Dark-Night And Nameless: Globalization in Murakami’s Kafka on the Shore and The​ Wind-up Bird Chronicle ​ By Tom Herring For the last thirty odd years, Haruki Murakami has been a towering figure on the international literary scene. He has to his name: fourteen novels translated into English, four collections of short stories (and a good handful of short stories which have not been anthologized), and over forty works of nonfiction, including translations of works into Japanese. His first two novels, Hear the Wind Sing and Pinball, 1973, which he wrote basically because he ​ ​ ​ ​ thought he could, are stylistically realist and best characterized by weltschmerz, which in English means angsty world-weariness, a la J.D.

  • Women's Experimental Autobiography from Counterculture Comics to Transmedia Storytelling: Staging Encounters Across Time, Space, and Medium
    Women's Experimental Autobiography from Counterculture Comics to Transmedia Storytelling: Staging Encounters Across Time, Space, and Medium Dissertation Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Ohio State University Alexandra Mary Jenkins, M.A. Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Jared Gardner, Advisor Sean O’Sullivan Robyn Warhol Copyright by Alexandra Mary Jenkins 2014 Abstract Feminist activism in the United States and Europe during the 1960s and 1970s harnessed radical social thought and used innovative expressive forms in order to disrupt the “grand perspective” espoused by men in every field (Adorno 206). Feminist student activists often put their own female bodies on display to disrupt the disembodied “objective” thinking that still seemed to dominate the academy. The philosopher Theodor Adorno responded to one such action, the “bared breasts incident,” carried out by his radical students in Germany in 1969, in an essay, “Marginalia to Theory and Praxis.” In that essay, he defends himself against the students’ claim that he proved his lack of relevance to contemporary students when he failed to respond to the spectacle of their liberated bodies. He acknowledged that the protest movements seemed to offer thoughtful people a way “out of their self-isolation,” but ultimately, to replace philosophy with bodily spectacle would mean to miss the “infinitely progressive aspect of the separation of theory and praxis” (259, 266). Lisa Yun Lee argues that this separation continues to animate contemporary feminist debates, and that it is worth returning to Adorno’s reasoning, if we wish to understand women’s particular modes of theoretical ii insight in conversation with “grand perspectives” on cultural theory in the twenty-first century.

  • The True Cost of American Food – Conference Proceedings
    i The True Cost of American Food – Conference proceedings Foreword Patrick Holden Founder and Chief Executive of the Sustainable Food Trust I am delighted to be writing this foreword for the proceedings of our conference. I hope it will be a useful resource for everyone with an interest in food systems externalities and True Cost Accounting; and that should include everyone who eats! The True Cost of American Food Conference brought together more than 600 participants to listen to high quality presentations from a wide range of leading experts, representing farming, food businesses, research and academic organizations, policy makers, NGOs, public health institutions, organizations representing civil society and food justice, the investment community, funding foundations and philanthropists. As an organization which has contributed in a significant way to the development of the conceptual framework for True Cost Accounting in food and farming, we were delighted that the conference attracted such an impressive attendance of leaders from a range of sectors, all actively committed to taking this initiative forward. Looking forward, clearly one of the key challenges is how we can best convey an easy-to- grasp understanding of True Cost Accounting to individual citizens, who have reasonably assumed until now that the price tag on individual food products reflects of the true costs involved in its production. As we have now come to realize, this is often far from the case; in fact it would be no exaggeration to state that the current food pricing system is dishonest, in that it fails to include the hidden impacts of the production system, both negative and positive, on the environment and public health.

  • Murakami Poster
    “ I think that my job is to observe people and the world, and not to judge them. I always hope to position myself away from so-called conclusions. I would like to leave everything wide open to all the possibilities in the world. ---HARUKI MURAKAMI ” BIOGRAPHY Murakami Haruki is a world-famous Japanese writer whose works have been translated into 50 languages and have sold millions of copies worldwide. He only began writing at the age of 29 with no intention to be an author, yet his books and short stories have been best sellers in Japan and many other countries. He is one of the most well-known Japanese writers in the world, but his works are ironically criticized for being “un-Japanese.” Even Murakami himself once said he is “an outcast of the Japanese literary world”. Themes Because of the presence of western music and literature in his early life, Murakami Haruki emulated favorite writers such as F. Scott Fitzgerald, Raymond Chandler, Raymond Carver, and Franz Kafka, implementing their writing styles in his depiction of Japanese society. This unique combination is what makes Murakami Haruki so distinct, and also, what makes him renowned worldwide. --- Janice Yutong Cai Murakami and Music Imagine nestling into a couch with Janacek Sinfonietta playing in the background, while reading 1Q84. Aomame is unknowingly climbing the fence to the other world and the feelings of excitement and adrenaline are pumping in her veins. And just as she reaches the other side, the violins crescendo through the E-flat minor scale, subtly alluding to the setting of mysterious uncharted territories and questionable decisions of strange characters.

This paper, however, focuses on the concept of the ‘other’ and the ‘odd’ in the light of magical realism and how the characters which are generally side-lined by society on the basis of their sexual preference, mental capability, physical deformity, gender fluidity and age find a clear and distinct voice in these fictions. Haruki Murakami’s novel Kafka on the Shore is taken up for this study. The unique blend of surrealism (the progenitor genre) with magical realism (the offspring mode) in the novel creates an oneiric landscape which is still very much rooted in reality, in present day Japan. The paper concentrates on the trauma of certain characters and how their exclusion from society leads to their subsequent recovery.

  • Environmental Issues Research for English 120
    Nancy McEnery, Reference Librarian Napa Valley College Environmental Issues Research for English 120 The library is a great place to start your research for environmental issues because we have both print and digital sources of information. While there are many good sources of information freely available on the Web, oftentimes, the better sources of information require a subscription (to provide access to full-text articles). Napa Valley College Library has some great online databases that are available to you as a student and community member (all you need is a SNAP library card for off-campus access – see page 3). Typical Research Flow It is important to use a variety of information sources when conducting research. One approach is to start with print sources and work your way toward online information. You do not absolutely have to follow this sequence, but it helps to make sure you are covering all types of information available to you. Reference Books Circulating Books Articles from Online Databases The Web Associations 1 REFERENCE BOOKS Reference books provide general background information (facts, definitions, dates, details), assistance in focusing your topic, quick access to important factual and statistical information, and references to other sources of information. It is therefore a good place to begin your research. Subject-Specific Encyclopedia Examples Napa Valley College has the following subject-specific encyclopedias: Encyclopedia of Animal Rights and Animal Welfare. Marc Bekoff, ed.
