Doing Occidentalism in Contemporary Japan: Nation Anthropomorphism and Sexualized Parody in Axis Power Hetalia,
No full textAxis Powers Hetalia (2006–present), a Japanese gag comic and animation series, depicts relations between nations personified as cute boys against a background of World War I and World War II. The stereotypical rendering of national characteristics as well as the reduction of historically charged issues into amusing quarrels between nice-looking but incompetent boys was immensely popular, especially among female audiences in Japan and Asia, and among Euro-American manga, anime, and cosplay fans, but it also met with vehement criticism. Netizens from South Korea, for example, considered the Korean character insulting and in early 2009 mounted a protest campaign that was discussed in the Korean national assembly. Hetalia's controversial success relies to a great extent on the inventive conflation of male-oriented otaku fantasies about nations, weapons, and concepts represented as cute little girls, and of female-oriented yaoi parodies of male-male intimacy between powerful "white" characters and more passive Japanese ones. This investigation of the original Hetalia by male author Hidekaz Himaruya (b. 1985) and its many adaptations in female-oriented dōjinshi (fanzine) texts and conventions (between 2009 and 2011, Hetalia was by far the most adapted work) refers to notions of interrelationality, intersectionality, and positionality in order to address hegemonic representations of "the West," the orientalized "Rest" of the world, and "Japan" in the cross-gendered and sexually parodied mediascape of Japanese transnational subcultures

Evaluation of Cercospora oryzae Miyake under natural pressure conditions.
No full textObjective: This study is a contribution to the knowledge of Cercospora oryzae Miyake, in order to increase yields. It will consist in: i) evaluating the resistance of five varieties of rice, ii) evaluating the effect of Cercospora oryzae Miyake on the leaf and panicle stages and iii) evaluating the yield.Methodology and results: The study will combine phenotypic and agromorphological tools. On the ninety first (91th) day after sowing, a high incidence of leaf Cercosporiosis was recorded on the varieties TS2 (29.74%), FKR34 (27%) and a very low incidence on the variety ORYLUX6 (5, 78%). From tillering to panicle initiation, the rate of progression of the epidemic r2 = 0.879 is significant in TS2. The ORYLUX6 variety is the most capable of slowing the progression of the epidemic. At the panicular level, from the pasty grain stage to the milky grain stage, the incidence has increased for most of the varieties. The ORYLUX6 recorded the highest yield with 4.38 t/ ha.Conclusion and application potential of the results: Cercospora oryzae Miyake causes a drop in yield by reducing the leaf area of thr leaves. Cercospora oryzae Miyake is an important disease of rice in Sud-Benin. These results constiyute a stage of an in-depth research work on the characterization (agronomic and genetic) of Cercospora oryzae Miyake in order to propose methods of control.
Objectifs : L’étude a été une contribution à la connaissance de Cercospora oryzae Miyake afin d’accroitre les rendements. Elle a consistée a : i) évaluer la résistance de cinq variétés de riz, ii) évaluer l’effet de Cercospora oryzae Miyake sur les stades foliaires et paniculaires et iii) évaluer le rendement.Méthodologie et résultats : L’étude a combinée des outils phénotypiques et agromorphologiques. Au quatre-vingt onzième jour après semis on a enregistré une forte incidence de la cercosporiose foliaire sur les variétés TS2 (29,74%), FKR34 (27%) et une très faible incidence sur la variété ORYLUX6 (5,78%). Du stade tallage à l’initiation paniculaire le taux de progression de l’épidémie r2=0,879 a été important chez TS2. La variété ORYLUX6 a été la plus apte à freiner la progression de l’épidémie. Du stade grain pâteux au stade grain laiteux l’incidence à augmentée pour la plus part des variétés. ORYLUX6 a enregistré le rendement le plus élève (4,38 t/ha).Conclusion et application potentielle des résultats: Cercospora oryzae Miyake entraine une baisse de rendement en réduisant les surfaces foliaires des feuilles. La cercosporiose est une affection importante du riz au Sud-Bénin. Ces résultats constituent une étape d’un travail de recherche approfondi sur la caractérisation (agronomique et génétique) de Cercospora oryzae Miyake afin de proposer des méthodes de luttes

Type species: Gnorimus tibialis Chûjô, 1938 (= Gnorimus pictus Moser, 1902), by original designation. Differential diagnosis. By strongly curved inward male mesotibia and inflexed male metatibia, this genus can be easily separated from other genera of the Eurasian Trichiini. It differs from the most similar genus Gnorimus by the following characteristics (modified from Miyake & Iwase (1991): body convex (Fig. 47; flat in Gnorimus); dorsal surface matt (usually bright in Gnorimus); anterior margin of clypeus not raised (distinctly raised in Gnorimus); mesometasternal process distinct and long (Fig. 2; almost invisible in Gnorimus); scutellum subtriangular (semicircular in Gnorimus); male abdomen without groove (Fig. 2; with a longitudinal groove in Gnorimus); female pygidum without groove (Fig. 5; with a medial groove in dorsal view in Gnorimus); male mesotibia abruptly expand inward in distal portion (Fig. 1; gradually expand inward in Gnorimus); male metatibia inflexed (Fig. 1; straight in Gnorimus); segment 1 of male mesotarsus distinctly elongated and pilose (Fig. 1; segment 1 unmodified and glabrous in Gnorimus); parameres margins almost parallel, and outer margin sharply protrude outward in apex (Fig. 37; margins constricted and without sharply protruding in Gnorimus). Distribution. Oriental region.Published as part of Qiu, Jian-Yue, Xu, Hao & Chen, Li, 2019, Coloration variability of the Oriental genus Agnorimus Miyake & Iwase, 1991 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae, Cetoniinae) with synonymic notes, pp. 531-545 in Zootaxa 4585 (3) on page 533, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4585.3.8, http://zenodo.org/record/264026
Mostri made in Japan. Orientalismo e auto-Orientalismo nell'epoca della globalizzazione
No full textSince the release of the pioneering film Gojira, monsters made in Japan have not only reached a prominent status in the international Hall of Fame of modern monsters, but are also becoming a major trademark of ‘Japanese culture’, or, rather, of its contemporary and more popular version: ‘J-culture’. In Japan itself, the proliferation and success of new monsters represent only one facet of the growing enthusiasm for spiritual traditions, mysticism and the ‘other-world’ (ikai), inhabited by an even larger population of old monsters (yōkai, bakemono, yūrei). Government sponsored research projects, national museum exhibitions and academic books are all bestowing institutional approval on ‘monsterology’ (yōkaigaku) and, indirectly, on popular fascination with the supernatural dimensions of national roots and culture. This paper will explore the success of Japanese monsters in the context of the complex relationships between external Euro-American perspectives and internal Japanese ones. Despite different orientations, towards the definition of alterity (orientalism) on the one hand, and of identity (self-orientalism) on the other, the reciprocity and complicity of these two perspectives has proven strategic in modern nihonjinron rhetoric, when influentialEuro-American and Japanese actors both played a kind of mirror-game by articulating and mutually reflecting the myth of an essentialized and unique ‘Japanese culture’. The emergence of monsters as one trademark of ‘J-culture’ offers the opportunity to verify the (dis)continuity with previous discourses by addressing the metaphorical aspects of monstrosity, with its connotations of ambivalence, hybridism, excess, and its potential to articulate a post-modern version of the mirror-game more suited to the new dynamics of globalization

L'Italia nei manga: specchio identitario e convergenza mangaesque
No full textL'Italia è diventata negli ultimi due decenni in Giappone un "Occidente" sempre più popolare, tanto da venire indicata come nazione straniera più amata fra tutta la popolazione femminile e giovanile. Il perdurante boom del Bel Paese (Itaria būmu) ha condizionato anche la nuova generazione di mangaka, che da parte sua ha contributo alla riproduzione del fenomeno con un numero crescente di manga ambientati in Italia o dedicati a qualche aspetto della sua cultura.
Questa ricognizione sulle rappresentazioni dell'Italia nei manga più popolari dell'ultimo decennio costituisce in primo luogo un tentativo di mappare alcune delle sue icone più ricorrenti: la cucina, il passato romano e rinascimentale, o il più recente antropomorfismo di tipo moe in ambito subculturale giovanile. In secondo luogo, offre un'occasione per esplorare i recenti sviluppi in senso transmediale del mondo manga in grado di sovrapporsi ad altri media contigui (animazione, videogiochi, graphic design, ecc.), fino a inaugurare una più ampia convergenza mangaesque sempre più globalizzata.
In questa ottica, la crescente diffusione dell'Italia mangaesque proprio in Italia offre un'opportunità ancora più preziosa per tutti noialtri, sia per interpellarci in chiave auto-riflessiva, sia per partecipare in termini più critici e polifonici al gioco di specchi identitari del XXI secolo. In altre parole, l'Italia nei manga come spazio aperto all'interrogativo infinito circa la propria identità mediata dallo specchio (s)confinante dell'altro
