"Rivers of the soul" by Miyamoto Yuriko : biography of the author, translation, discussion
Get PDFMiyamoto Yuriko has been acclaimed as a writer for many years, although it is perhaps only since the war that her works have been made more readily available to the public. During much of her life, she was placed under a writing ban by the authorities and could publish little. Moreover, the works she wrote as a Communist, and her works on women in particular, were more readily accepted by the public after various social changes occurred in post-war Japan.
Most of her works, apart from essays and criticisms of which she wrote a great many, are autobiographical. This lends a deep credibility and vitality to her writing since her growth and development, both as a woman and as a writer, are vividly portrayed.
One of her works, "Kokoro no Kawa", is a short story describing in semi-autobiographical style her first marriage to Araki Shigeru. It depicts the protagonist's development, and her increasing awareness and understanding of her position, to the final climax of the story.
A translation of "Kokoro no Kawa" is here presented, together with a biography of Yuriko and a detailed analysis of the story itself
Miyamoto Yuriko: A trajetória de um "eu" feminino na história japonesa
Get PDFThe watakushi shōsetsu, or shishōsetsu — translated as I novel or narrative of the self — is a term used to classify many literary works written in Japan, especially those from the first half of the 20th, it brings together the most diverse types of texts under its name as long as the subject dealt with in them can be associated with reality, understood as the experiences lived by its author. This article deals with the trajectory of the Japanese writer Miyamoto Yuriko (1899-1951) in whose work political engagement and efforts to denounce the female condition in Japanese society play a central role, and examines the extent to which her writing, in which many autobiographical elements are present, would be further or closer to the notion of watakushi shōsetsu.O watakushi shōsetsu, ou shishōsetsu — que pode ser traduzido como romance, escrita ou narrativa do eu — é um termo usado para classificar muitas obras escritas no Japão, especialmente aquelas da primeira metade do século XX, e reúne os mais diversos tipos de textos sob a sua rubrica, bastando que o assunto tratado neles possa ser associado à realidade, entendida como as experiências vividas por seu autor. Este artigo trata da trajetória da escritora japonesa Miyamoto Yuriko (1899-1951), em cuja obra, o engajamento político e os esforços para denunciar a condição feminina na sociedade japonesa ocupam um papel central, e examina em que medida sua escrita, na qual muitos elementos autobiográficos estão presentes, se afastaria ou se aproximaria do watakushi shōsetsu

Care as Key to Political Aesthetics
No full textThe paper investigates the concept of care starting from Socrates and Plato to Italian Humanism, as the art of educating ourselves and others to live a good life. Taking into account some contemporary philosophical perspectives (Richard Shusterman; Yuriko Saito; Ellen Dissanayake) the author focuses on care in relation to the notion of sensitiveness, education and community. Then she claims that care has a key role within political aesthetics, understanding aesthetics as “theory of perception”, in line with the German philosopher Alexander Baumgarten
“Reading guidance as a part of Guidance”: A popular philosophy of reading guidance in Japan developed by Michio Namekawa in the 1940s
No full textIn this study, the author examines the development of Michio Namekawa’s philosophy on reading guidance, dokusho shido, which has been since the late 1940s one of the two pillars of school library philosophy in Japan. Namekawa is recognized as one of the key persons to cultivate the practice and philosophy of reading guidance in post-war Japan. To conduct the research, the author collects and examines all of Namekawa’s historical documents from the pre- to early post- WWII periods, when he developed his theory of reading guidance. The author finds that Namekawa’s philosophy can partially be traced back to the war period at which time a children’s cultural improvement movement occurred. Then, under the occupation after the war, the CIE Education Division led Namekawa to shape his philosophy and curriculum more concretely. Around 1949, he found important components of the concept of integrating reading guidance into a students’ personal life-Guidance, which Namekawa maintained throughout the post-war period
