  • Murakami Goes to the Movies - from the Current - the Criterion Collection
    5/27/2016 Gods and Monsters: Murakami Goes to the Movies - From the Current - The Criterion Collection What’s Happening on Hulu Timothy Brock on Restoring Charlie Chaplin’s Sound By Hillary Weston Repertory Pick: Mitchum in Minnesota The Inspiring Work of the Ghetto Film School The Screenplayer By Sam Wasson Gods and Monsters: Murakami Goes to the Movies By Glen Helfand https://www.criterion.com/current/posts/3827-gods-and-monsters-murakami-goes-to-the-movies 1/7 5/27/2016 Gods and Monsters: Murakami Goes to the Movies - From the Current - The Criterion Collection In contemporary art, the feature film is a pinnacle form. It offers abundant possibilities to tell stories, address themes in a nuanced, durational manner, create carefully art-directed universes, and reach audiences much larger and more diverse than those at any gallery or museum. So for Takashi Murakami, an artist known for his ambitious multimedia practice, international scope, and brand-name recognition, feature film was inevitable. Since the 1990s, his work has grown to encompass a staggering range of media—from large-scale painting and sculpture to Louis Vuitton bags—taking on the vast subject of the Japanese pop psyche on a global stage. It’s clear why an artist of Murakami’s stature would attempt the medium of film, but there was no guarantee that his gallery reputation would translate to success in cinema. The scale of a film requires a collaborative component—the cast and crew—that doesn’t jibe with the traditional idea of the artist alone in the studio creating a thoughtful masterpiece.

  • Civil Society and the State in Democratic East Asia
    PROTEST AND SOCIAL MOVEMENTS Chiavacci, (eds) Grano & Obinger Civil Society and the State in Democratic East Asia East Democratic in State the and Society Civil Edited by David Chiavacci, Simona Grano, and Julia Obinger Civil Society and the State in Democratic East Asia Between Entanglement and Contention in Post High Growth Civil Society and the State in Democratic East Asia Protest and Social Movements Recent years have seen an explosion of protest movements around the world, and academic theories are racing to catch up with them. This series aims to further our understanding of the origins, dealings, decisions, and outcomes of social movements by fostering dialogue among many traditions of thought, across European nations and across continents. All theoretical perspectives are welcome. Books in the series typically combine theory with empirical research, dealing with various types of mobilization, from neighborhood groups to revolutions. We especially welcome work that synthesizes or compares different approaches to social movements, such as cultural and structural traditions, micro- and macro-social, economic and ideal, or qualitative and quantitative. Books in the series will be published in English. One goal is to encourage non- native speakers to introduce their work to Anglophone audiences. Another is to maximize accessibility: all books will be available in open access within a year after printed publication. Series Editors Jan Willem Duyvendak is professor of Sociology at the University of Amsterdam. James M. Jasper teaches at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.

  • Exploring the Cultural Phenomenon of Language in Japanese Band Names
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE 135 Hey! Say! JUMP: Exploring the cultural phenomenon of Language in Japanese band names Lee, Jackson Koon Yat & A.R.Woollock Abstract In Japan, English-language usage in the public sphere, from advertising through popular music, general media, and signage runs a gamut of uses and accuracies from the intentional and unintentional misuse, to the irreverent and the occasional sublime. This paper sets out to explore and record the use of English in the naming of Japanese pop and rock groups. The central thesis of this essay being that Japanese pop and rock group names fall into five distinct categories or phenomena: meaningless names using language other than Japanese, arbitrary names from second languages, bastardised 'other' language derivatives, Romanised Japanese, and mixed Japanese and other language. This grouping ignores those names rendered in kan-ji, which although acknowledged, are not specifically within the scope of this research. By deconstructing and analysing this use, it is hoped to contribute to discourse in the fields of both culture (cultural appropriation), and language (language use and accuracy). Keywords Japanese popular music, Japan, English Language, Wa-sei ei-go, Japanese culture [email protected] 136 Lee, Jackson Koon Yat & A.R.Woollock Introduction Glancing through the racks in your local Japanese music shop or rental store, the native speaker of English will be greeted with an array of Japanese band names which span the spectrum of use and comprehension from the expected and the mundane, through to the questionable and the incomprehensible.

  • Chapter 3 Chapter 3
    CHAPTER 3 3 CHAPTER LISTENING TO NOISE IN KANSAI It was late, and we were wandering up a side alley away from the light and clamor of the main market road that leads away from the station. I was woozy after several drinks of strong Okinawan liquor that Tabata Mitsuru and I had been drinking at an uchiage, a collective gathering of musicians after a performance. “I’m going to miss the last train,” I complained, as we headed farther into the darkness, away from the rumble of the trains. “Don’t worry about it,” mumbled Tabata, pointing to a tall hedge that ran along the wall of a nearby house, “I’ve slept back there a couple times when I missed the train . besides, we’re almost there, and we can hang out and listen all night. Unless it’s closed . .” We stopped before the door of what looked like an abandoned storefront, its large window completely pasted over with record album jackets, their images so faded that only blurs of blue ink remained. Some peeled of the wall in shreds, like remnants of old posters from some long-past political campaign. Te door, too, shed bits of old magazine pages as we swung it open to step inside. As my eyes ad- justed to the darkness, I could see that the interior walls and ceiling were the same, covered with faded images and torn posters behind shelves clut- tered with junk and bottles of Jinro shôchû, a Korean rice whiskey, marked with the names of the regulars by whom they were claimed.

  • The Intangible Warrior Culture of Japan: Bodily Practices, Mental Attitudes, and Values of the Two-Sworded Men from the Fifteenth to the Twenty-First Centuries
    The Intangible Warrior Culture of Japan: Bodily Practices, Mental Attitudes, and Values of the Two-sworded Men from the Fifteenth to the Twenty-first Centuries. Anatoliy Anshin Ph.D. Dissertation UNSW@ADFA 2009 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis would not have seen the light without the help of more people than I can name individually. I am particularly grateful to Professor Stewart Lone, UNSW@ADFA, and Professor Sandra Wilson, Murdoch University, for their guidance and support while supervising my Ph.D. project. All of their comments and remarks helped enormously in making this a better thesis. A number of people in Japan contributed significantly to producing this work. I am indebted to Ōtake Risuke, master teacher of Tenshinshō-den Katori Shintō-ryū, and Kondō Katsuyuki, director of the Main Line Daitō-ryū Aikijūjutsu, for granting interviews and sharing a wealth of valuable material during my research. I thank Professor Shima Yoshitaka, Waseda University, for his generous help and advice. I would like to express my infinite thankfulness to my wife, Yoo Sun Young, for her devotion and patience during the years it took to complete this work. As for the contribution of my mother, Margarita Anshina, no words shall convey the depth of my gratitude to her. 1 CONTENTS Acknowledgements…………..…………………………………………………….……1 Contents…………………………..……………………………………………………...2 List of Illustrations……………………………………………………………………….5 Conventions……………………………………………………………………………...6 List of Author’s Publications…………………………………………………………….8 INTRODUCTION……………………………………………………………………….9

  • 5.14 String Theory
    1 Mission Mission gram is attracting the best talents as ever. Several of our new members have turned down some of most prestigious positions elsewhere. Our ongoing and future projects fascinate scientists around the globe. Building an international institute from scratch was not easy. But thanks to the effort by our colleagues, staff, the University, and MEXT, we got off the ground very quickly and incredibly well. Stay tuned what we will discover in the next few years. Our Mission Our mission is very simple. Just like when you looked up the night sky when you were young, human beings are naturally drawn to basic and profound questions. Where do we come from? Where are we going? How did the Universe begin? Does it have an end? How does it work? The first step to answer these questions is to understand what the Universe is made of. At the Frontier We are making tremendous progress. David Spergel (PI) and Eiichiro Komatsu (Affiliate Senior Re- searcher) discovered that 96% of the Universe is unknown. Dark Matter, that makes up about a quarter of the Universe, is responsible for creating stars and galaxies in the Universe, that allowed the solar system and us to be born. On the other hand, Dark Energy, about 70% of the Universe, is ripping our Universe apart. The history of the Universe has been based on the battle of these two titans. They are the genomes of the Universe; many of our members are working together, just about to start a cosmic Director Hitoshi Murayama genome project, using the Subaru telescope and many other experiments.
