Master of Go plays Mahjong
No full textThe novel Master of Go (Kawabata 1954) tells about a soon-retiring professional player of the board game Go. Loosely documenting a single yet nearly six months long match of Go that took place in 1938, the book explores an exciting game that reflected the changing times of post-war Japan. Intriguingly, the ‘master’ Hon’inbō Shūsai is also an avid player of games other than Go. This article demonstrates how the concepts ‘coincident play’ (Wirman 2021) and ‘continuum of play’ (2014) help to unpack how games co-exist in people’s lived experiences and thus support and relate to each other in non-trivial ways. My interest is in where The Master of Go carefully describes how other games, namely the Japanese form of chess called Shogi, Mahjong, billiards, Ninuki and Renju, exist in relation to the ‘main game’ of Go played in the book. When discussing temporally adjacent play in relation to digital games, we should look for instances of play and games more broadly. We are players of games, not of a game. Our play traverses from one game to another and each game gives us something different. This is also why different life contexts and moments in person’s daily life call for different games. It is this traversing between games that is examined in this article

The Great War on the small screen: televisual narratives of the First World War.
No full textIn Britain since the 1960s television has been the site where the Western Front of popular culture has clashed with the Western Front of history. This talk will examine the ways in which those involved in the production of historical documentaries for this most influential media have struggled to communicate the stories of the First World War to British audiences. From the landmark epic series The Great War (BBC, 1964) up to more recent controversial productions such as The Trench (BBC, 2002) and Not Forgotten: The Men Who Wouldn't Fight (BBC, 2008), Emma Hanna will give an overview of the production, broadcast and reception of a number of British television documentaries to examine the difficult relationship between the war's history and its popular memory.

Fabeln
No full textThis 112-page book has a list of fabulists and a list of illustrations on its last page. The choice of representatives in this anthology puts stress on ancients, La Fontaine, Bidpai, and Germans. All the selections here are in prose. The style of illustration that Forster employs is simple. There is a short essay at the end: Allgemeines zu Fabel. The print in this essay is so small that it tests one's eyes! There are very good fables among this collection, starting with the very first, Lessing's Der alte Löwe (5). I miss, however, some organization, whether by subject or era or author. Other worthy fables I have noticed here in the first third include Pfeffel's Das Glühwürmchen und die Kröte (6); Meissner's Der schwörende Wolf (27); Langbein's Der Igel und der Hase (32); and Gleim's Der Löwe und der Fuchs (36). This book prints the US military government's permission to publish. Actually, it is a surprise to see a fable book published in Germany in 1946!This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Language note: GermanFirst editionAusgewählt und illustriert von Hanna Forste
