<Article>Politics and Confucians in Early Tokugawa Japan: A Focus on Hayashi Gahō during the Reign of Tokugawa Ietsuna
No full text幕府に出仕した林家を対象として、彼らが幕府の政治機構の中でどのような位置にあり、どのような役割を担っていたのかを明らかにし、その活動が近世日本の儒学浸透過程に対していかなる影響を有したかを論じる。対象とするのは家綱政権期の林鵞峰である。鵞峰は父の羅山らと異なり、将軍に近侍せず、その役割は幕府の政務機構の必要性に応じるものであった。鵞峰の役割は以下の五つに整理できる。文書の作成・校正、法度・目安の読み上げ、記録作成とその継承、故事考証、侍講・儒書講義。家綱政権期には超越的な強い君主がおらず、先例の記録や儀礼的な行為が重要なものとなったが、それを担ったのが鵞峰であり、その活動は次代における儒学的理念採用を準備するものであった。儒者林家は、一七世紀を通じて進んだ、幕府政治の「文」化 --歴史・記録の整備(寛永期)、儀礼化(寛文期)、儒学化(延宝末年)-- を支えた存在だった。This paper investigates the role and position of the Hayashi clan 林家 within the shogunate's political structure and analyzes how their activities influenced the spread of Confucianism in early modern Japan, with a particular focus on Hayashi Gahō 林鵞峰 and his contributions during the reign of Tokugawa Ietsuna (1651-1680). In early modern Japan, a crucial aspect in understanding how and why Confucianism was accepted lies in examining who the bearers of this acceptance were. While there is a scholarly view that Jusha 儒者 (Japanese Confucians) were outside the ordinary social classes, ' this should not be interpreted literally nor seen as reflecting reality. In practice, individual Jusha belonged to various social classes such as the samurai or townspeople. Examining how Confucianism permeated each social class is essential for understanding how it took root by considering social mobility and interaction among these classes. This paper examines the samurai class, especially focusing on those involved in shogunate politics. Within the shogunate, Hayashi Gahō is said to have played a significant role in the acceptance of Confucian ideals, yet his exact position and the role he played remain unclear. Why was the Hayashi clan, despite being Confucians, serving the shogunate even before Confucianism was widely accepted within the shogunate? The founder of the Hayashi clan, Hayashi Razan 林羅山 (1583-1657), was initially a townsman in Kyoto who aspired to be a Confucian scholar. However, he was later appointed as a retainer and was inducted into the samurai class by Tokugawa Ieyasu. We should examine how and why the newly established government sought to integrate the emerging Confucians into its official structure. Gahō, unlike his father Razan, did not serve in close proximity to the shogun. Razan and his brother Tōshū served as close aides to three consecutive shoguns. Gahō, however, was brought into the shogunate through the support of the Rōjū, rather than the shogun. Razan and his brother had dual roles: both in close service to the shogun and involved in administrative duties in coordination with the Rōjū. However, Gahō inherited only the latter role. Gahō's roles can be summarized in five points: (1) creation and editing of written documents in Japanese and Kanbun 漢文 (classical Chinese language); (2) reading aloud of hatto 法度(laws) and legal complaints, which involved performing ceremonial readings of laws on behalf of the shogun and practical readings of complaints at the Hyōjōsho 評定所 (the court); (3) compilation and preservation of records (Razan had compiled many records from the Kan'ei era (1624-1644) under the shogun's orders, and they were preserved by the Hayashi clan and used as precedents for ceremonies. Gahō also compiled records, but under the orders of the Rōjū); (4) engaging in the verification of old records and establishing historical facts in cases such as disputes related to temples and shrines (Gahō's historical texts, compiled through similar activities, were used by the Rōjū as guides for their political actions); (5) lectures on Confucian texts to the Rōjū and daimyo. Through these activities, Confucianism gradually permeated the core of the shogunate. Gahō's thoughts on these roles are reflected in his article “Ichinōshi den” 一能子伝. He idealized a situation in which the shogun would actively engage in governance, with Gahō serving nearby as a Confucian scholar advisor. However, at the time, Confucian knowledge and literature were not given much emphasis, and the shogun did not personally engage in politics. On the other hand, in the absence of a shogun capable of making judgments that could override those of officials and established precedents, the Rōjū had to rely on precedent to handle political affairs. In this context, Gahō, who was proficient in reading and writing and possessed records of the past, became indispensable. During the Ietsuna shogunate, Gahō was not only a shogunate retainer who was affected by the changing nature of the shogunate, but also an essential person supporting the advance of precedent-based decision-making and ceremonialization. Furthermore, his activities laid the groundwork for the adoption of Confucian ideals in the succeeding era. The focus of Tokugawa Shogunate politics shifted from martial affairs to culture and scholarship during the 17th century ‒ this included the systematization of history and records that occurred during the Kan'ei era, ceremonialization during the Kanbun era (1661-1673), and Confucianization during the late Enpō era (1680-1681). These changes were not solely undertaken by the samurai, who embodied the martial aspect of the regime, but were significantly influenced by the Hayashi clan, who were emerging Jusha equipped with scholarly attainments such as Confucian knowledge. The Hayashi clan gradually assimilated into the samurai class, while the samurai class simultaneously evolved under the influence of the Hayashi clan, becoming more oriented towards culture and scholarship, and undergoing Confucianization

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
