    EASC Newsletter: October 2006 EASC Newsletter: October 2006 A Letter from the Director Heidi Ross Dear Friends and Colleagues, Remember summer? (Relatively) uninterrupted days dedicated to research, special training programs, travel, writing, renewal? At the mid-point of the semester, those days seem like distant memories. Nevertheless, let me take a moment to celebrate with you once again the happy news we received in July when EASC, with our consortium partner University of Illinois Urbana- Champaign’s Center for East Asian and Pacific Studies (EAPS), received Title VI funding to become one of 17 U.S. National Resource Centers for the study of East Asia. As a member of this impressive nationwide group, our consortium brings together 140 faculty specialists in East Asia, making us a Midwest powerhouse. In addition to supporting outreach activities and cross-campus teaching, our joint projects include language pedagogy workshops; national dissertation workshops on East Asian ethnology, education, sexuality and gender, and culture and society; and summer seminars on transnational and cross-regional cinemas, varieties of capitalism, culture and cognition, and Daoism and folk beliefs in Chinese religion. We are now in the planning stages of a special consortium initiative, Science and Technology in the Pacific Century (STIP), which will bring together East Asian and U.S. scholars, students, and policy makers to consider the impact of science and technology on business and society on both sides of the Pacific. To date, our colloquium series has brought Professor Ted Bestor (Harvard University) to talk about “Global Sushi” and Professor Julia Andrews (Ohio State University) to discuss “Ink Painting in the Art World of Contemporary China.” The Unforgiven, by first-time film director and writer YOON Jong-bin, kicked off this semester’s film series.

    © Lonely Planet 22 Destination Japan Japan is a world apart – a wonderful little planet floating off the coast of mainland China. It is a kind of cultural Galapagos, a place where a unique civilisation was allowed to grow and unfold on its own, unmolested by in- vading powers. And while there has been a lot of input from both Western and Eastern cultures over the millennia, these have always been turned into something distinctly Japanese once they arrived on the archipelago. FAST FACTS Even today, the world struggles to categorise Japan: is it the world’s Population: 127 million most advanced technological civilisation, or a bastion of traditional Asian culture?

The best book on comedy you FIbAnnfEn haven't read (yet)By G. GuarinoComedy Rules is a unique book about the genre. mT4pqkmDL Jonathan Lynn's anecdotal style makes this an easy read, helping the reader 1n1KfXZTD understand the nuances of writing comedy. As a long time fan of Mr. Lynn and ADY1CzVQL his work, particularly the Yes, Minister/Prime Minister series, I found his mIZjxQ1TC references entertaining as well. Anyone interested in writing comedy in prose or Q8o2hbp8S for the screen, should read this book.

Interesting fun, but with no big focus or payoffBy DalcassianThere is not much bad to say about the author or the book, though it might prove disappointing to fans of "My Cousin Vinny" about which relatively little appears. The book has the strengths of its design -- mixing how-to with autobiography and thereby giving us insights and nice anecdotes of life, creativity, and celebrity, along with a fair dose of laughter.

  • Understanding Japanese Society, Second Edition
    UNDERSTANDING JAPANESE SOCIETY Japanese society is not well understood in the West, but the need to understand Japanese society is becoming increasingly imperative as contacts between the West and Japan increase. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to all aspects of Japanese society and culture. It begins with the home and family life and goes through various aspects of everyday and ceremonial life to the larger, more complex units such as government and the legal system. It pays particular attention to the way the world is seen, classified and ordered by Japanese people and to the symbolic aspects of Japanese behaviour, particularly ritual behaviour. The book draws on anthropological studies carried out in houses, villages, factories, businesses, schools, hospitals and so forth to show the reality of Japanese society in specific detail. Men, women and children are given equal weight throughout. The book is written so as to be comprehensible to those with no previous knowledge of Japan. Joy Hendry is Professor of Social Anthropology at Oxford Brookes University.

  • Missing Itami Jûzô
    Missing Itami Juzo The decline of Japanese film Steve Schlossstein July, 2009 I begin this brief essay on the next page with my translation of a recent interview with the veteran Japanese actor Yamazaki Tsutomu. It was one of several (Interview 2, pages 44-49*) conducted by the editors of Itami Juzo no Eiga (Itami Juzo’s Films, published in Japanese by Shinchosha in Tokyo in May, 2007). Yamazaki (Yama-san as he is popularly known) is one of Japan’s most accomplished actors and a longtime favorite of mine. He appeared in the first three films Itami wrote and directed: The Funeral, Tampopo, and A Taxing Woman, winning a Best Actor award from the Japanese Academy for the first and third. Following the translation are brief biographies of both the director Itami and his principal actor Yamazaki, together with their filmographies. They lead into short summaries of the Japanese, Chinese, and Korean film industries, including some historical perspective that may be useful as reference points for Asian cinema. I emphasize that these are just summaries and nothing more; full details can be found in the sources cited at the end.
