Ideologies in contemporary picture book representations of tales by Miyazawa Kenji

Kilpatrick, Helen Claire January 2004 (has links)
"May 2003". / Thesis (PhD)--Macquarie University, Division of Humanities, Department of English, 2004. / Bibliography: p. 301-332. / Introduction -- The significance of Miyazawa Kenji's ideals in (post) modern Japanese children's literature -- Re-presenting Miyazawa Kenji's tales: cultural coding and discourse analysis -- Tale of "Wildcat and the acorns" (Donguri to Yamaneko): self and subjectivity in the characters and haecceitas in the organic world -- Beyond dualism in "Snow crossing" (Yukiwatan) -- Kenji's "Dekunobõ ideal in "Gõshu the cellist" (Serohiki no Gõshu) and "Kenjũ's park" (Kenjũ kõenrin) -- Beyond the realm of Asura in "The twin stars" (Futago no hoshi) and "Wild pear (Yamanashi) -- The material and immaterial in "The restaurant of many orders (Chũmon no õi ryõriten) -- Conclusion. / This thesis investigates ideologies in contemporary picture books of Miyazawa Kenji's tales from the perspective of the acculturation of children in (post)modern Japan. Miyazawa Kenji (1896-1933) was writing in the early 20'" century, yet he is currently the most prolifically published literary figure in picture book form and these pictorialisations are widely promulgated to children and throughout cultural and educational institutions in Japan. Given Kenji's prominence as a devoutly Buddhist author with a unique position within Japanese literature, the thesis operates on the premise that the picture books are working, inter aha, to decode or encode the inherent Buddhist ideologies of self, identity and subjectivity and that the picture book re-versions are attempting to be 'authentic' to these. (Unlike many other works adapted for picture books, Kenji's original words are left intact.) Such selflother interactions are important to the construction of identity because childhood itself is an ideological construction premised on assumptions about what it means to be a child and what it means to 'be'; in other words, "such fictions are premised on culturally specific ideologies of identity" (McCallum, 1999: 263). Picture books, with their two forms of narrative discourse, pictures and words, are more ideologically powerful than words alone because the pictures also carry attitudes and therefore doubly inscribe both the explicit and implicit ideologies inherent in the words. -- By utilising Miyazawa Kenji's non-humanist Buddhist ideologies as a basis, this investigation compares how different artists are (re-)inscribing these ideals in the most frequently pidorialised versions of his children's tales. It is primarily an investigation into how the artistic responses re-situate or respond to ideologies of self and subjectivity inherent in a select corpus of focused pre-existing texts. Ultimately, the thesis shows how different pictures can shape story and how the implied reader is interpellated into certain subject positions and viewpoints from which to read the texts. This involves an intertextual approach which explores how art and culture interact to imply significance. / Mode of access: World Wide Web. / iv, 332, [31] p. ill. (some col.)

Interpretive and Source-Oriented Approaches: Modern Japanese Free Verse Poetry in English Translation

William Fryer Unknown Date (has links)
This study examines two translation approaches prominent among English translations of modern Japanese free verse poetry. The purpose is twofold: to provide a critical history of the first book-length English translations of individual poets, published over roughly a ten-year period; and to identify and examine, among those publications, works that took a distinctive and challenging translation approach. The main argument is that the chief works examined in this study each present a differing approach that challenges the dominant postwar discourse on translation in the Japanese literary studies community. The study fills a conspicuous gap in translation studies, since it is the first in-depth examination of modern Japanese poetry in translation. It focuses on two translation approaches, specifically “interpretive” and “source-oriented” translation, which have tended to be loosely associated with the vague notions of “free” translation and “literal” translation respectively. The importance of the study stems from its clarified definitions of these approaches through analyses of published translations featuring their rigorous use. It also suggests arguments for and implications of using and identifying these approaches, both for the translator and for translation scholars. Modern poetry was chosen as a genre because it features the two approaches prominently and because it was felt important to focus on a genre somewhat marginalised among publications of Japanese literature in translation. The study focuses in particular on translations published in the period 1968-1978, because this represented a flowering period of publications of modern Japanese poetry, including the first book-length publications of individual poets. Chapter One has two parts: definitions and contexts. The definitions section is a brief discussion of translation theory focusing on views that have gone beyond the “literal” versus “free” argument, and it examines a number of significant statements in the field of translations studies in order to develop useful definitions of key terms used throughout the study. The second half contextualises the significance of the chosen publications in the Japanese literary studies community. This includes a brief history of translation and translation theory focusing on the views of the dominant translators in the early postwar years, including discussions, disagreements or criticisms concerning the “right” way to translate. It also includes an analysis of attitudes towards modern poetry among scholars and translators of Japanese literature and a brief discussion of translations of modern Japanese poetry. Chapter Two examines poet Gary Snyder’s interpretive and transformative translations of Miyazawa Kenji’s (1896-1933) poems “Haru to shura” (Spring and Asura) and “Nusubito” (The Thief). The chapter shows how Snyder’s renditions of these poems can be related to the structure and themes of his own poetry collection The Back Country (1968) in which the translations appeared. By throwing his interpretive reading of these poems into the translations, as well as making some creative adjustments, Snyder allows the translations to fit within the thematic movement of his own collection. This chapter also argues that the act of identifying interpretive approaches in the case of poet-translators can be an an important tool in establishing links between the translations and the poet’s original literary works, and even further links with the poet’s life and philosophy. Chapter Three examines Hiroaki Sato’s translations of Hagiwara Sakutarō (1886-1942) in Howling at the Moon (1978). Sato takes an estranging, source-oriented approach similar to Lawrence Venuti’s concept of “foreignisation”, an approach that signals the difference of the source text and culture by departing from accepted language usage. With Sato’s translations we can observe the estranging effect of the source-oriented approach working in two directions: suggesting the difference of source text syntax from the target language perspective; and giving an equivalent effect of some unusual language use that was already estranging for source language readers. Sato sees the estranging function of Sakutarō’s syntax as an essential element of his poetry, and has developed his whole translation strategy around this view. Chapter Four discusses Cid Corman and Kamaike Susumu’s translations of Kusano Shinpei’s frog poems in frogs &. others. (1969). As with Sato’s versions of Sakutarō, Corman and Kamaike take a source-oriented approach, and their clever use of text selection and ordering as translation strategies has enabled them to convey their interpretation of Kusano Shinpei’s frog poems as directing a defamiliarising gaze back at humans and human society. Rather than aiming for complete linguistic accuracy as Sato does, they focus on a mirror-image source-oriented approach—often reproducing the source text’s word order and line order—not only as a means to suggest Kusano’s syntax, but also as a form of language experimentation and wordplay that enables their translations to stand out as autonomous poetic texts.

Mirrors On The Walls, Eyes In The Sky

Petrarca, Derek 01 January 2009 (has links) (PDF)
Thirteen assorted fairy tales by early 20th century Japanese poet/author Miyazawa Kenji, collected and translated with an analytical introduction by the translator. The introduction explores the presence of "the agent of the outside" in the majority of the author's work and how this literary concept serves to encourage the reader to escape subjective viewpoints.

O objetivo dessa tese é estudar a dinâmica da mudança estrutural usando a noção de setor verticalmente integrado e o modelo de produção com trabalho apenas de Pasinetti (1973, 1981, 1988, 1993). No Capítulo I, “Introdução”, apresentamos o objetivo da tese e a relevância de se usar um modelo multi-setorial de crescimento com taxas de crescimento e comportamento diferenciados tanto dos setores quanto das famílias para lidar com a questão do desenvolvimento econômico e com a mudança estrutural que o caracteriza. A questão do consumo sempre foi negligenciada em modelos de inspiração sraffiana, muito mais preocupados com o lado da produção ao contrário de outras escolas keynesianas. No Capítulo II, fazemos uma extensão ao modelo pasinettiano para contemplar diferentes perfis de consumo e entender como a heterogeneidade das famílias contribui para explicar a mudança estrutural. Verificamos que essa heterogeneidade se mostrou importante para a explicar a necessidade da emergência de instituições, como um banco central, para garantir a estabilidade de preços (através de uma escolha adequada de numerário) e uma taxa justa – no sentido de preservar o trabalho incorporado nas mercadorias - para transferir poder de compra entre as famílias ao longo do tempo (a taxa ‘natural’ de juros de Pasinetti). Uma ilustração numérica do modelo se encontra no ApêndiceA. Apesar da dificuldade da manutenção do pleno emprego em um modelo de mudança estrutural e do impacto da idéia de oferta ilimitada de mão-de-obra na literatura sobre o desenvolvimento econômico, essa abordagem foi ignorada pelas escolas pós-keynesianas. No Capítulo III, é feita uma extensão ao modelo de produção com trabalho apenas para considerar a dualidade entre os setores. O modelo dualista de produção com trabalho apenas e diferentes perfis de consumo é uma interpretação pasinettiana do modelo dualista proposto por Arthur Lewis (1954) do ponto de vista de um modelo de mudança estrutural. O resultado da análise nos pareceu promissor porque ilumina o papel que os setores de subsistência têm na economia, não apenas como reserva de mão-de-obra a ser usada pelos setores modernos para se expandir, mas também para estabilizar a demanda efetiva. Naturalmente, a presença cada vez maior dos setores de serviços na economia é também uma manifestação de mudança estrutural. No Capítulo IV é examinado quanto os setores de serviços contribuem para a produtividade do trabalho da economia como um todo e de cada um dos setores em particular no Brasil entre 1990 e 2003, usando a noção de setor verticalmente integrado desenvolvida por Pasinetti (1973). Os resultados obtidos evidenciam que os setores de serviços têm menor produtividade que os demais setores, mas essa diferença diminui quando consideramos a produtividade total ao invés da produtividade direta. A razão principal é o efeito induzido pela produtividade maior dos outros setores sobre os setores de serviços. Todavia o comportamento dos setores de serviços não é homogêneo, o setor “Comunicações”, no caso, apresenta produtividade direta do trabalho bastante elevada e não muito distante da produtividade total, sendo que o efeito induzido dos setores agrícolas e manufatureiros, apesar de menor do que os outros setores de serviços, ainda é expressivo. A base de dados e as tabelas auxiliares usadas nessa análise estão no Apêndice B. Finalmente, no Capítulo V, “Conclusão”, apresentamos as conclusões da tese e fazemos duas digressões. A primeira digressão, sobre consumo, ressalta a importância do aprendizado nas relações de consumo e a necessidade de se considerar o contexto institucional para se definir o objeto desse aprendizado. Na segunda digressão, sobre o emprego, discutimos como o desemprego (ou subemprego) se manifesta como privação da autonomia do indivíduo e como mecanismo gerador de exclusão social e a necessidade de se identificar o tipo de desenvolvimento econômico que se deseja. Terminamos a tese sugerindo extensões e pesquisas promissoras que podem ser feitas nessa mesma linha de pesquisa. _______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT / Structural changes and unemployment seems to be characteristics of economic development processes. The purpose of this thesis is to study the dynamic of structural change using the notion of vertically integrated sector and the pure labour model developed by Pasinetti (1973, 1981, 1988, 1993). In Chapter I, we present the objective of the thesis and the relevance of using a multi-sectoral growth model with different growth rates and behaviour of both sectors and families to deal with the issue of economic development and structural change. The question of consumption has always been neglected in models of Sraffian inspiration, much more concerned with the production side as opposed to other Keynesian schools. In Chapter II, we extend the pure labour model in order to deal with different consumption profiles and to understand how the heterogeneity of families help to explain the structural change. We found that this heterogeneity proved to be important for explaining the need for the emergence of institutions like a central bank to ensure price stability (through an appropriate choice of numéraire) and a fair rate - to preserve the labour incorporated in commodities - for transferring purchasing power of families over time (the Pasinetti’s 'natural' rate of interest). An illustration of the numerical model is in Appendix A. Despite the difficulty of maintaining full employment in a model of structural change and the impact of the idea of unlimited supply of labour in the literature on economic development, this approach has been ignored by the post-Keynesian schools. In Chapter III, Pasinetti’s pure labour model is extended to consider dualism among sectors. The dual pure labour model with different consumption profiles is a Pasinettian interpretation of the dualistic model of Lewis’ inside structural change model point of view. The result seemed promising because it illuminates the role of the subsistence sector in the economy, not only as a reserve labour force to be used by modern sectors to expand, but also to stabilize the effective demand. Of course, the growing presence of service industries in the economy is also a manifestation of structural change. In Chapter IV, it is examined how much the services sectors contribute to the labour productivity of the economy as a whole and for each of the sectors in particular in Brazil between 1990 and 2003, using the notion of vertically integrated sector developed by Pasinetti (1973). The results show that the services sectors have lower productivity than the other sectors, but the difference diminishes when considering the total productivity instead of direct productivity. The main reason is the effect induced by increased productivity of other sectors on the services sectors. However the behaviour of the services sector is not homogenous, the sector "Communications" in the case, has direct labour productivity very high and not far from the total productivity labour, and the effect produced by the agricultural and manufacturing sectors, although lower the other service sectors, is still significant. The database and the auxiliary tables used in this analysis are in Appendix B. Finally, in Chapter V, we present the conclusions of the thesis and make two digressions. The first digression, on consumption, highlights the importance of learning in consumer relations and the need to consider the institutional context to define the object of learning. In the second digression, on the employment, we discussed how the unemployment (or underemployment) is expressed as the deprivation of personal autonomy and as the source of social exclusion and the need to identify the type of economic development that we want. The thesis is ended by suggesting extensions and promising research that can be made on the same line of research.
