Privacy Future Directions
No full textPrivacy law is in a precarious position. Scholars and commentators are unable to agree on a universal definition for what privacy entails and what interests or rights privacy law should protect when balanced against changing societal norms, rapid technological advancements and freedom of speech concerns. As Boyd aptly states “[n]either privacy nor publicity is dead, but technology will continue to make a mess of both.” In this respect, this chapter examines how the future of privacy law should take shape in New Zealand. It summarises important shortfalls in New Zealand’s current privacy laws and the improvements required to keep pace with international legal developments.
The first-named author, Daimhin Warner, first addresses the shortfalls and improvements needed in relation to the Privacy Act 2020. The second-named and third-named authors, Nikki Chamberlain and Stephen Penk, then address shortfalls and improvements needed in the common law

A Voz narrativa e os poemas nos diários literários japoneses-Tosa Nikki e Izumi Shikibu Nikki
No full textTosa Nikki o Diário de Tosa e Izumi Shikibu Nikki, o Diário de Izumi Shikibu são obras narradas na terceira pessoa do singular e fogem à expectativa criada em tomo de obras como elas que levam o nome de diario.

“Kagero-nikki“ and “Towazu-gatari“
Full text linkpdfThe subject of my paper is the study of two of the most famous lyrical diaries of the Heian period and the Kamakura period; that is ,“Kagerō-nikki” and “Towazu-gatari”. The first of them covers 21 years of the life of the author, Michitsuna-no haha, and the latter 37 years of the life of the author, Lady Nijō. Therefore, they can be considered as representative works of the genre “nikki-bungaku”－ as personal and retrospective literature. First, I am dealing with the characteristics of these two diaries as personal literature, stressing the psychological stimulus which lead the authors to write their diaries, as seen in the two works themselves.
Then, I proceed with undertaking the problem of time as revealed in these two diaries. On the one hand, there is the frame of natural, objective time, and on the other, the flow of the subjective time of the authors ―first as a main character of the work (protagonist), and then as an author (narrator). The two basic elements of the subjective time in the lyrical diaries could be defined as personal time or the time of experience, and recollected time or the time of retrospection. As the work proceeds towards its end, the positions of the author as a narrator and as a protagonist tend to unify, and so do the time of experience and the time of retrospection.
At the end, I outline the main subjects of my future study of time in the lyrical diaries in an attempt to finally formulate the temporal characteristics of “nikki-bungaku” as a genre.conference pape

No full textView the MLK 2025 event Black Feeling Black Talk: A Celebration of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Nikki Giovanni held Thursday, January 16th, 2025 at 5:30pm in the RISD auditorium.
The RISD community mourns the passing of Nikki Giovanni, poet, author, activist and educator. World-renowned and one of the foremost authors of the Black Arts Movement, Giovanni, through her work, explored race, gender, sexuality, politics and the Black family. Her career, spanning seven decades, manifested in a prolific body of work ranging from poetry, essays and nonfiction to recordings and children’s literature. In 2002, Giovanni’s poetry graced the Smithsonian Institution’s first major exhibition honoring Dr. King titled In the Spirit of Martin: the Living Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. In her introduction to the catalogue she urged,
This is a sacred poem…open your arms… turn your palms up… feel the Spirit of Greatness… and be redeemed
Planned as RISD’s 13th MLK keynote speaker, Nikki Giovanni will be counted among previous keynote speakers who have left their indelible mark on our community. The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Committee posthumously salutes Nikki Giovanni for her distinguished artistry, her groundbreaking achievements and her unwavering vision toward a society imbued with freedom and justice for all. May her passion, poetry and power continue to inspire us and generations to come.

The diary as literature: Heian nikki bungaku
Full text linkpdfThe essay first attempts to clear away some of the common misconceptions about the nature of diaries (that they are nonfictional records of actual events, that they are composed serially at frequent intervals immediately after the events recorded, that their intended audience is the diarist himself, and that the narrator and the author of the diary are identical) and then defines the diary as a first-person narrative of a discontinuous series of more or less self-contained responses to the narrator's present situation and present experiences . Several qualifications to, and amplifications of, that definition are made concerning the serial structure of diaries; the strong assertion of the self achieved through the diary's characteristic temporal, spatial and personal perspectives; the distinction between public and private diaries; the typical rhetorical tone of diaries; the presence of themes in diaries; etc. The essay then turns to the Heian diary, first pointing out its characteristic mode of self- assertion and view of the self , and then discussing two representative examples of "diary literature，" Tosa nikki and Kagero nikki. It is concluded that Tosa nikki fails as diary literature because it unsuccessfully mixes two literary forms, the diary and the pōetry collection; because of the multiplicity of its themes; and because of the ambiguity and weakness of the diarist's voice. It is argued that Kagerō nikki succeeds for a variety of reasons, including the power and universality of its principal theme, the authenticity of its voice, and the narrative density made possible by a unifying theme.conference pape
Matsukage nikki and its Readers
Full text linkpdfFor some years now I have been preparing an English translation of Matsukage nikki （In the Shelter of the Pine, ca. 1710－1712）, the memoir of Yanagisawa Yoshiyasu （1658－1714） and the reign of the fifth Tokugawa Shogun Tsunayoshi （1646－1709; r. 1680－1709） composed by Yoshiyasu’s aristocratic concubine Ōgimachi Machiko （1679?－1724）. The publication in 2007 of a new edition of the text by Miyakawa Yoko, based on Machiko’s holographs in the collection of the Yanagisawa Bunko and complete with a modern Japanese translation and thousands of notes, has made my translation possible. We might now describe Matsukage nikki as the most significant work of literature by a woman from Japan’s early modern era. But this is of course not how earlier readers saw the text or why they valued it. Previous research has shown that the historians who compiled Tokugawa jikki, the official history of the Tokugawa shogunate, saw fit to quote from Matsukage nikki some twenty times. We also know that people as different in outlook and interests as the Kyoto writer Ban Kōkei （1733－1806）, author of Kinsei kijinden （Eccentrics of Our Times, 1790）, and the Confucian scholar from Hiroshima, Rai Shunsui （1746－1816）, owned copies of the text. In my presentation, I shall explore what we know about who read Matsukage nikki in the Edo period, why, and what this readership reveals about the reception of the work. I shall also discuss some aspects of the Machiko’s memoir that became visible during the struggle to translate it for an English-reading audience.conference pape
