When Textile Design Meets Contemporary Art - Sudo Reiko: Making NUNO Textiles Exhibition at the Centre for Heritage, Arts and Textile, Hong Kong
No full textIn 2019, the Centre for Heritage, Arts and Textile (CHAT) in Hong Kong held an unprecedented solo exhibition by famed textile designer Reiko Sudo, entitled “Sudo Reiko: Making NUNO Textiles” Exhibition. This special exhibition showcased the classic textile designs of Sudo, as well as the stories of Japanese traditions and the local textile industry embedded in Sudo’s textiles from multiple perspectives, such as textile design, contemporary art, and creative media. The aims of this exhibition commentary are to analyze the characteristics of this special exhibition and how it responds to the contemporary concerns of museum studies and textile studies, and to provide relevant suggestions. Under the theme of “weaving the past and present”, this essay is divided into five topics: textiles and museums, from textile design to contemporary art, display and interactivity of textiles, textiles and place, and rethinking textile special exhibitions. The author argues that adopting a cross-disciplinary approach to the curation of textile exhibitions encourages curators, artists, and audiences to rediscover the diversified meanings of textile collections. For exhibitions related to the textile industry, a more inclusive narrative can be achieved by including the voices of local textile workers. There is increasing interest in the academic discussion of textiles and museums in Europe and America. However, such discussions in Asia have been limited. It is expected that this essay will serve to diversify the current academic discussions in the fields of textile and cultural studies and museum studies by providing a case study from Hong Kong and to promote and raise awareness of textile curation among museum professionals and researchers in Hong Kong and Asia.link_to_subscribed_fulltex

Hearing between the lines: the audience as fellow-worker in Luke-Acts and its literary milieu.
No full textIncludes bibliographical references (p. 322-351).The audience, and its varying levels of participation, is a vital element for the communication of a story. The stories of Jesus Christ as told in the gospels, and of the early Church as found in Acts, rely on the audience members and their participation as do all others. In fact, without audience participation, the narrative fails. Audience-oriented criticism, while named only recently, is an ancient phenomenon as old as story telling itself. This dissertation explores ancient rhetoricians' comments about the audience, as well as the kinds of audience participation expected and the tools used to encourage such participation. In the course of this project, it becomes clear that these tools were used in ancient pagan, Jewish, and Christian literature. Ancient rhetors and authors were quite concerned with engaging the audience—an engaged audience at the very least paid attention and in many cases helped the author create the story, making the audience more inclined toward moral formation. Modern rhetoricians, such as Meir Sternberg and Wolfgang Iser, deal with this phenomenon under the category of literary gap theory. Long before the modern novel and post-Enlightenment story-telling strategies, however, ancient speakers and writers left holes or gaps in their narratives, encouraging the audience to become "fellow-workers" (Mor. 48:14) with the speaker. Identifying ancient roots for such modern theories helps guard against anachronistic methodological missteps, while simultaneously preventing the same theories from being dismissed out of hand. The conclusions reached by this project impact not only the way biblical scholars view the rhetorical abilities of the Evangelists, but also the way in which modern readers "hear" the biblical narrative. The responsibility of audience participation did not end with the ancient audience. The modern audience also bears the responsibility of hearing between the lines, of creating the story with the ancient author. In our particular context as the people of God reading the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures, we are all the more likely to be persuaded by the argument we help complete, astonished by the pictures we help draw, and formed by the story we help create.by Kathy Reiko Maxwell.Ph.D
The structure and the evolution of essential patents for standards: Lessons from three IT standards
No full textThis paper examines the structure and the evolution of the patents declared as essential for three major technical standards in information technology (MPEG2, DVD and W-CDMA). These standards have many essential patents, which are owned by many firms with different interests. Many patents have been applied even after the standard was set. We analyze three important reasons for why the essential patents are many and increase over time: they cover a number of different technology fields, there exist R&D competition even in a narrowly defined technology field and a firm can expand its patent portfolio by using continuations and other practices based on the priority dates of its earlier filed patent applications in the USA. Around 40% of the essential US patents for MPEG2 and DVD standards have been obtained by using these applications. However, our empirical analysis suggests that a firm with pioneering patents does not obtain more essential patents, using these practices.standard, essential patent, continuations
Abe Yoshishige on 'Masaoka Shiki as a person'
No full textThis is a video of a talk by Reiko Abe Auestad (University of Oslo) for the "Haiku as World Literature: A Celebration of the 150th Birthday of Haiku Poet Masaoka Shiki", which took place on October 12 & 13, 2017 at Barristers Hall, Boston University. Recorded on October 12, 2017 by the Geddes Language Center.Reiko Abe Auestad is Professor at the University of Oslo. She is the author of Rereading Soseki: Three Early Twentieth-Century Japanese Novels (1998) which was republished in a digital form from CEAS Reprint Series for Rare and Out of Print Publications at Yale University (2016). Her recent essays include "Invoking Affect in Kawakami Mieko's Chichi to ran (Breasts and Eggs 2008)," Japan Forum (2016) and "Ibuse Masuji's Kuroi Ame (Black Rain 1965) and Imamura Shōhei's Film Adaptation (1989)," Bunron (2017). "The Affect that Disorients Kokoro" in The Review of Japanese Culture and Society and "Colliding Forms in Literary History: A Reading of Natsume Sōseki's Light and Dark" in the Routledge Companion to World Literature and World History are forthcoming. Together with Alan Tansman and Keith J. Vincent, she is also co-editing two collections of essays on the novelist Natsume Sōseki.In his essay on Masaoka Shiki on the fiftieth anniversary of his death, Abe Yoshishige discusses his view of Shiki "as a person," based on the anecdotes he has heard from his friends, relatives, and the novelist Natsume Sōseki, as well as on his own reading of some of Shiki's works (sixteen years his junior, Abe's first-hand experience with Shiki was rather limited). Abe's father, Abe Yoshitō, studied the Chinese classics under Shiki's maternal grandfather, Ōhara Kanzan, and his family closely associated with Shiki's mother, uncles and cousins. Yoshitō the doctor even saved Shiki's life when he suffered from cholera as a fourteen-year-old. Abe also talks about Sōseki's jestful description of Shiki as a "nikui otoko," (hateful, or headstrong person) which, together with other comparative observations of them which Abe makes, adds color to his characterization of Shiki. Beneath the tone of characteristic Confucian austerity, we get glimpses of Abe's warm feelings and pride about Shiki's achievement as a native of Matsuyama. Through a reading of this very personal, meandering essay, and Sōseki's short piece titled "Masaoka Shiki," this paper tries to take stock of the figure of Shiki as he appeared to Abe and others, as well as of the homosocial cultural milieu of which Shiki, Sōseki, and Abe Yoshishige were a part in the late nineteenth century
<Notes>Japanese Wives and Indonesian Housemaids in Jakarta
No full textこの論文は国立情報学研究所の学術雑誌公開支援事業により電子化されました。This is one result of research conducted by the author in Jakarta in 1975/76 with the help of Jopie Wangania. Sixty-eight Japanese wives and eighty-nine Indonesian domestic employees were interviewed intensively to discover any gap in expectations. The Indonesian housemaids regard Japanese wives as stingy, in spite of the relatively good wage they actually pay. The employees' judgement on stigyness bore a close relationship to the employers' behavior patterns in giving small gifts to the employees. The main complaints on the part of Japanese wives were that the maids tend to move frequently from employer to employer and that they seldom apologize when they do something wrong
Portret we wnętrzu — między socjologią a antropologią fotografii
No full textThis text is an attempt to analyze the works of a selection of contemporary artistic photographers (including Weronika Łodzińska, Reiko Imoto and Todda Hido) from the perspective of sociology and visual anthropology. The first is represented by the texts of Pierre Bourdieu as well as John Tagg, while the latter by Hans Belting and Gaston Bachelard. The author examines the photographic manner of picturing society and the cultural identity of the subjects — from the typical studio portrait through social projects (August Sander) to contemporary documentary photography in which the identity of the individual and their social position is shown without the presence of a model (Candida Höfer)
