Japanese Feminist Debates A Century of Contention on Sex, Love, and Labor【電子書籍】[ Ayako Kano ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Recent years have seen a surge of interest in Japanese feminism and gender history. This new volume brings to light Japan's feminist public sphere, a discursive space in which academic, journalistic, and political voices have long met and sparred over issues that remain controversial to the present day: prostitution, pornography, reproductive rights, the balance between motherhood and paid work, relationships between individual, family, and state. <em>Japanese Feminist Debates: A Century of Contention on Sex, Love, and Labor</em> contributes to this discussion in a number of unique ways.</p> <p>The book is organized around intellectually and politically charged debates, including important recent developments in state feminism and the conservative backlash against it, spearheaded by the current prime minister, Abe Shinz?. Focusing on essential questions that have yet to be resolved, Ayako Kano traces the emergence and development of these controversies in relation to social, cultural, intellectual, and political history. Her focus on the " <em>rondan</em>"ーthe Japanese intellectual public sphereーallows her to show how disputes taking place therein interacted with both popular culture and policy making. Kano argues that these feminist debates explain an important paradox: why Japan is such a highly developed modern nation yet ranks dismally low in gender equality. Part of the answer lies in the contested definitions of gender equality and women's liberation, and this book traces these contentions over the course of modern Japanese history. It also situates these debates in relation to modern Japanese social policy and comparative discussions about welfare regimes.</p> <p>By covering an entire century, <em>Japanese Feminist Debates</em> is able to trace the origins and development of feminist consciousness from the late nineteenth century to the present day. Based on over a decade of research, this wide-ranging, lively, up-to-date book will both spark discussion among specialists grappling with long-enduring subjects of intellectual debate and animate undergraduate and graduate classrooms on modern Japanese women's history and gender studies.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 10,964円

Japonisme in Britain Whistler, Menpes, Henry, Hornel and nineteenth-century Japan【電子書籍】[ Ayako Ono ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Japan held a profound fascination for western artists in the latter half of the nineteenth century and the influence of Japonisme on western art was pervasive. Paradoxically, just as western artists were beginning to find inspiration in Japan and Japanese art, Japan was opening to the western world and beginning a process of thorough modernisation, some have said westernisation. The mastery of western art was included in the programme.<br /> This book examines the nineteenth century art world against this background and explores Japanese influences on four artists working in Britain in particular: the American James McNeill Whistler, the Australian Mortimer Menpes, and the 'Glasgow boys' George Henry and Edward Atkinson Hornel. <em>Japonisme in Britian</em> is richly illustrated throughout.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 9,995円

Science and Societies in Frankfurt am Main【電子書籍】[ Ayako Sakurai ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The nineteenth century saw science move from being the preserve of a small learned elite to a dominant force which influenced society as a whole. Sakurai presents a study of how scientific societies affected the social and political life of a city. As it did not have a university or a centralized government, Frankfurt am Main is an ideal case study of how scientific associationsーfunded by private patronage for the good of the local populaceーbecame an important centre for natural history.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 7,537円

Whistler and Artistic Exchange between Japan and the West After Japonisme in Britain【電子書籍】[ Ayako Ono ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Ono examines cross-cultural artistic exchange between the West and Japan from the late nineteenth century to the early twentieth century.</p> <p>Studies of Japonisme have been dominated by searching out relationships of influence between artworks?trying to identify which specific works influenced a particular artist. Ono argues that a more holistic understanding of 'spillover effects' is necessary in fully comprehending the nuances of these relationships. She bases this argument on documents and works of art in the context of globalisation, looking at the relationships between James McNeill Whistler and others with their contemporaries in the Japanese artistic and literary worlds. This was a more complex two-way exchange than is often appreciated, with Western artists taking inspiration from (to them) new Japanese styles, while Japanese artists and writers were trying to craft a 'modern', more western-influences style to reflect the modern nation of Japan emerging onto the world stage after centuries of relative isolation.</p> <p>A fascinating analysis of the role of globalisation and cultural exchange in the development of new and hybrid artforms, that will be essential reading for scholars of this fascinating period in international art history.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 9,028円

Diagnosing Dissent Hysterics, Deserters, and Conscientious Objectors in Germany during World War One【電子書籍】[ Rebecca Ayako Bennette ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>Although physicians during World War I, and scholars since, have addressed the idea of disorders such as shell shock as inchoate flights into sickness by men unwilling to cope with war's privations, they have given little attention to the agency many soldiers actually possessed to express dissent in a system that medicalized it.</strong> In Germany, these men were called <em>Kriegszitterer</em>, or "war tremblers," for their telltale symptom of uncontrollable shaking. Based on archival research that constitutes the largest study of psychiatric patient files from 1914 to 1918, <em>Diagnosing Dissent</em> examines the important space that wartime psychiatry provided soldiers expressing objection to the war.</p> <p>Rebecca Ayako Bennette argues that the treatment of these soldiers was far less dismissive of real ailments and more conducive to individual expression of protest than we have previously thought. In addition, <em>Diagnosing Dissent</em> provides an important reevaluation of German psychiatry during this period. Bennette's argument fundamentally changes how we interpret central issues such as the strength of the German Rechtsstaat and the continuities or discontinuities between the events of World War I and the atrocities committedーoften in the name of medicine and sometimes by the same physiciansーduring World War II.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,837円

Governing Cross-Border Data Flows Reconciling EU Data Protection and International Trade Law【電子書籍】[ Svetlana Yakovleva ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Governing Cross-Border Data Flows explores how the European Union can simultaneously reconcile and pursue two important legal and policy objectives, namely: protecting fundamental rights guaranteed under the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights (EU Charter) concerning privacy and personal data, while also maintaining and developing a binding, rules-based global trading system to ensure appropriate access to foreign digital markets for EU businesses. The book demonstrates a significant conflict between international trade law and European data privacy law when it comes to the governance of cross-border flows of personal data. To resolve the tensions caused by this clash, the book proposes concrete and detailed ways to ameliorate the situation from both ends (international trade and personal data protection), specifically through reforms of both international trade and chapter V of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). To explain how such reforms could be effectuated, Yakovleva examines the role of discourse in the evolution of trade law in the last two decades. The book also paves the way for the further research necessary to design a fully-fledged reform proposal of the EU framework for the transfer of personal data outside the European Economic Area.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 19,869円

Successful Social Activism and Unintended Market Emergence The Fight Over Foot Health and Fashion in Japan【電子書籍】[ Sayako Miura ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book demonstrates why and how social activism targeting companies can produce unintended consequences. While it is challenging for social movement organizations (SMOs) to successfully change corporate behavior, it is even more difficult or impossible for SMOs to control the spillover effects of success. Successful social activism affects companies and consumers with diverse interests and intentions beyond the initial target of SMOs, which creates various business opportunities. Entrepreneurs are mobilized by the new opportunities that they identify to initiate their own businesses, and the chain of their actions may produce new market categories unintended by the SMO, including ones that are inconsistent with its superordinate goal. This book explores the process by which an SMO succeeds in changing corporate behavior and how this success leads to unintended market emergence by longitudinally examining the shoe industry in postwar Japan. The Japan Institute of Footwear, a private organization, began advocating shoe functionality over fashion in the 1960s and succeeded in changing corporate behavior in the 1980s through learning by doing; its success led to the unintended emergence of new market categories. The book’s findings offer novel theoretical insights into the relationship between social activism and market change. The analysis also helps us understand the historical context of a movement that emerged in 2019, #KuTooーthe word being an amalgam of kutsu (shoes), <em>kuts**?</em> (pain), and #MeTooーand to consider its future.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 15,800円

Well-Intentioned Whiteness Green Urban Development and Black Resistance in Kansas City【電子書籍】[ Chhaya Kolavalli ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book documents how whiteness can take up space in U.S. cities and policies through well-intentioned progressive policy agendas that support green urbanism. Through in-depth ethnographic research in Kansas City, Chhaya Kolavalli explores how urban food projectsーcentral to the city’s approach to green urbanismーare conceived and implemented and how they are perceived by residents of “food deserts,” those intended to benefit from these projects.</p> <p>Through her analysis, Kolavalli examines the narratives and histories that mostly white local food advocates are guided by and offers an alternative urban history of Kansas Cityーone that centers the contributions of Black and brown residents to urban prosperity. She also highlights how displacement of communities of color, through green development, has historically been a key urban development strategy in the city.</p> <p><em>Well-Intentioned Whiteness</em> shows how a myopic focus on green urbanism, as a solution to myriad urban “problems,” ends up reinforcing racial inequity and uplifting structural whiteness. In this context, fine-grained analysis of how whiteness takes up space in our citiesーeven through progressive policy agendasーis more<br /> important. Kolavalli examines this process intimately and, in so doing, fleshes out our understanding of how racial inequities can be (re)created by everyday urban actors.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 4,791円

And now the bold boy is ready to ride off in defense of the future!</p> <p>Two trams, Click and Zam, are cousins. Click goes out for a day on the tracks and before long he’s so tired he doesn’t know where he is or how to get back. All he knows is he’s got to find Zam. Click is looking for Zam and Zam is looking for Click, and though for a while it seems like nobody knows where to find Click, good and faithful Zam is not to be deterred.</p> <p>Peter’s a car, Vasco’s a steamboat, and Mikey’s a plane.

Panchamaya Kosha ? A Path to Unveiling the Self【電子書籍】[ Ashok Alexander ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>Foreword</strong></p> <p>We all battle with conflicts between our external and internal worlds, and scriptures tell us that it is because we don't know who we "really are" (referred to as the Self or Atman in Hindu scriptures), and once we realize the Self, all misery will vanish. As a child, I heard grownups at home discussing about the formless and non-changing Self, and that we are all that Self, in reality. But all I saw around me was nothing but change. My brother who did not have a moustache the previous year grew one the next year.</p> <p>It was then that I got introduced to the dialogue between Sage Ashtavakra and King Janaka about human existence. Ashtavakra says that names and forms cloud the ignorant person's vision, but the wise only sees the Self. But the external world seems to be filled with names and forms, and we seem to be always swimming in the kaleidoscope of names and forms. And then we are told that what we see is all Maya (illusion). How can it be illusion? We can feel a tree with our hands and see with our eyes. And where does Self come in all this? But there is so much written about Self in the Indian scriptures by realized sages. They can't be wrong….</p> <p>Luckily, deep in my adulthood, I got introduced to the book Panchamaya Kosha ? A Path to Unveiling the Self by Ashok Alexander, that put everything in perspective for me. What I liked about Ashok and his book is you can tell that he went through the same roller coaster as many of us. But he persisted in his journey and succeeded, and the outcome is this interesting, engaging, and insightful book.</p> <p>Panchamaya Kosha discussed by Ashok in this book is a yogic model explaining our existence. We are not just our physical body and mind but made up of several interactive levels. Pancha (five) and Kosha (sheaths) is explained in the philosophical treatise Taitriya Upanishad in great detail and provides a holistic framework to work within the various dimensions of human existence. Each of the sheaths mentioned above interacts with each other and defines our existence. The way to reach the Self, according to Taitriya Upanishad, is to peel each of the sheaths one by one. But how do you peel the sheaths? What are the characteristics of these sheaths? How do these sheaths interact with each other and influence our existence? If you are struggling with these questions like I do, this book will help you get the answers. His book also provides you with a framework and a set of tools you will need to navigate the journey to Self.</p> <p>As you will see, Ashok's writing is personal and insightful. The genius of Panchamaya Kosha ? A path to unveiling Self is that it is not just a book. It is built on the author's own practical experience, rather than theoretical rhetoric. He deftly shifts the reader's focus from the external world to the inner world, sheath by sheath. Not only were specific exercises suggested to help the reader peel the sheaths, but the author also provides pointers to recognise and track the progress as you go through the journey, making it an experiential exercise. While knowledge provided in this book gives a broad perspective and ability to communicate the concept, experiencing it offers a deeper understanding, skill development, and personal growth. As a novice traveller on this journey, I found this book extremely helpful, and I am positive, you will too.</p> <p>I love the idea that Ashok has written this book in a manner that everyone can use - From a budding spiritualist like me to advanced seekers, from children to adults through youth. Everyone will find this book applicable and approachable. How often does that happen? So, dive into the book and find your true Self!</p> <p>Vasantha Reddi</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,100円
