On Mishima Yukio's Modern Noh Play “Yuya“
No full textpdfLike some other modern Noh plays by Mishima，“Yuya” (1959) may be evaluated as an attempt“at a kind of poetic drama” 1) and “at a marriage between the drama of ideas and the poetic drama.“ 2) It is also important to note that it was an adaptation of a typical Noh play of yūgen-gentle splendour and graceful and subtle beauty.
The Kabuki dance play “Yuya”， which Mishima wrote in 1955 for Nakamura Utaemon, helps us to see how he interpreted the original Noh. We may also note there that “the flower” the main theme of the play, was successfully represented and the feelings of the play skilfully created.
Some vulgar elements were introduced into his modern Noh play, but it was still “the flower“ that the author intended to create by “modernizing”the purple passages of the original. The heroine’s words and action, replacing music, dancing and stage-setting of the classical plays, are there to show the movement of her mind and emotion. When the critical climax arrives, however, she is required to act almost like a classical Noh actor in the “iguse”sc ene, characteristically paradoxical feature that the least movement is the most powerful expression. It is not an easy play to perform.conference pape
Search and consume: Consummation of desire among the database animals
No full textThis paper is born out of conceptual work stimulated in the process of constructing a literary search engine for the PhoneMe project (www.phonemeproject.com), a social media app for spoken word poetry supporting a mobile phone-native genre of literary expression. Framed within the cultural theory of Hiroki Azuma, we explore some underlying principles of the searching behaviours of literary consumers and the topoi in which desire can be located and consummated. In building the database architecture for this user generated content driven application, our aim has been to creatively explore the notion of literary search, and provide the means of animating intelligent search of aesthetic texts.
Azuma sees the postmodern as an historical period characterized by a shift away from grand narratives to database culture, whereby information is consumed not as a cohesive unit stabilized by collectivized narratives, but as a protean association and assemblage of data fragments made available through searching databases. Such a cultural shift not only transforms the media, but also human subjectivity. While Lacan thought of subjectification as a process of imaginary identification (with other subjects) and symbolic identification (with the Other, the grand narrative), the absence of a grand narrative demands that we speculate about different pathways for subjectification. Azuma sees a new possibility of symbolic identification as occurring within the database.
Following Azuma, we propose a provocative theory based on the notion of invisible gathering of data by search engines and the bots of Big Data, creating a type of inadvertent semiosis we define as the production of anti-signs. In the database environment, these anti-signs are aggregated to produce the consumer’s antibody. This antibody is the database manifestation of what Deleuze and Guattari call “dividual , and is generated through the process of leaving hidden traces of our desires through the act of searching. An intelligent being, the automated Other learns with the real person, until it begins to serve (feed) the informational needs of the user according to predictive algorithms, at which point the relationship is reversed, and via the user’s mathematical-double, it begins to guide and direct the user’s tastes, interests, and affiliations. In other words, the act of searching is increasingly domesticated by the mathematical order.
We posit that there are a variety of search patterns and behaviours that can be used to bring contingency back into the act of searching, and this may be done by deliberately prompting glitches to occur–what Azuma calls misdelivery: “By meeting people who one was never expected to meet, going to places where one was never expected to go, and thinking about things that one was never expected to think, one brings contingency back into the system of the Empire and re-link the branches that are concentrated in order to move from prioritized choices back to misdelivery.” Through taxonomizing different modes and postures of search, we share ways in which we can make the act of searching a creative, generative, instinctual, even chance-oriented practice, deepening individual investment in learned assemblages of relevant knowledge
Search for Long-lived Chargino with Anomaly-Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking Scenarios in pp Collisions at = 7 TeV
No full textA search for long-lived charginos in anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking (AMSB) mod- els is performed using 4.7 fb 1 data of pp collisions at p s = 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector. In the AMSB models, the wino is the lightest gaugino and the lightest chargino and neutralino (as the lightest supersymmetric particle) are dominantly composed of the charged and neutral winos, respectively. Furthermore, the masses of the charged and neutral winos are highly de- generate, which results in a significant lifetime of the chargino. The lightest chargino decays into a neutralino and a soft charged pion. Due to the mass degeneracy, the momentum of the pion originating from the chargino decay is too soft to be reconstructed in collider experiments. The neutralino escapes detection, therefore, the decaying chargino could be identified as a high- momentum track breaking up in the tracking volume ( disappearing track ). In this dissertation, a method for detecting such chargino tracks is newly developed. The tran- sition radiation tracker (TRT) employed as one of the ATLAS inner detectors, consisting of a lot of drift tubes, is used for the identification of the disappearing track. A large number of associated hits in the TRT detector for the stable charged particles while a smaller number is expected for decaying charginos. By requiring a small number of TRT hits along a track, the chargino track is discriminated to the track of the SM particles. After the application of selection requirements, three hundred and four candidate tracks remain. The background and signal yields are determined by an unbinned maximum likelihood fit on the pt of the tracks. The p T spectrum of the candidate tracks is consistent with the background-only hypothesis and no excess of data is found. New constraints on the chargino properties and the AMSB model parameters are then set. A chargino having a lifetime ̃ 1 = 1 ns is excluded up to m ̃ 1 120 GeV in the region m 3 2 > 2000 GeV at 95% Confidence Level (CL). For a chargino having a lifetime ̃ 1 = 0 : 3 ns, a constraint of m ̃ 1 > 100 GeV in the region m 3 2 > 2000 GeV is set at 95% C

SEARCH AND CONSUME: CONSUMMATION OF DESIRE AMONG THE DATABASE ANIMALS
No full textThis paper is born out of conceptual work stimulated in the construction of a literary search engine for the PhoneMe project (www.phonemeproject.com), social media for spoken-word poetry. Drawing on Hiroki Azuma, we explore the ways in which desires are located and consummated through acts of searching and propose a pedagogy of search literacy which embraces spontaneity and accidents to break out of the algorithmic guidance. Azuma sees the postmodern as an historical period characterized by a shift away from grand narratives to database culture, whereby information is consumed not as a cohesive unit stabilized by collectivized narratives, but as a protean association of data fragments made available through searching databases. Such a cultural shift not only transforms the media, but also subjectivity. We propose a theory based on the idea of inadvertent semiosis we call anti-signs. In the database environment, these anti-signs are aggregated to produce the consumers’ Antibody. This Antibody, or one’s algorithmic guide, begins to direct the user’s desires and attentions. We present a way to bring contingency back into the act of searching through prompting glitches to occur–what Azuma calls misdelivery–and through the aesthetic (as opposed to efferent) textual representation of literary search results
Big dragon, little dragons : China's challenge to the machinery exports of southeast Asia
No full textThis paper investigates the extent of China's export boom in machinery and analyzes trade in components and finished machinery between China and Southeast Asia. China has increased its world market share in machinery exports. The median relative unit value of its finished machinery exports has also risen. Yet the author finds no evidence that China's expansion in the world machinery market has squeezed the market shares of Southeast Asian machinery exports. Instead, components made by Southeast Asian countries are increasing in unit value and gaining market share in China.Markets and Market Access,Economic Theory&Research,Free Trade,General Manufacturing,Debt Markets
Good reduction criterion for K3 surfaces : an announcement (Algebraic Number Theory and Related Topics 2013)
No full text"Algebraic Number Theory and Related Topics 2013". December 9～13, 2013. edited by Tadashi Ochiai, Takeshi Tsuji and Iwao Kimura. The papers presented in this volume of RIMS Kôkyûroku Bessatsu are in final form and refereed.This is an announcement of another paper by the author (published in Math. Z.). We prove that whether a K3 surface has potential good reduction can be determined from the Galois representation defined from the l-adic or p-adic étale cohomology groups of the K3 surface. This is an analogue of the Néron-Ogg-Shafarevich criterion for abelian varieties. We also have an application to the period map of K3 surfaces in mixed characteristics
