    9-3 and 9-4 It's a Small World

    Units 9-3 and 9-4: It’s a Small World After All Theme Overview: This section of the World History/ English 9 curriculum shifts to various world cultures outside of Western Europe. The investigation of world cultures should allow students to understand various philosophies, religions and governments in order to predict changing social and political climates. Just as we encourage our students to connect with each other and to respect diversity within our school climate, we encourage students to connect to different histories and cultures from around the world. Areas of the world that work especially well for interdisciplinary study include at least four of the following: Africa, India, China, Japan, Latin America, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe. Driving Questions: 1.) Assess how constructions of gender, ethnicity, and religion affect access to power or social mobility. 2.) Compare the commonalities of both sides of the same conflict. 3.) How have religions and philosophies shaped different world cultures and literature? 4.) What can be predicted about conflicts regarding social or political change? 5.) Evaluate how the following universal themes can be connected between different cultures and their literature: a. Nationalism b. Religious Convictions c. Transfer of Power d. Role of Economy e. Impact on the Economy f. Role of Women g. Minorities h. Oppression/Prejudice i. Influence of the Past 6.) Compare, contrast and critique examples of the literature and arts of different cultures. 7.) Develop an argument and provide supporting evidence in a well-developed thesis paper written in MLA format. Materials: Possible core novels and/or primary sources: A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich by Alexander Solzhenitsyn The Analects by Confucius A Passage to India by E.M.

For the last three months, I’ve been able to read and research, write and reflect, and meet a variety of scholars, staff and friends, with the feeling that how one’s life intersects with so many other lives: that, I think, is one’s real autobiography . Happy Valley , Patrick White’s first published novel in 1939, has that as a theme and its epigraph is from Mahatma Gandhi. But more on these men later. In March this year Jyoti and I returned from Fiji after six eventful years. We’d gone there in February 2006, from the ANU and the University of Canberra, to help establish the first University of Fiji. Of course, there was USP, established in 1968, which I joined as one of the first local lecturers in 1969 and resigned to take up a ministry in the Bavadra cabinet in 1987: I resigned on Monday; the Colonel staged his coup on Thursday.

I see Ellison's “American humanism” as a revitalization of the Latin notion of litterae humaniores that draws heavily on Gilded Age American literature and philosophy. For Ellison, American artists and intellectuals of that period were grappling with the country’s primary quandary after the Civil War: an inability to reconcile America’s progressive vision of humanism with the legacy left by chattel slavery and anti-black racism.

No copies of this work may be distributed, electronically or otherwise, in whole or in part, without permission from the author. Black Bottom of Modernity: The Racial Imagination of Japanese Modernism in the 1930s Keiko NITTA* APPROPRIATION OF THE PRIMITIVE In 1930, the eminent Japanese literary critic of the day Soichi Oya summarized “modernism” in terms of its fascination with the element of the “primitive”: Modernism starts with abolishing the traditional norms of various phases of life. Free and unrestricted from everything, and led by the most intense stimulus, it amplifies its own excitement; in this sense, modernism has much in common with primitivism. It is jazz that flows with colorful artificial illumination to the pavements of the modern metropolis, bewitching pedestrians. Such bewitching exemplifies the surrender of civilizations to barbarism.1 As Oya stated here, jazz was symbolized as something not merely primitive but also something indicating a modern taste for “barbarism.” Similar to the contemporaneous American author F. Scott Fitzgerald, who coined the term “the Jazz Age,”2 Japanese intellectuals attempted to establish their own “modernized” status as consumers of art and culture defined as primitive. It *Professor, Rikkyo University 97 98 KEIKO NITTA is to this paradoxical imagination of Japanese modernism that I turn my attention in this article. I will particularly look at creational tendencies of a short-lived but once quite dominant literary circle in Japan in the early 1930s.

    How Has the Nobel Prize Affected the Canonisation of Japanese Literature?

    folk/ed. Derg, 2021; 27(3)-107. sayı DOI: 10.22559/folklor.1781 Derleme makalesi/Compilation article How has the Nobel Prize Affected the Canonisation of Japanese Literature? Nobel Ödülü Japon Edebiyatının Kanonlaştırılmasını Nasıl Etkiledi? Devrim Çetin Güven* Abstract From the 1950s to the 70s Japanese literature became the most widely read non- European literature in translation in the USA and Western Europe, as such eminent writers like Tanizaki, Kawabata, Mishima, and Ōe were discovered in English translation. This discovery encouraged and inspired new translations into other European and non-European languages that rendered Japanese literature popular throughout the planet. From the 1990s onward postmodern writers like Murakami and Yoshimoto rose also to global fame. Interestingly, the common point of all these internationally acclaimed writers is that they all have histories with the Nobel Prize in Geliş tarihi (Received): 23.01.2021 – Kabul tarihi (Accepted): 09.07.2021 * Dr. Öğr.

In this article, we treated the complex relations between Japanese writers and the Nobel Prize, which has become a symbol of cultural universality. We attempted to answer the following question: how have being considered a candidate, being nominated, winning, or losing the prize contributed to the universalisation of these writers? Keywords: Nobel Prize in Literature, Ōe, Tanizaki, Kawabata, Mishima, Murakami Öz Tanizaki, Kavabata, Mişima ve Ōe gibi seçkin yazarların İngilizce tercümede yeniden keşfedilmeleri sayesinde, Japon edebiyatı 1950’lerden 70’lere kadar olan süreçte ABD ve Batı Avrupa’da en çok okunan Avrupa-dışı çeviri edebiyatı olmuştur.

    Newsletter No. 4, July 2016 Dear Diploma Alumna/Us Greetings from London Where the Mood Is Very Sombre Following the Result of the EU Referendum

    Newsletter No. 4, July 2016 Dear Diploma Alumna/us Greetings from London where the mood is very sombre following the result of the EU referendum. It is very hard for those of us who voted to remain in the EU to see the country turning its back on our neighbours and allies and the larger European project. We will have to work harder to maintain connections and contacts. Since the last newsletter in May 2015, another group of ten students has graduated and we welcome them to the Diploma Alumni Group. This brings the number of people who have been awarded the Diploma since 1963 to over 500 (including those who have since died). But this has also been a year of losses. I am sorry to report the death in Japan on November 9, 2015, of Tetsuko Abe Am.S.Dipl ’67, at the age of 82. In addition, two professors who were involved with the Diploma program Daniel Aaron on the steps of Tyler Annex, in its early years have passed away. Smith College, Daniel Aaron died on April 30, 2016, aged 103. He taught May 1999 at Smith, where he was the Mary Augusta Jordan Professor of English, for thirty years from 1939. Having received one of the first doctorates in American Civilization from Harvard in 1943, Dan was among the group of faculty who introduced a pioneering American Studies undergraduate program at Smith, and then led the committee (of which Peter Rose was a junior member) that inaugurated the Diploma in American Studies in 1962.
