  • Foreign Minister Idrissov
    Time to ban nuclear weapons testing forever BY ERLAN IDRISSOV, MINISTER FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF KAZAKHSTAN The story of Kazakhstan's independence is intricately linked to the banning of nuclear testing and the renunciation of nuclear weapons. On 29 August 1991, Kazakhstan became the first country in the world to close a nuclear test site on its territory. The decision by President Nursultan Nazarbayev to close the Semipalatinsk nuclear test site where the Soviet Union carried out more than 450 nuclear weapon tests was welcomed by the people of Kazakhstan, and helped lead to the country's declaration of independence on 16 December 1991. OUR CLEAR CHOICE would damage, rather than bring, security It is no surprise that the Kazakh When the Soviet Union collapsed in and prestige. people were so strongly supportive of 1991, Kazakhstan inherited the fourth- the decision to shut the Semipalatinsk largest nuclear arsenal in the world: Since its independence, Kazakhstan site.

  • Mother of the Nation: Femininity, Modernity, and Class in the Image of Empress Teimei
    Mother of the Nation: Femininity, Modernity, and Class in the Image of Empress Teimei By ©2016 Alison Miller Submitted to the graduate degree program in the History of Art and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. Maki Kaneko ________________________________ Dr. Sherry Fowler ________________________________ Dr. David Cateforis ________________________________ Dr. John Pultz ________________________________ Dr. Akiko Takeyama Date Defended: April 15, 2016 The Dissertation Committee for Alison Miller certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Mother of the Nation: Femininity, Modernity, and Class in the Image of Empress Teimei ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. Maki Kaneko Date approved: April 15, 2016 ii Abstract This dissertation examines the political significance of the image of the Japanese Empress Teimei (1884-1951) with a focus on issues of gender and class. During the first three decades of the twentieth century, Japanese society underwent significant changes in a short amount of time. After the intense modernizations of the late nineteenth century, the start of the twentieth century witnessed an increase in overseas militarism, turbulent domestic politics, an evolving middle class, and the expansion of roles for women to play outside the home. As such, the early decades of the twentieth century in Japan were a crucial period for the formation of modern ideas about femininity and womanhood. Before, during, and after the rule of her husband Emperor Taishō (1879-1926; r. 1912-1926), Empress Teimei held a highly public role, and was frequently seen in a variety of visual media.
