  • Kamishibai, What Is It? Some Preliminary Findings
    1 KAMISHIBAI, WHAT IS IT? SOME PRELIMINARY FINDINGS Jeffrey A. Dym From January to May 2007, I spent time researching the history of kamishibai in Japan. Prior to leaving, when my colleagues asked me what I was researching, I would reply kamishibai. Of course, they had no idea what I was talking about. When you tell someone in Japan you are studying kamishibai, they might look at you with a puzzled look, wondering why you are studying that and not something more practical and business oriented but at least they know what you are talking about. For most Americans, the subject is completely arcane. The usual translation of kamishibai is “paper plays.” But I found that telling my colleagues that I was studying paper plays really didn’t clarify things. It often conjured up for them an image of Indonesian puppet theater. Instead, I usually resorted to telling them that I was studying a type of street performance that was popular in Japan during the 1930s and 1950s. Indeed, it is possible to offer a fairly straightforward description of kamishibai. Kamishibai, in a format similar to the ones presented on Kamishibai for Kids, first appeared in 1930 in Tokyo and quickly became one of the most popular forms of mass entertainment in the major cities of Japan. Kamishibai is designed so that virtually anyone can perform it. Though the first kamishibai didn’t have words on the back, within a few years of its debut words were added to the back of the pictures so that anyone could perform it.

  • Arab American Literature and the Ethnic American Landscape: Language, Identity, and Community
    Arab American Literature and the Ethnic American Landscape: Language, Identity, and Community A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department English and Comparative Literature of the College of Arts and Sciences by Niven Herro, B.A., M.A. July 2018 Committee Chair: Jennifer Glaser, Ph.D. Committee Members: Lisa Hogeland, Ph.D., Laura Micciche, Ph.D. Abstract This dissertation explores the works of contemporary Arab American women writers with a focus on language, identity, and community. I am especially interested in the ways in which the Arab American immigrant experience mirrors that of other ethnic American groups, as demonstrated in their literatures. First, I argue that Randa Jarrar’s debut novel, A Map of Home (2008), which uses language—both Arabic and English—as a source of empowerment, reflects Chicana writer Gloria Anzaldúa’s concept of the “new mestiza consciousness.” Comparing the Chinatown community in Fae Myenne Ng’s Bone (1993), to the Muslim community in Mohja Kahf’s The Girl in the Tangerine Scarf (2006), reveals the complicated relationships the novels’ characters have with their communities. In both novels, the personal development of their young women protagonists is greatly influenced by their respective communities, which simultaneously serve as positive sites of support and complex sites of difficult negotiations. While the characters in A Map of Home and The Girl in the Tangerine Scarf ultimately learn to effectively navigate their hybrid subject positions as both Arabs and Americans, the failure to do so leads to a tragic end for the couple at the center of Laila Halaby’s Once in a Promised Land.

  • Kamishibai: an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Japanese Culture and Its Application in Infant Education
    KÉPZÉS ÉS GYAKORLAT • 2017. 15. ÉVFOLYAM 1−2. SZÁM. DOI: 10.17165/TP.2017.1-2.2 ANA MARQUÉS IBÁÑEZ1 Kamishibai: An intangible cultural heritage of Japanese culture and its application in Infant Education In the field of art education, it is imperative to use new and innovative methods to study visual culture, and to adopt multicultural and intercultural approaches to interpret art in different cultures. It is interesting to study the way in which the intertextual method (the interrelationship between texts, whether written, oral, past or present; the implicit or explicit connection between a set of texts forming a context which conditions the understanding and development of the discourse) can be employed to interpret art from a western or eastern perspective. The kamishibai art form should be integrated into pre-school and elementary school curricula to promote reading. This proposal goes beyond simply understanding a text with images. The focus is on how a text can be performed theatrically and involve the participation and interaction of children as protagonists in the process. We start by introducing the concept of kamishibai, including its origins and different stages of evolution throughout history until the present day. Then, we discuss the potential new roles that contemporary kamishibai could assume in the educational context. Finally, we present an educational proposal to promote its use in early childhood education. We consider that the development of artistic interpretation, the potential value of a text when performed theatrically facilitates the introduction of multiculturalism to children. 1. Introduction Kamishibai is a type of theatrical performance that offers an alternative way to tell stories to children.

Thesis Summary Aston University The Role of Social Agents in the Translation into English of the Novels of Naguib Mahfouz Linda Ahed Alkhawaja Doctor of Philosophy (by Research) April, 2014 This research investigates the field of translation in an Egyptain context around the work of the Egyptian writer and Nobel Laureate Naguib Mahfouz by adopting Pierre Bourdieu’s sociological framework. Bourdieu’s framework is used to examine the relationship between the field of cultural production and its social agents. The thesis includes investigation in two areas: first, the role of social agents in structuring and restructuring the field of translation, taking Mahfouz’s works as a case study; their role in the production and reception of translations and their practices in the field; and second, the way the field, with its political and socio-cultural factors, has influenced translators’ behaviour and structured their practices.
