However, the queer theory, which was mainly applied to sociology and history, was not enough supplied for Literary studies. This special issue is one trial for adaptation of Japanese literary studies. Wang Yi was accepted by Junichiro Tanizaki while translating Edgar Allan Poe. It is not a mere reminder, but an awareness of a different kind of cognition.Tanizaki’s cessation of thinking, as if he had fallen in between, is a simple “Oriental hobby”. Wan discussed the process of creating a female image and leading to the creation of it.The handicapped “strange hobby” is a kind of deceptive deconstruction of gender hierarchy.Tanizaki became disruptor of order.

  • Displaying Authority: Guns, Political Legitimacy, and Martial Pageantry in Tokugawa Japan, 1600-1868
    DISPLAYING AUTHORITY: GUNS, POLITICAL LEGITIMACY, AND MARTIAL PAGEANTRY IN TOKUGAWA JAPAN, 1600-1868. Daniele Lauro A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History Chapel Hill 2012 Approved by: Dr. Morgan Pitelka Dr. William M. Fletcher Dr. Wayne Lee © 2012 Daniele Lauro ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT DANIELE LAURO: Displaying authority: guns, political legitimacy, and martial pageantry in Tokugawa Japan, 1600-1868. (Under the direction of Morgan Pitelka) From the end of the sixteenth century on, firearms in Japan are increasingly found in contexts other than the battlefield. A perusal of the Records of the Tokugawa Family (Tokugawa Jikki) - the military clan that ruled Japan from 1603 to 1868 - reveals, for instance, that guns were often involved in ritual practices performed by the warrior elite, such as weddings, funerals, hunting parades, and celebrations of the New Year. Moreover, it was common for both the shogun and the domainal lords (daimyô) to display firearms and other weapons during public audiences and military parades. By considering different ritual practices that involved the display of military power such as daimyo processions to Edo, shogunal pilgrimages to Nikko, military reviews, large-scale hunts and other pageants, this paper argues that during the Tokugawa period guns were often used by the warrior elite as tools to shore up authority, legitimize the political order, and reinforce ideals of warrior identity. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction……………………………………………………………………………..1 Chapter I. Local authority on the move: daimyo processions (daimyô gyôretsu) and the system of alternate attendance (sankin kôtai)……………………………….11 II.

Come experience this healing journey, Miyagi Olle. At long last, a healing journey through magnificent landscapes and rich history < 3 Trails Version > Issue Date: First Edition September 2019 Miyagi Olle Trail, a Healing Journey Matsushima, its picturesque bay dotted with islands large and small, is the start of the journey to Miyagi Prefecture, a region rich with natural beauty. In the west is a range of mountains stretching from Mt. Zao to Mt. Funagata to Mt. Kurikoma. In the center, rice fields stretch out as far as the eye can see, with a beauty that changes from season to sea- son, and is ideal for experiencing traditional culture. The coastal area was badly damaged by tsunami caused by the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, but the coastal and mountain trails are being restored to their former beauty. Disaster became the opportunity which sparked the creation of the Miyagi Olle Trail, and with assistance from the Jeju Olle Foundation, in 2018 the Miyagi Olle Trail was created as a sister trail to those in Jeju (Korea), Kyushu and Mongolia. Miyagi Olle Trail has diverse routes, ranging from trails which travel by the endless stretch of the Pacific Ocean, to the natural richness of forested trails, to country roads with opportunities to meet local res- idents. While there are similarities to the Jeju Olle and Kyushu Olle, Miyagi has its own unique features. Olle trails are characterized by people coexisting with nature, and this is firmly embedded in Miyagi Olle as well.

  • Meiji Restoration
    PHUNC VI A Timeline of Exploration The Meiji Restoration Letter from the Crisis Director Dear Delegates, My name is Jacob Glenister. I’m a sophomore studying Computer Science at Penn State, and as your crisis director I’d like to welcome you to The Meiji Restoration at PHUNC VI. I have loved history for nearly as long as I can remember, at the very least since I first played Rise of Nations when I was five. Ever since, I’ve done everything I can to study and understand history. In addition to all of the history books I’ve read and historical games I’ve played, I’ve been in Model UN for five and a half years now, including one and a half in PSIADA. This is my first time as a crisis director for a committee, but I have served behind the scenes in several committees in the past. As such, if you have any questions about Model UN in general or the way this committee will run in particular, don’t hesitate to ask me. I have been excited to run this committee since I started planning it this spring. I can’t wait to see what creative and interesting ideas you will have and what the future holds for Japan. Sincerely, Jacob Glenister [email protected] Presented by Center for Global Studies 1 Letter from the Chair Dear Delegates, My name is Erfan Shakibaei and I will be your chair for the Meiji Restoration Committee of PHUNC VI. I am a junior here at Penn State majoring in Finance.
