Prostitutes, Hostesses, and Actresses at the Edge of the Japanese Empire Fragmenting History【電子書籍】[ Nobuko Yamasaki ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Analysing materials from literature and film, this book considers the fates of women who did not or could not buy into the Japanese imperial ideology of "good wives, wise mothers" in support of male empire-building.</p> <p>Although many feminist critics have articulated women’s active roles as dutiful collaborators for the Japanese empire, male-dominated narratives of empire-building have been largely supported and rectified. In contrast, the roles of marginalized women, such as sex workers, women entertainers, hostesses, and <em>hibakusha</em> have rarely been analyzed. This book addresses this intellectual lacuna by closely examining memories, (semi-)autobiographical stories, and newspaper articles, grounded or inspired by lived experiences not only in Japan, but also in Shanghai, Manchukuo, colonial Korea, and the Pacific. Chapters further explore the voices of diasporic Korean women (Zainichi Korean woman born in Japan, as well as Korean American woman born in Korea) whose lives were impacted, intervening ethnocentric narratives that were at the heart of the Japanese empire. An appendix presents the first English translation of a memorable statement on comfort women by former Japanese propaganda actress, Ri K?ran / Yamaguchi Yoshiko.</p> <p>Prostitutes, Hostesses, and Actresses at the Edge of the Japanese Empire will appeal to students and scholars of Japanese literature and film studies, as well as gender, sexuality and postcolonial 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。 8,953円

Learning Critical Reflection Experiences of the Transformative Learning Process【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><em>Learning Critical Reflection</em> documents the actual learning experiences of social work students and practitioners. It explores how a more in-depth understanding of the process of learning, combined with an analysis of how to critically reflect, will help improve the learning process.</p> <p>The contributors are all professionals who have learnt, in a formalised way, how to critically reflect on their practice. They speak in depth, and with feeling, about their experiences, how downsides and upsides worked together to transform the way they understood themselves, their professional identity, and their practice. Existing literature about critical reflection is reviewed, identifying the details of learning, and pulling no punches in recognising the difficulty and complexity of becoming transformed through this learning process. The editors of this book also contribute their own reflections on learning how to teach critical reflection and include the findings of a research study conducted on students’ learning.</p> <p>Edited by two experienced educators, this book showcases the process of learning, from the perspective of the learners, in order that educators and students, managers, supervisors, and frontline practitioners alike, may make the most of opportunities to critically reflect in both educational and workplace settings. It should be considered essential reading for social work students, practitioners, and educators.</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。 8,465円

This collection presents Bailhache's eloquent sermons, characterized by a lyrical prose style that seamlessly marries theological depth with pastoral care. Each sermon is crafted with meticulous attention to both the eloquence of language and the gravity of themes such as redemption, faith, and human suffering, reflecting the broader literary context of early 20th-century Christian thought, where personal piety and social concerns were intertwined with the sermon form. Clement Bailhache, a dedicated minister and scholar, drew upon his rich experience in the pulpit and academia, deeply influenced by his upbringing in a religious household and a robust scholarly environment.

<p>In "The Square of Sevens: An Authoritative Method of Cartomancy with a Prefatory Note," Edward Prime-Stevenson presents a meticulously crafted exploration into the art of cartomancy, a form of divination through cards. The work integrates a blend of analytical rigor and poetic prose, situating cartomancy within both historical and mystical contexts. Prime-Stevenson's approach is not merely instructional; he reflects on the psychological dimensions of reading cards and their significance in personal introspection.

Edward Prime-Stevenson was a notable figure of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, known for his contributions to literature and queer studies.

Living in a time when traditional norms were being challenged, Prime-Stevenson's exploration of cartomancy serves as a reflection of a searching spirit, one that sought to uncover deeper truths through esoteric means. This book is recommended for anyone intrigued by the mystique of cards and their interpretations. Scholars of occult practices, free thinkers, and those curious about psychological insights will find invaluable guidance and inspiration within its pages. "The Square of Sevens" not only legitimizes cartomancy as an art form but also enriches the reader's understanding of their own emotional landscapes.</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。 300円

Further Consideration of the Eldership, the Region of Work, and the Care for the Body of Christ【電子書籍】[ Witness Lee ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In the eldership there should be no pride, no thought of being a hero, and no opinions. These three factors work secretly to frustrate and damage the Body of Christ, and we all need to be warned against them. Instead, in the eldership there should be only truth, the Spirit, Christ, and the church, the Body of Christ.</p> <p>To be those who are in the practicality of the Body, we first need to keep the oneness of the Body. To keep the oneness of the Body is actually to keep the oneness of the Spirit because the Spirit is the reality and the essence of the Body. In addition to keeping the oneness of the Body, we need to maintain a good order in the Body. To keep a pleasant, good, and beautiful order, we need to be subject to one another in the fear of Christ. “Then we will keep the one accord without criticizing, without despising, and without opposing. We should respect one another, help one another, perfect one another in life, and complete one another in work. We should never despise or criticize others. Instead, we should always receive help from others and return help to them…If we take this way, we will be greatly blessed by the Lord’s dear, sweet presence.”</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。 813円

Homes of the London Poor An Inspiring Autobiographical Account by a 19th-Century Social Reformer【電子書籍】[ Octavia Hill ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>"Homes of the London Poor" is both a personal recollection and a social study by Octavia Hill. When Hill began her work, the model dwelling movement had been in existence for twenty years, royal and select committees had sat to examine the problems of urban well-being, and the first of many tranches of legislation aimed at improving working class housing had been passed. From Hill's point of view these had all failed the poorest members of the working class, the unskilled labourers. She found that their landlords routinely ignored their obligations towards their tenants, and that the tenants were too ignorant and oppressed to better themselves. She tried to find new homes for her charges, but there was a severe shortage of available property, and Hill decided that her only solution was to become a landlord herself. In consequence of her diligent work and prudent management, by 1874 she had 15 housing schemes with around 3,000 tenants. Hill's system was based on closely managing not only the buildings but the tenants. She maintained close personal contact with all her tenants, and was strongly opposed to impersonal bureaucratic organizations and to governmental intervention in housing.</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。 300円

The Making of a Racist A Southerner Reflects on Family, History, and the Slave Trade【電子書籍】[ Charles B. Dew ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In this powerful memoir, Charles Dew, one of America’s most respected historians of the South--and particularly its history of slavery--turns the focus on his own life, which began not in the halls of enlightenment but in a society unequivocally committed to segregation.</p> <p>Dew re-creates the midcentury American South of his childhood--in many respects a boy’s paradise, but one stained by Lost Cause revisionism and, worse, by the full brunt of Jim Crow. Through entertainments and "educational" books that belittled African Americans, as well as the living examples of his own family, Dew was indoctrinated in a white supremacy that, at best, was condescendingly paternalistic and, at worst, brutally intolerant. The fear that southern culture, and the "hallowed white male brotherhood," could come undone through the slightest flexibility in the color line gave the Jim Crow mindset its distinctly unyielding quality. Dew recalls his father, in most regards a decent man, becoming livid over a black tradesman daring to use the front, and not the back, door.</p> <p>The second half of the book shows how this former Confederate youth and descendant of Thomas Roderick Dew, one of slavery’s most passionate apologists, went on to reject his racist upbringing and become a scholar of the South and its deeply conflicted history. The centerpiece of Dew’s story is his sobering discovery of a price circular from 1860--an itemized list of humans up for sale. Contemplating this document becomes Dew’s first step in an exploration of antebellum Richmond’s slave trade that investigates the terrible--but, to its white participants, unremarkable--inhumanity inherent in the institution.</p> <p>Dew’s wish with this book is to show how the South of his childhood came into being, poisoning the minds even of honorable people, and to answer the question put to him by Illinois Browning Culver, the African American woman who devoted decades of her life to serving his family: "Charles, why do the grown-ups put so much hate in the children?"</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。 2,622円

Seeking Refuge Birds and Landscapes of the Pacific Flyway【電子書籍】[ Robert M Wilson ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Each fall and spring, millions of birds travel the Pacific Flyway, the westernmost of the four major North American bird migration routes. The landscapes they cross vary from wetlands to farmland to concrete, inhabited not only by wildlife but also by farmers, suburban families, and major cities. In the twentieth century, farmers used the wetlands to irrigate their crops, transforming the landscape and putting migratory birds at risk. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service responded by establishing a series of refuges that stretched from northern Washington to southern California.</p> <p>What emerged from these efforts was a hybrid environment, where the distinctions between irrigated farms and wildlife refuges blurred. Management of the refuges was fraught with conflicting priorities and practices. Farmers and refuge managers harassed birds with shotguns and flares to keep them off private lands, and government pilots took to the air, dropping hand grenades among flocks of geese and herding the startled birds into nearby refuges. Such actions masked the growing connections between refuges and the land around them.</p> <p><em>Seeking Refuge</em> examines the development and management of refuges in the wintering range of migratory birds along the Pacific Flyway. Although this is a history of efforts to conserve migratory birds, the story Robert Wilson tells has considerable salience today. Many of the key places migratory birds use ー the Klamath Basin, California’s Central Valley, the Salton Sea ー are sites of recent contentious debates over water use.
