In this programme you will find a concise guide to the conference, its venues and Lisbon, which we hope you will find helpful. Using this programme The Practical information and Local information chapters will aid you with the practicalities of attending the conference, including tips on how to use this book, how to navigate the conference venue and Lisbon. The general Timetable on the inside front cover gives a quick overview of when receptions, panel sessions, keynotes and other events are taking place. The Events section (ordered chronologically) gives details of the activities taking place during the conference besides the panel sessions, including keynotes, meetings, receptions and the conference dinner. You will find the map showing the various venues we are using on the back cover of the book. The full academic programme, combined with the events, is detailed in the Daily timetable section. This shows what is happening and where, at any given moment, in chronological sequence. More information can be found in the Thematic sections, panel and paper abstracts section, which lists panel and paper abstracts divided according to thematic sections and then ordered by panel reference numbers – S4b_02, S5a_06, etc. At the rear of the book there is a List of convenors, discussants and presenters to help you identify the panels in which particular colleagues will convene/discuss/present their work. Following this index are the Publisher advertisements. If you need any help interpreting the information in the conference book, please ask a member of the conference team at the reception desk. Timing of panels and individual papers The conference is organised into thematic sections: S1: Urban, Regional and Environmental Studies S2: Language and Linguistics S3a: Modern Literature S3b: Pre-modern Literature S4a: Visual Arts S4b: Performing Arts S5a: Anthropology and Sociology S5b: Media Studies S6: Economics, Business and Political Economy S7: History S8a: Religion and Religious Thought 5 Practical information S8b: Intellectual History and Philosophy S9: Politics and International Relations S10: Japanese Language Education Panels have been allocated one ninety-minute session (although there are two panels in Section 7 which run for two contiguous sessions). A session generally contains three paper presentations (occasionally two or four). We are using 28 panel rooms at a time, so any one panel is up against a large number of alternatives. The panel times are shown in the Thematic sections, panel and paper abstracts section and in the Daily timetable. EAJS2017 conference venues The conference takes place at the Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas of the Universidade NOVA de Lisboa (Av. de Berna 26-C, 1069-061 Lisboa). Centred around the large courtyard, where we’ll have catering distribution, we are using four buildings on the campus: Torre (Tower) A, Torre B, Bloco (Block) 1 and I&D. The book exhibit will be in the foot of Torre B. The welcome remarks and the keynote lecture by Momoko Nakamura take place at the Cinema São Jorge (Av. da Liberdade 175, 1250-001 Lisboa). To get there from the main venue you need to walk to São Sebastião metro (10 mins), take the Blue line and ride three stops in the direction of Santa Apolónia, getting off at the Avenida stop (4 mins). The cinema is by the station. The welcome reception, which follows the keynote, takes place in the cloisters of the Museu Nacional de Historia Natural e Ciência (Rua da Escola Politécnica 56, 1250-096 Lisboa). This is a short walk up the hill behind the cinema (12 mins). The EAJS AGM on the final day takes place at the Gulbenkian Foundation, just across the road from the main venue. Catering The conference registration fee includes lunch and refreshment breaks. Refreshment breaks (coffee, tea and pastries) are provided on all conference days (except for the opening day) at 10:30-11:00 and 15:30-16:00. The distribution points are located in both the main courtyard and the space between I&D and Torre A. Lunch is served from 12:30 to 14:00 on Thursday to Saturday from these same distribution points. There is some seating available in the base of Torre B (right side); otherwise we recommend taking your lunch bag and visiting the gardens of the Gulbenkian Foundation, just across the road. The conference dinner (not included in the registration fee, but purchased in advance as an optional extra) takes place on Friday night (starting at 20:00) at Pátio da Galé (Praça do Comércio, 1100 Lisboa). To reach Pátio da Galé from the main venue, walk to São Sebastião metro (10 mins), go five stops on the metro’s Blue line in the direction of Santa Apolónia

ABSTRACT Science and technology have been paramount features of any modernized nation. In Japan they played an important role in the modernization and militarization of the nation, as well as its democratization and subsequent economic growth. Science and technology highlight the promises of a better tomorrow and future utopia, but their application can also present ethical issues. In fiction, they have historically played a significant role. Fictions of science continue to exert power via important multimedia platforms for considerations of the role of science and technology in our world. And, because of their importance for the development, ideologies and policies of any nation, these considerations can be correlated with the deliberation of the role of a nation in the world, including its internal and external images and imaginings.

AN IMPERIAL HOUSEHOLD’S STRATEGY TO SAVE EMPEROR HIROHITO IN MACARTHUR’S JAPAN Kaoru Hoshino, M.A. University of Pittsburgh, 2010 This thesis examines the motives behind the Japanese imperial household’s decision to invite an American Christian woman, Elizabeth Gray Vining, to the court as tutor to Crown Prince Akihito about one year after the Allied Occupation of Japan began. In the past, the common narrative of scholars and the media has been that the new tutor, Vining, came to the imperial household at the invitation of Emperor Hirohito, who personally asked George Stoddard, head of the United States Education Mission to Japan, to find a tutor for the crown prince. While it may have been true that the emperor directly spoke to Stoddard regarding the need of a new tutor for the prince, the claim that the emperor came up with such a proposal entirely on his own is debatable given his lack of decision-making power, as well as the circumstances surrounding him and the imperial institution at the time of the Occupation.

  • Not Falling, Not Obscuring: Dogen and the Two Truths of the Fox Koan
    NOT FALLING, NOT OBSCURING: DOGEN AND THE TWO TRUTHS OF THE FOX KOAN ________________________________________________________________________ A Thesis Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board ________________________________________________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS ________________________________________________________________________ By Patrick H. Wyant January, 2013 Thesis Approvals: Shigenori Nagatomo, Thesis Advisor, Religion Marcus Bingenheimer, Religion ABSTRACT Within recent Japanese Buddhist scholarship there is a debate over the interpretation of Karmic causality evidenced in the 75 and 12 fascicle editions of Dōgen‟s Shōbōgenzō, one salient example being that found in the daishugyō and shinjin inga fascicles on the fox kōan from the mumonkon. At issue is whether a Buddhist of great cultivation transcends karmic causality, with the earlier daishugyō promoting a balanced perspective of both “not falling into” and “not obscuring” causality, while shinjin inga instead strongly favors the latter over the former. Traditionalists interpret the apparent reversal in shinjin inga as an introductory simplification to aid novices, while some Critical Buddhists see Dōgen as instead returning to the orthodox truth of universal causality. I argue that Dōgen philosophically favored the view found in daishugyō, but moved away from it in his later teachings due to misinterpretations made by both senior and novice monks alike. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT .......................................................................................................................
