Download or read book Ling stica Misionera written by Otto Zwartjes and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the first European missionaries arrived on other continents, it was decided that the indigenous languages would be used as the means of christianization. There emerged the need to produce grammars and dictionaries of those languages. The study of this linguistic material has so far not received sufficient attention in the field of linguistic historiography. This volume is the first published collection of papers on missionary linguistics world-wide; it represents the insights of recent research, containing an introduction and papers on methodology, meta-historiography, the historical and cultural background. The book contains studies about early-modern linguistic works written in Spanish, Portuguese, English and French, describing among others indigenous languages from North America and Australia, Maya, Quechua, Xhosa, Japanese, Kapampangan, and Visaya. Topics dealt with include: innovations of individual missionaries in lexicography, grammatical analysis, phonology, morphology, or syntax; creativity in descriptive techniques; differences and/or similarities of works from different continents, and different religious backgrounds (Catholic or Protestant).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El intrigante retrato de una familia japonesa en trance y de una mujer que encuentra su centro creativo entre dos mundos separados por la cultura y el idioma. A veinte años del exilio familiar de Japón a Estados Unidos, Nanae llama por teléfono a Minae para recordárselo, y así un torbellino de recuerdos y reflexiones envuelve a las hermanas tal como el temporal de nieve que arrecia en esa noche cercana a fin de año: las rígidas costumbres japonesas frente a las engañosas libertades norteamericanas; las dificultades para encontrar un lugar en el mundo; el conflicto con la lengua materna; los sacrificios que implica la creación; la soledad inherente a todo exilio y el dilema desgarrador de volver o no a la tierra natal. Con su prosa sobria, inteligente y a la vez íntima, Mizumura nos acerca a su mundo y al hacerlo nos ofrece un reflejo de las condiciones de nuestro presente, signado por el movimiento y la negación del pasado.

Download or read book The Closed Hand written by Rebecca Riger Tsurumi and published by Purdue University Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her book, The Closed Hand: Images of the Japanese in Modern Peruvian Literature, Rebecca Riger Tsurumi captures the remarkable story behind the changing human landscape in Peru at the end of the nineteenth century when Japanese immigrants established what would become the second largest Japanese community in South America. She analyzes how non-Japanese Peruvian narrators unlock the unspoken attitudes and beliefs about the Japanese held by mainstream Peruvian society, as reflected in works written between 1966 and 2006. Tsurumi explores how these Peruvian literary giants, including Mario Vargas Llosa, Miguel Gutiérrez, Alfredo Bryce Echenique, Carmen Ollé, Pilar Dughi, and Mario Bellatin, invented Japanese characters whose cultural differences fascinated and confounded their creators. She compares the outsider views of these Peruvian narrators with the insider perceptions of two Japanese Peruvian poets, José Watanabe and Doris Moromisato, who tap personal experiences and memories to create images that define their identities. The book begins with a brief sociohistorical overview of Japan and Peru, describing the conditions in both nations that resulted in Japanese immigration to Peru and concluding in contemporary times. Tsurumi traces the evolution of the terms "Orient" and "Japanese/Oriental" and the depiction of Asians in Modernista poetry and in later works by Octavio Paz and Jorge Luis Borges. She analyzes the images of the Japanese portrayed in individual works of modern Peruvian narrative, comparing them with those created in Japanese Peruvian poetry. The book concludes with an appendix containing excerpts from Tsurumi's interviews and correspondence in Spanish with writers and poets in Lima and Mexico City.

Download or read book Expressing Silence written by Natsuko Tsujimura and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-03-03 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Expressing Silence: Where Language and Culture Meet in Japanese, Natsuko Tsujimura discusses how silence is conceptualized and linguistically represented in Japanese. Languages differ widely in the specific linguistic and rhetorical modes through which vivid depictions of silence are achieved. In Japanese, sounds in nature evoke silence, and onomatopoeia plays an important role in simulating silent scenes. These linguistic mechanisms mediate the perception of the symbiotic relationship between sound and silence, a perception deeply embedded in the Japanese cultural experience. Expressing Silence brings the tools of both linguistic and cultural analysis in examining the remarkably rich array of representations of silence in Japanese language and culture, finding that depictions of silence through language cannot be understood without exploring what sound or silence mean to the speakers.
