Download or read book Yellow Peril written by John Kuo Wei Tchen and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2014-02-11 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From invading hordes to enemy agents, a great fear haunts the West! The “yellow peril” is one of the oldest and most pervasive racist ideas in Western culture—dating back to the birth of European colonialism during the Enlightenment. Yet while Fu Manchu looks almost quaint today, the prejudices that gave him life persist in modern culture. Yellow Peril! is the first comprehensive repository of anti-Asian images and writing, and it surveys the extent of this iniquitous form of paranoia. Written by two dedicated scholars and replete with paintings, photographs, and images drawn from pulp novels, posters, comics, theatrical productions, movies, propagandistic and pseudo-scholarly literature, and a varied world of pop culture ephemera, this is both a unique and fascinating archive and a modern analysis of this crucial historical formation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Most of them were originally written in Japanese for Japanese publications, and were later translated into English for various English publications in the Orient.

They were not writ ten for foreign consumption. Their respective authors had no eye upon the American or European gallery. They show just What the Japanese are talk ing among themselves on the vital problems of the world and their bearing upon Japan.

Download or read book Japanese Horror Films and their American Remakes written by Valerie Wee and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-23 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ring (2002)—Hollywood’s remake of the Japanese cult success Ringu (1998)—marked the beginning of a significant trend in the late 1990s and early 2000s of American adaptations of Asian horror films. This book explores this complex process of adaptation, paying particular attention to the various transformations that occur when texts cross cultural boundaries. Through close readings of a range of Japanese horror films and their Hollywood remakes, this study addresses the social, cultural, aesthetic and generic features of each national cinema’s approach to and representation of horror, within the subgenre of the ghost story, tracing convergences and divergences in the films’ narrative trajectories, aesthetic style, thematic focus and ideological content. In comparing contemporary Japanese horror films with their American adaptations, this book advances existing studies of both the Japanese and American cinematic traditions, by: illustrating the ways in which each tradition responds to developments in its social, cultural and ideological milieu; and, examining Japanese horror films and their American remakes through a lens that highlights cross-cultural exchange and bilateral influence. The book will be of interest to scholars of film, media, and cultural studies.

Download or read book Great Nations at Peril written by Jürgen Backhaus and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-11-27 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was prompted by the current, lingering financial crisis, which has its basis in the disorderly financial practices of the United States. These practices have resulted in an accumulated debt which now requires the United States to run financial policies at artificially low interest rates. In principle, these low interest rates should flood the markets with ready money. Since the spread for banks is very thin, however, and they must carefully discriminate between available risks and finance only those propositions with no risk, credit is not abundantly available. With staggering foreign debt and a myriad of other perils looming, this great nation is at peril for sure. In the tradition of the Heilbronn Symposium, the authors look at historical cases as a means of understanding the current situation and informing possible solutions to a problem that continues to affect the global economy. The volume analyzes cases such as Prussia, Greece, Italy, Estonia, and the European Union. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of economic history as well as policy makers who may benefit from an historical understanding of the economic challenges their countries currently face.

Download or read book The Russo Japanese War from the Outbreak of Hostilities to the Battle of Liaoyang Classic Reprint written by Thomas Cowen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-30 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Russo-Japanese War From the Outbreak of Hostilities to the Battle of Liaoyang But the glacier at last comes to a point where it breaks up; and it is not in the Japanese character to submit, but rather to die fighting, or choose suicide, if there is no hope whatever. The watchword of modern Japan is Defence - self-preservation, or a fight to the death if there is no other way. This has been made especially plain since 1895, but it was no secret prior to that - in fact, through all the lifetime of the re awakened nation. She had felt that the whole world was against her in the first days of her unwilling acquaintance with it. The ancient Japan was rudely put out of existence by the Allied Powers, and a new born nation was forced into the world at the point of the bayonet. The whole of her young life was darkened by the shadow of the Foreign Peril until after the allied forces withdrew, and then arose instead the Russian Peril, year by year pressing more closely. Each new move was a new menace. The climax came in 1891, when the huge Siberian Railway scheme was announced. Russia openly declared her determination to dominate the Far East Japan sternly, desperately, resolved not to be dominated. In effect, the war of 1904 was declared in 1891.

Download or read book The Authority of the Court and the Peril of Politics written by Stephen Breyer and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2021-09-14 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sitting justice reflects upon the authority of the Supreme CourtÑhow that authority was gained and how measures to restructure the Court could undermine both the Court and the constitutional system of checks and balances that depends on it. A growing chorus of officials and commentators argues that the Supreme Court has become too political. On this view the confirmation process is just an exercise in partisan agenda-setting, and the jurists are no more than Òpoliticians in robesÓÑtheir ostensibly neutral judicial philosophies mere camouflage for conservative or liberal convictions. Stephen Breyer, drawing upon his experience as a Supreme Court justice, sounds a cautionary note. Mindful of the CourtÕs history, he suggests that the judiciaryÕs hard-won authority could be marred by reforms premised on the assumption of ideological bias. Having, as Hamilton observed, Òno influence over either the sword or the purse,Ó the Court earned its authority by making decisions that have, over time, increased the publicÕs trust. If public trust is now in decline, one part of the solution is to promote better understandings of how the judiciary actually works: how judges adhere to their oaths and how they try to avoid considerations of politics and popularity. Breyer warns that political intervention could itself further erode public trust. Without the publicÕs trust, the Court would no longer be able to act as a check on the other branches of government or as a guarantor of the rule of law, risking serious harm to our constitutional system.
Download or read book Longing and Other Stories written by Jun'ichirō. Tanizaki and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2022-01-04 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jun’ichirō Tanizaki is one of the most eminent Japanese writers of the twentieth century, renowned for his investigations of family dynamics, eroticism, and cultural identity. Most acclaimed for his postwar novels such as The Makioka Sisters and The Key, Tanizaki made his literary debut in 1910. This book presents three powerful stories of family life from the first decade of Tanizaki’s career that foreshadow the themes the great writer would go on to explore. “Longing” recounts the fantastic journey of a precocious young boy through an eerie nighttime landscape. Replete with striking natural images and uncanny human encounters, it ends with a striking revelation. “Sorrows of a Heretic” follows a university student and aspiring novelist who lives in degrading poverty in a Tokyo tenement. Ambitious and tormented, the young man rebels against his family against a backdrop of sickness and death. “The Story of an Unhappy Mother” describes a vivacious but self-centered woman’s drastic transformation after a freak accident involving her son and daughter-in-law. Written in different genres, the three stories are united by a focus on mothers and sons and a concern for Japan’s traditional culture in the face of Westernization. The longtime Tanizaki translators Anthony H. Chambers and Paul McCarthy masterfully bring these important works to an Anglophone audience.

Download or read book Japan s Fight for Freedom Vol 1 written by Herbert Wrigley Wilson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Japan's Fight for Freedom, Vol. 1: The Story of the War Between Russia and Japan To us, British onlookers, it appears that Japan must win, and deserves to win. She is fighting for a righteous cause, for her national independence. If defeated, she must cease to exist, and accept the miserable fate of a I'inland or Poland: She is fighting in the cause of civilisation; for whatever nonsense is written about the Yellow Peril, it cannot be denied by thinking men that she, rather than Russia, represents civilised ideas, the freedom of human thought, democratic institutions, education and enlightenment - in a word, all that we understand by progress. It is Russia who stands for barbarism and reaction; and while the great mass of the Russian army must be acquitted of any tendency to inhumanity, it has yet to be admitted that the Cossacks and certain of the Asiatic auxiliaries employed by the Russians in the field have shown at times grave disregard for the laws of war, and that outrages on their part have been far from uncommon. On the Japanese side, the war has been carried on with exemplary kindness and humanity to the Russians. The faith and devotion Of the Japanese people in this their hour of trial may well read Englishmen a lesson. An island state, Japan has made immense sacrifices to provide herself with a strong army. Her citizens have not shrunk from the burden Of compulsory service when they felt it to be necessary for the safety of their fatherland. Taught from their earliest youth that their country has the first claim upon their lives, and that to her they owe a great duty, they have displayed a valour and devotion in the field which are not to be matched in the annals of any past war. It is perfectly correct and no mere figure of speech to say of a Japanese army that it enters the combat prepared to conquer or die. Of Japanese surrenders there have been none, even when the odds have been hopeless. A people with this spirit of duty and devotion will go far; and whatever the present, the future is to Japan. The same intense earnestness which has given her victory in war will bring her success in the competition of peace. In commerce, as in battle, she will win, because she deserves to win, and because her citizens are not intent on bodily enjoyment or pleasure, but are swayed by a spiritual force such as moved the West and England in England's greatest days.
