  • The Blooming of Parody in Edo Culture Yasunori Kojima
    Laughter Connects the Sacred and the Sexual: The Blooming of Parody in Edo Culture Yasunori Kojima (ICU) 1. Introduction This paper takes a look at the full bloom of parody in Edo culture, especially with respect to laughter, which, I believe, serves as a connection between the sacred and the sexual. Historians tend to follow the golden rule: erase yourself and let the documents speak for themselves. So, in a similar manner, I am letting parody speak for itself. Therefore, this paper does not seek to analyze; rather it merely introduces several examples of parody. Nonetheless, these examples speak eloquently on how people during the Edo period enjoyed an immensely rich and playful culture of parody. As an icebreaker, I begin by introducing a comic book by Ishii Hisaichi, titled Gendai shisô no sonansha-tachi (The Shipwrecked Modern Philosophers). This is an excellent work of parody based on the series Gendai shisô no bôkensha-tachi (The Adventurous Modern Philosophers) published by Kodansha, an introductory series focusing on 34 prominent philosophers (Wittgenstein, Kuhn, Whitehead, Benjamin, Bataille, Barthes, Gadamer, Lacan, Foucault, Arendt, and Derrida among others). The point of this parody is that it took philosophy as its target, instead of politics or literature. The essence of often-abstruse modern philosophy is not only compressed within the four boxes of each comic strip, but is titillated, mocked, and even made the subject of laughter. Of course, the basic thought of each philosopher is outlined next to the comic strip; the gags would not make much sense if the reader were totally lacking knowledge about philosophy.

    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 376 5th Annual International Conference on Social Science and Contemporary Humanity Development (SSCHD 2019) Research on the Visual Culture of Guai in China’s Dynasties 1, a, * Sijing Chen 1Department of Information Art & Design, Academy of Arts & Design, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China [email protected] Keywords: Traditional imagery, Chinese imagination, Symbolisation. Abstract. Guai imagery has played a significant role in the definition and development of traditional Chinese visual culture. Throughout history, guai visual products reflected national values, aesthetic appreciation and philosophical aspirations. This research examines the dynastic guai imagery formally and symbolically in the Chinese aesthetic and cultural context. It provides a contribution to the understanding of the inherent values of guai and how the reinterpretation of guai imagery that reflects political, social and cultural values in Chinese visual art. Introduction Guai (怪) in Chinese means literally strange or odd and it is also used to describe monsters or demons. In the early Chinese classical literature, guai referred to unusual or strange phenomena and things [1]. As noted by Li Jianguo, in his research on guai in literature before the Tang Dynasty (618-907 CE), the meaning of guai had gradually changed since the Han Dynasty (202 BCE-220 CE). Li refers to plant, animal or inanimate guai, with visible and fixed images [2]. Japanese scholar Miyoko Nakano, who specialises in Chinese classical literature and Chinese mythology, also confirms that Chinese guai have specific images beyond realistic forms [3]. Here, guai is used to define visual beings originally transformed from images of animals, plants or inorganic objects, rather than from human beings.

    The Lion in Chinese Space and Social Life A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Min-Chia Young Faculty of the Built Environment The University of New South Wales Sydney, Australia June 2009 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Young First name: Min-Chia Other name/s: Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: Architecture Faculty: The Faculty of the Built Environment Title: The Lion in Chinese Space and Social Life Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) This thesis is a systematic examination from a historical point of view of the rich diversity of forms and images of the lion motif in Chinese space and social life. Drawing on textual, linguistic and archaeological sources, it addresses the fundamental problem inherent in the study of the lion motif in China, that is, why a foreign import was adopted, transformed and assimilated into an existing culture and how it was then widely rendered in various forms and images as though it had been an indigenous image all along. The examination begins with a search for the origins, names for and appearance of the real lion in China and a comparison of this with the images, roles and powers of the ideological lion in the Chinese mind. It proceeds through an investigation into the liking of the ruling class for lions as tomb guardian beasts in their search for a better afterlife. The thesis then focuses on the adoption of the lion motif by ordinary people as a means of approaching the divine and gaining recognition, in the process of which the image of a ferocious beast was gradually transformed into that of a rotund pet.
