Oceanic Japan
Author: Stefan Huebner
Publisher: University of Hawaii Press
ISBN: 082489927X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 433
Book Description
Japan’s oceans demand our attention. Violent, prolific, and changeful, they define life and death on the archipelago: pushing the shore under the rush of tsunami, charging typhoon circulation, feeding millions, and seeding conflicts over territory and resources. And yet, Japan studies remains largely beholden to a terrestrial view of the world that is at odds with the importance of the sea. This “terrestrial bias” also means that on those occasions when oceans are recognized they are most often presented as dividers or connectors—spaces in between rather than rich ecologies and meaningful sites. Oceanic Japan is meant to help readers re-envision Japanese history in order to show how the seas created the country that we know today. The book convenes a diverse, multinational, multidisciplinary group of scholars to expand the scope of Japan studies and the field of environmental humanities. The chapters draw from the broader turn to the sea—characterized by new oceanic and terraqueous perspectives—developing within these fields and in areas such as Pacific history and Indian Ocean studies. The volume editors' vision is bifocal. On one hand, they aim to reorient East Asian studies and Japan studies to the sea, underlining how oceans have shaped dynamics from the Tokugawa Era forward into the age of empire and the crisis of the Anthropocene. On the other hand, they argue for a more nuanced environmental approach within the burgeoning field of Oceanic studies. Seeing oceanic spaces as more than entrepots or political spheres requires thinking in new, often vertical, volumetric ways. The chapters follow human and non-human actors to recognize the variegation of watery ecologies through winds, tides, coasts, seabeds, and currents such as the Kuroshio and Oyashio, which have always shaped life on the archipelago.

Book Description
“As I was reading, I felt like I appreciated anew all of the beautiful and sacred aspects of love. I cried and felt like I had found something inside of myself that I'd lost. I know I've found one of those books that becomes a heart-friend; one that you read once a year, every year, for the rest of your life.” Laura Brower, Goodreads Reviewer for The Ocean’s Daughter In arm’s reach of The Snow Child and The Light Between Oceans, author Corinne Beenfield brings us a breathtaking tale that reminds us the difference between the ordinary and the extraordinary is often no difference at all. Helen Danner never wanted to return to the empty seaside cottage. Yet six harrowing months after tragedy struck her family, she gets news. Operation Pied Piper, England’s attempt to save the children of the war, is sending young refugees to Wales. So she packs her bags and finds herself at the last place in the world she hoped to be. There, facing the ocean, she asks it to send her just one child. Someone to again love. And then a strange little girl shows up in her life. Lyric, as Helen calls her, can swim beyond any adult’s ability, doesn’t feel cold, and foreign seashells often seem to be waiting for her. And why won’t she speak? Where is her luggage? There are no records of Lyric or a mother and father. With the belief that they are dead or undeserving, Helen begins to love the girl as her own. But as Helen unravels the truth about a world that wants her girl back, she must face a question she doesn’t know if she is still strong enough to answer. Do you choose to love, even if you have to let go? Readers are Loving The Ocean’s Daughter: “This is just one of those books that warms your soul. Gorgeously written with beautiful analogies, and just a touch of magic. It made me cry multiple times, as a mom who always wanted her life to be filled with children. Put it on your must read list!!!” Mallory Pierce “I would have given this book more stars if they would have let me. This book is a jewel!!! Thank you!!!!!!” Stephanie “My favorite part of this book is the way the author can construct the love a parent has for a child. This type of love is so hard to describe, but she does it perfectly. I genuinely felt like her book gives words to how my heart and soul feel about my own children.” Tessa Taylor “A beautiful work of art painted with words. This book had me laughing one minute and crying the next. I absolutely loved it!” Wendy Wall “The author has a unique talent to create a magical fantasy intertwined with real life events. I felt like I was there, and got to experience a whimsical adventure, while being grounded in a believable story.” Amy Peterson “I was sucked into the story and thought about it when I wasn’t reading it and wished I were reading it, which is about all I can ask for in a book.” Lola Copeland “It was not only riveting, but it was completely beautiful. It spoke to me as a mother and a woman. Corinne has a captivating writing style that connects you with the characters. I wept with them more than once while reading this.” Megan Lloyd “I found myself crying both tears of joy and sadness alongside the characters, as moments reminded me of my own experiences with my daughter. And the romance did not disappoint, either!” Kelly Birch “I knew as soon as I started reading that I wouldn’t be able to put this book down. That was yesterday. I was so sucked in. The words are so rich, alive on the page and so sharp you can feel them. I loved this heartwarming, and heartbreaking story.” Amazon Customer The Ocean’s Daughter is a moving gift for mothers, particularly those with foster or adopted children.

Storying the Ecocatastrophe
Author: Helena Duffy
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1040025862
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
How do writers and artists represent the climate catastrophe so that their works stir audiences to political action or at least raise their environmental awareness without, however, appearing didactic? Storying the Ecocatastrophe attempts to answer this question while interrogating the potential of narrative to become a viable political force. The collection of essays achieves this by examining the representational strategies and ideological goals of contemporary cultural productions about climate change. These productions have been created across different genres, such as the traditional novel, dance performance, solarpunk, economic report, collage, and space opera, as well as across different languages and cultures. The volume’s twelve chapters demonstrate that rising temperatures, erratic weather, extinction of species, depletion of resources, and coastal erosion and flooding are an effect of our abusive relationship with nature. They also show that our use of nuclear power, extraction of natural resources and extensive farming, including heavy reliance on pesticides, intersect with intrahuman violence, as fleshed out by heteropatriarchy, racism, (neo)colonialism, and capitalism. They finally argue that human activity has indirectly contributed to other contemporary crises, namely the migrant crisis and the spread of contagious diseases such as Covid-19.
