Monster of the Twentieth Century
Author: Robert Thomas Tierney
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520961595
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
This extended monograph examines the work of the radical journalist Kotoku Shusui and Japan’s anti-imperialist movement of the early twentieth century. It includes the first English translation of Imperialism (Teikokushugi), Kotoku’s classic 1901 work. Kotoku Shusui was a Japanese socialist, anarchist, and critic of Japan’s imperial expansionism who was executed in 1911 for his alleged participation in a plot to kill the emperor. His Imperialism was one of the first systematic criticisms of imperialism published anywhere in the world. In this seminal text, Kotoku condemned global imperialism as the commandeering of politics by national elites and denounced patriotism and militarism as the principal causes of imperialism. In addition to translating Imperialism, Robert Tierney offers an in-depth study of Kotoku’s text and of the early anti-imperialist movement he led. Tierney places Kotoku’s book within the broader context of early twentieth-century debates on the nature and causes of imperialism. He also presents a detailed account of the different stages of the Japanese anti-imperialist movement. Monster of the Twentieth Century constitutes a major contribution to the intellectual history of modern Japan and to the comparative study of critiques of capitalism and colonialism.

The Ideologies of Japanese Tea
Author: Tim Cross
Publisher: Global Oriental
ISBN: 9004212981
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
This provoking new study of the Japanese tea ceremony (chanoyu) examines the ideological foundation of its place in history and the broader context of Japanese cultural values where it has emerged as a so called ‘quintessential’ component of the culture. It was in fact, Sen Soshitsu Xl, grandmaster of Urasenke, today the most globally prominent tea school, who argued in 1872 that tea should be viewed as the expression of the moral universe of the nation. A practising teamaster himself, the author argues, however, that tea was many other things: it was privilege, politics, power and the lever for passion and commitment in the theatre of war. Through a methodological framework rooted in current approaches, he demonstrates how the iconic images as supposedly timeless examples of Japanese tradition have been the subject of manipulation as ideological tools and speaks to presentations of cultural identity in Japanese society today.

Japanese Documentary Film
Author: Markus Nornes
Publisher: U of Minnesota Press
ISBN: 9780816640454
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
Among Asian countries--where until recently documentary filmmaking was largely the domain of central governments--Japan was exceptional for the vigor of its nonfiction film industry. And yet, for all its aesthetic, historical, and political interest, the Japanese documentary remains little known and largely unstudied outside of Japan. This is the first English-language study of the subject, an enlightening close look at the first fifty years of documentary film theory and practice in Japan. Beginning with films made by foreigners in the nineteenth century and concluding with the first two films made after Japan's surrender in 1945, Abe Mark Nornes moves from a "prehistory of the documentary, " through innovations of the proletarian film movement, to the hardening of style and conventions that started with the Manchurian Incident films and continued through the Pacific War. Nornes draws on a wide variety of archival sources--including Japanese studio records, secret police reports, government memos, letters, military tribunal testimonies, and more--to chart shifts in documentary style against developments in the history of modern Japan.

Separation and Purification by Crystallization
Author: G. D. Botsaris
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
Covering a range of topics, this volume presents crystallization of polymorphs and the problems encountered in the separation of chiral compounds by selective crystallization, as well as aspects of the crystallization of amino acids, proteins, and pharmaceuticals. The introductory section includes state-of-the-art research on secondary nucleation, the mechanism for crystallization of proteins, kinetics of impurity effect on growth, and crystal morphology prediction. Other topics include the use of high-pressure crystallization in industrial processes, precipitation cases for organic and inorganic compounds, precipitation processes by antisolvents, fast reaction precipitation, and isoelectric precipitation.
