  • Message from Paul Tough – Principal
    Friday 7th May 2021 MESSAGE FROM PAUL TOUGH – PRINCIPAL Dear Parents, Staff, Students, and Friends of BST, Last week I wrote about BST as a community of caring and supportive members who recognise their obligations and responsibilities to each other within the context of the ongoing pandemic. This week I wanted to use the concept of a community again but in the context of reading. Since joining BST in 2019, it was clear to me that we have many keen, eager and prolific readers throughout the school. You would think that it can be difficult to promote the timeless pleasure of reading a book for enjoyment in a world full of digital distraction. This is not the case at BST, our School is a community of avid and accomplished readers from the Early Years to Years 13, and I have been reminded of this countless times this week in different contexts. The first reminder came as I walked through the secondary library at Showa, where Mrs Grey (our Secondary teacher librarian) talked with a group of Year 7 students who were eagerly discussing their latest read. At the same time, the sounds of joyful reading aloud filled the rest of the room. The second reminder came as I sat in on Mr Girling’s lesson with Y4R, which began with a short reading section from the class text, The Iron Man. To listen to all the children read individually in front of the class with enthusiasm, confidence and passion were truly impressive. While my third reminder came from Mr Stevens as he made me aware of the amazing achievement of Taiga Lewis Tamura in Y6B, who has read a staggering 85 books from this school year's Sakura competition.

Degree awarded June 2011 ii © 2011 Patrick Alan Terry iii THESIS ABSTRACT Patrick Alan Terry Master of Arts Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures June 2011 Title: Space In-Between: Masumura Yasuzo, Japanese New Wave, and Mass Culture Cinema Approved: ________________________________________________ Dr. Daisuke Miyao During the early stage of Japan’s High Economic Growth Period (1955-1970), a group of directors and films, labeled the Japanese New Wave, emerged to strong critical acclaim and scholarly pursuit. Over time, Japanese New Wave Cinema has come to occupy a central position within the narrative history of Japanese film studies. This position has helped introduce many significant films while inadvertently ostracizing or ignoring the much broader landscape of film at this time. This thesis seeks to complexify the New Wave’s central position through the career of Daiei Studios’ director, Masumura Yasuzo.

  • Nakayama Shimpei's Popular Songs in the History Of
    THE RULES OF HEART: NAKAYAMA SHIMPEI'S POPULAR SONGS IN THE HISTORY OF MODERN JAPAN A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN HISTORY DECEMBER 2014 By Patrick M. Patterson Dissertation Committee: Mark McNally, Chairperson James Kraft Christine Yano Jun Yoo Nobuko Ochner For Takako, Matthew, Erin, Charles and Judy I Acknowledgements: I would like to thank my dissertation committee: Mark McNally, James Kraft, Christine Yano, Jun Yoo, and Nobuko Ochner for their patience, encouragement and support. I also want to thank Deborah Forbis for her encouragement and willingness to read and re-read for stylistic errors, and to my colleagues Cynthia Smith and David Panisnick for their support. Thanks also to my parents, who have encouraged me all along. Without these people this dissertation would not have come into existence. Any errors are, of course, solely my responsibility and no doubt occurred in spite of all of the assistance mentioned above. Last, and most important, I wish to thank Takako Patterson, a most valued critic and my inspiration. II Abstract Composer Nakayama Shimpei (1887-1952) wrote more than 300 popular songs in his lifetime. Most are still well known and recorded regularly. An entrepreneur, he found ways to create popular songs that powered Japan’s nascent recording industry in the 1920s and 1930s. An artist, his combination of Japanese and Western musical styles and tropes appealed to Japanese sentiments in a way that not only reflected the historical and social context, but anticipated and explained those historical changes to his listeners.

The Centre’s goal is twofold: to promote world-class research, and to get the policy-relevant results into the hands of key decision-makers. CEPR’s guiding principle is ‘Research excellence with policy relevance’. A registered charity since it was founded in 1983, CEPR is independent of all public and private interest groups. It takes no institutional stand on economic policy matters and its core funding comes from its Institutional Members and sales of publications. Because it draws on such a large network of researchers, its output reflects a broad spectrum of individual viewpoints as well as perspectives drawn from civil society.
