Latar Belakang Masalah Sastra (Sanskerta: shastra) merupakan kata serapan dari bahasa Sanskerta ‗Sastra‘, yang berarti ―teks yang mengandung instruksi‖ atau ―pedoman‖, dari kata dasar ‗Sas‘ yang berarti ―instruksi‖ atau ―ajaran‖ dan ‗Tra‘ yang berarti ―alat‖ atau ―sarana‖. Dalam bahasa Indonesia kata ini biasa digunakan untuk merujuk kepada ―kesusastraan‖ atau sebuah jenis tulisan yang memiliki arti atau keindahan tertentu. Sangidu dalam Wicaksono (2014:1) menyatakan bahwa sastra adalah bagian dari masyarakat, kenyataan yang demikian mengilhami para pengarang untuk melibatkan dirinya dalam tata kehidupan masyarakat tempat mereka berada dan mencoba memperjuangkan posisi struktur sosial dan permasalahan yang dihadapi di masyarakat. Suatu hasil karya sastra dapat dikatakan memiliki nilai sastra apabila didalamnya terdapat kesepadanan antara bentuk dan isinya. Bentuk bahasanya baik dan indah, dan susunannya beserta isinya dapat menimbulkan perasaan haru dan kagum dihati pembacanya. Karya sastra

Her life, as her memoir shows, was one of misery, privation, and hardship from early childhood. Her parents were not legally married, and they did not register her birth in their family register. Ever since the Meiji Restoration, the government had required each household to have its family members registered at the local government office. A child born out of wedlock often was registered as thechild of the mother’s parents. This was not done for Fumiko until 1912, when shewas registered in her maternal grand-father’s family register as his daughter. A per- son not recorded in any register, vas in effect a nonperson.

  • Introduction
    Introduction The Ohio Japan Project began in the mid-1980’s when Ohio agreed to join with Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin to form The Great Lakes in the Schools Project, funded by the U.S.-Japan Foundation. The members of the project from Ohio developed a series of lessons on Japan. During a trip to Japan in 1988, the Ohio team discussed these lessons with educators in Japan and had them formally critiqued by the International Society for Educational Information, Inc. in Tokyo. The society published a version of the lessons in Japan, while in Ohio they were published as Learning About Our World: Japan. Again with funding form the U.S.-Japan Foundation, the Ohio Japan Project sent a delegation of teachers in Ohio to Japan for two weeks in June-July, 2001. While there, the teachers gathered information to update the lessons previously published and to develop new ones, which reflect more current developments in Japan. Before and during the trip to Japan, the participants spent a great deal of time studying how the Japanese develop lessons that enhance deeper understanding by the students of the concepts to be taught. These lessons reflect the way Japanese teachers construct their lessons to accomplish that deeper level of knowledge and skill development. In this way, students retain the information for a longer period of time, which will help them be more successful on the future state achievement tests and the Ohio Graduation Test. The original publication of lessons identified the connections to the social studies and foreign languages curriculum models.

Publicly Accessible Penn Dissertations. 762. https://repository.upenn.edu/edissertations/762 This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/edissertations/762 For more information, please contact [email protected]. The Female Gaze in Contemporary Japanese Literature Abstract The female gaze can be used by writers and readers to look at narratives from a perspective that sees women as subjects instead of objects. Applying a female gaze to discourses that have traditionally been male-dominated opens new avenues of interpretation that are empowering from a feminist perspective. In this dissertation, I use the murder mystery novels of the bestselling female author Kirino Natsuo and the graphic novels of a prolific four-woman artistic collective called CLAMP to demonstrate how writers are capable of applying a female gaze to the themes of their work and how readers can and have read their work from the perspectives allowed by a female gaze. Kirino Natsuo presents a female perspective on such issues as prostitution, marriage, and equal employment laws in her novels, which are often based on sensationalist news stories. Meanwhile, CLAMP challenges the discourses surrounding the production and consumption of fictional women, especially the young female characters, or shojo, that have become iconic in Japanese popular culture.

  • Miyabe Miyuki's Place in the Development of Japanese
    MIYABE MIYUKI’S PLACE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF JAPANESE MYSTERY FICTION DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Noriko Chino The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Committee: Professor Richard Torrance, Adviser Professor Gabriella Modan Professor William Tyler Approved by ___________________________________ Adviser East Asian Languages and Literatures Graduate Program ABSTRACT This study examines the mystery fiction of Miyabe Miyuki (b. 1960) in the context of the development of mystery fiction in Japan. In the hands of Matsumoto Seichō, Japanese mystery fiction was transformed in the postwar period: the focus of mystery fiction shifted from the puzzle-solving schema to uncovering the motives and psychology of the criminals. Miyabe Miyuki has become a master of the techniques of the genre. But she deploys them for broader purposes other than entertainment. The extraordinary popularity of Miyabe’s fiction is surely due to the fact that it teaches us how to respond to, or at least think about, a chaotic world full of deception. In this sense, it represents the best of what Japanese mystery fiction has had to offer in the postwar period. Miyabe incorporates mixed genres in her mystery fiction, but her overriding concern has been the realistic depiction of her contemporary society and the social problems it faces. In this sense, she has inherited the mantle of Matsumoto Seichō. Indeed, as Japanese fiction has become more interior and consumer oriented or, much in line with what critics have called postmodernism – Miyabe’s brand of mystery fiction can be seen as the inheritor of Japan’s distinguished tradition of realism from naturalism to social realism.
