    The Understanding Reception of Reincarnation in Contemporary Japan As Seen in the Manga Boku no chikyu o mamotte (Please Save My Earth)” By MIYAI Rika Saitama Institute of Technology 1. INTRODUCTION Some may find it astonishing when they learn that today, in the age of information perfected by science, some people still believe in a previous life (Jp.zense) and reincarnation1 (Jp.rinne tentho). The fact is, though, we find a comparatively high percentage of young people who do so. According to a survey made by The Japanese Association for the Study of Religion and Society (“Shukyo to shakai” gakkai)morethanhalfof university students believe in a previous life and reincarnation, or are likely to believe so. The youth’s perception of reincarnation differs, however, from the traditional views. In this paper I shall examine today’s way of understanding reincarnation and previous life, in particular the perception of the young generation, by looking at Manga (Japanese Comic books). 2. CHANGES IN TODAY’S PERCEPTION OF REINCARNATION AS SEEN IN MANGA 2.1 CONCEPTION OF THE ISSUE In the Manga Bokunochikyuomamotte(Please Save My Earth, below Boku) by Hiwatari Saki I suggest we can identify three kinds of attitudes to the ideas previous life and reincarnation. Boku was serialized in the magazine Hana to yume between January 1987 and April 1994 and published in book form in 21 volumes.2 It was a widely read girls’ comic and drew much attention at that time because it became entangled in a social issue. It was seen as socially problematic that young people, young girls in particular, believed in previous life,so the author wrote a “Statement of Fiction” whichdrewmuchattention (see details in 2.3 below).

  • Conference Program
    Association for the Study of Literature and Environment Thirteenth Biennial Conference June, 2019 Dear ASLE Conference Participants: On behalf of UC Davis, it’s my pleasure to welcome you to the Association for the Study of Literature and Environment’s Thirteenth Biennial Conference. It’s an honor to open our campus to you as a resource. We’re proud of the breadth, depth and excellence of our scholarship and research in environmental sciences. UC Davis serves as a model of environmental sustainability, not only to our students, but also to industry and the public at large. The innovations coming out of our Institute of Transportation Studies have shaped the direction of clean-fuel policies and technologies in California and the nation. Our West Village housing community is the largest planned “zero net energy” community in the nation. In addition, our sustainable practices on campus earned UC Davis the “greenest-in-the-U.S.” ranking in the UI GreenMetric World University Rankings. We’re working hard to make UC Davis a completely zero-carbon campus by 2025. All of these things speak to our long-standing commitment to sustainability. This conference provides a forum for networking opportunities and crucial discussions to inform and invigorate our commitment to practices that are both environmentally sustainable and socially just. There’s never been a better time to engage our broader communities in conversations about these topics. I want to thank our UC Davis faculty, students and partners for hosting this important conference for scholars, educators and writers in environmental humanities. Enjoy the conference and take time to explore our beautiful campus.

  • Crisis of Infinite Intertexts! Continuity As Adaptation in the Superman Multimedia Franchise
    Crisis of Infinite Intertexts! Continuity as Adaptation in the Superman Multimedia Franchise Jack Peterson Teiwes ORCID identifier 0000-0001-8956-1602 Doctor of Philosophy November 2015 School of Culture and Communication The University of Melbourne Submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements of the PhD degree Produced on archival quality paper Abstract Since first appearing as a comic book character over three quarters of a century ago, Superman was not only the first superhero, spawning an entire genre of imitators, but also quickly became one of the most widely disseminated multi-media entertainment franchises. This achieved a degree of intergenerational cultural dissemination that far surpasses his comic book fandom. Yet despite an unprecedented degree of adaptation into other media from radio, newspaper strips, film serials, animation, feature films, video games and television, Superman’s ongoing comic books have remained in unbroken publication, developing a long and complex history of narrative renewal and reinvention. This thesis investigates the multifaceted intertextuality between the comic book portrayals of Superman and its many adaptations over the years, including how such retellings in other media have a generally stronger cultural impact, which exerts in turn an adaptive influence upon these continuing comics’ internalised narrative continuity. I shall argue that Superman comics, as a case study for the wider phenomenon in the superhero genre, demonstrate via their frequent revisions and relaunches of continuity, a process of deeply palimpsestuous self-adaptation. The Introduction positions my research methodology in relation to intertextual theory, with an emphasis on providing terminological clarity, while Chapter 1 expands into a literature review on pertinent key scholarship on adaptation studies and the comics studies field specifically.

  • Science Fiction and the Law: a New Wigmorian Bibliography
    SJ Quinney College of Law, University of Utah Utah Law Digital Commons Utah Law Faculty Scholarship Utah Law Scholarship 8-2020 Science Fiction and the Law: A New Wigmorian Bibliography Jorge L. Contreras Follow this and additional works at: https://dc.law.utah.edu/scholarship Part of the Other Law Commons SCIENCE FICTION AND THE LAW: A NEW WIGMORIAN BIBLIOGRAPHY Jorge L. Contreras1 Draft 1 Aug. 2020 ABSTRACT In 1908, Dean John Henry Wigmore compiled a list of novels that no lawyer could “afford to ignore”. Wigmore’s list, taken up by Professor Richard Weisberg in the 1970s, catalogs one hundred novels, stories and dramatic works from Antigone to The Merchant of Venice to Native Son, each of which portrays or offers insight into the legal system or the practice of law. Weisberg’s updated list also includes a compilation of critical studies in the then-emerging law and literature movement. This article undertakes a similar bibliographic exercise with respect to law and the literature of science fiction. While science fiction, as a literary genre, has its detractors, it cannot be denied that science fiction stories – whether in books, short stories, films or television shows – reach a vast audience and, for better or worse, influence popular perceptions and understanding of science and technology issues. Likewise, science fiction narratives that portray legal regimes directed at new and unsolved problems (prescribing relations between alien races, governing sentient machines, regulating human genetic modification) can help judges, lawyers and policy makers to consider the hypothetical effects of such regulations in the real world. Accordingly, this article offers a list of fifty science fiction works that address legal issues, classified according to doctrinal themes, as well as a compilation of academic literature addressing issues of law in science fiction.

  • Representations of Hiv/Aids in Popular American Comic Books, 1981- 1996
    REPRESENTATIONS OF HIV/AIDS IN POPULAR AMERICAN COMIC BOOKS, 1981- 1996 William Richard Avila A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2021 Committee: Jeffrey Brown, Advisor Michael Decker Graduate Faculty Representative William Albertini Timothy Messer-Kruse © 2021 William Richard Avila All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeffery Brown, Advisor From 1981-1996, the United States experienced an epidemic of human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) that held profound implications for issues ranging from civil rights, public education, and sexual mores, to government accountability, public health, and expressions of heterosexism. Popular comic books that broached the subject of HIV/AIDS during the U.S. epidemic elucidate how America’s discourse on the disease evolved in an era when elected officials, religious leaders, legal professionals, medical specialists, and average citizens all struggled to negotiate their way through a period of national crisis. The manner whereby comic book authors, illustrators, and publishers engaged the topic of HIV/AIDS changed over time but, because comic books are an item of popular culture primarily produced for a heterosexual male audience, such changes habitually mirrored the evolution of the nation’s mainstream, heteronormative debates regarding the epidemic and its sociocultural and political implications. Through studying depictions of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in popular comic books, alterations in the heterocentric, national discourse emerge revealing how homophobic dismissals of the “gay plague” in the early 1980s gave way to heterosexual panic in the mid-1980s, followed by the epidemic’s reinterpretation as a national tragedy in the late-1980s.

All rights reserved. Author permissions are required to reprint all or part of this work. www.twilightzonemuseum.com * www.facebook.com/twilightzonemuseum Preface At this late date, little has not been said about The Twilight Zone. It’s often imitated, appropriated, used – but never remotely matched. From its quiet and decisively non-ostentatious beginnings, it steadily grew into its status as an icon and televisional gemstone…and not only changed the way we looked at the world but became an integral part of it. But this isn’t to say that the talk of it has been evenly distributed. Certain elements, and full episodes, of the Rod Serling TV show get much more attention than others. Various characters, plot elements, even plot devices are well-known to many. But I dare say that there’s a good amount of the series that remains unknown to the masses. In particular, there has been very much less talk, and even lesser scholarly treatment, of the second half of the series. This “study” is two decades in the making. It started from a simple episode guide, which still exists. Out of it came this work. The timing is right. In 2019, the series turns sixty years old.

  • 1 Introduction
    Notes 1 Introduction 1. It may be noted that, while the child is a relatively recent construction, the phase of life we think of as adolescence is even more recent. ‘It is as if,’ writes Ariès, ‘to every period in history, there corresponded a privileged age and a particular division of human life: “youth” is the privileged age of the seventeenth century, childhood of the nineteenth, adolescence of the twen- tieth’ (29). Marcel Danesi prefers to distinguish adolescence (a psychosocial and biological category) from teenagerhood (a socially constructed category having its origins in 1950s consumerism and the media) (3–6). 2. This is what Derrida would refer to as the ‘free play’ between Romanticism and Calvinism. In a key essay, ‘Structure, Sign and Play’, Derrida argues that the whole of Western thought is structured on the principle of a centre whose function ‘was not only to orient, balance, and organize the structure … but above all to make sure that the organizing principle of the structure would limit what we might call the play of the structure’ (278). In giving rise to binary oppositions, this centre operates to deny, repress or marginalise other meanings, readings and possibilities. For example, Romantic views of the child in the nineteenth-century were privileged while Calvinist views of the child were repressed, marginalised. In deconstruction, Derrida seeks to reverse or decentre these oppositions to show how the term that is central may just as easily be marginal, and to demonstrate how the hierarchy is highly unstable, even arbitrary. However, rather than simply adopting this other term as the new centre Derrida urges us to surrender to the free play of opposites, so that we may see all possibilities.

CHRIS WARE‘S JIMMY CORRIGAN: HONING THE HYBRIDITY OF THE GRAPHIC NOVEL by DALLAS J. DYCUS, JR. Under the Direction of Michael Galchinsky ABSTRACT The genre of comics has had a tumultuous career throughout the twentieth century: it has careened from wildly popular to being perceived as the source of society‘s ills. Despite having been relegated to the lowest rung of the artistic ladder for the better part of the twentieth century, comics has been gaining in quality and respectability over the last couple of decades. My introductory chapter provides a broad, basic introduction to the genre of comics––its historical development, its different forms, and a survey of comics criticism over the last thirty years. In chapter two I clarify the nature of comics by comparing it to literature, film, and pictorial art, thereby highlighting its hybrid nature. It has elements in common with all of these, and yet it is a distinct genre.
