  • “Reciprocal Legitimation” Between Shakespeare's Works and Manga
    Multicultural Shakespeare: Translation, Appropriation and Performance vol. 14 (29), 2016; DOI: 10.1515/mstap-2016-0019 ∗ Yukari Yoshihara Toward “Reciprocal Legitimation” between Shakespeare’s Works and Manga Abstract: In April 2014, Nihon Hoso Kyokai (NHK: Japan Broadcasting Company) aired a short animated film titled “Ophelia, not yet”. Ophelia, in this animation, survives, as she is a backstroke champion. This article will attempt to contextualize the complex negotiations, struggles and challenges between high culture and pop culture, between Western culture and Japanese culture, between authoritative cultural products and radicalized counterculture consumer products (such as animation), to argue that it would be more profitable to think of the relationships between highbrow/lowbrow, Western/non-Western, male versus female, heterosexual versus non-heterosexual, not simply in terms of dichotomies or domination/subordination, but in terms of reciprocal enrichment in a never-ending process of mutual metamorphoses. Keywords: Pop culture, Japan, gender, cultural hierarchy, manga, animation Introduction In April 2014, Nihon Hoso Kyokai (NHK: Japan Broadcasting Company) aired a short animated film (1 min. 30 seconds) titled Ophelia, not yet. The animation visually cites John Everett Millais’s painting of Ophelia (1852) with cheeky twists: in this animation, Ophelia looks like the Ophelia by Millais, but she does not die because she can swim, being a national backstroke champion.1 My garments were pulling me down deep under the water. Suddenly I remembered, I am a national backstroke champion, am I not? Soaked clothes spread wide were dragging me down, but Not yet, not yet, it is not time for a watery death . ∗ University of Tsukuba.

  • Curriculum Vitae Chila Kumari Burman
    ! ! Curriculum Vitae Chila Kumari Burman Brought up in Liverpool and educated at the Slade School of Art in London, Chila Kumari Burman has worked experimentally across printmaking, painting, sculpture, photography and film since the mid-1980s. She draws on fine and pop art imagery in intricate multi- layered works which explore Asian femininity and her personal family history, and where Bollywood bling merges with childhood memories. The Bindi Girls are a series of female figures composed almost entirely of colourful and glittery bindis, gems and crystals. Meticulously handcrafted and embellished, they suggest a powerful yet playful femininity. From bindis and other fashion accessories to ice cream cones and ice lolly wrappers, Chila often uses everyday materials in her work, giving new meaning to items which others may see as worthless, cheap or kitsch. Ice Cream has a particular significance in her work and references her childhood in Liverpool where her father, who arrived as an immigrant from India in the 1950s, owned an ice cream van and was a popular figure as he drove around selling ice cream for over thirty years. As well as paying homage to her father, her Ice Cream works evoke the awakening of her own creative spirit when as a child she would help out in the ice cream van and became immersed in a world of colour, flavour and materials. Chila Kumari Burman’s work is held in a number of public and private collections including the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Wellcome Trust in London, and the Devi Foundation in New Delhi.

  • Postculture. Nor Does My Postulate Spell the ‘End’ of Culture
    POSTCULTURE Richard Appignanesi The Indian-American sociologist, Arjun Appadurai, argues that we should consider ‘the human preoccupations that shape the future as a cultural fact’. By conceiving the future as specific cultural form, ‘we will be better able to place within this scheme more particular ideas about prophecy, well-being, emergency, crisis, and regulations’. This begs the question: what is culture? Do not trust anyone who speaks of culture without first defining it. Pronouncements on culture seldom if ever survive the test of this golden rule. The reason is apparent. Any attempt to define culture at once founders on the reefs of eclectic plurality. Culture is not reserved only for ethnographic designation. There is a pop culture, another of high culture, a New Age culture, a culinary culture, a culture of violence, a culture of rogue bankers, and so forth into endless particularist multitude. It demonstrates taxonomy chiefly by the rival incompatible differences within itself. The word culture attaches itself promiscuously to every sort of manifestation. We might pointlessly object to many of these usages of culture as being superficial, misapplied or invalid. It might indeed be true but fruitless to say that culture has entirely succumbed to nominalism. We will yet have to satisfy the golden rule of trustworthy definition. Where in all this termitary of cultures is the culture which can bear universal sense? Is there some unacknowledged template of culture which answers universally to all its unruly factions? It would seem there is none. How can there be a single definition of culture when it disintegrates even at micro-level? Nor are we better served at the macro-level.

Seit 2010 bringt der Verlag Sachcomics aus der britischen "Introducing …"-Reihe als deutschsprachige Ausgaben heraus. Dass eine Einführung in verschiedene wissenschaftliche Disziplinen (wie etwa Physik, Philosophie, Psychologie, Soziologie, Kulturwissenschaften und Ökonomie) und deren unterschiedliche Themengebiete (wie Relativitätstheorie, Quantenphysik, Logik, Ethik, Kapitalismus und Marxismus) leicht verständlich und lebendig sein kann, oder Gedanken und Werke bedeutender SchriftstellerInnen und DenkerInnen (wie William Shakespeare und Slavoj Žižek) leicht nachvollziehbar näherbringen kann, ohne dabei an Seriosität einzubüßen, beweist das Format der Sachcomics.

A REVISION OF CONTEMPORARY DEFINITIONS ŞTEFAN BOLEA1 ABSTRACT. In the following paper we provide a personal definition of the existential philosophy and the existential subject. Before that we explore other historical definitions of existentialism. We were mainly interested in the relation between existentialism and nihilism, the focus of existential philosophy on the individual and the situation of the studied philosophical trend on the 1950's zeitgeist. The definition of existentialism as a form of trans-rationalism and its capacity to become a practical alternative to contemporary academic philosophy were also emphasized. Keywords: existentialism, nihilism, postmodernism, practical philosophy, literature, individualism, irrationalism, trans-rationalism, death, anxiety Introduction We would like to take into consideration some of the most important definitions of existentialism (before providing a personal definition, which analyzes the relations between the studied philosophical trend, nihilism and postmodernism) in order to understand its position in the history of philosophy.

Those set down in his diaries, amongst mundane complaints of constipation or migraine, are often the most striking: 4 Kafka managed to turn this sometimes deliciously-evoked internal terror inside-out — with himself torn and mutilated at its center — as storytelling. He had no discernible world view to share in his work, no guiding philosophy, only dazzling tales to deliver out of an extraordinarily acute subconscious. At best, an identifiable mood pervades his work, mysterious and difficult to pinpoint.
