Interview with Benedict Anderson
No full textOn October 1, 2008, Benedict Anderson presented a talk at Columbia University in which he discussed his upcoming book, a biography of the Chinese-Indonesian journalist Kwee Thiam Tjing. Having found a book of Kwee’s writings in a second-hand bookshop in Indonesia in 1962, Anderson describes his surprise that no one could identify the pseudonymous author, who wrote what Anderson considers to be “the greatest piece of prose written in the first half of the 20th century by anybody in Indonesia.” For years after Kwee’s death, Anderson explains, details of the journalist’s life and work were forgotten. It was only recently that Anderson was himself able to write about the author, in the process considering the role of cosmopolitanism in the life of the colonial subject

Misconceived Configurations of Ruth Benedict
No full textRuth Benedict has been the subject of a number of studies in both Japan and America. However, these studies have, up until now, maintained their international borders and avoided any cross-fertilization of knowledge. In America, three full length biographies, along with numerous other articles, have been devoted to the work and life of Benedict. In contrast, Japanese attention has mainly focused on Benedict's famous study of the Japanese, the Chrysanthemum and the Sword. Thus, on the Japanese side few have pursued the motivations of the author behind this book, whereas in America, Benedict the cultural anthropologist tends to figures large, leaving little room for discussion of Chrysanthemum.
Douglas Lummis, however, has attempted to straddle both sides of the fence with his piece A New Look at the Chrysanthemum and the Sword. Unfortunately, for his background knowledge on Benedict, he turns to Margaret Mead but fails to realise that the intricate relationship between Mead and Benedict has greatly influenced the portrait painted by her. The result is a rather heavy-handed attempt to prove that Chrysanthemum is merely a piece of "political literature" penned by a poet inhabiting the facade of a cultural anthropologist. Nevertheless, this image created by Lummis has managed to colour a large number of subsequent comments on both the book and author in Japan.
This paper will identify some of Lummis' major arguments against the background of the material he has used to formulate his arguments. Lummis' ideas derive from Mead's biography of Benedict, but by re-examining this biography and comparing it with other biographies on Benedict--and Mead--it becomes obvious that Mead's interpretation of Benedict's complex life was but one side of story. Thus, Lummis' use of Mead must also be considered when assessing the validity of his interpretation of Benedict
Benedict XVI’s Interpretation of the Psalms
No full textThis article aims to analyze the way Pope Benedict XVI quotes and interprets biblical psalms. In the introductory section, the author presents statistics and the ways in which Benedict XVI quotes Book of Psalms, and then offers a general, introductory look at psalms and their analysis in papal catechesis. In subsequent sections of the article, the author focuses on the pope’s historical-critical exegesis and linguistic analyses of the psalms, followed by the pope’s Christological, ecclesiological, Mariological, and actualizing reading of the Psalms. In the concluding section, the author discusses the relationship of the psalms to prayer, the pope’s references to the Fathers of the Church and recalls Benedict XVI’s most personal statements on the Psalms
