its exploration of subjectivity, the text distinguishes itself especially on a narrative level, implementing new forms of storytelling that unleash a lyrical and fragmented imagery upon the reader. My analysis seeks to illuminate the diegetic structure of Kawabata's text, showing how it functionally replaces the omnipresent voice of the self-reflexive narrator by cinematographic techniques of montage and collage, and how it provides an alternative „interior view“ of its characters, mediated via stream of consciousness. Following the split-second flow of associations, sounds and images, the reader is drawn into a world of intertextual cross-references to mythology, (pseudo-)science, psychoanalysis and popular culture ‒ discourses that left their imprints on the language of modernity and, in their contradictory co-presence, reveal a conflicted scenography of the modern mind.

description: This paper analyses Bijutsu no hongi (1885) and Shōsetsu sōron (1886) by Futabatei Shimei (1864–1909) in respect of their roots in the theories of art and literature by Vissarion Belinskij (1811–1848) and in Georg F. Hegel's (1770–1831) philosophy of idealism as well as with regard to their correlation and their role in the emancipation of narrative prose as a form of art in the early phase of modern Japanese literary history.

Literaturwissenschaftliche Japanforschung – Kein Ort. Nirgends?
Creators: name: Hijiya-Kirschnereit, Irmela
Publisher: name: Bunron – Zeitschrift für literaturwissenschaftliche Japanforschung
Year: 2015

description: Although the study of literature stood at the beginning of area studies and has also inspired cultural studies at their inception, nowadays, literary studies have lost much of their traditional relevance. What are the reasons for this loss of vigor and how can we react to this development in the 21st century? To answer these questions, we must first consider the status of Japanese literary and philological studies abroad in their interdependency with literary studies in Japan (kokubungaku), as well as with literary studies in other countries, e.g. German literature in Germany, French literature in France, and comparative literary studies in general. What is the specific locus and target audience of the study of Japanese literature in the academe and beyond? This paper identifies a number of possible, partly overlapping, disciplinary-scholarly and general reading communities and discusses their different potentials. In an increasingly Anglophone world, will Japanese studies in Germany or France and elsewhere lose their cultural and lingual specificity and merge into globalized English-speaking Japanese studies? Working in the field of Japanese literary studies, we should ponder these questions as they affect our self-image as mediators between cultures.
