Reflecting the Past: Place, Language, and Principle in Japan's Medieval Mirror GenreBrightwell, Erin L.

Harvard East Asian Monographs, 433 / Harvard University, Asia Center (Harvard U.P.)2020 : 10 340 p. Hardback 9780674247819 US$60.00

Reflecting the Past is the first English-language study to address the role of historiography in medieval Japan, an age at the time widely

believed to be one of irreversible decline. Drawing on a decade of research, including work with medieval manuscripts, it analyzes a set of

texts - eight Mirrors - that recount the past in an effort to order the world around them. They confront rebellions, civil war, “China,” attempted

invasions, and even the fracturing of the court into two lines. To interrogate the significance for medieval writers of narrating such pasts as

a Mirror, Erin Brightwell traces a series of innovations across these and related texts that emerge in the face of disorder. In so doing, she uncovers how a dynamic web of

evolving concepts of time, place, language use, and cosmological forces was deployed to order the past in an age of unprecedented social movement and upheaval.

Hoyt Long offers both a reinterpretation of modern Japanese literature through computational methods and an introduction to the history,

theory, and practice of looking at literature through numbers. He weaves explanations of these methods and their application to literature

together with critical reflection on the kinds of reasoning such methodologies facilitate. Chapters guide readers through increasingly complex

techniques while making novel arguments about topics of fundamental concern, including the role of quantitative thinking in Japanese literary

criticism; the canonization of modern literature in print and digital media; the rise of psychological fiction as a genre; the transnational circulation of modernist forms; and

discourses of race under empire.

This book provides an in-depth exploration of psychological phenomena affecting language learning within a social learning space. Drawing

on the literature from identity in second language learning, communities of practice and learner beliefs, in conjunction with other individual

difference factors, it uncovers perceptions and assumptions that language learners have of the space and how they affect their relationship

with it and the people within it. Readers will gain a greater understanding of how psychological phenomena shape a space and how a learning

space can contribute to a wider learning ecology. This book will appeal to researchers interested in language learning beyond the classroom and psychological aspects of

language acquisition, as well as to practitioners and professionals who are supporting learners outside the classroom.

In the first comprehensive study of the birth of Japanese commercial publishing, Laura Moretti investigates the vibrant world of vernacular

popular literature. She marshals new data on the magnitude of the seventeenth-century publishing business and highlights the diversity and

porosity of its publishing genres. Moretti explores how booksellers sparked interest among readers across the spectrum of literacies and

demonstrates how they tantalized consumers with vital ethical, religious, societal, and interpersonal knowledge. She recasts books as tools

for knowledge making, arguing that popular prose engaged its audience cognitively as well as aesthetically and emotionally to satisfy a burgeoning curiosity about the

world. Crucially, Moretti shows, readers experienced entertainment within the didactic, finding pleasure in the profit gained from acquiring knowledge by interacting with

transformative literature.

Modelling World Englishes: A Joint Approach to Postcolonial and Non-Postcolonial EnglishesBuschfeld, Sarah & Kautzsch, Alexander (ed.)

(Edinburgh U.P.)2020 : 08 440 p. Hardback 9781474445863 £95.00

This book brings together two types of varieties of English that have so far been treated separately: postcolonial and non-postcolonial

Englishes. It examines these varieties of English against the backdrop of current World Englishes theory, with a special focus on the extra-

and Intra-Territorial Forces (EIF) Model. Bringing together a range of distinguished researchers in the field, each chapter tests the validity of

this new model, analyses a different variety of English and assesses it in relation to current models of World Englishes. In doing so, the book

ends the long-standing conceptual gap between postcolonial and non-postcolonial Englishes and integrates these in a unified framework of World Englishes.

BFI Film Classics (British Film Inst.)2020 : 10 104 p. 60 b/w Paperback 9781839021879 £11.99

Throne of Blood (1957), Akira Kurosawa's reworking of Macbeth, is widely considered the greatest film adaptation of Shakespeare ever

made. In a detailed account of the film, Robert N. Watson explores how Kurosawa draws key philosophical and psychological arguments

from Shakespeare, translates them into striking visual metaphors, and inflects them through the history of post-World War II Japan. In his

foreword to this new edition, Robert Watson considers the central characters' Washizu and his wife Asaji's blunder in viewing life as a ruthless

competition in which only the most brutal can thrive in the context of an era of neoliberal economics, resurgent 'strongman' political leaders, and myopic views of the

environmenal crisis, with nothing valued that cannot be monetized.

Japonisme, the nineteenth-century fascination for Japanese art, has generated an enormous body of scholarship over the last twenty years,

but most of it neglects women, who also acquired objects from the Far East and displayed them in their homes before selling or bequeathing

them to museums. The stories of women collectors and shopkeepers rarely appear in memoirs left by those associated with the japoniste

movement.

(Cambridge Scholars)2020 : 05 438 p. Hardback 9781527546738 £68.99

This text presents Alfred Marshall’s final, unfinished, and unpublished book. His main volume, Principles of Economics, was first published in

1890, and was, for a long period of time, the textbook par excellence on which generations of economists were trained. Despite its success

and its importance, the book, in its eight editions, testifies to some extent to the failure of Marshall’s original editorial project which should

have consisted of multiple volumes and culminated with the publication of a final work on economic progress. Marshall’s death in 1924 made

it impossible to realize his project, but many notes written for it have survived. These notes, collected here, constitute a fundamental element in fully understanding the

thought and perspectives of this great economist and in appreciating his great modernity and wisdom.

What Really Counts is an essential, firsthand story of the promise and challenges of accounting for social, economic, and environmental

benefits. Ronald Colman recounts two decades of working with three governments to adopt measures capable of quantifying factors that GDP

overlooks. Chronicling his path from Nova Scotia to New Zealand to Bhutan, Colman details the challenge of devising meaningful metrics,

the effort to see alternatives realized, and the obstacles that stand in the way of implementing new systems. Reflecting on successes and

failures, he considers how to shift policy priorities from a narrow economic growth agenda toward a future built on sustainability and equity.

Confronting cultural fallout from the dawn of the nuclear age, Through Post-Atomic Eyes addresses the myriad iterations of nuclear threat and

their visual legacy in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Whether in the iconic black-and-white photograph of a mushroom cloud rising

over Nagasaki in 1945 or in the steady stream of real-time video documenting the 2011 meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power

plant, atomic culture - and our understanding of it - is inextricably constructed by the visual. This book takes the image as its starting point to

address the visual inheritance of atomic anxieties; the intersection of photography, nuclear industries, and military technocultures; and the complex temporality of nuclear

technologies. Contemporary artists contribute lens-based works that explore the consequences of the nuclear, and its afterlives, in the Anthropocene.

Drawing on the philosophical tradition from Plato and Aristotle to Lacan and Foucault, Lévy asks uncomfortable questions about reality

and mythology: he rejects the idea that the virus is a warning from nature, the inevitable result of global capitalism; he questions the heroic

status of doctors, asking us to think critically about the loci of authority and power; he challenges the panicked polarization that dominates

online discourse. Lucid, incisive, and always original, Lévy takes a bird’s-eye view of the most consequential historical event of our time and

proposes a way to defend human society from threats to our collective future.

序文:山崎正和

The Era of Great Disasters examines modern disaster response in Japan, from the changing earthquake preparations and regulations, to

immediate emergency procedures from the national, prefectural, and city levels, and finally the evolving efforts of rebuilding and preparing

for the next great disaster in the hopes of minimizing their tragic effects. This book focuses on three major earthquakes from Japan’s modern

history. The first is the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake, which struck the capital region. The second is the 1995 Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, affecting the area between

Kobe and Osaka. The third is the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, the magnitude 9.0 quake that struck off the Pacific coast of the Tohoku region, causing a devastating

tsunami and nuclear accident. While the events of (and around) each of these earthquakes are unique, Professor Iokibe brings his deep expertise and personal experience

to each disaster, unveiling not only the disasters themselves but the humanity underneath.

In July 2011, Rebecca Prince-Ruiz challenged herself to go plastic free for the whole month. Starting with a small group of people in the city

of Perth, the Plastic Free July movement has grown into a 250-million strong community across 177 countries, empowering people to reduce

single-use plastic consumption and create a cleaner future. This book explores how one of the world’s leading environmental campaigns took

off and shares lessons from its success. From narrating marine-debris research expeditions to tracking what actually happens to our waste to

sharing insights from behavioral research, it speaks to the massive scale of the plastic waste problem and how we can tackle it together.

In Kissinger and Latin America, Stephen G. Rabe analyzes U.S. policies toward Latin America during a critical period of the Cold War. Except

for the issue of Chile under Salvador Allende, historians have largely ignored inter-American relations during the presidencies of Richard M.

Nixon and Gerald R. Ford. Rabe also offers a way of adding to and challenging the prevailing historiography on one of the most preeminent

policymakers in the history of U.S. foreign relations. Scholarly studies on Henry Kissinger and his policies between 1969 and 1977 have

tended to survey Kissinger's approach to the world, with an emphasis on initiatives toward the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China and the struggle to

extricate the United States from the Vietnam conflict. Kissinger and Latin America offers something new--analyzing U.S. policies toward a distinct region of the world during

Kissinger's career as national security adviser and secretary of state.

This dual biographical study examines the lives of Edward Said and the eminent Lebanese philosopher and diplomat Charles Malik, a distant

relative 30 years his senior whom Said knew from childhood as “Uncle Charles.” To Said, Malik was no ordinary relative; in his memoir,

he called Malik “the great negative intellectual lesson of my life”, and was to describe him as “an ideal as I was growing up” only to later

claim Malik “went through an ugly transformation that I could never come to terms with”. M.D. Walhout charts the development of these two

remarkable figures, reconstructing in the process the way in which American power in the Middle East came to have a defining effect on Arab intellectuals in the twentieth

century.

Today, Southeast Asia stands uniquely exposed to the waxing power of the new China. Three of its nations border China and five are directly

impacted by its claims over the South China Sea. All dwell in the lengthening shadow of its influence: economic, political, military, and cultural.

As China seeks to restore its former status as Asia’s preeminent power, the countries of Southeast Asia face an increasingly stark choice:

flourish within Beijing’s orbit or languish outside of it. Meanwhile, as rival powers including the United States take concerted action to curb

Chinese ambitions, the region has emerged as an arena of heated strategic competition.

Comfort Women Activism: Critical Voices from the Perpetrator StateTai, Eika

(Hong Kong U.P.)2020 : 08 208 p. Hardback 9789888528455 US$62.00

Comfort Women Activism follows the movement championed by pioneer activists in Japan to demonstrate how their activism has kept a

critical interpretation of the atrocities against women committed before and during World War II alive. The book shows how the challenges

faced by the activists have evolved from the beginning of their uphill battles all the way to contemporary times. They were able to change

social attitudes and get their message across. Yet the ambiguous position of post-World War II Japan’s government - which has consistently

rejected any sign of guilt over its imperialist past - has kept the activists on their toes. Pivotal and serendipitous turning points have also played a crucial role. In particular, in

the early 1990s, the post-Soviet world order assisted in creating the appropriate conditions for the movement to gather transnational support. These conditions have eroded

over time; yet due to the activists’ fidelity to survivors, the movement has persisted to this day.

After Japanese emperor Naruhito ascended the Chrysanthemum throne in 2019, he preformed a secretive ritual funded by the state by

offering newly harvested rice to the Shintō sun goddess Amaterasu, mythological progenitor of the imperial family, raising controversy and

finds, central mythology, significant cultural sites, political dimensions, and historical developments. Its goal is to promote an understanding of

Shintō as an enduring cultural phenomenon central to Japan past and present.

第 3 章:Gulf-Japan Ties, Beyond the Energy Sector

Jun Saito & N. Janardhan (齋藤純:ジェトロ・アジア経済研究所地域研究センター)

Over the last two decades the relations between the countries of the Gulf and Asia have expanded beyond the economic domain to include

political and even security arrangements. While oil and non-oil trade are still the fulcrum of their association, ‘strategic’ partnerships are fast

becoming the norm. The contributors of this book argue that, along with economic diversification, the Gulf countries have also diversified their foreign policies, especially

with China, India, Japan and South Korea, among others. Together with Russia, this could eventually alter the current US-centric security paradigm. This opens up the

prospect for a ‘collective’ security architecture in the Gulf, which is key to regional and global stability.

1972 年、日本:大量消費時代の男らしさのビジョン

Japan, 1972: Visions of Masculinity in an Age of Mass ConsumerismIgarashi, Yoshikuni

(Columbia U.P.)2021 : 01 256 p. Hardback 9780231195546 US$140.00 Paperback 9780231195553 US$35.00

By the early 1970s, Japan had become an affluent consumer society, riding a growing economy to widely shared prosperity. In the aftermath

of the fiery political activism of 1968, the country settled down to the realization that consumer culture had taken a firm grip on Japanese

society. Japan, 1972 takes an early-seventies year as a vantage point for understanding how Japanese society came to terms with cultural

change. Yoshikuni Igarashi examines a broad selection of popular film, television, manga, and other media in order to analyze the ways

Japanese culture grappled with this economic shift. He exposes the political underpinnings of mass culture and investigates deeper anxieties over questions of agency and

masculinity.

The Great Inoculator: The Untold Story of Daniel Sutton and his Medical RevolutionWeightman, Gavin

(Yale U.P.)2020 : 08 208 p. Hardback 9780300241440 US$30.00

Smallpox was the scourge of the eighteenth century: it showed no mercy, almost wiping out whole societies. Young and old, poor and royalty

were equally at risk - unless they had survived a previous attack. Daniel Sutton, a young surgeon from Suffolk, used this knowledge to pioneer

a simple and effective inoculation method to counter the disease. His technique paved the way for Edward Jenner’s discovery of vaccination -

but, while Jenner is revered, Sutton has been vilified for not widely revealing his methods until later in life. Gavin Weightman reclaims Sutton’s

importance, showing how the clinician’s practical and observational discoveries advanced understanding of the nature of disease.
