Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} the Book of Yokai Mysterious Creatures of Japanese Folklore by Michael Dylan Foster Michael Dylan Foster Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Book of Yokai Mysterious Creatures of Japanese Folklore by Michael Dylan Foster Michael Dylan Foster. I came to UC Davis in 2016 after eight years in the Department of Folklore and Ethnomusicology at Indiana University. Before that I worked at UC Riverside, in the Department of Comparative Literature & Foreign Languages, where I taught Japanese language, literature, folklore and film. My research focuses on folklore, literature and popular culture, primarily in Japan. I am interested in how cultural phenomena and beliefs— particularly those associated with the supernatural—are articulated through textual and visual media as well as performance, ritual and everyday contexts. I have written a lot about supernatural creatures and strange phenomena. My first book, Pandemonium and Parade: Japanese Monsters and the Culture of Yôkai (2009), is a cultural history that traces how notions of the mysterious have been understood within both academic discourses and popular practices from the seventeenth century through the present. I particularly explore how aspects of everyday life we often take for granted— games, rumors, popular beliefs—reflect broader cultural and historical changes. My second book, The Book of Yôkai: Mysterious Creatures of Japanese Folklore (2015), also focuses on monsters and supernatural beings in Japan, exploring their roots, interpreting their meanings, and introducing many of the people who have studied, catalogued, and sought to define them. Through this interest in popular conceptions of monstrosity and the supernatural, I have also become interested in the concept of the “folkloresque,” how folklore is “used” within artistic, literary, filmic, and popular cultural contexts. For more than two decades now I have also engaged on a long-term ethnographic study of ritual, festival, and tourism in Japan. For this project, I have done extensive fieldwork on the Toshidon ritual on the island of Shimo-Koshikijima in Kagoshima Prefecture and the Namahage festival in Akita Prefecture. I also consider the ethnographic and theoretical observations of Yanagita Kunio, Orikuchi Shinobu, Komatsu Kazuhiko and other folklorists. This work on festival and ritual has led me toward more theoretical considerations of tourism, intangible cultural heritage (ICH), and the role of cultural policy institutions such as UNESCO. It also gave me a chance to help out on a Japanese fishing boat for several months, during which time I ate sashimi for breakfast every day. SELECTED PUBLICATIONS. BOOKS.

CURRENT PROJECTS. I am working on an ongoing ethnographic project concerning masked rituals and festivals featuring demon-deity figures often called “raihôshin.” I have begun turning this fieldwork, and many many hours of interviews, into a monograph tentatively titled Visiting Strangers: Tourists, Ethnographers, and Gods . In addition, I have several smaller projects, including one that explores hypnotism, clairvoyance, and spirit photography in early twentieth-century Japan. HONORS AND AWARDS.

While acknowledging localization’s existence as a facet of the larger concept of translation itself, the work examines “translation” and “localization” as if they were two ends of a spectrum; through this contrast, the unique techniques and goals of each method as seen in translated media can be more effectively highlighted. After establishing these working definitions, they can then be applied as a rubric to media examples to determine which “translative” or “localizing” techniques were employed in the

    Japanskar þjóðsagnaverur Birtingarmyndir, uppruninn og hvíta tjaldið Ritgerð til BA prófs Ragnheiður Þórðardóttir Maí 2017 Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Japanskt mál og menning Japanskar þjóðsagnaverur Birtingarmyndir, uppruninn og hvíta tjaldið Ritgerð til BA prófs í japönsku máli og menningu Ragnheiður Þórðardóttir Kt.: 100992-2999 Leiðbeinandi: Gunnella Þorgeirsdóttir Maí 2017 1 Samantekt Alls staðar þar sem drepið er niður fæti í Japan má finna einverja þjóðsagnaveru . Í Japan nefnast þessar verur yōkai og tengjast vissum landsvæðum. Þessar sérstöku verur eiga sér mýmörg, nöfn, og sögur sem greina frá hinum ýmsu kröftum sem einkenna þær. Í upphafi birtust þjóðsagnaverurnar í skrifuðum heimildum og á málverkum en í dag hafa verið gerðar um þær kvikmyndir, teiknimyndir og jafnvel heilu þáttaseríurnar. Í þessari ritgerð verður fjallað um hvernig japanskar þjóðsagnaverur hafa breyst, þróast og öðlast nýtt líf og þannig verið aðlagaðar nútímanum. Litið verður á hvaðan sögurnar koma og hvers vegna vinsældir þeirra hafa orðið svona miklar Birtimyndir þeirra, bæði í fortíð og nútíð verða skoðaðar með tilliti til þróunar og breytinga sem orðið hafa í tækni, pólitík og menningu í tímans rás. Einnig verður fjallað um nýjar verur sem upphaflega urðu til í flökkusögnum en hafa hlotið vinsældir eftir að hafa komið fyrir í bókmenntum og kvikmyndum. Sem dæmi má nefna konuna Kuchisake- Onna sem í dag er svo vel þekkt að hún er orðin hálfgerð þjóðsagnavera. Þannig má segja að í dag séu japanskar þjóðsagnaverur sem á Edo tímabilinu (1600- 1867) urðu mjög vinsælar því enn, mörg hundruð árum seinna, í fullu fjöri. 2 Efnisyfirlit Inngangur ............................................................................................................................................... 4 Japönsk Þjóðsagnahefð .................................................................................................................... 6 Yanagita Kunio og yōkai ..........................................................................................................

  • Marriage Migration in Asia the Book of Yōkai
    The Newsletter | No.76 | Spring 2017 24 | The Review Marriage migration in Asia is not the case for many marriage migrants in the East and Studies on marriage migration have traditionally focused on women travelling from Southeast Asian states. The tensions between nation-states’ laws and migrants’ lives surface clearly and transversally less developed countries in the global south to more developed ones in the global across the ten essays. They make the reader reflect on how states are dealing with international marriages, and what north. The focus of studies in the 1990s, on brides moving from the global south to the consequences are for children and their migrant parents. The consequences vary depending on the type of registration the global north in pursuit of higher economic standing, has nonetheless created a migrants hold (if they are registered at all) with their states of origin and destination, and the migrants’ overall goals. foundation for future studies on marriage migration to build upon.
