Découvert par un épicier dans une caisse d’oranges, Cheburashka débarque en Russie. Mais le zoo ne veut pas le garder car personne n’est capable de dire à quelle espèce animale il appartient.

C’est alors qu’ils décident de construire "La Maison des amis"… Un cirque s’installe en ville ! Gena et Cheburashka courent assister au spectacle et se présentent pour faire partie de la troupe, mais ni l’un ni l’autre ne sait jongler et encore moins marcher sur une corde… Déçus, ils rentrent chez eux et rencontrent Masha, une fillette qui elle aussi veut devenir artiste de cirque. Ils l’aideront à perfectionner son talent et à devenir funambule… Un jour, un ex-magicien arrive à la gare à la recherche de sa petite-fille.

Dissertation Advisor: Professor Karen Thornber Miya Qiong Xie The Literary Territorialization of Manchuria: Rethinking National and Transnational Literature in East Asia from the Frontier Abstract This dissertation studies modern Chinese, Korean, and Japanese literature written in and about Manchuria from the 1920s through the 1970s. Manchuria, now the northeastern part of China, was once an open frontier. In the first half of the twentieth century, it became a site of contestation and conflict among multiple countries. Along with the political and military rivalries that unfolded there, I argue that literature played an important role in the frontier contestation.

What are doujinshis? Chapter 2: Comic Market Today Chapter 3: History of Comic Market Chapter 4: The Ideals of Comic Market and its Present Status 2 Copyright 2007-2015 COMIKET www.comiket.co.jp Chapter One What is Comic Market? What are Doujinshis? Copyright 2007ー2015 COMIKET www.comiket.co.jp What are Doujinshis? What are Doujinshi Marketplaces? What are Doujinshis? - Doujinshis are defined in Japanese dictionaries as "magazines published as a cooperative effort by a group of individuals who share a common ideology or goals with the aim of establishing a medium through which their works can be presented." Originating from the world of literature, fine arts, and academia, doujinshis experienced unprecedented growth in Japan as a medium of self-expression for various subcultures centered around manga. - At present, books edited and published by individuals with the aim of presenting their own material are also considered doujinshis. - As a norm, doujinshis are not included in the commercial publishing distribution system. > The primary goal of doujinshi publishing is that of self-expression of one's own works--Ordinarily commercial gain is not the primary rationale behind engaging in the production of doujinshis. > Their distribution is limited in scope. What are Doujinshi Marketplaces? - Social functions centered around the display and distribution of doujinshis. - Their scale and function can vary from anywhere between small gatherings taking place in regular conference spaces where only a few dozen circles (doujinshi publishing groups) attend but can be big as the Comic Market where over 35,000 circles congregate.
