MCGRATH Faculty of Foreign Studies Nagoya Gakuin University Abstract Critics agree that Joy Kogawa’s Obasan is a work charged with a powerful spirituality. This paper attempts to analyze that spirituality by identifying elements of Christian Incarnational theology as well as Shinto materiality. An understanding of Kogawa’s unique blending of these elements helps the reader to understand the protagonist Naomi’s moments of enlightenment in the final pages of the novel. Keywords: Kogawa, Obasan, Incarnational theology, Shintoism, materiality, Japanese Canadian history Joy KogawaのObasanにおける Anglican Incarnationalismと神道の物象主義 ポール D. マグラス 名古屋学院大学外国語学部 発行日 2015年3月31日 ― 33 ― 名古屋学院大学論集 Joy Kogawa’s first novel, Obasan (1981), deals with the painful dispersal of the Japanese Canadian population of British Columbia into the interior of Canada during World War II. It sets the story of one young girl, Naomi, against the larger picture of the community’s dispersal. Naomi’s story is particularly painful because it involves her permanent separation from her mother, who had traveled to Japan just before the evacuation emergency brought on by Pearl Harbor. -

FEVER DREAMS / / Interview with Andy Fabo
FEVER DREAMS / / Interview with Andy Fabo In a 1981 essay published in October, Benjamin Buchloh described contemporary artists engaged in figuration as “ciphers of regression,” artists whose practices represented a step backwards in the forward march of artistic progress. This prominent art historian, born in Germany and working now as a professor at Harvard, was employed at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (NSCAD) when he wrote this essay, appointed head of the university press between 1978 and 1983.i Buchloh was in part reacting to the extreme heat of the neo-Expressionist market of the late 1970s and ‘80s, which in many ways mirrored the excesses of Wall Street at the time; New York Times critic Roberta Smith reflects that “The Neo-Expressionists were an instant hit. The phrases ‘art star’ ‘sellout show’ and ‘waiting list’ gained wide usage, sometimes linked to artists you’d barely heard of.”ii Buchloh, like Clement Greenberg had for the modernist generation before him, played an outsized role in the nascent post-modern scene in Canada. However, unlike Greenberg, the rapidly expanding field of artistic production in Canada prevented him from playing the singular role that Greenberg had during his time. Simply put, the proliferation of university studio programs and the coalescing of artistic communities in various urban centres allowed for a multiplicity of practices that had not existed in Canada prior to the 1970s. Fever Dreams, which presents figurative works drawn from the Permanent Collection of the MacLaren Art Centre and dating from 1978 to 2000, highlights a seismic shift from a virtually monolithic focus on abstraction at mid-century to the more pluralistic artistic practices of the latter quarter of the twentieth century. -

American Book Awards 2004
BEFORE COLUMBUS FOUNDATION PRESENTS THE AMERICAN BOOK AWARDS 2004 America was intended to be a place where freedom from discrimination was the means by which equality was achieved. Today, American culture THE is the most diverse ever on the face of this earth. Recognizing literary excel- lence demands a panoramic perspective. A narrow view strictly to the mainstream ignores all the tributaries that feed it. American literature is AMERICAN not one tradition but all traditions. From those who have been here for thousands of years to the most recent immigrants, we are all contributing to American culture. We are all being translated into a new language. BOOK Everyone should know by now that Columbus did not “discover” America. Rather, we are all still discovering America—and we must continue to do AWARDS so. The Before Columbus Foundation was founded in 1976 as a nonprofit educational and service organization dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of contemporary American multicultural literature. The goals of BCF are to provide recognition and a wider audience for the wealth of cultural and ethnic diversity that constitutes American writing. BCF has always employed the term “multicultural” not as a description of an aspect of American literature, but as a definition of all American litera- ture. BCF believes that the ingredients of America’s so-called “melting pot” are not only distinct, but integral to the unique constitution of American Culture—the whole comprises the parts. In 1978, the Board of Directors of BCF (authors, editors, and publishers representing the multicultural diversity of American Literature) decided that one of its programs should be a book award that would, for the first time, respect and honor excellence in American literature without restric- tion or bias with regard to race, sex, creed, cultural origin, size of press or ad budget, or even genre. -
