Retelling racialized violence, remaking white innocence: the politics of interlocking oppressions in transgender day of remembrance
No full textTransgender Day of Remembrance has become a significant political event among those resisting violence against gender-variant persons. Commemorated in more than 250 locations worldwide, this day honors individuals who were killed due to anti-transgender hatred or prejudice. However, by focusing on transphobia as the definitive cause of violence, this ritual potentially obscures the ways in which hierarchies of race, class, and sexuality constitute such acts. Taking the Transgender Day of Remembrance/Remembering Our Dead project as a case study for considering the politics of memorialization, as well as tracing the narrative history of the Fred F. C. Martinez murder case in Colorado, the author argues that deracialized accounts of violence produce seemingly innocent White witnesses who can consume these spectacles of domination without confronting their own complicity in such acts. The author suggests that remembrance practices require critical rethinking if we are to confront violence in more effective ways.

The Americanization of Tsuru Aoki: Orientalism, Melodrama, Star Image, and the New Woman
No full textThis article contextualizes issues of race and Orientalism in the career of Japanese actress Tsuru Aoki within changing representational strategies and ongoing cultural struggles over the public and domestic roles of women in the modern age. According to the author, Aoki\u27s persona blurred the boundaries between Japanese and U.S. identities
Toward a Phenomenology of Curriculum: The Work of Max Van Manen and T. Tetsuo Aoki.
No full textIn this study an attempt was made at understanding contemporary thought and application of phenomenological research to the field of curriculum and instruction. More specifically, it sought to identify a place and need for a methodology in curriculum research that exposes and clarifies the dynamics of pedagogy as a result of investigating the existential/ontological nature of pedagogical activity. In accomplishing this, the works of two major North American phenomenological curriculum theorists, T. Tetsuo Aoki and Max van Manen were examined. The work of these two significant contemporary curriculum theorists was used due to the international recognition their seminal phenomenologically oriented research activities in curriculum has received. The work of van Manen and Aoki was not only examined for its theoretical foundations and principal themes, but was also used as the guide to a modest phenomenological investigation by the author into the interpretation given to the phenomenon of experiencing knowledge by thirty-three Developmental Reading students from Louisiana State University. This examination of the study was prefaced by a review of three theoretical emphases from which the research of reading has been approached. This examination of the field of reading included a positing by the author of the necessity and benefits a phenomenological perspective of reading can offer to its curriculum development and instruction. Based on this discussion and the work of van Manen and Aoki, the phenomenological analysis of these students\u27 written responses to the reading of the novel Flowers For Algernon provided the researcher with the basis for several recommendations to curriculum development and instructional approaches in teaching reading to developmental education students. The conclusion of this study found that phenomenology, as part of an eclectic research methodology, can uniquely contribute to curriculum research and allows for the creation of a more lifeworld sensitive pedagogical praxis
Four New Species of the Superfamily Amerobelboidea from Yunnan Province in China (Acari : Ori ba tida)
No full textapplication/pdfField researches on soil animals in Yunnan, Southeast China were conducted in October, 1997 by the Sino-Japanese Cooperative study team headed by one of the author Dr. J. Aoki. Nine species belonging to the superfamily Arnerobelboidea have hitherto been reported from China by Aoki et al. (1997) : three species of Eremulus, one species of Costeremus, one species of Fosseremus, two species of Eremobelba, one species of Fenestrella. The present paper deals with new species,Yambaramerus arcuatus spec. nov., Ctenobelba polysetosus spec. nov., Eremobelba yunnanensis spec. nov. and Cristamerus yunnanensis spec. nov. Yambaramerus arcuates spec. nov. is distinguishable from Y. itoi Aoki, 1996 from Japan, by having anterior margin of notogaster with a pair of semicircular ridges, 5 pairs of genital setae and very long and strong epimeral, aggenital and adanal setae. Ctenobelba polysetosa spec. nov. is distinguishable from C. longisetosa Suzuoka & Aoki, 1980 from Japan, by having small body size, sensillus with 11 pectinations and strong neotorichy on ventral side. Eremobelba yunnunensis spec. nov. is distinguishable from E. coronata Perez-lnigo & Baggio, 1989 from Brazil, by having minutely barbed rostral setae, long notogastral setae, branched epimeral setae 3a and 4a. Cristamerus yunnanensis spec. nov. is distinguishable from C. spinosus Hammer, 1977 from Pakistan, by having small body, barbed prodorsal and adanal setae, long lamellar and interlamellar setae
Corporate marginal tax rate, tax loss carryforwards and investment functions: empirical analysis using a large German panel data set
No full textThis study is the first empirical analysis to investigate the relationship between the investment behaviour of firms resident in Germany and the empirically determined marginal tax rates developed by John R. Graham. It is based on the Bundesbank's corporate balance sheet statistics for the period 1971-2002. In an autoregressive distributed lag model, the marginal tax rate is shown to be significant, with an elasticity of between 0.1 and 0.2. An error correction model does not produce any plausible results for the marginal tax rate. Graham's marginal tax rates are a complement to the methods typically used to determine the effective marginal tax rates and effective average tax rates. --Corporate marginal tax rate,tax loss carryforward,investment behaviour
IMPLIKATUR METAFORA PADA LIRIK LAGU SOUNDTRACK ANIME “AOKI HAGANE NO ARPEGGIO” アニメ『蒼き鋼のアルペジオ』のサウンドトラックの歌詞に隠喩含意
No full textABSTRACT
Rohmah, Minati. “Metaphoric Implicature in the soundtrack of Anime Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio’s lyrics”. Thesis, Japanese Literature, Diponegoro University, Semarang. Counsellor Zaki Ainul Fadli, S.S., M.Hum.
There is a symbolic nuance that disguise the real meaning of every arts. Therefore to understand that, semiotic theory and the approach of metaphoric implicature is strongly needed. The goal of this research is to explain symbols and metaphoric implicature in the soundtrack of Anime Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio’s lyrics.
This research employs descriptive qualitative method with the help of literature study. Pierce’s semiotic theory is used to understands every symbols in the song’s lyrics, including blank symbol, private symbol, and natural symbol. Meanwhile the approach of metaphoric implicature is used to understands metaphorc implicature in the lyrics.
The result of the research shows that there is 15 symbols and 11 metaphoric implicature in the soundtrack of Anime Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio’s lyrics. The most abundance symbol there is natural symbol which accounts for 53,3% of overall symbol, followed by blank symbol at 33,3%, and private symbols at 13,3%. Meanwhile the author only found three kind of the metaphoric implicatures, which is heroism metaphoric implicature (ode) at 36,36%; amourous metaphoric implicature (serenada) at 54,54%; and scescenerical metaphoric implicature at 9,09%.
Keywords : Pierce’s Semiotic Theory, Metaphoric Implicature, Song’s Lyrics

Studies of Economic Interdependence by State-Space Modelling of Time Series: U.S. Japan Example
No full textThis paper proposes a new way of studying interdependence of countries by building models for selected macroeconomic time series of the countries involved, by a state space model which incorporates moving average components in addition to autoregressive ones. The singular value decomposition is performed of the covariance matrix between the data and future realization of the data vector. A crucial step is the choice of a particular coordinate system which resolved indentifiability question and leads to estimates of the model system matrices which enjoy certain nesting or orthogonality properties. The estimates are consistent even when the state vector dimension is unspecified. The paper then discusses the possible presence of unit roots in the time series and develops a canonical representation of time series containing unit root components. Unit roots are removed by prior detrending in this paper. (The author has since developed a two-step procedure that eliminates the need for this prior detrending in AOKI (1987a)). The method is then applied to study interaction of the industrial production indices and ex ante real interest rates in the USA and Japan.
