  • The Literature of Kita Morio DISSERTATION Presented In
    Insignificance Given Meaning: The Literature of Kita Morio DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Masako Inamoto Graduate Program in East Asian Languages and Literatures The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Professor Richard Edgar Torrance Professor Naomi Fukumori Professor Shelley Fenno Quinn Copyright by Masako Inamoto 2010 Abstract Kita Morio (1927-), also known as his literary persona Dokutoru Manbô, is one of the most popular and prolific postwar writers in Japan. He is also one of the few Japanese writers who have simultaneously and successfully produced humorous, comical fiction and essays as well as serious literary works. He has worked in a variety of genres. For example, The House of Nire (Nireke no hitobito), his most prominent work, is a long family saga informed by history and Dr. Manbô at Sea (Dokutoru Manbô kôkaiki) is a humorous travelogue. He has also produced in other genres such as children‟s stories and science fiction. This study provides an introduction to Kita Morio‟s fiction and essays, in particular, his versatile writing styles. Also, through the examination of Kita‟s representative works in each genre, the study examines some overarching traits in his writing. For this reason, I have approached his large body of works by according a chapter to each genre. Chapter one provides a biographical overview of Kita Morio‟s life up to the present. The chapter also gives a brief biographical sketch of Kita‟s father, Saitô Mokichi (1882-1953), who is one of the most prominent tanka poets in modern times.

Behind the infectious beat, inroads had been made overseas as early as spring 1963, when Mr. Gordy, along with Motown executives Esther Gordy Edwards and Barney Ales, made unprecedented sales visits to Italy, Germany, Belgium, Holland, France, Norway, Sweden and England. Two years later EMI U.K. created the Tamla Motown imprint, an international umbrella for the company’s multi-label output.

Some of Ingram's hit songs included "Just Once," "Yah Mo B There;" he also co- wrote Michael Jackson's "P.Y.T." Ingram was interviewed by The HistoryMakers® on September 25, 2007, in Washington, District of Columbia. This collection is comprised of the original video footage of the interview. Identification: A2007_272 Language: The interview and records are in English.

Ingram was interested in music at an early age and became a self-taught musician, inspired by his musical idol, jazz organist Jimmy Smith.

  • 4. the Superman/Kent Hypothesis: on the Epistemological Limit Between Human and Superhuman
    Page no.57 4. The Superman/Kent hypothesis: On the epistemological limit between human and superhuman. Alexandros Schismenos PhD Scholar Philosophy of Science University of Ioannina Greece ORCID iD: http://orcid.org/0000-0001-8490-4223 E-Mail: [email protected] Abstract Everybody knows that Superman is Clark Kent. Nobody knows that Superman is Clark Kent. Located between these two absolute statements is the epistemological limit that separates the superhero fictitious universe from our universe of causal reality. The superheroic double identity is a secret shared by the superhero and the reader of the comic or the viewer of the movie, and quite often the superhero winks at the outside world, thus breaking the 4th wall and establishing this collusive relationship. However, in our hypothesis, we are interested in Superman not as a fictitious archetype, but rather as a fictitious metaphor. We are not interested in his double identity as the matrix of superheroic attributes and narratives, but rather as the differential limit between superhuman and human within the fictional universe. Because, the reader or the viewer may share the secret identity with Superman and also with Spiderman or Batman or any other superhuman, but the secret equivalence of Superman and Clark Kent contains another hidden antithesis. Keywords Epistemology; Superman; Nostalgia; Ubermensch; Cognition Vol 3 No 1 (2015) ISSUE – March ISSN 2347-6869 (E) & ISSN 2347-2146 (P) The Superman/Kent hypothesis by Alexandros Schismenos Page No. 57-65 Page no.58 The Superman/Kent hypothesis: On the epistemological limit between human and superhuman Everybody knows that Superman is Clark Kent.
