Contemporary Art in Japan and Cuteness in Japanese Popular Culture
Get PDFThis thesis is an art historical study focussing on contemporary Japan, and in particular the artists Murakami TakashL Mori Mariko, Aida Makoto, and Nara Yoshitomo. These artists represent a generation of artists born in the 1960s who use popular culture to their own ends. From the seminal exhibition 'Tokyo Pop' at Hiratsuka Museum of Art in 1996 which included all four artists, to Murakami's group exhibition 'Little Boy: The Arts of Japan's Exploding Subculture' which opened in April 2005, central to my research is an exploration of contemporary art's engagement with the pervasiveness of cuteness in Japanese culture.
Including key secondary material, which recognises cuteness as not merely something trivial but involving power play and gender role issues, this thesis undertakes an interdisciplinary analysis of cuteness in contemporary Japanese popular culture, and examines howcontemporary Japanese artists have responded, providing original research through interviews with Aida Makoto, Mori Mariko and Murakami Takashi. Themes examined include the deconstruction of the high and low in contemporary art; sh6jo (girl) culture and cuteness; the relation of cuteness and the erotic; the transformation of cuteness into the grotesque; cuteness and nostalgia; and virtual cuteness in Japanese science fiction animation, and computer games.

The Number of Larval Molts Is Controlled by Hox in Caterpillars

Using a series of Moltinism strains of the silkworm, Daimon et al. show that the Hox gene Scr regulates the biosynthesis of molting hormones, thereby controlling the number of larval molts. They provide evidence that Hox genes drive the evolution of life history traits of animals.</p

Modeling Categorization Dynamics through Conversation by Constructive Approach
No full textCategorization dynamics as clustering of words in word relation is studied by a constructive approach which is suit for inquiry of evolutionary linguistic with dynamic view of language. Word meaning is represented by relationship among words to some extent and the relationship should be derived from way of usage of language. Based on this usage-base view, an algorithm to evaluate word relationship is defined. Using the algorithm, cluster structure and its dynamics of words are shown in a model with communicating artificial agents. The relevance of clustering with categorization is discussed.
