The World Congresses were much more strategic in nature than the regional annual conferences and focused mainly on the science centre field itself. Congresses were held every three years on alternating continents/regions and were open to science centre and museum professionals from all over the world. In the first round of Congresses, the order for rotation among continents/regions was established as Europe, India, Asia Pacific, Latin America, North America, and Africa/Middle East. The history of the SCWC is as follows; 1SCWC 1996 Vantaa, Finland 4SCWC 2005 Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 2SCWC 1999 Calcutta, India 5SCWC 2008 Toronto, Ontario, Canada 3SCWC 2002 Canberra, Australia 6SCWC 2011 Cape Town, South Africa After one rotation of the continents through the SCWCs, it was realised that exploring global challenges requires a new form of professional gathering that focuses much more on long term approaches and building alliances and partnerships outside the science centre field. Collaborative partnerships between science centres, industry, policy makers, scientists, global companies and global institutions worldwide needed to be formed in order to expand public opinion across cultural, political, economic and geographical boundaries that recognize science and technology is a key factor to addressing global issues. Therefore, in 2010, the International Programme Committee (IPC), the highest decision making body of the SCWC/SCWS, agreed that beginning in 2014, SCWC would become even more strategic in nature and involve more speakers and delegates from OUTSIDE the science centre field. Based on this, the name became “Science Centre World Summit (SCWS).” The first Summit was held as follows; 17-19 March, 2014 Mechelen, Belgium 1st SCWS Technopolis®, the Flemish Science Centre Theme: “Public engagement for a better world” Following the original rotation, the 2017 Summit will be hosted by Asia Pacific region (including India) at the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation (Miraikan), Tokyo, Japan.. 14-17 November, 2017 Tokyo, Japan 2nd SCWS National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation (Miraikan) Theme: “Connecting the World for a Sustainable Future” 1 The 3rd SCWS will be held in Latin America. The purpose of this document is to invite Latin America institutions to participate the bidding to become the host of the 3rd SCWS in 2020. 1.2 Definition of the Summit The IPC for the SCWS2014 defined the significance and function of the future Summits as follows: 1.2.1 Significance - Advance the science centre/museum field to a higher strategic level than before. - The SCWS should address global issues and set strategic directions for the science centre/museum field. Therefore, the SCWS should aim to be more strategic and visionary than regional network conferences and offer global actions to achieve the goals. 1.2.2 Involvement of entities outside our field - Involve and consult external agencies and associations (UN, governments, industries, research institutions, etc.) in the Summit planning. - Have more than 30% of speakers from outside our field. - Have more than 30% of participants attending from outside our field. 1.2.3 Shape a policy and issue a joint declaration - Engage professionals from all settings such as the arts, sports, business, education, research, technology, government, and more and gain the cooperation of those stakeholders to solve global challenges and take action in some form. - Review the Mechelen Declaration: http://scws2017.org/mechelen-declaration/index.html - The IPC for the SCWS2017 will follow the definition of the SCWS2014, prepare a report on the fulfilling of the Mechelen Declaration, and offer recommendations for further actions. 2 General Information for the bidding of the SCWS2020 2.1 Host Institution - Bidding institutions should be a RedPOP member of good standing. - Bidding institutions should have demonstrated an intensive engagement with other science centres internationally as well as with other networks. - The SCWS2020 venue may be the institution itself, or a dedicated conference centre, provided that it meets space and other requirements. 2.2 Term - The proposed dates of the SCWS2020 should take into account not only dates for host institution activities and local/national/regional network meetings, but also dates for other network meetings, special events, religious holidays, etc. around the world. 2 - The duration of the SCWS2020 should be 3-4 days, with the option of additional days for pre/post-Summit tours or activities. 2.3 Participants - The number of delegates may be up to 500 including those within the science centre field and those external to our field. - Likely delegates are to be CEO’s and senior leaders of science centres, museums, science communication organisations, international agencies (for example UN organisations), international associations (for example in the field of journalism or education), etc. (in other words, decision makers) 2.4 Contents - The programme should include an opening ceremony, at least 3 plenary sessions and a number of parallel sessions. Plenary and other sessions will be based on the theme and topics proposed by the host institution and finally

  • Illustration and the Visual Imagination in Modern Japanese Literature By
    Eyes of the Heart: Illustration and the Visual Imagination in Modern Japanese Literature By Pedro Thiago Ramos Bassoe A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy in Japanese Literature in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Daniel O’Neill, Chair Professor Alan Tansman Professor Beate Fricke Summer 2018 © 2018 Pedro Thiago Ramos Bassoe All Rights Reserved Abstract Eyes of the Heart: Illustration and the Visual Imagination in Modern Japanese Literature by Pedro Thiago Ramos Bassoe Doctor of Philosophy in Japanese Literature University of California, Berkeley Professor Daniel O’Neill, Chair My dissertation investigates the role of images in shaping literary production in Japan from the 1880’s to the 1930’s as writers negotiated shifting relationships of text and image in the literary and visual arts. Throughout the Edo period (1603-1868), works of fiction were liberally illustrated with woodblock printed images, which, especially towards the mid-19th century, had become an essential component of most popular literature in Japan. With the opening of Japan’s borders in the Meiji period (1868-1912), writers who had grown up reading illustrated fiction were exposed to foreign works of literature that largely eschewed the use of illustration as a medium for storytelling, in turn leading them to reevaluate the role of image in their own literary tradition. As authors endeavored to produce a purely text-based form of fiction, modeled in part on the European novel, they began to reject the inclusion of images in their own work.

  • JAPANESE HISTORY Paul Clark, Ph.D
    HUMANITIES INSTITUTE JAPANESE HISTORY Paul Clark, Ph.D Course Description: This course offers an introduction to the history of Japan from pre-history to the present. We will trace the history of Japan in several different epochs. First, we will investigate how Japanese civilization emerged and how early governments were constituted. Second, we will consider the Yamato Clan and the Nara and Heian periods. Third, we will study the rise of the period dominated by warriors, the first shōgunate and the feudal era. Fourth, we will consider how and why the bakufu (tent government--shōgunate) lost its vitality in the late 18th century and why it was unable to deal with the international crisis which led to its demise. We will discuss the irony of how a military coup d’état, initiated by samurai, led to the dissolution of a samurai-based society and to the construction of the modern Japanese state. Along the way we will study how democracy in the Meiji, Taishō and Shōwa eras failed and led to the militarism of the Pacific War. Fifth, we will discern whether or not the American occupation of Japan led to substantive changes within Japanese culture, economics and government. Finally, we will discuss Japan today. In particular, we will examine modern Japanese society, the government and the enduring problem of the economic recession. About the Professor The course was prepared by Paul Clark, Ph.D. who is an East Asia area specialist and Associate Professor of History at West Texas A&M University. Dr. Clark is the author of The Kokugo Revolution: Education, Identity and Language Policy in Imperial Japan (2009) and is the recipient of a 2006 Fulbright-Hays Faculty Research Abroad Fellowship.

    JAPAN LIBRARY Outstanding books, now available in English In Japan, under the auspices of free speech and press, over 80,000 books are published every year, offering a diverse selection of literature to the nation’s readers. In this great ocean of books, we believe there are many works that should be enjoyed by not only a Japanese audience, but by a wider global audience as well. However, many such books, due to the language barrier and the limited number of translations, remain, for the most part, unread overseas. JAPAN LIBRARY is, by publishing specially selected Japanese works in English, here to introduce to the world “the diverse and multi-layered aspects of Japan and Japanese thought” and “the rich and colorful world of Japan.” With this knowledge from Japan, JAPAN LIBRARY hopes to contribute towards the creation of a universal, global knowledge. The books for JAPAN LIBRARY are hand-picked from a wide range of areas, including politics, foreign policy, social studies, culture, philosophy, and science and technology. Furthermore, by offering these works in both traditional and electronic format, JAPAN LIBRARY hopes to present a view of the real and intrinsic Japan for the world to enjoy. Japan possesses troves of timeless knowledge amassed across the ages— treasures that are distinctively Japanese that, nonetheless, transcend history and international borders. JAPAN LIBRARY is loading these treasures onto ships we call books and venturing forth into the open sea. The voyage of these books will cover great distances over time, and reach a countless number of readers across the globe. And once the voyage is complete, the treasure on board will shine anew, as these readers polish them with their own, distinctive intellects and sensibilities.

Cette thèse propose d’analyser l’émergence de cette entité régionale et de son discours culturel dans le but de pallier le manque de recherches antérieures sur la diversité socioculturelle et le régionalisme au Japon. Il y existe, d’une part, une volonté de considérer le Japon comme une entité homogène, et d’autre part, un contexte dans lequel le Japon lui-même prône l’homogénéité de son peuple. Historiquement, ces énoncés ont été réfutés à plusieurs reprises par différents chercheurs et organismes. Entre-temps, sur le plan régional, la diversité devient de moins en moins clairement observable dû à l’urbanisation, aux moyens de transport, à la migration interne et au développement des médias de masse. Cette situation à l'époque post-industrielle a engendré aujourd’hui le discours régionaliste du Kansaï.
