Japanese Culture and Therapeutic Relationship
No full textJapanese culture is collectivistic by nature, and there are some culturally indigenous patterns which govern forming relationships in Japan. One of the important patterns is hierarchy. Counselling and psychotherapy are based on Western concepts and the Japanese view them differently. When the Japanese provide or use counselling and psychotherapy services, they generally follow Japanese methods of forming relationships, which results in a hierarchical relationship between client and therapist. In this article, after the hierarchical nature of relationship in the Japanese cultural context is introduced, reflections of this pattern of relationship in the author\u27s therapeutic work with Japanese clients are presented. Suggestions as to how this dynamic can be used positively in the therapeutic setting are also made
Japanese Students\u27 Experience of Adaptation and Acculturation of the United Kingdom
No full textMany Japanese students come to the U.K. to study. In general, studying is their primary aim but some have additional reasons such as personal development through exposure to another culture. As a result of the homogeneity of Japanese society, Japanese people are not necessarily used to other cultures especially if they have only lived within Japan. Due to the vast differences between Japanese and British cultures, many students have difficulties in adapting to British society (Nippoda, 2011). This article presents some culturally specific factors that affect students\u27 adaptation based on research (Nippoda, 1993). It focuses on four main points arising from clinical work: the language barrier, differences in communication styles and educational systems, the individual\u27s motivation and external pressure, and the effects of students\u27 insecure status in the host country

Resenha de Livro: Fronteiras da Cidadania. Uma História Negra e Indígena do Brasil Pós-colonial, de Yuko Miki
No full textThe book by historian Yuko Miki represents an outstanding effort to combine two academic fields that have developed independently and rarely communicate with each other: studies on indigenous groups and studies on African-descendend peoples. Her goal is to understand the shared stories and the sometimes divergent trajectories of indigenous and African-descended populations that inhabited a region the author calls the «Atlantic frontier», during the period of the Brazilian Empire (1822-1889). The study shows that this type of academic integration can advance our understanding of nineteenth-century history. It also constitutes an exceptional example of a regional history that makes important contributions to key historiography about Brazil.El libro de la historiadora Yuko Miki constituye un destacado esfuerzo por poner a dialogar dos tradiciones académicas que se han desarrollado de forma independiente y rara vez se comunican: los estudios sobre indígenas y sobre afrodescendientes. Su objetivo es entender las historias compartidas y las trayectorias, a veces divergentes, de las poblaciones indígenas y afrodescendientes que habitaron una región que la autora identifica como «frontera atlántica» durante el período del Imperio brasileño (1822-1889). La obra no solo demuestra lo fructífera que puede ser tal integración académica para entender la historia del siglo XIX, sino que es un ejemplo excepcional de una historia regional que hace aportes indudables en algunos temas clave de la historiografía sobre Brasil.O livro da historiadora Yuko Miki é um esforço notável para colocar em diálogo duas tradições acadêmicas que se desenvolveram de forma independente e raramente são comunicadas: estudos indígenas e afrodescendentes.

A Performance Guide to Yuko Uébayashi’s Misericordia for Flute and String Quartet
No full textabstract: Yuko Uébayashi is a composer who was born in Japan and presently resides in France. She composed Misericordia for Flute and String Quartet for Carol Wincenc in 2013. The National Flute Association (NFA), the most active flute society in America, hosted the Misericordia performance during its annual convention in Chicago in 2014. Uébayashi’s flute works have not only been frequently performed at NFA conventions, but also at other well-known flute festivals since 2006, the year of her U.S. debut. Many current flutists are motivated to learn and play her compositions; however, there is little published literature about her works. Understanding her unique compositional style and obtaining a better knowledge of her music and compositional practices will help flutists and other musicians better perform and enjoy her music. With a performance guide and a detailed discussion of Misericordia, flutists and other musicians will understand why Uébayashi’s music is unique and why it is increasingly well-loved by so many players. This research paper will explore Uébayashi’s life, musical friendships, and most specifically, Misericordia.Dissertation/ThesisDoctoral Dissertation Music 201
