Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Songs of the Bamboo does not only record Vietnamese historical events but also reproduces folk tales and comic stories. My book is a rehabilitation of the present vicissitudes. Wasn't the 9/11 event a coup of terror and a clash between civilizations? In order to cure it, instead of being at war against each other, I would like to present my civilization of the bamboo, which would imply that we are only different in order to be one, since all of us look for human perfection and life happiness. My presentation of the bamboo civilization might not be complete, since now that I am away from my country, I can only rely on my memory. Bamboo is valued for its intrepidity. It cannot be broken by the most blustering wind. Therefore, the bamboo incarnates the virtue of the "royal man" (quan tu), or the chivalrous man so idealized by the Vietnamese civilization that it can often be called the civilization of the bamboo. Thus, our bamboo sings, followed by the wind as a humming accompaniment. Its songs present a variety of historical events and country folklore, with legends I am trying to reproduce as ricochets on the surface of an unknown pond. Xuan-Lan Nguyen was a professor of English at the Universities of Saigon and Hue in Vietnam. She now teaches English courses at Montgomery College in Maryland. Her earlier three books describe the struggles of the Vietnamese people under communist rule, with mass imprisonment, state confiscation of people's properties by expelling them from their homes, and sending them to live and work in wild forests and on the coastline.

Download or read book Writing Technology in Meiji Japan written by Seth Jacobowitz and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2020-05-11 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing Technology in Meiji Japan boldly rethinks the origins of modern Japanese language, literature, and visual culture from the perspective of media history. Drawing upon methodological insights by Friedrich Kittler and extensive archival research, Seth Jacobowitz investigates a range of epistemic transformations in the Meiji era (1868–1912), from the rise of communication networks such as telegraph and post to debates over national language and script reform. He documents the changing discursive practices and conceptual constellations that reshaped the verbal, visual, and literary regimes from the Tokugawa era. These changes culminate in the discovery of a new vernacular literary style from the shorthand transcriptions of theatrical storytelling (rakugo) that was subsequently championed by major writers such as Masaoka Shiki and Natsume Sōseki as the basis for a new mode of transparently objective, “transcriptive” realism. The birth of modern Japanese literature is thus located not only in shorthand alone, but within the emergent, multimedia channels that were arriving from the West. This book represents the first systematic study of the ways in which media and inscriptive technologies available in Japan at its threshold of modernization in the late nineteenth to early twentieth century shaped and brought into being modern Japanese literature.

Download or read book The Columbia Anthology of Modern Japanese Literature written by J. Thomas Rimer and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2011-11-15 with total page 981 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Featuring choice selections from the core anthologies The Columbia Anthology of Modern Japanese Literature: From Restoration to Occupation, 1868–1945, and The Columbia Anthology of Modern Japanese Literature: From 1945 to the Present, this collection offers a concise yet remarkably rich introduction to the fiction, poetry, drama, and essays of Japan's modern encounter with the West. Spanning a period of exceptional invention and transition, this volume is not only a critical companion to courses on Japanese literary and intellectual development but also an essential reference for scholarship on Japanese history, culture, and interactions with the East and West. The first half covers the three major styles of literary expression that informed Japanese writing and performance in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries: classical Japanese fiction and drama, Chinese poetry, and Western literary representation and cultural critique. Their juxtaposition brilliantly captures the social, intellectual, and political challenges shaping Japan during this period, particularly the rise of nationalism, the complex interaction between traditional and modern forces, and the encroachment of Western ideas and writing. The second half conveys the changes that have transformed Japan since the end of the Pacific War, such as the heady transition from poverty to prosperity, the friction between conflicting ideologies and political beliefs, and the growing influence of popular culture on the country's artistic and intellectual traditions. Featuring sensitive translations of works by Nagai Kafu, Natsume Soseki, Oe Kenzaburo, Kawabata Yasunari, Mishima Yukio, and many others, this anthology relates an essential portrait of Japan's dynamic modernization.
