This has been central to my work and life since 1972-when I flrst went to work at the National Welfare Rights Organization and then to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights; and today it is in full flower in the work of the Center for Women Policy Studies. In all of these years, I have shared with many other feminists the mission to speak out about racism-plus-sexism as having a unique quality of oppression for women of color. We have talked about the importance of "doing our homework" about other sisters' origins, cul- tures, and histories. We have encouraged white feminists to be outspo- ken against racism and not to leave that task solely to women of color. We have insisted on our responsibility to root out the vestiges of racism in ourselves, in our organizations, and in our feminist theory and policy priorities. And we have talked to women of color as well about multiethnic visions of feminism and the importance of doing the hard work to break down racial. ethnic, and cultural barriers both to sisterhood and to the institutional change that will foreshadow an egal- itarian future. 231 232 Counvy Pottroits fheWomen's Movement in the United Stotes 255 Setting the Stager Defining premises Our Central sex.

    Kamigawa By Gaunlet AKA Waddle Proofread By The world of Kamigawa, positioned far from any other world known to the Walkers, is governed by the interplay between the mortals and the kami, minor gods or spirits of the world. However, when a child of the supreme kami, O-Kagachi, was stolen away, the physical and spiritual worlds gird for war against each other. The Kakuriyo, sometimes called the Reikai, is the spirit world where the kami dwell; its other half is that of the Utsushiyo where mortals live. Together they form a great sphere that makes the whole of the world. You have come at a troubling time, dear Jumper. The war with the spirit realm has begun. In a world of mysticism and honor, the war is brewing. Spirits launch attacks against humans as, in the shadows, a terror lurks just beyond sight. This world is filled with mysteries and it’s depths have yet to be properly understood. So many things are coming to light and old grudges are being settled wholesale and into this world you have entered. Take this 1000 CP to aid in your journey in this place.

  • And the Visual Representation of the Korean Dokkaebi Abstract the Oni and the Dokkaebi Are Mythological Characters in Japan and Korea
    theme 2 strand 1 memory design histories: tradition, transgression and transformations Mikyung Bak [email protected] Blucher Design Proceedings author(s) Dezembro de 2014, Número 5, Volume 1 Kyoto University www.proceedings.blucher.com.br/evento/icdhs2014 The Folktale “Hokpuri Yongkam” and the Visual Representation of the Korean Dokkaebi abstract The Oni and the Dokkaebi are mythological characters in Japan and Korea. The question of the originality of the Dokkaebi has been raised because, although the Oni and the Dokkaebi are certainly different in many respects, the image of the Dokkaebi today is described as being identical to that of Oni. A prime example cited is an illustration for the folk story “Hokpuri Yongkam” [The Old Man with a Lump] in school textbooks during the colonial period (1910–1945). Almost all scholars insist that this illustration is evidence of an affection for Japanese colonial unification ideology and that the image thus has to be corrected urgently. Moreover, some of them also insist that the folktale itself is Japanese. In this paper, I want to show another possibility for the origin of this folktale and its visual representation of the Dokkaebi. keywords Dokkaebi, Oni, representation, visualization, colonial period Introduction The current visualization of the Dokkaebi has one or two horns and a long tooth, wears tiger-skin pants and carries a magic stick. While there are variations on this appearance, the horns and tiger-skin pants fundamentally symbolize the Oni, as well (Yanagida, 1951) and are used in many designs of Oni-based characters. The Dokkaebi is a beloved symbolic icon of Korean culture, showing up in animation, comics, soap operas, and movies.

    reviews | 453 Japan Noriko T. Reider, Seven Demon Stories from Medieval Japan Boulder, CO: Utah State University Press, 2016. xiii + 312 pages. 22 illustrations, notes, bibliography, index. Paperback, $33.95, ISBN: 978-1-60732-489-8. The term otogi-zoshi (“companion tales”) refers to a genre of more than 400 illustrated stories composed between the fifteenth and early-seventeenth centuries. The term otogi- zoshi was first employed by an eighteenth-century publisher and is suggestive of “nurs- ery rhymes” suitable for children and their care-givers, an association that was perpet- uated by literary historians for much of the twentieth century. Nevertheless, the genre is now achieving wide recognition as a vibrant part of the literature of medieval Japan. Noriko Reider’s Seven Demon Stories from Medieval Japan offers us a nuanced and informative exploration of this particular literary-historical landscape. Each chapter focuses on a single text, telling the tale of a character’s encounter with a demon (oni). The first two stories examine the adventures of the famous warrior Minamoto Yor- imitsu and his band of retainers, as they brave (with no small amount of divine in- tervention) the mountain lair of the “Drunken Demon” Shuten Dōji and track the venomous Earth Spider (tsuchigumo). The third and fourth stories describe the ad- ventures of clever scholars: Minister Kibi (whose historic diplomatic mission to China is fictionalized into a series of trials in which Kibi outwits his Chinese adversaries) and Lord Haseo (whose wager with a game-playing oni leads to a lesson in the dangers of lust). The third pair of stories touch on the adventures of female protagonists: the Weaving Maiden who goes off in search of her demon-husband Amewakahiko (a story that combines an etiology of the Star Festival—celebrating the yearly joining of the stars Vega and Altair—with a reflection on the marriage politics of the day) and the Blossom Princess (a “Cinderella story,” in which an abused step-daughter gains magi- cal assistance from a mountain hag and finds love).
