Publisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 0791485382
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 213
Book Description
Fanning the Flames examines the worlds of fans in the exuberant and commercialized popular culture of contemporary Japan. The works collected here profile denizens of all-night rap clubs; sumo stable patrons; passionate fan clubs of a professional baseball team; enthusiasts of traditional rakugo storytelling; a club of middle-aged female fans of a popular music star; youthful followers of Japan's longest-running rock band; vinyl record collectors; and a thriving community of girls and women who produce and devour amateur comics. Grounded in close, often extended fieldwork with the fans themselves, each case study is an effort to understand both the personal pleasures and political economies of fandoms. The contributors explore the many ways that fans in and of Japanese mass culture actively search for intimacy and identity amid the powerful corporate structures that produce the leisure and entertainment of today's Japan.

The Role of Dictionary Use in the Comprehension of Idiom Variants
Author: Renata Szczepaniak
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter
ISBN: 3110891719
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 169
Book Description
The book takes up the subject of dictionary use from the perspective of advanced learners. The study aims to explore the effects of the use of a monolingual learner’s dictionary on students’ performance in a complex comprehension task, i.e. the task of interpreting fragments with modified idioms, which often disrupt the fluent reading process. The theoretical part summarises the results of lexicographic research in the field of receptive dictionary use and discusses its methodological aspects. Moreover, it introduces relevant elements of the reading theory and analyses the nature of idiomatic expressions, their transformations in particular, from a psycholinguistic point of view. Finally, problems connected with the presentation of idioms in monolingual learner’s dictionaries are highlighted. The major, empirical part reports on an experiment, whose aim was to find connections between the consultation process, the way of presenting lexicographic information on idioms, and comprehension scores. The results reveal a mildly positive influence of the monolingual learner’s dictionary on reading comprehension performance. Among the reasons for underachievement were misinterpretation of entries and insufficient processing of dictionary information in context.

Pages : 283
Book Description
I dont know that it was ever my plan to write a book. Perhaps my pencil thought to do so, for it has watched, measured and faithfully recorded the joys, sorrows, searching and truths that have accompanied my days. My pencil seems to be the most honest part of me, for it is more discriminating in its thought processes; more discerning of Truth, values, choices and the reality with which they pave the path of our eternity. Not so prone to emotions, my pencil has not been afraid to ask the hard questions and record the journey that led to the specific insights and revelations that have continually shaped my thoughts, and thereby my choices and my life. I hope my pencil speaks to you in kind, opens your ear and your heart to the sound of another Voice; a Voice that speaks to your soul of things large and small, common and those thought impossible. It is my sincere hope that within my pages you will find a word fitly spoken, one that speaks challenge and hope to your soul, causes your countenance to be forever changed; for when we know change, we transform the circle of humanity entrusted to our care.
