Jóhannesdóttir Supervisor Kristín Ingvarsdóttir May 2021 FACULTY OF LANGUAGES AND CULTURES Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Japanskt Mál og Menning An Overview of Stereotyped Portrayals of LGBT+ People in Japanese Fiction and Literature Analysis of the historical evolution and commercialization of BL and yuri genres, and social practice of its consumer culture Ritgerð til BA-prófs 10 ECTS Bára B.S. Jóhannesdóttir Kt.: 210496-2039 Leiðbeinandi: Kristín Ingvarsdóttir Maí 2021 1 Abstract This essay will explore the history of the portrayal of LGBT+ people in Japanese fiction, starting from The Tale of Genji, a novel from the early 11th century that is widely considered to be the first classic in history, and to the proper establishment of what is known as the BL (boys’ love) and yuri genres. BL, as the name suggests, is a genre that features the relationship between two male characters, usually in a romantic and/or sexual nature, while yuri is between two female characters. There will be a short examination of LGBT+ portrayal in historical literary works and art before moving onto a more detailed recounting of modern fiction and television. Some ancient literature will be reviewed, comparing real-life societal norms to their fictional counterparts. The focus will mainly be on the introduction of the BL genre, the historical evolution of it, the commercial start of it, the main components that make up the genre, and why it is as popular as it is, a well as an examination of the culture surrounding the fans of the genre.

  • Ukemi in Aikido
    Edinburgh Aikido Ukemi in Aikido The word uke in Japanese translates as “to receive” which is at odds with many people’s assumption that taking ukemi primarily involves acting out the losing role of an attacker. “Receiving the technique” evokes a more active and collaborative role for uke within the kata execution, where the attack and subsequent breakfall are used as a learning experience1 for both tori and uke. Those that train in aikido will quickly realize that half of their time training is spent receiving the aikido techniques and taking ukemi. When we first start aikido training, it is while being uke that we feel stiff and clumsy. Later as we progress in aikido, it is often while working with a good uke – one who is able to adapt their movements to maintain a feeling of connection and lightness throughout the technique – that we often improve our understanding of the aikido techniques. When watching aikido, it will often be a good uke that gives the movements the dynamism and flair that characterize a good aikido demonstration. With so much of our training time on the tatami taken up carrying out the role of uke, it is important that this aspect of training is also developed as a learning tool. However, in many dojos around the world, it is still very common to see a practice where the emphasis on ukemi is very small or, in some cases, completely absent. There are several good reasons to work hard to improve our ukemi. First and foremost, ukemi abilities are developed so we are able to safely receive the locks and throws seen in aikido.

  • Good Uke, Bad Uke
    Good Uke, Bad Uke Troy Shehorn To Uke or not to Uke? That is the question. When we use the Japanese word Uke a few common thoughts come to mind. The word has several meanings, depending on the Kanji and how it is used. The most common meaning to us would be a person on whom an art is being done, and that is the subject of this article. Being in the martial arts realm for a while now, I have heard the terms “Uke arts” and “Ukeing”. We hear lines such as “Who is your Uke?” and “Are you going to Uke?” And “We need Ukes.” When we go to the dojo we like working out with our favorite Uke. When we test, we always pick the Uke who will “be just right for me”. This Uke will almost always be our size and hopefully weighs a bit or a whole lot less, than we do. I have also heard and seen Ukes than can make or break an art or an exam, for that matter. There seems to be a fine line between what an Uke should do so Tori can properly demonstrate an art and what extremes Uke may go to so Tori “looks good.” In a classroom or clinic, when instructors demonstrate an art, they often call out their favorite Uke, one that goes flying across the room and/or pats out like a wild screaming set of Taiko drums. After all, they want to look good. I have seen a few times when an instructor demonstrates an art “perfectly” and tells the students to practice, then none of the students can do the art or they just go along with the phony motions knowing it’s not working as specified.

  • How to Enhance Effectiveness of Direct Attack Judo Throws
    Attilio Sacripanti How to enhance effectiveness of Direct Attack Judo throws “Dr. Kano’s dream : Judo rotational application” Abstract In this paper it is performed an appraisal of the Olympic Sport “Judo” effectiveness in the optics of Biomechanics, that is the Dr Kano’s dream the rotational application of judo. Kano wasn’t able to develop his dream due to his premature death, but the biomechanical analysis is able to broaden the narrow translational vision of judo that is transmitted us by Kano’s disciples. Really speaking some learned followers of Dr. Kano like Kiuzo Mifune in Japan and Koizumi in England already had some rotational ideas, but few people appreciated their words. To broaden the classical view biomechanics will use a very special field f experimentation. This field of experimentation is obviously the high level competition in which most of these rotational application can be found applied more or less instinctively by high level Athletes. Considering the two biomechanical tools that are the physical basis of judo throws it is possible to obtain such results from the analysis of high competition application: Lever Techniques are enhanced in their effectiveness in three ways : 1. The rotational movements, strictly connected to the Lever techniques mechanics achieving victory (Ippon) in competition, can be extended to the unbalance phase (Kuzushi) 2. The rotational movements can be applied in a totally new way putting away even the unbalance that is basic in the Lever techniques. 3. The Lever tool can be hybridized with the application of a Couple to lower the energy consumption and to overcome some strong defensive resistance.
