Linguistics, Literature and Culture
Autor: Shakila Abdul Manan , Hajar Abdul Rahim
Número de Páginas: 446This book documents the changing realities in the fields of linguistics, literature and culture in Asia, resulting from globalization, modernisation and rapid technological development. It consists of sixteen essays by academics and researchers around the world, reflecting on the interface between the global and the local, and its impact on the local and regional languages, literatures and cultures of Asia. This scenario, which exemplifies language contact in action, is captured by the book mainly to demonstrate that linguistic negotiations, appropriations and indeed changes are not one-way. As such, their implications on language use, language choice, language policy and planning, literacy and pedagogy, identity, subjectivity and culture need to be closely examined. The uniqueness of this book lies in its attempt to showcase original research in a variety of multicultural settings. Its multi- and cross-disciplinary approach will appeal to a wide spectrum of readers from diverse backgrounds. This book will serve as a useful reference that is both scholarly and informative for researchers as well as academics in the fields of linguistics, literature and culture.

Network Power
Autor: Peter J. Katzenstein , Takashi Shiraishi
Número de Páginas: 414This book examines regional dynamics in contemporary east and southeast Asia, scrutinizing the effects of Japanese dominance on the politics, economics, and cultures of the area. The contributors ask whether Japan has now attained, through sheer economic power and its political and cultural consequences, the predominance it once sought by overtly military means. The discussion is framed by the profound changes of the past decade. Since the end of the Cold War and the breakup of the Soviet Union, regional dynamics increasingly shape international and national developments. This volume places Japan's role in Asian regionalism in a broader comparative perspective with European regionalism and the role Germany plays. It assesses the competitive logics of continental and coastal primacy in China. In starkest form, the question addressed is whether Chinese or Japanese domination of the Asian region is more likely. Between a neo-mercantilist emphasis on the world's movement toward relatively closed regional blocs and an opposing liberal view that global markets are creating convergent pressures across all national boundaries and regional divides, this book takes a middle position. Asian...
Exploring AI Implications on Law, Governance, and Industry
Autor: Chakraborty, Swati
Número de Páginas: 462The evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) reshapes modern society, presenting complex challenges and opportunities across law, governance, and industry. As AI systems are integrated into decision-making processes, they challenge traditional frameworks of accountability, fairness, and transparency. In law, questions about liability, privacy, and human rights take on new meanings as AI technologies are used to automate legal analysis, predict outcomes, and assist in judicial decision-making. In governance, AI has the potential to enhance public administration through efficient systems, and raises concerns about surveillance, bias, and the erosion of civil liberties. Industries are witnessing transformative shifts as AI drives innovation, optimizes operations, and redefines workforce dynamics, introducing new ethical dilemmas and regulatory gaps. As these technologies advance, it is essential to understand their broader societal impacts and develop frameworks that ensure they are harnessed in beneficial ways. Exploring AI Implications on Law, Governance, and Industry examines the integration of intelligent technologies into business and government sectors. It offers solutions to...
Worlds Enough and Time
Autor: Gary Westfahl , George Slusser , David A. Leiby
Número de Páginas: 207With our lives firmly controlled by the steady pace of time, humans have yearned for ways to escape its constraints, and authors have responded with narratives about traveling far into the past or future, reversing the flow of time, or creating alternate universes where Napoleon was triumphant at Waterloo or the South won the Civil War. Writers ranging from Dante and Lewis Carroll to Philip K. Dick and Martin Amis have probed into the workings of time, and an overwhelming desire to master time reverberates throughout popular culture. This book considers how imaginative works involving time and time travel reflect ongoing scientific concerns and examine the human condition. The scope of the volume is unusually wide, covering such topics as Dante, the major novels of the 19th century, and stories and films of the 1990s. The book concludes with a lengthy bibliography of short stories and novels, films and television programs, and nonfiction works that feature time travel or speculations about time. With a roster of contributors that includes several of the field's major scholars, this book offers many new insights into this fascinating subject.
Soft Power Superpowers
Autor: Yasushi Watanabe , David L Mcconnell
Número de Páginas: 346The term "soft power" describes a country's ability to get what it wants by attracting rather than coercing others - by engaging hearts and minds through cultural and political values and foreign policies that other countries see as legitimate and conducive to their own interests.This book analyzes the soft power assets of the United States and Japan, and how they contributed to one of the most successful, if unlikely, bilateral relationships of the twentieth century. Sponsored by the U.S. Social Science Research Council and the Japan Foundation's Center for Global Partnership, the book brings together anthropologists, political scientists, historians, economists, diplomats, and others to explore the multiple axes of soft power that operate in the U.S.-Japanese relationship, and between the United States and Japan and other regions of the world.The contributors move beyond an "either-or" concept of hard versus soft power to a more dynamic interpretation, and demonstrate the important role of non-state actors in wielding soft power. They show how public diplomacy on both sides of the Pacific - bolstered by less formal influences such as popular cultural icons, product brands,...

Culture populaire et enseignement des arts
Autor: Moniques Richard
Número de Páginas: 274Quel rôle joue la culture populaire dans la formation de l'identité des jeunes ? Quelles sont les valeurs qu'elle véhicule ? Comment permettre aux enseignants et aux élèves de se l'approprier ? À l'heure des communications de masse et des réformes éducatives, il est urgent d'encourager les jeunes à construire leur propre identité, à s'ouvrir à l'altérité et à anticiper leur avenir. Inspirée de la métaphore du miroir, l'auteure propose le concept de l'identité permutable comme moyen de s'adapter aux changements sociaux et culturels, et celui de l'art comme seuil afin de faciliter le passage entre les cultures.

Cet ouvrage s'adresse à tous ceux qui s'intéressent à l'enseignement des arts, à l'apprentissage des jeunes ou aux diverses formes de culture : culture populaire, culture scolaire, culture des jeunes et culture savante.

The Courteous Power
Autor: John D. Ciorciari , Kiyoteru Tsutsui
Número de Páginas: 333The Courteous Power seeks to provide a nuanced view of the current relationship between Japan and Southeast Asia. Much of the current scholarship on East–Southeast Asian engagement has focused on the multidimensional chess game playing out between China and Japan, as the dominant post-imperialist powers. Alternatively, there has been renewed attention on ASEAN and other Southeast Asian–centered initiatives, explicitly minimizing the influence of East Asia in the region. Given the urgency of understanding the careful balance in the Indo-Pacific region, this volume brings together scholars to examine the history and current engagement from a variety of perspectives, ranging from economic and political, to the cultural and technological, while also focusing more clearly on the specific relationship between the region and Japan.

The Oxford Handbook of Ethics of AI
Autor: Markus D. Dubber , Frank Pasquale , Sunit Das
Número de Páginas: 896This volume tackles a quickly-evolving field of inquiry, mapping the existing discourse as part of a general attempt to place current developments in historical context; at the same time, breaking new ground in taking on novel subjects and pursuing fresh approaches. The term "A.I." is used to refer to a broad range of phenomena, from machine learning and data mining to artificial general intelligence. The recent advent of more sophisticated AI systems, which function with partial or full autonomy and are capable of tasks which require learning and 'intelligence', presents difficult ethical questions, and has drawn concerns from many quarters about individual and societal welfare, democratic decision-making, moral agency, and the prevention of harm. This work ranges from explorations of normative constraints on specific applications of machine learning algorithms today-in everyday medical practice, for instance-to reflections on the (potential) status of AI as a form of consciousness with attendant rights and duties and, more generally still, on the conceptual terms and frameworks necessarily to understand tasks requiring intelligence, whether "human" or "A.I."

Weird Confucius
Autor: Zhao Lu
Número de Páginas: 241Spanning antiquity until the present, Zhao Lu analyses the eclectic and fictitious representations of Confucius that have been widely celebrated by communities of people throughout history. While mainstream scholarship mostly considers Confucius in terms of his role as a celebrated man of wisdom and as a teacher with a humanistic worldview, Zhao addresses the weirder representations. He considers depictions of Confucius as a prophet, a fortune-teller, a powerful demon hunter, a shrewd villain of 19th century American newspapers, an embodiment of feudal evils in the Cultural Revolution, and as a cute friend. Zhao asks why some groups would risk contradicting the well-accepted image of Confucius with such representations and shows how these illustrations reflect the specific anxieties of these communities. He reveals not only how people across history perceived Confucius in diverse ways, but more importantly how they used Confucius in daily life, ranging from calming their anxiety about the future, to legitimizing a dynasty, stereotyping Chinese people, and even to forging a new sense of history.

Administering Affect
Autor: Daniel White
Número de Páginas: 336How do the worlds that state administrators manage become the feelings publics embody? In Administering Affect, Daniel White addresses this question by documenting the rise of a new national figure he calls "Pop-Culture Japan." Emerging in the wake of Japan's dramatic economic decline in the early 1990s, Pop-Culture Japan reflected the hopes of Japanese state bureaucrats and political elites seeking to recover their country's standing on the global stage. White argues that due to growing regional competitiveness and geopolitical tension in East Asia in recent decades, Japan's state bureaucrats increasingly targeted political anxiety as a national problem and built a new national image based on pop-culture branding as a remedy. Based on sixteen months of ethnographic fieldwork among rarely accessible government bureaucrats, Administering Affect examines the fascinating connection between state administration and public sentiment. White analyzes various creative policy figures of Pop-Culture Japan, such as anime diplomats, "Cool Japan" branding campaigns, and the so-called "Ambassadors of Cute," in order to illustrate a powerful link between practices of managing national culture...

Cultura manga
Autor: Oriol Estrada
Número de Páginas: 226Conozca la evolución del manga a partir de 80 historias seleccionadas que permiten entender el éxito del cómic japonés A mediados del siglo pasado, toda una generación de mangakas se lanzó a dibujar historias y aventuras con una estética y un grafismo que impactaron de inmediato en la sociedad japonesa, que de inmediato se trasladó al resto del mundo. Desde entonces hasta ahora, autores como Tezuka Osamu, Mizuki Shigeru o Kojima Gōseki o revistas como la "Shōnen Magazine" han cargado con la mochila de popularizar un género que ha llevado sus ventas a cifras exorbitantes. Este libro repasa la historia del manga moderno desde sus inicios, pautando cómo ha sido su evolución y los factores históricos, sociales, económicos y culturales que lo han condicionado, para a continuación entretenerse en subrayar los principales títulos que han llegado hasta nosotros y seleccionan¬do los autores y autoras indispensables de un género que no ha parado de crecer desde entonces. • "La nueva isla del tesoro", de Sakai Shichima y Tezuka Osamu, un punto de inflexión en el manga moderno. • "Doraemon", de Fujiko F.

The Toho Studios Story
Autor: Stuart Galbraith Iv
Número de Páginas: 556Since its inception in 1933, Toho Co., Ltd., Japan's most famous movie production company and distributor, has produced and/or distributed some of the most notable films ever to come out of Asia, including Seven Samurai, Godzilla, When a Woman Ascends the Stairs, Kwaidan, Woman in the Dunes, Ran, Shall We Dance?, Ringu, and Spirited Away. While the western world often defines Toho by its iconic classics, which include the Godzilla franchise and many of the greatest films of the legendary director Akira Kurosawa and actor Toshiro Mifune, these pictures represent but a tiny fraction of Toho's rich history. The Toho Studios Story: A History and Complete Filmography provides a complete picture of every Toho feature the Japanese studio produced and released—as well as foreign films that it distributed—during its first 75 years. Presented chronologically, each entry in the filmography includes, where applicable, the original Japanese title, a direct translation of that title, the film's international, U.S. release, and alternate titles; production credits, including each film's producers, director, screenwriters, cinematographers, art directors, and composers, among others; casts...

Globalization
Autor: Arjun Appadurai
Número de Páginas: 355Edited by one of the most prominent scholars in the field and including a distinguished group of contributors, this collection of essays makes a striking intervention in the increasingly heated debates surrounding the cultural dimensions of globalization. While including discussions about what globalization is and whether it is a meaningful term, the volume focuses in particular on the way that changing sites—local, regional, diasporic—are the scenes of emergent forms of sovereignty in which matters of style, sensibility, and ethos articulate new legalities and new kinds of violence. Seeking an alternative to the dead-end debate between those who see globalization as a phenomenon wholly without precedent and those who see it simply as modernization, imperialism, or global capitalism with a new face, the contributors seek to illuminate how space and time are transforming each other in special ways in the present era. They examine how this complex transformation involves changes in the situation of the nation, the state, and the city. While exploring distinct regions—China, Africa, South America, Europe—and representing different disciplines and genres—anthropology,...
