Daicing) empire. It spread to Chosŏn Korea and TokugawaM Japan largely through lexicographical compilations pro- duced in eighteenth-century Beijing to strengthen its position vis-à-vis the empire’s other languages. Those languages included the northern Chinese vernacular, Mandarin, which was also represented in these lexicographical works but in a position subordinate to the Manchu lan- guage. Korean and Japanese scholars used the Qing books to produce Abstract: The Manchu language studies of the Qing empire emerged in Beijing during the late seventeenth century and spread to Chosŏn Korea and Tokugawa Japan during the eighteenth century. The Qing court sponsored the compilation of multilingual thesauri and thereby created an imperial linguistic order with Manchu at the center and vernacular Chinese, or Mandarin, in a subordinate position. Chosŏn and Tokugawa scholars, by con- trast, usually placed Mandarin—not Manchu, Korean, or Japanese—as the leading lan- guage in the new multilingual thesauri they compiled on the basis of Qing works.

Her suggestion of cosmopolitanism invigorated my exploration of contemporary Japanese society. I would also like to thank my editor Dr. Diana Barnes for helping me to produce the final draft. My sincere thanks go to Maria Zueva at the Learning Centre of the University of New South Wales who supported my writing. I would like to thank the School of Sociology at the University of New South Wales for providing me this opportunity. The university’s excellent library system allowed me to complete my studies from Japan. The Graduate Research School gave generous support to my research while I was overseas.

  • Is There a Long-Term Solution to the Senkaku-Diaoyu Islands Conflict?
    OMNES : The Journal of Multicultural Society 2017, Vol. 7, No. 2, pp. 154-189, http://dx.doi.org/10.15685/omnes.2017.01.7.2.154 ❙Article❙ The Problem with Islands: Is There a Long-term Solution to the Senkaku-Diaoyu Islands Conflict? Emanuel Pastreich Abstract The article traces the history of the Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands and explores the underlying reasons why they have become the site of a political dispute between China and Japan. The paper suggests that islands have a specific ambiguity to them that makes them an easy space on to which to project political power and insecurity. Stress is placed on the changing concepts of geographical space that complicate what might otherwise have been a minor disagreement over islands and suggests how cultural factors have made uninhabited islands into a hot button issue that determines military budgets. The final section of the paper makes concrete suggestions as to how the conflict might be defused through cultural exchange and a broader conception of local issues. The author suggests that efforts to promote codependence and highlight local issues could make a difference because they will bring the focus of attention to the local communities. ❚Keywords:Senkaku Islands, Japanese foreign policy, Okinawa, Daiyu Islands, Pacific Pivot, Okinawa Introduction Much ink has been spilled in the media in the narration of the dispute between Japan and China about the sovereignty of an obscure group of islands known as the Senkaku Islands (or Diaoyu Islands in Chinese). Although there has been much discussion about how this dispute repre- sents the “aggressiveness” of a “rising China,” or the “assertiveness” of a reinvigorated Japan, remarkably little attention has been given to the cultural and historical background of the islands, or the ideological and OMNES : The Journal of Multicultural Society|2017.

    ! OGYŪ SORAI, HUMAN NATURE, AND EDO SOCIETY: THE CHINESE CONTEXT ! ! by ! MINORU TAKANO ! ! ! ! ! ! A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF ! MASTER OF ARTS ! ! in ! ! THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES ! (Asian Studies) ! ! ! THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA ! (Vancouver) ! ! April 2014 ! ! ! ! ! ©Minoru Takano, 2014 Abstract This thesis deals with the prevailing image of Ogyū Sorai 荻生徂徠 (1666-1728) as a pioneer who proposed to read Chinese classics not in the Japanese way of kundoku 訓読 but in its original way, i.e. in the Chinese word order and pronunciation. I challenge the historical accuracy of this image and regard it as a product created mainly by the prominent Japanese Sinologist, Yoshikawa Kōjirō 吉川幸 次郎 (1904-1980). It is well known that Sorai stressed the importance of rites, music, punishments and administration 禮樂刑政 as external forces which transform the internal mind from the outside. I believe that Sorai stressed mastery of literary style rather than mastery of colloquial Chinese as an external thing 物. His belief in practicality which was cultivated by the art of war led Sorai to attempt to realize a world based on a rigid meritocratic hierarchy. Therefore, Sorai proposed to return to the literary styles of the Qin, Han and Tang dynasties whose political situations were highly centralized. This, he believed, would serve to transform the feudalistic hereditary Neo-Confucian Edo state composed of Shogun and Daimyo into a more centralized and meritocratic one through educational policy. In pre-modern China, literature and politics were thought to be connected closely. Previous research, however, had been centered around literary studies focusing on the influence of the Guwenci pai 古文辭派 (Old Phraseology School) upon Sorai’s Kobunji 古文辭 (Ancient Words and Phrases) school.

Within a few weeks, he had put together a proposal for shared courses on-line, for joint research and for other institutional collaboration between University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign and the leading research institutes in East Asia: University of Tokyo, Seoul National University and Peking University. Seeing such an unprecedented approach to on-line learning as a tremendous opportunity, he threw himself into the project. Pastreich had a strong command of the Chinese, Japanese and Korean languages form his training in Asian studies and his personal connections with top administrators and professors at the major universities in China, Japan and Korea allowed him to advance his ideas rapidly. He did not seek any personal financial benefit, and did not seek to promote himself, thus making the process far more easy.
