  • Western Criticism, Labelling Practice and Self-Orientalised East Asian Films
    Travelling Films: Western Criticism, Labelling Practice and Self-Orientalised East Asian Films Goldsmiths College University of London PhD thesis (Cultural Studies) Ji Yeon Lee Abstract This thesis analyses western criticism, labelling practices and the politics of European international film festivals. In particular, this thesis focuses on the impact of western criticism on East Asian films as they attempt to travel to the west and when they travel back to their home countries. This thesis draws on the critical arguments by Edward Said's Orientalism: Western Conceptions of the Orient (1978) and self-Orientalism, as articulated by Rey Chow, which is developed upon Mary Louise Pratt's conceptual tools such as 'contact zone' and 'autoethnography'. This thesis deals with three East Asian directors: Kitano Takeshi (Japanese director), Zhang Yimou (Chinese director) and 1m Kwon-Taek (Korean director). Dealing with Japanese, Chinese and Korean cinema is designed to show different historical and cultural configurations in which each cinema draws western attention. This thesis also illuminates different ways each cinema is appropriated and articulated in the west. This thesis scrutinises how three directors from the region have responded to this Orientalist discourse and investigates the unequal power relationship that controls the international circulation of films. Each director's response largely depends on the particular national and historical contexts of each country and each national cinema. The processes that characterise films' travelling are interrelated: the western conception of Japanese, Chinese or Korean cinema draws upon western Orientalism, but is at the same time corroborated by directors' responses. Through self-Orientalism, these directors, as 'Orientals', participate in forming and confirming the premises of western Orientalism.

  • Implementing English Education Policy in Japan: Intersubjectivity at the Micro-, Meso-, and Macrolevels
    Implementing English Education Policy in Japan: Intersubjectivity at the Micro-, Meso-, and Macrolevels Sunao Fukunaga A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2016 Reading Committee: Sandra Silberstein, Chair Suhanthie Motha James Tollefson Program Authorized to Offer Degree: English © Copyright 2016 Sunao Fukunaga University of Washington Abstract Implementing English Education Policy in Japan: Intersubjectivity at the Micro-, Meso-, and Macrolevels Sunao Fukunaga Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Sandra Silberstein Department of English English education in Japan has been stigmatized by a discourse of failure and desire (Seargeant, 2008). It fails to help students attain sufficient English proficiency despite the six- year secondary school English education. The inferior discourse has condemned teachers’ inability to teach communicative English. Yet, English is desired more than ever for access to new knowledge and the global market. Responding to the situation, the 8th version of national English education policy, the Courses of Study, went into effect in April 2013, proclaiming English as a medium of instruction in senior high school English classes. Research (Hashimoto, 2009; Kawai, 2007) finds the conflation of contesting ideologies make the macro-level policy not as straightforward as it sounds. An overt goal is to improve students’ intercultural communicative competence; another covert goal is to promote to the world what Japan as a nation is and its citizens’ ethnic and cultural identity in English (Hashimoto, 2013). Although studies elucidated the ideologies inscribed in the policy, few have examined teachers’ lives: the agents implementing the language policy at the micro-level.

  • Tennessee Symbols and Honors
    514 TENNESSEE BLUE BOOK Tennessee Symbols And Honors Official Seal of the State Even before Tennessee achieved statehood efforts were made by local govern- mental organizations to procure official seals. Reliable historians have assumed that as early as 1772 the Articles of the Agreement of the Watauga Association authorized the use of a seal. The Legislature of the state of Franklin, by an official act, provided “for procuring a Great Seal for this State,” and there is also evidence that a seal was intended for the Territory South of the River Ohio. The secretary of that territory requested the assistance of Thomas Jefferson in March, 1792, in “suggesting a proper device” for a seal. There is no direct evidence, however, that a seal was ever made for any of these predecessors of Tennessee. When Tennessee became a state, the Constitution of 1796 made provision for the preparation of a seal. Each subsequent constitution made similar provisions and always in the same words as the first. This provision is (Constitution of 1796, Article II, Section 15; Constitution of 1835, Article III, Section 15; Constitution of 1870, Article III, Section 15) as follows: There shall be a seal of this state, which shall be kept by the governor, and used by him officially, and shall be called “The Great Seal of the State of Tennessee.” In spite of the provision of the Constitution of 1796, apparently no action was taken until September 25, 1801. On that date committees made up of members from both the Senate and the House of Representatives were appointed.

  • Settler Colonialism and Carceral Occupation of the Jordan River
    RETELLING NARRATIVES OF ECO-MEMORY: SETTLER COLONIALISM AND CARCERAL OCCUPATION OF THE JORDAN RIVER By Megan Rose Awwad A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Humboldt State University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Social Science: Environment and Community Committee Membership Dr. Cutcha Risling Baldy, Committee Chair Dr. Janelle Adsit, Committee Member Dr. Nicholas Perdue Committee Member Dr. Rosamel Benavides-Garb, Graduate Program Coordinator December 2020 ABSTRACT RETELLING NARRATIVES OF ECO-MEMORY: SETTLER COLONIALISM AND CARCERAL OCCUPATION OF THE JORDAN RIVER Megan Awwad In this thesis, I retell and reclaim stories that have been shared and passed down within my family and family history in relation to our homeland, Palestine, and more specifically to the Jordan River. I argue that the construction of the dam in the 1960s on the Jordan River, by a zionist state, is an extension of both the settler colonial state and the treatment of the land/rivers as inherently linked with the treatment of Indigenous people. The carceral spaces and geographies settler states create are part of both the destruction of the land and the genocide Indigenous people experience. The Jordan River is a sacred site that was once a natural border and has now become a militarized border. As the colonization of the River takes place, the stories, and memories shift. The river becomes an important examination of settler colonialism and the expansion of a Zionist state and occupation of Palestine. Migration between Jordan and Palestine was a part of Indigenous Palestinians and Jordanians daily experiences prior to existences of modern states.

Talking Heads Stop Making Sense Blu-ray Darryl Morden Celebrated as one of the greatest Music Editor concert films of all time (alongside Family Editor movies such as The Last Waltz ), Stop Making Sense captivates again in this 25h anniversary Blu-ray release. Director Jonathan Demme created a sense of intimacy and greater scope, and frontman David Byrne was never more dynamic in a set that’s a best-of up for the band, including the definitive “Burning Down the House,” a gripping “Life During Wartime,” a swirlin’ “Once in a Lifetime,” the herky-jerky bop of “Girlfriend Is Better,” and the group’s liquid rendition of Al Green’s “Take Me To The River.” Bonus material here includes press conference; bonus tracks “Cities,” “Big Business” and the rhythmic “I Zimbra”; band and Demme commentary; and storyboards. Plus, there’s an option for various audio mixes. Five stars and more for this one. Jethro Tull Living With the Past DVD + CD Reissuing the decade-old video and album as a DVD and CD combo, Living With the Past is a warts- and-all look back at some Jethro Tull history, contrasted by what was then the current band line-up in concert. Of course, you’ll find the forever-staples “Aqualung” and “Locomotive Breath,” as well as a slice of “Thick as Brick” and the Bach variation of “Bouree.” But some of the best numbers include less-famous songs, such as “Roots to Branches” or “Jack in the Green.” There’s a reunion of the original Tull quartet line-up from 1968 that’s loose and good-natured, plus they play “My Sunday Feeling” together.

Department of Social Sciences ii Abstract This dissertation discusses living experiences and stories of urban Ainu youth, Indigenous people of Japan in the twenty-first century. I have weaved my own experiences as a Tokyo Ainu into the discussion in order to illustrate forms of Ainu cultural revitalization in cities. In the thesis, I ask: What attributes in cities facilitate the process of Ainu cultural revitalization? I was born in Tomakomai, Hokkaido, dwelling in both cities and in the small community of Nibutani i, Hokkaido where I spent all my school holidays with my grandparents and cousins. Though I was often surrounded by Ainu culture and its environment in Hokkaido, I was mainly raised within the context of Wajinii culture until my early twenties, when I was introduced to the Tokyo Ainu community. I cherish my experiences in the Tokyo Ainu community and Nibutani, which constitutes who I am today. From the Nibutani community, all the memories of smell and taste from wet rice fields, the forest, the rivers, the salmon, the delicious water I tasted in the mountain, and the Ainu dance I danced together with locals, are embedded in my body.
