    “Among college-age youth (20–24 years) in the United States, suicide is the third leading cause of death.”1 Our youth today struggle with emotional and mental issues which are sometimes manifested in self-destructive behaviors or even attempts at suicide. Thus, I believe the Spanish film “Mar Adentro” (The Sea Inside) is powerful and relevant to our college-aged students. It relates the true story of Ramón Sampedro who is paralyzed in a diving accident and spends the next twenty-nine years of his life fighting for the legal right to carry out an assisted suicide. He loses the legal battle, but does find someone to help him end his life. He sips potassium cyanide from a straw as this person films his death. This event, which occurs in Galicia, Spain in 1998, sparks a national debate in Spain about the legality and justification of euthanasia, assisted suicide, and suicide in general. In the aftermath of Sampedro’s death, the filming of which was exposed to the public, his suicide assistant (a close female friend) is arrested, then released, and a popular campaign erupts in Spain with many claiming to be “the one” who helped him die. Even politicians show their support for his decision by signing a document stating they helped Sampedro to die.2 I use this film in a 300-level course called “Hispanic Culture through the Media Arts”. One of my objectives in the course is to begin to develop the skill of comprehending a wide variety of topics in films. This movie certainly helps in that regard.

  • Imōto-Moe: Sexualized Relationships Between Brothers and Sisters in Japanese Animation
    Imōto-Moe: Sexualized Relationships Between Brothers and Sisters in Japanese Animation Tuomas Sibakov Master’s Thesis East Asian Studies Faculty of Humanities University of Helsinki November 2020 Tiedekunta – Fakultet – Faculty Koulutusohjelma – Utbildningsprogram – Degree Programme Faculty of Humanities East Asian Studies Opintosuunta – Studieinriktning – Study Track East Asian Studies Tekijä – Författare – Author Tuomas Valtteri Sibakov Työn nimi – Arbetets titel – Title Imōto-Moe: Sexualized Relationships Between Brothers and Sisters in Japanese Animation Työn laji – Arbetets art – Level Aika – Datum – Month and Sivumäärä– Sidoantal – Number of pages Master’s Thesis year 83 November 2020 Tiivistelmä – Referat – Abstract In this work I examine how imōto-moe, a recent trend in Japanese animation and manga in which incestual connotations and relationships between brothers and sisters is shown, contributes to the sexualization of girls in the Japanese society. This is done by analysing four different series from 2010s, in which incest is a major theme. The analysis is done using visual analysis. The study concludes that although the series can show sexualization of drawn underage girls, reading the works as if they would posit either real or fictional little sisters as sexual targets. Instead, the analysis suggests that following the narrative, the works should be read as fictional underage girls expressing a pure feelings and sexuality, unspoiled by adult corruption. To understand moe, it is necessary to understand the history of Japanese animation. Much of the genres, themes and styles in manga and anime are due to Tezuka Osamu, the “god of manga” and “god of animation”. From the 1950s, Tezuka was influenced by Disney and other western animators at the time.

Uma leitura bioética do filme Mar Adentro Léo Pessini Resumo: Este artigo analisa o tema da morte assistida a partir de questionamentos levantados na película espanhola Mar Adentro (2004), do cineasta Alejandro Almenabar, sobre o drama do jovem marinheiro espanhol Ramon Sampedro. Além de comover platéias no mundo inteiro, o filme trouxe a público uma série de questionamentos éticos sobre a vida e a morte, dentre as quais destacam-se: qual o valor da vida humana quando marcada por deficiências que tolhem a liberdade e a autonomia? O que fazer quando não se encontra mais motivos para viver? Continuar a viver tentando ressignificar a vida seria possível ou a opção pelo suicídio assistido seria desejável como o fez Ramon Sampedro? Longe de assumir uma postura de juízes, mesmo discordando da solução final, este artigo argumenta pelo direito ao respeito ao qual todo ser humano faz jus. Palavras-chave: Morte. Eutanásia. Distanásia. Respeito. Autonomia. Liberdade. No início de 2005, dois filmes fizeram grande sucesso de crítica e público: Menina de Ouro, produção estadu- nidense, e Mar Adentro, filme espanhol, produzido por Alejandro Amenábar.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Preface Considering the indirect linkage between public opinion, as reflected in the press, and government policy, in particular in the foreign policy sphere where the government is at its most secretive, it is not surprising that very little research into their inter-relationship has been carried out. It is easy to understand, therefore, that this situation applies with regard to pre-War Japan which had a more authoritarian tradition than most Western nations. Even the Japanese press, however, had a role to play in the formation of government policy and its attitude at times did have serious implications for foreign policy and diplomacy. In this sense, the decline of the Japanese press as an Opposition force between 1927 and 1933, which is the subject of this study, is significant.

    Virtual Child Pornography, Human Trafficking and Japanese Law: Pop Culture, Harm and Legal Restrains∗∗ 1. Introduction This paper addresses whether virtual child pornography, that is, fictitious depictions of child-like characters in erotic comics, games or animation, could fall under the definition of human trafficking and be criminally banned in Japan. If that is the case, this paper seeks to answer under what circumstances could virtual child pornography (also known as lolicon) be criminally prohibited in Japan without breaching other legally protected rights such as freedom of expression. For this purpose, there is a brief overview of human trafficking based on international law and an analysis of how Japanese law regulates child pornography and obscenity. After, there is a literature overview on whether virtual child pornography could indeed cause any harm and whether international law establishes a clear prohibition of digital images of minors engaging in sexual practices. Finally, this paper addresses whether virtual child pornography could be prohibited in Japan in ways that it could be framed as human trafficking. The importance of naming certain criminal actions as human trafficking is threefold. First, it might provide further reasons for more severe criminal sentences. Second, it can send a message to the world that Japan is seriously addressing the global problem of human trafficking. Finally, labelling certain actions as human trafficking can foster domestic debates on trafficking and ways to protect victims and punish criminals. The conclusion is that Japan could follow the United State’s approach criminalizing virtual child pornography when images are indistinguishable from real children. Japan couldgo further and criminalize the production, distribution, and possession of these kind of realistic images as human trafficking.
