Representación de las mujeres japonesas, su individualidad y desarrollo: La fórmula preferida del profesor de Yoko Ogawa y After Dark de Haruki Murakami
No full textYoko Ogawa y Haruki Murakami son dos de los escritores japoneses más reconocidos a nivel internacional. Ambos tienen una forma muy distinta de representar a las mujeres en su obra. Precisamente en After Dark (Murakami, 2004) y en La fórmula preferida del profesor (Ogawa, 2004) se pueden apreciar claramente estas representaciones. En la primera obra están Mari, Eri y Kaoru (entre otras mujeres) y en la segunda están “la asistenta” y “la viuda”. Murakami suele mostrar a mujeres que pueden entrar en una clasificación de “tipos” mientras que Ogawa les da mayor trasfondo. Esto se analizará con las novelas en español por medio de metodología de corpus lingüístico, revisión de literatura y examinando las novelas en japonés. En el caso de After Dark se puede ver que tanto Mari como Eri son personajes muy pasivos y Kaoru es un personaje firme y directo. En La fórmula preferida del profesor la protagonista empieza mostrándose calmada y obediente, pero a lo largo de la historia su personaje va cogiendo proactividad. La viuda se suele mostrar seria y digna, pero hacia el final de la historia se descubre otro lado de ella.Yoko Ogawa and Haruki Murakami are worldwide renowned Japanese authors. Both have a very different style when it comes to the representation of women in their books. Precisely in After Dark (Murakami, 2004) and in The Housekeeper and the Professor (Ogawa, 2004) these representations can be observed. In the first novel the female characters are Mari, Eri and Kaoru (among others) and in the second one there are “The Housekeeper” and “The Widow”. Murakami tends to show women that can be classified as a “type”, meanwhile Ogawa gives them more complexity. This will be analyzed through the Spanish versions of the books with corpus linguistics methodology, literature review and examining the Japanese version of the books. In After Dark’s case, it is visible that Mari and Eri are passive character, while Kaoru is more firm and straightforward. In The Housekeeper and the Professor, the main character starts showing herself as calm and obedient but throughout the story she becomes more proactive. The widow tends to be serious and dignified, but towards the end another aspect of her is shown.Pregrad
Analysis on ƒÀ and ƒÐ Convergences of East Asian Currencies
No full textThis paper investigates recent diverging trends among East Asian currencies as well as recent movements of the weighted average value of East Asian currencies (Asian Monetary Unit: AMU) and deviations (AMU Deviation Indicators) of the East Asian currencies from the average values by ƒÀ and ƒÐ convergence methods. Our empirical analysis shows that linkages with the US dollar have been weakening since 2001 or 2002 for some of the East Asian countries. On the other hand, the monetary authority of China continues stabilizing the exchange rate of the Chinese yuan against the US dollar even though it announced its adoption of a currency basket system. It is found that the weighted average of East Asian currencies has been appreciating against the US dollar while depreciating against the currency basket of the US dollar and the euro until the global financial crisis in 2008. Also, the analytical results on ƒÀ and ƒÐ Convergences show that deviations among the East Asian currencies have been widening@in recent years, reflecting the fact that these countriesf monetary authorities are adopting a variety of exchange rate systems. In other words, a coordination failure in adopting exchange rate systems among these monetary authorities increases volatility and misalignment of intra-regional exchange rates in East Asia.
Mechanical thermal noise in coupled oscillators
No full textA correct prediction of the thermal noise spectrum is crucial to design properly gravitational wave detectors which are intrinsically limited by this kind of fluctuation. The off-resonance slope of the spectrum can be predicted using the fluctuation-dissipation theorem and it must be consistent and compatible with the spectrum obtained through the normal mode representation. We investigate this comparison leading to a deeper understanding of the thermal noise prediction tools

No full textHealing Literatures by Contemporary Japanese Female Authors: Yoshimoto Banana, Ogawa Yoko, and Kawakami Hiromi
No full textIn this dissertation, I examine three popular contemporary Japanese female writers—Yoshimoto Banana (b.1964), Ogawa Yoko (b.1962), and Kawakami Hiromi (b.1958), who all debuted after the peak of Japan’s bubble economy in the late 1980s. Focusing on the works of these three living authors, I investigate the ways in which they deal with the theme of spiritual and emotional healing, and how they are original in the world of Japanese literature. Since they are all women, in terms of feminist context, I also look into how differently they respond to the gender issues from the prior generation of female authors.In Introduction, I begin with the examination of how prewar authors dealt with the theme of spiritual healing. Using Snow Country (1937) by the male writer Kawabata Yasunari and “A Floral Pageant” (1937) by the female author Okamoto Kanoko (1899-1939), I discuss the commonality of these two authors, apart from the evident disparities related to their difference in gender. Their stories both end with the description of their protagonist’s spiritual climax, associated with their transcendental leap from their everyday reality. Comparing those prewar authors, I discuss how differently the three contemporary authors approach the same topic. In terms of their common gender, I also address outstanding characteristics of feminist messages delivered by their previous generation of female authors from the postwar to the 1970s, and how our authors are different from the previous ones in terms of their interest in feminism and women’s issues.Chapter 1 examines the novels of Yoshimoto Banana, the author who debuted before the other two. I begin with an analysis on how her interest in spirituality is related to the social background of the bubble-collapse period between the late 1980s and the early 1990s—in relation, in particular, to the healing boom and the impact of Aum Shinrikyō’s sarin gas attack on Tokyo Subways in 1995. With her critiques on the so-called shin shin shūkyō, newly established religious groups, she claims that spiritual healing should be based on one’s awakening of his or her connection with nature to be blessed. And she stresses and encourages with that awareness to live through everyday reality with hope.Chapter 2 explores works of Ogawa Yoko. I analyze how she develops her theme of girlhood by examining her earlier works, which recurrently focus on her adolescent protagonists’ anxieties—their fear of separation from their girlhood and their frustration about moving into a sexualized female adulthood. At the end of this chapter, I examine Mīna’s March, a work, which extensively features a young protagonist’s girlhood and her days growing up. Ogawa implies that richness of girlhood—free from sexuality and gender tensions—is the key source for female mental growth.Chapter 3 investigates stories of Kawakami Hiromi. I begin with an introduction of her essays, which show her core theme of “sakaime” (borderline realm). I examine her earlier stories about relationships between human and nonhuman characters, and as well as her later stories about relationships between two human characters. I consistently find that the “sakaime” opens her protagonists to an animistic vision of a human relationship with nature—a vision which human lives are part of nature’s vast, unsteady, and ever-changing life flows. Ultimately, the animistic sensitivity works for her protagonists’ inner growth.In conclusion, I summarize the three authors’ differences and commonalities in spiritual and emotional healing and related topic such as female independence, individualities, and the human relationship with nature. I conclude that the three authors responded in a timely and effective manner to the needs of the readers in the contemporary society of Japan.</div
