Diffusive author(s), cohesive author: Analysis of S/N (1994)
No full textThis study indicates the ways in which various aspects of the author(s) are brought forth in Dumb type’s performance art, the S/N production. Previous research has suggested a non-hierarchical organization of Dumb type and the absence of a “privileged author” in Dumb type’s collaborative work, S/N. However, the results that I have investigated from member’s interviews on the creative process of S/N along with my analysis of the recorded images of S/N, indicate a different aspect of the author(s). First, S/N was created through, so to speak, the collective ideas of the members of Dumb type. Further, S/N has at least nine quotations from previous performances, installations, and printed writings, besides the work-in-progress technique. Explicating one of the “author functions” as given by Michel Foucault, each text has plural subjects of the author. However, it has been revealed from members’ interviews that Teiji Furuhashi had a decision-making role in selecting the members’ ideas within the performance. Since then, S/N has had plural subjects of creation; however, Furuhashi is one of the subjects of creation along with the “privileged author.” S/N has plural authors (diffusive authors) yet at the same time, it has a “privileged author,” Teiji Furuhashi (cohesive author)
The Common Voice from Japan: A Performance Guide and Examination of the Three Unaccompanied Marimba Pieces Performed by Keiko Abe on October 4th, 1968
No full textabstract: ABSTRACT
Torse III (1965) by Akira Miyoshi, Two Movements for Marimba (1965) by
Toshimistu Tanaka, and Time for Marimba (1968) by Minoru Miki have remained “tour de force” pieces in the marimba repertoire since their inception nearly fifty years ago, yet they continue to present significant performance and interpretative issues to each new generation of marimbists. This document will serve as both a performance guide for advanced marimba performers, as well as provide insight into the aesthetic qualities that contribute to their lasting artistic significance.
Each piece will receive a designated chapter discussing the historical context, technical challenges, and general performance practices. The author will also present a designated chapter discussing the three over-arching aesthetic characteristics found in all three pieces: the use of the entire range of the instrument, the use of extreme contrasting dynamics and timbre, and the use of a common harmonic language.
Torse III, Two Movements, and Time were famously performed by Keiko Abe on her first classical marimba recital in 1968. This document will also help bring to light the enormous impact this recital had on the history of the marimba, as marimbists throughout the world today are forever indebted to Abe’s efforts.Dissertation/ThesisDoctoral Dissertation Music 201
Mis libros favoritos de Keiko Kasza. Una estrategia de animación a la lectura para estudiantes de transición
No full textThis study presents the design of a reading motivation strategy based on the use of six books
by the author and illustrator of children's literature Keiko Kasza, with the intention of
promoting reading among preschool students. The research was theoretically based on
formulations and standpoints on cognitive and language development. Encouragement of
reading and children's literature are also taken into account to design an innovative proposal
based on games which can be implemented in the school. The results obtained will depend
on the theory proposed and the general objective of the TFM, due to have been impossible,
because of causes of force majeure, carrying out the proposed intervention as it was expected.
However, it can be evidenced from a theoretical points of view that working with children's
literature in preschool stages enhances students love for reading and literature, when it is
carried out in a fun, practical and creative way.Este trabajo presenta el diseño de una estrategia de animación a la lectura basada en la
utilización de seis libros de la autora e ilustradora de literatura infantil Keiko Kasza, con la
intencionalidad de fomentar la lectura en los estudiantes de preescolar. Se inicia con unas
bases teóricas donde se tienen en cuenta algunos autores que hablan sobre el desarrollo
cognitivo y del lenguaje, animación a la lectura y literatura infantil, lo que da pie a que se
diseñe una propuesta innovadora en la que su metodología principal es el juego y en la que se
plantean actividades posibles de implementar dentro de la escuela. Los resultados obtenidos
dependen de la teoría planteada y del objetivo general del TFM, ya que por razones de fuerza
mayor no puedo llevarse a cabo la propuesta de intervención. Sin embargo, puede
evidenciarse desde lo teórico como el trabajo con la literatura infantil en estudiantes de
preescolar potencia en ellos el amor por la lectura y la literatura, si se hace de una manera
divertida, práctica y creativa
Current status of open access in biomedical field-the comparison of countries related to the impact of national policies
No full textThe purpose of the article is to show the current status of Open Access (OA) in biomedical field, and compare some countries such as the U.S., the U.K. and Japan in terms of the OA situation. There are controversies about the definition of OA. After examining the requirements about OA, we recognized OA as the situation in which researchers could read the full text of articles in unrestricted way. In order to investigate the current situation of OA, 4,756 articles were sampled randomly from articles published between January and September in 2005 and indexed in PubMed. The main results are as follows: 1) The rate of OA articles was 25%, and 75% of all the articles were available online including electronic subscription journal articles. 2) The means of OA was classified into five types. Among them, the rate of OA articles by “OA and Hybrid OA journals” was overwhelming (more than 70%), and that of PMC was 26.2%. The rates of OA articles by “institutional repositories” and “authors’ personal sites” were considerably low (6.0% and 4.9% respectively). 3) When comparing the rates of OA articles by countries, Belgium ranked the first with 41.7%. The five countries indicated more than 30% in OA articles: Canada and India (38.7%), Brazil (36.4%), Australia (30.8%), and the U.S. (30.7%). Each country was different in the means of OA. 4) We explored the rates of OA for two groups; one group consists of articles published in journals with IF, and the other consists of articles published in journals without IF. The rate of OA for the group of articles in journals with IF is 20.6%, and that of articles in journals without IF is 30.8%
FAKTOR PENYEBAB KONFORMITAS DALAM NOVEL KONBINI NINGEN

No full textConfined in France : the diary of a japanese woman - Comparison between cultures and participating observation
The author, who is Japanese, came to France to carry out a comparative survey of maternity in the two countries. During that period of research she herself gave birth to a child, which allowed her to be a "participating observer". Taking her personal case, associated with more general remarks, she follows the different steps from pregnancy to weaning, through delivery and being a mother in a maternity hospital and at home. She draws a parallel between the French and Japanese practices on several points such as the organization of the medical profession and the division of tasks, the use and the types of treatment, the work of the midwife, the fields of medicine and the system of social security. Thus she reveals the different social and cultural contexts in the practice of medicine and the distinctive characteristics in the behaviour and mindset of the two peoples.L'auteur qui est Japonaise est venue en France pour faire une étude comparative sur la maternité dans les deux pays. Pendant cette période de recherche, elle a eu elle-même un enfant ce qui lui a permis de faire une "observation participante". En prenant son cas personnel, associé à des remarques plus générales, elle suit les différentes phases qui vont de l'attente du bébé au sevrage en passant par l'accouchement, la vie maternelle en milieu hospitalier et à la maison. Elle établit un parallèle entre les pratiques françaises et japonaises sur différents points tels que l'organisation du corps médical et la division du travail, l'usage et les types de remèdes, les professions comme celle de sage-femme, les domaines médicalisés, le système de protection sociale. Ainsi apparaissent des différences dans les contextes sociaux et culturels de l'exercice de la médecine et des particularités dans les comportements et mentalités des deux peuples.Funabashi Keiko.
