All the lecturers of the Department of English Letters of Sanata Dharma University deserve my thankful expression since they had given me knowledge when I was still a student. I say ‘thank you’ to the secretariat officer, Mbak Ninik, since she had helped me do all the administration process patiently and friendly.

Revealing Consequences of Practicing Liberal Feminist Ideas as Experienced by the Main Character Noe Ito in Harumi Setouchi’s Beauty in Disarray. Yogyakarta: Department of English Letters, Faculty of Letters, Sanata Dharma University, 2009. The Taisho era (1912 - 1926) in Japan was a period of the socio-liberal turbulence and radical change. Almost all of radical movements were done by the socialists, anarchists, and feminists. They demanded changes in governance system, from feudal into democratic one, and also changes in the social order of the society. They got much opposition from the government. Many of them ended up being murdered because of their actions. Based on this background, this research tries to reveal the life of one of the feminists living in that era, Noe Ito, in Harumi Setouchi’s Beauty in Disarray. The complex life of Noe Ito – beginning from the development of her way of thinking and her characterization, the liberal feminism ideology she practiced, her involvement in the huge movements in Japan, and the consequences as the result of her actions – are very interesting to be discussed. There are four problems formulated in this research. The first problem is how Noe’s characteristics are described in the novel. The second one is how Noe Ito got the idea of feminism and the background of her learning feminist thoughts perceived from her experiences and the education she got from her closed influential people. The result of the analysis of the second problem will be used to answer the third problem: how the ideology of liberal feminism was practiced in Noe Ito’s everyday life through her way of thinking and her attitude. The fourth problem is revealing what kind of consequences Noe experienced and her family as the result of practicing the ideology of liberal feminism. The writer used feminism approach to surge those problems above. In addition, the theory of character and characterization, theory of liberal feminism, background patriarchal society in Taisho era, and review on women movement in Japan were needed in this research. Meanwhile, the method used was library research. The result of all the analyses after answering those four formulated problems above showed that Noe’s intellectuality, one of her characteristics, made her easier in comprehending feminist ideas as well as being responsive about women’s problem in her society. Noe’s critical attitude was shown through her attitudes, for examples, her criticism toward the arranged marriage system, subordination of women, and the old-fashioned idea which positioned women just in the whirlpool of domestic jobs. Her courageous characteristic, supported by feminism thought, was reflected in her actions: balking the arranged marriage, declaring herself as New Woman, and influencing women’s liberation. The culmination of Noe’s life, after the sequence of the consequences – humiliation, poverty,

  • Black Flag White Masks: Anti-Racism and Anarchist Historiography
    Black Flag White Masks: Anti-Racism and Anarchist Historiography Süreyyya Evren1 Abstract Dominant histories of anarchism rely on a historical framework that ill fits anarchism. Mainstream anarchist historiography is not only blind to non-Western elements of historical anarchism, it also misses the very nature of fin de siècle world radicalism and the contexts in which activists and movements flourished. Instead of being interested in the network of (anarchist) radicalism (worldwide), political historiography has built a linear narrative which begins from a particular geographical and cultural framework, driven by the great ideas of a few father figures and marked by decisive moments that subsequently frame the historical compart- mentalization of the past. Today, colonialism/anti-colonialism and imperialism/anti-imperialism both hold a secondary place in contemporary anarchist studies. This is strange considering the importance of these issues in world political history. And the neglect allows us to speculate on the ways in which the priorities might change if Eurocentric anarchist histories were challenged. This piece aims to discuss Eurocentrism imposed upon the anarchist past in the form of histories of anarchism. What would be the consequences of one such attempt, and how can we reimagine the anarchist past after such a critique? Introduction Black Flag White Masks refers to the famous Frantz Fanon book, Black Skin White Masks, a classic in anti-colonial studies, and it also refers to hidden racial issues in the history of the black flag (i.e., anarchism). Could there be hidden ethnic hierarchies in the main logic of anarchism's histories? The huge difference between the anarchist past and the histories of anarchism creates the gap here.

  • THREE REFLECTIONS on the WAY TOTHEGALLOWS Kanno Susako
    50 PEOPLE’S RIGHTS AND NATIONAL RIGHTS :lncl only those with urgent business wcrc allowed to enter. The crowd THREE kept shouting, %i. banzai, freed prisoners, banzai!” There were fire- works, and sword dancers whirled about. Master Nakae told me that today is the day when we revere women REFLECTIONS ON THE WAY above men. I was. he said, the single bright red flower in a field of green. hly work as the only woman among men was exceptional and was one of TOTHEGALLOWS the most notable aspects of the Osaka incident. He made me sit on top of the table and showered me with drinks and food. We did not get back to Kanno Susako our Inn until nightfall. By the turn of the century, many of the early Meiji advocates of people’s rights had joined the establishment, no longer offering a radical opposi- tion to the vested interests. The socialists, who were by now beginning to raise their voices on behalf of social justice and political freedom, were, as Fukuda Hideko observed, the true heirs of the early Meiji popular-rights movement. The first woman to stake her life in this cause was Kanno Sugako (1881-191 I). Born in Osaka, Kanno’s early life was marked by difficulty and struggle, Her father’s fairly successful small mining business had be- gun to falter by the time she was eight or nine. Furthermore, Kanno’s mother died when she was ten. Her father remarried, but unfortunately, her stepmother turned out to be the proverbial sadistic stepmother, who was convinced that Kanno was cunning and evil because she was born in the year of the serpent (&ano~o-no-mi).

  • Tolstoy and the Structures of Agrarian-Buddhist Utopianism in Taisho¯ Japan
    religions Article Future Perfect: Tolstoy and the Structures of Agrarian-Buddhist Utopianism in Taisho¯ Japan James Mark Shields ID Comparative Humanities Program, Bucknell University, Lewisburg, PA 17837, USA; [email protected] Received: 22 April 2018; Accepted: 13 May 2018; Published: 16 May 2018 Abstract: This study focuses on the role played by the work of Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910) in shaping socialism and agrarian-Buddhist utopianism in Japan. As Japanese translations of Tolstoy’s fiction and philosophy, and accounts of his life became more available at the end of the 19th century, his ideas on the individual, religion, society, and politics had a tremendous impact on the generation coming of age in the 1900s and his popularity grew among young intellectuals. One important legacy of Tolstoy in Japan is his particular concern with the peasantry and agricultural reform. Among those inspired by Tolstoy and the narodniki lifestyle, three individuals, Tokutomi Roka, Eto Tekirei, and Mushakoji¯ Saneatsu illustrate how prominent writers and thinkers adopted the master’s lifestyle and attempted to put his ideas into practice. In the spirit of the New Buddhists of late Meiji, they envisioned a comprehensive lifestyle structure. As Eto Tekirei moved to the village of Takaido with the assistance of Tokutomi Roka, he called his new home Hyakusho¯ Aidoj¯ o¯ (literally, Farmers Love Training Ground). He and his family endeavored to follow a Tolstoyan life, which included labor, philosophy, art, religion, society, and politics, a grand project that he saw as a “non-religious religion.” As such, Tekirei’s utopian vision might be conceived as an experiment in “alter-modernity.” Keywords: violence; nonviolence; Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910); utopianism; Japanese Buddhism; Tokutomi Roka (1868–1927); Eto Tekirei (1880–1944); Mushakoji¯ Saneatsu (1885–1976); nonresistance; agrarian way of life 1.

  • Alternative Opening and Making of Modern Japan Sho Konishi
    Alternative Opening and Making of Modern Japan Sho Konishi, Anarchist Modernity: Cooperatism and Japanese-Russian Intellectual Relations in Modern Japan. Harvard East Asian Monographs #356. 2013. The back-cover describes the book: “Mid-nineteenth century Russian radicals who witnessed the Meiji Restoration saw it as the most sweeping revolution in recent history and the impetus for future global progress. Acting outside imperial encounters, they initiated underground transnational networks with Japan. Prominent intellectuals and cultural figures …… pursued these unofficial relationships through correspondence, travel, and networking, despite diplomatic and military conflicts between their respective nations.” It “uncovers a major current in Japanese intellectual and cultural life between 1860 and 1930 that might be described as ‘cooperatist anarchist modernity’—a commitment to realizing a modern society through mutual aid and voluntary activity, without the intervention of state governance. These efforts later crystallized into such movements as the Nonwar Movement, Esperantism, and the popularization of the natural sciences.” This 411-page book is indeed an admirable scholarship of history research with 31-page bibliography of archives and special collections, newspapers, journals, and other serials, books, articles and unpublished papers in Japan, Russia and the U.S. From the point of Japanese history research, I only want to find Chinese characters (kanji) of original Japanese in the Index, since one spelling in English usually corresponds to different kanji or meaning and it is easy now to print out kanji in a book. The book starts like a novel. “In 1861, in the little port town of Hakodate, one of the several cities recently opened by the Japanese government to foreigners, an American captain bustled about his ship, preparing for a dinner party that would ring in the arrival of a new cosmopolitan era in Japan.” (p.1).

    Volume 5 | Issue 11 | Article ID 2569 | Nov 03, 2007 The Asia-Pacific Journal | Japan Focus Murder of an Anarchist Recalled: Suppression of News in the Wake of the 1923 Tokyo Earthquake The Asahi Shinbun Cultural Research Center Murder of an Anarchist Recalled: Suppression of News in the Wake of the 1923 Tokyo Earthquake The Asahi Shinbun The murders recalled below were facilitated by the enormous earthquake, with countless aftershocks in the ensuing 24 hours, that hit the Tokyo-Yokohama area at about noon on September 1, 1923. Chaos ensued as the population took to the streets, dodging debris and fallen buildings, and spreading rumors as they ran. Cooking fires had been burning in most homes, and when the buildings collapsed, the fires spread rapidly, sooner or later killing over 100,000 people and leaving 70-80% of the population homeless. Among the rumors spread in the days and weeks following the shock was the report that Korean residents were looting, setting fires, and committing other crimes. The Osugi Sakae rumors led to the formation of local vigilante organizations, some of which set out to punish When recounted today, eighty-some years later, Koreans and ended up killing large numbers – the incident and its suppression by media at least several hundred, and perhaps several under the thumb of government censorship thousand.

    CHINA Science in Contemporary China Edited by Leo A. Orleans. With the assistance of Caroline Davidson. This is the first comprehensive survey of Chinese science since 1961, a collection of 28 papers by distinguished American scientists describing developments of the late 1970's in the natural and social sciences, and several areas of tech- nology. Chapters dealing with individual disciplines include a brief historical sketch, an account of current research, a description of the relevant research centers and scientific jour- nals, and an assessment of the subject's importance within China's developmental priorities. Nearly all the contributors have recently visited China. $35.00 Dictionary of Chinese Law and Government Chinese-English Philip R. Bilancia. An indispensable tool for anyone studying the institutional life of contemporary China, this is an entirely new dictionary of more than 25,000 Chinese terms, at least 15,000 examples of usage, and more than 30,000 cross- references. The coverage extends from T939 to 1977, a period of enormous terminological complexity, and treats every aspect of legal and administrative terminology, as well as terms of political, historical, and sociological interest. The sources are largely from the Communist period, but pre-1949 usage is well represented.
