On the Imagination of Mr. Soetsu Yanagi, around the Discovery of Korea and Japan
Get PDFIn the era when Mr.Soetsu Yanagi lived, Japan was in an era of growth and war from the end of the Meiji era to the Showa era. But the two spiritual fathers - Mr.Kaishu Katsu and Mr. Jigoro Kanou- brought up Soetsu Yanagi in a very liberal environment. Mr. Yanagi did not believe that reason and logical way led to human understanding, but rather deprived human freedom. He thought that what is needed to insight human freedom, human diversity and discordant world is the imagination beyond reason. But the imagination is not universal either. For this reason, Yanagi’s central problem was how to gain imagination and a deeper understanding on the world. Soetsu was inspired by the research of William Blake and the stone Buddha temple in Gyeongju-Korea. And the next interest of him is Mokujiki Budda in Japan. It led to the discovery of Korea and Japan. He will make imagination work for various subjects. It was also a work to confirm each individuality and empathy while comparing various things. There was a round-trip movement of imagination towards mutual understanding. This has become a strategic way of Yanagi to understand the diverse world.departmental bulletin pape
The Dream in Paralympics : On the Body in “the Era of Impossibility” / The New Value of Sports and Society from Olympic Games 2020
Get PDFThe aim of this paper is to sketch the form of sports and body culture in contemporary era keeping distance from modern ideology, and to propose its value. Tokyo Olympic in 1964 was an event symbolizing Japan’s years of hope, which supported the high economic growth. In contrast,we are in “the era of impossibility”. What sort of social transformation can the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games bring about? In order to answer this question, first of all, we examine the Norbert Elias thesis which discussed the concept of balance between excitement and suppression and the social function of sports. And now, at the epidemic of cynicism, it is argued that it is difficult for us to feel excitement and to acquire sense of existence in society. Secondly, I discuss body theory, especially from the perspective of the body-technology relationship, and from the perspective of others theory in body. Today, it is assumed that the body is surviving along with technology as foreign substance, and that the body inevitably coexists with others who can’t predict and can’t understand. I draw out the image of the body that continue to maintain social relations with foreign substance and foreign people in a diversified society. Finally, as you live with foreign substance and foreign people, the body embody a sense of rhythm and gliding, and this new body image forms the basis of comtemporary body culture. I will clarify that this body culture that internalizes rhythm and gliding sensation present the new possibilities of the Olympic and Paralympic Games and Society.departmental bulletin pape
National Development and Indigenous Rights in Latin America : Analysis of the tensions produced with the Chilean State by the Mapuche demand for self-determination
Get PDFThis paper explores the tensions generated in Chilean politics by Mapuche responses to the promotion of development and the protection of indigenous rights since the end of the military dictatorship in 1990. Working within the norm diffusion model, the present paper will analyze the concept “Indigenous Development” existing at the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues and its incorporation into government policy for the period 2008-2011, considering its interaction with the national political context. The first section analyzes the transformation of the United Nations position on indigenous peoples, then characterizes the notion of indigenous development and the norm diffusion model. We then analyze government reports to the United Nations’ Universal Periodic Review, International Labor Organization, and the United National Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues to identify the advances. We conclude with a discussion of the tensions present in Chile.departmental bulletin pape
