Gender Performativity in Japan
IJMSS Vol.04 Issue-09, (September, 2016) ISSN: 2321-1784 International Journal in Management and Social Science (Impact Factor- 5.276) Gender Performativity in Japan Lin Fan I-Shou University No. 1, Section 1, Xuecheng Rd., Dashu District Kaohsiung City, TAIWAN Abstract This paper explores gender issues Japanese daily life or traditional and contemporary shows. Specifically, it looks at gender politics in a number of performing arts, highlighting ways in which humor constructs the feminine. Like eroticism, humor builds on a fascination with the real ambiguity of gender; and reciprocally gender is sensually and humorously fashioned. Humorous performances arise from the aesthetic disturbance or subversion of historically specific gender prescriptions, just as the child develops role-playing strategies to understand what makes a male and a female body, game or activity before assimilating the gender divisions that prevail in her world. Gender is understood in this paper as a sort of unfinished picture that people have fun crafting. Keywords: humor; gender; performance; Japan.

Effects of the Stanislavski method and Japanese Noh and the conveyance of its themes and ideas…………….........................….....8 III. Conclusion……………………………………………………...………......16 IV. Works Cited………………………………………………………...…........18 Introduction As Amy Cook saliently states in her essay titled, ‘Staging Nothing: ‘Hamlet’ and Cognitive Science’, “in Hamlet, few things are as powerful as nothing. ... The presence of nothing in the text calls attention to what nothing is supposed to stand for” (83). Indeed, the idea of nothing pertains to existential crisis and nihilism: the former is defined as a state of panic or feeling of intense psychological discomfort about questions of existence (Existential-Crisis) and the latter is defined as a viewpoint that traditional values and beliefs are unfounded and that existence is senseless and useless (Nihilism). Shakespeare’s Hamlet explores the psychological processes which Hamlet experiences throughout the play alongside the concept of nothing. In referring to the presence of nothing as “powerful” in her essay, Cook identifies that the existence of nothing asks the audience to imagine and contemplate what their motive and point of life are. The audience is allowed to acknowledge the artistic intention through witnessing the development of Hamlet’s mental state. The tragedy of Hamlet displays Hamlet’s psychological state, which entails Hamlet’s languishment along with existential crisis and nihilism. -

Experiences in Sundanese Wayang Golek of West Java
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE MÓIN-MÓIN provided by Portal de Periódicos UDESC (Universidade do Estado de Santa... 150 Cross cultural research: experiences in sundanese wayang golek of West Java Kathy Foley University of California Santa Cruz (USA) Abstract: Studying the performing art of wayang golek in the late 1970s required learning how to learn a complex art in a local language from village practitioners whose practice did not correspond to the model expounded by the local academic. Language, music, culture, dance, spiritual dimensions, and complex stories needed to be absorbed and became building blocks toward performing this rich art of the Sundanese dalang of West Java. Keywords: Wayang Golek. Sundanese rod puppetry. Dalang. At twenty-three I encountered Sundanese wayang golek, a rod puppet genre of West Java through a summer program financed by a California philanthropist, Samuel Scripps. Enamored of South and Southeast Asian arts, Scripps funded Center for World Music, a summer school program where major Asian artists taught each class. Dalang Rutjita was a village-based carving master from West Java in Indonesia who dazzled us, his five students, with the lifelike dance of his carefully carved figures. He spoke no English, and just a bit of Dutch. Luckily there was a Dutch student s (Klara Braekel) who was fluent in Indonesian and she translated as we worked that summer of l974, scene by scene, through a single lakon (play). We tried to make out puppets emulate the walks specific to each character type (refined, semi-refined, strong, demon). -

Theorizing in Unfamiliar Contexts: New Directions in Translation Studies
Theorizing in Unfamiliar Contexts: New Directions in Translation Studies James Luke Hadley Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia School of Language and Communication Studies April 2014 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution.” 1 ABSTRACT This thesis attempts to offer a reconceptualization of translation analysis. It argues that there is a growing interest in examining translations produced outside the discipline‟s historical field of focus. However, the tools of analysis employed may not have sufficient flexibility to examine translation if it is conceived more broadly. Advocating the use of abductive logic, the thesis infers translators‟ probable understandings of their own actions, and compares these with the reasoning provided by contemporary theories. It finds that it may not be possible to rely on common theories to analyse the work of translators who conceptualize their actions in radically different ways from that traditionally found in translation literature. The thesis exemplifies this issue through the dual examination of Geoffrey Chaucer‟s use of translation in the Canterbury Tales and that of Japanese storytellers in classical Kamigata rakugo. It compares the findings of the discipline‟s most pervasive theories with those gained through an abductive analysis of the same texts, finding that the results produced by the theories are invariably problematic.
