Book excerpt: Kazari had long dreamed of being called by the Lady – she who had created Albatar as a sanctuary for the faithful following the Gorgone War. But Kazari never expected to be the one to take the amethyst of the Hunter, or to become one of the Lady’s elect, the select few who defended Albatar from the gorgones. Hunter training is hard, and nothing has prepared Kazari for the challenges ahead of her. Gorgones – evil demons, brought from Beyond by the Second King, and which corrupt those who worship them; destroying their minds, bodies and souls. And now rumours of evil, and gorgones, once more abound, heralding what might be another approaching war. As a Hunter, one of those whose exploits are legend within Albatar, Kazari must play her part as her homeland’s defender. But how can she, a short girl from a remote village, live up to those legends? Will the Lady’s gifts to Kazari be enough to help the Hunters to defend Albatar in the oncoming war? And will she master them in time to make a difference? Or will she even survive?

Download or read book The Translocal Island of Okinawa written by Shinnosuke Takahashi and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-06-13 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Translocal Island of Okinawa reveals the underrepresented memories, visions and actions that are involved in the making of Okinawan resistance against its subordinated status under the US-Japan security system beyond the narrowly defined political, cultural and geographical borders of locality. As Okinawa's base politics is a problem deeply rooted in the context of East Asia, so is the history of the people's protest movement. The issue examined in this book is the arbitrary distinction of scale between 'local', which tends to be employed for a particular territory demarcated by a cohesive culture, and 'regional', a larger area that consists of myriad localities. Locality, Shinnosuke Takahashi here argues, is neither self-evident, fixed nor homogenous but is established through historical processes that involve interaction, conflict and negotiation of individuals and communities across territorial and cultural boundaries. This book reveals the novel concept of Okinawa as a translocal island which offers a way to understand locality in the context of Okinawan activism as a product of multiple cultural and human flows, as opposed to the conventional way of framing the local community as fixed, internally cohesive and rigidly bordered. It makes an exciting contribution to the field of modern Japanese and East Asian studies by stimulating discussions on the richness and scale of local civic activism that is increasingly becoming a key political feature of the East Asian region.

Download or read book Reading Asian Art and Artifacts written by Paul Nietupski and published by Lehigh University Press. This book was released on 2011-04-04 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book begins with the understanding that, in addition to its aesthetic qualities, Asian art and material artifacts are expressive of cultural realities and constitute a 'visible language' with messages that can be read, interpreted, and analyzed. Asian art and artifacts are understood in their contexts, as 'windows' into cultures, and as such can be used as a powerful pedagogical tool in many academic disciplines. The book includes essays by scholars of Asian art, philosophy, anthropology, and religion that focus on objects held in ASIANetwork schools. The ASIANetwork collections are reflective of Asian societies, historical and religious environments, political positions, and economic conditions. The art objects and artifacts were discovered sometimes in storage and were sometimes poorly understood and variously described as fine art, curiosities, souvenirs, and markers of events in a school's history. The chapter authors tell the stories of the collections, and the collections themselves tell stories of the collectors. This volume is intended for use in many disciplines, and its interpretive structures are adaptable to other examples of art and artifacts in other colleges, universities, and museums. An online database of some 2000 art objects held in the ASIANetwork schools' collections supplements this book.
