Private Correspondence between Sir Harry Parkes and Edmund Hammond 1869-1872

Private Correspondence between Sir Harry Parkes and Edmund Hammond 1869-1872

This is a new series which publishes for the first time the correspondences of Sir Harry Smith Parkes (1828 – 1885) the second British Minister of Japan and includes the complete transcriptions of his ‘private’ letters to and from Edmund Hammond permanent Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs who was the decision maker about major issues in the British relation to Asia and his successors at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Chronologically arranged the series covers all such letters during his 18 years in Japan and with the first volume for Bakumatsu the end of the Shogunate era. Parkes arrived in Japan in 1865 as the second Minister Plenipotentiary and Consul General of the United Kingdom to Japan and stayed at the position till 1883. He was one of the few who observed Japan during its turbulent period of Westernization and supported the reformers to establish the new government. His efforts and services alongside his secretaries such as Ernest Satow George Aston and A. B. Freeman-Mitford saw the modernization of Japan starting under the strong influence of Britain. Despite his leading role between Japan and the West in early years his days and activities in Japan are less known and not widely studied due to the lack of primary source information as his experiences remained unpublished unlike his predecessor Rutherford Alcock who authored The Capital of the Tycoon or Ernest Satow’s A Diplomat in Japan. Apart from two volumes in Parkes’ biography by F. V. Dickins no contemporary sources of his life are available. This series of private correspondence of Sir Harry Parkes will fill such a gap and will be of interest for scholars and student of Japan and Anglo-Japanese history. All correspondence included in the volumes are fully annotated. Also included are his letters with other members of the ministry and documents such as conference minutes which will provide a comprehensive understanding of the subject. | Private Correspondence between Sir Harry Parkes and Edmund Hammond 1869-1872

The Future of the Nineteenth-Century Dream-Child Fantasy Dystopia Cyberculture

The Future of the Nineteenth-Century Dream-Child Fantasy Dystopia Cyberculture

This book investigates the reappearance of the 19th-century dream-child from the Golden Age of Children's Literature both in the Harry Potter series and in other works that have reached unprecedented levels of popular success today. Discussing Harry Potter as a reincarnation of Lewis Carroll's Alice and J. M. Barrie's Peter Pan Billone goes on to examine the recent resurrection of Alice in Tim Burton's Alice and of Peter Pan in Michael Jackson and in James Bond. Visiting trends that have emerged since the Harry Potter series ended the book studies revisions of the dream-child in texts and films that have inspired mass fandom in the twenty-first century: Stephenie Meyer's Twilight E. L. James's 50 Shades of Grey and Suzanne Collins's The Hunger Games. The volume argues that the 21st-century desire to achieve dream-states in relationship to eternal youth results from the way that dreams provide a means of realizing the fantastic yet alarming possibility of escaping from time. This current identification with the dream-child stems from the threat of political unrest and economic and environmental collapse as well as from the simultaneous technophilia and technophobia of a culture immersed in the breathless revolution of the digital age. This book not only explores how the dream-child from the past has returned to reflect misgivings about imagined dystopian futures but also reveals how the rebirth of the dream-child opens up possibilities for new narratives where happy endings remain viable against all odds. It will appeal to scholars in a wide variety of fields including Childhood Studies Children's/YA Literature Cinema Studies Cultural Studies Cyberculture Gender Studies Queer Studies Gothic Studies New Media and Popular Culture. | The Future of the Nineteenth-Century Dream-Child Fantasy Dystopia Cyberculture

Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music America Changed Through Music

Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music America Changed Through Music

Released in 1952 the Anthology of American Folk Music was the singular vision of the enigmatic artist musicologist and collector Harry Smith (1923–1991). A collection of eighty-four commercial recordings of American vernacular and folk music originally issued between 1927 and 1932 the Anthology featured an eclectic and idiosyncratic mixture of blues and hillbilly songs ballads old and new dance music gospel and numerous other performances less easy to classify. Where previous collections of folk music both printed and recorded had privileged field recordings and oral transmission Smith purposefully shaped his collection from previously released commercial records pointedly blurring established racial boundaries in his selection and organisation of performances. Indeed more than just a ground-breaking collection of old recordings the Anthology was itself a kind of performance on the part of its creator. Over the six decades of its existence however it has continued to exert considerable influence on generations of musicians artists and writers. It has been credited with inspiring the North American folk revival—The Anthology was our bible asserted Dave Van Ronk in 1991 We all knew every word of every song on it—and with profoundly influencing Bob Dylan. After its 1997 release on CD by Smithsonian Folkways it came to be closely associated with the so-called Americana and Alt-Country movements of the late 1990s and early 2000s. Following its sixtieth birthday and now available as a digital download and rereleased on vinyl it is once again a prominent icon in numerous musical currents and popular culture more generally. This is the first book devoted to such a vital piece of the large and complex story of American music and its enduring value in American life. Reflecting the intrinsic interdisciplinarity of Smith’s original project this collection contains a variety of new perspectives on all aspects of the Anthology. | Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music America Changed Through Music

The Bet Truth in Science Literature and Everyday Knowledges

The Bet Truth in Science Literature and Everyday Knowledges

First published in 1999 this epistemological volume takes Searle’s ‘simple theory’ and ‘common sense’ realism and builds it from the ground up applying it to some of the most contentious issues in the philosophy of science. Garry Potter shall also attempt to extent his notions of science and realism beyond the subject boundaries to demonstrate the applicability of both scientificity and realism where such a possibility is perhaps most counter-intuitive: literary criticism. Potter thus presents a unified theory of knowledge. | The Bet Truth in Science Literature and Everyday Knowledges

The Rise of Analytic Philosophy 1879–1930 From Frege to Ramsey

The Rise of Analytic Philosophy 1879–1930 From Frege to Ramsey

In this book Michael Potter offers a fresh and compelling portrait of the birth of modern analytic philosophy viewed through the lens of a detailed study of the work of the four philosophers who contributed most to shaping it: Gottlob Frege Bertrand Russell Ludwig Wittgenstein and Frank Ramsey. It covers the remarkable period of discovery that began with the publication of Frege's Begriffsschrift in 1879 and ended with Ramsey's death in 1930. Potter—one of the most influential scholars of this period in philosophy—presents a deep but accessible account of the break with absolute idealism and neo-Kantianism and the emergence of approaches that exploited the newly discovered methods in logic. Like his subjects Potter focusses principally on philosophical logic philosophy of mathematics and metaphysics but he also discusses epistemology meta-ethics and the philosophy of language. The book is an essential starting point for any student attempting to understand the work of Frege Russell Wittgenstein and Ramsey as well as their interactions and their larger intellectual milieux. It will also be of interest to anyone who wants to cast light on current philosophical problems through a better understanding of their origins. | The Rise of Analytic Philosophy 1879–1930 From Frege to Ramsey

New Directions in Children's Gothic Debatable Lands

New Directions in Children's Gothic Debatable Lands

Children’s literature today is dominated by the gothic mode and it is in children’s gothic fictions that we find the implications of cultural change most radically questioned and explored. This collection of essays looks at what is happening in the children’s Gothic now when traditional monsters have become the heroes when new monsters have come into play when globalisation brings Harry Potter into China and yaoguai into the children’s Gothic and when childhood itself and children’s literature as a genre can no longer be thought of as an uncontested space apart from the debates and power struggles of an adult domain. We look in detail at series such as The Mortal Instruments Twilight Chaos Walking The Power of Five Skulduggery Pleasant and Cirque du Freak; at novels about witches and novels about changelings; at the Gothic in China Japan and Oceania; and at authors including Celia Rees Frances Hardinge Alan Garner and Laini Taylor amongst many others. At a time when the energies and anxieties of children’s novels can barely be contained anymore within the genre of children’s literature spilling over into YA and adult literature we need to pay attention. Weird things are happening and they matter. | New Directions in Children's Gothic Debatable Lands

Thinking About Stories is a fun and thought-provoking introduction to philosophical questions about narrative fiction in its many forms from highbrow literature to pulp fiction to the latest shows on Netflix.

This unique format allows readers to feel like they are a part of the conversation about the philosophical foundations of some of the fictions in their own lives. Key Features Draws on a wide range of types of narrative fiction from Harry Potter to Breakfast of Champions to Parks and Recreation Explores how fiction despite its detachment from truth is often best able to teach us important things about the world in which we live Concludes by asking in the final chapter whether we all might be fictions Includes bibliographies and suggested reading lists in each chapter | Thinking about Stories An Introduction to Philosophy of Fiction

Pragmatics in Korean and Japanese Translation

Pragmatics in Korean and Japanese Translation

This book explores how the greater amount of pragmatic information encoded in Korean and Japanese can result in pragmatic (in)visibility when translating between those languages and English. Pragmatic information must be added when translating from English to Korean or Japanese and is easily lost when translating in the other direction. This book offers an analysis of translations in Japanese and Korean of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone and The Hobbit or There and Back Again to show how the translated versions crystallise the translators’ interpretations of relationships in the way characters address one another. This book discusses fan translations of Korean and Japanese to English of various popular media observing that the emotional meanings easily lost when translating in this direction are often deemed important enough to warrant the insertion of additional explanatory material. The book additionally discusses the role of fan translation in the construction of international online communities and a heightened communal commentary on translation. Western translation commentary has historically lacked sufficient emphasis on translation to and from East Asian languages and these case studies help to address a problem of central importance to translation to and from languages that encode interpersonal dynamics in dramatically different ways to English. This book will be of interest to students and researchers in translation studies particularly in Korean and Japanese translation. The book will also appeal to students and researchers of the Korean and Japanese languages. | Pragmatics in Korean and Japanese Translation

A Life Well Lived Dialogues with a “Kabouter

A Life Well Lived Dialogues with a “Kabouter

Manfred Kets de Vries wears many “hats”—psychoanalyst executive coach consultant management educator researcher writer—but he has noticed that whichever hat he is wearing every question he is asked boils down to one thing: “How can I live a well-lived life?” Over many years of practice in all these disciplines Professor Kets de Vries has realized the unsurpassed value of stories in tackling human dilemmas and providing answers to this question. The book is therefore one of the most important books he has written for coaches students leaders managers educators—or anyone seeking a more reflective text to guide them through the multitude of questions that we face in work and in life. He draws on a long literary tradition of the unexpected encounter with a wise “other ” fantastic or magical—think The Little Prince Alice's Adventures in Wonderland The Once and Future King the Harry Potter novels—to animate an exploration of the deepest questions and concerns of human beings. He constructs an extended Socratic dialogue between his two “selves”; the first a naïve traveler lost in the Siberian wilderness and the second a reflective avatar who comes to his aid. The avatar takes the form of a “kabouter ” a familiar figure in Dutch folklore whose counterpart can be found in different cultures around the world and throughout centuries of storytelling. Through stories riddles and puzzles the kabouter challenges the traveler to question and reflect upon his life and values guiding him—and readers—toward the insights that will help them achieve a life well lived. | A Life Well Lived Dialogues with a “Kabouter

Moral Responsibility and Alternative Possibilities Essays on the Importance of Alternative Possibilities

Moral Responsibility and Alternative Possibilities Essays on the Importance of Alternative Possibilities

This book explores an important issue within the free will debate: the relation between free will and moral responsibility. In his seminal article 'Alternate Possibilities and Moral Responsibility' Harry Frankfurt launched a vigorous attack on the standard conception of that relation questioning the claim that a person is morally responsible for what she has done only if she could have done otherwise. Since then Frankfurt's thesis has been at the center of philosophical discussions on free will and moral responsibility. Moral Responsibility and Alternative Possibilities edited by David Widerker and Michael McKenna draws together the most recent work on Frankfurt's thesis by leading theorists in the area of free will and responsibility. As the majority of the essays appear here for the first time Moral Responsibility and Alternative Possibilities offers the newest developments in this important debate. | Moral Responsibility and Alternative Possibilities Essays on the Importance of Alternative Possibilities

Fairy-Tale Revivals in the Long Nineteenth Century Volume II: Fairy- Tale Revival Dramas: Writing Wonder in Transatlantic Ethnic Literary Re

Volume two explores the way a wide range of classic princess tales written by marginalized writers. Rapunzel and Snow White with their pale skin or long ropes of golden hair are particularly popular vehicles for exploring and challenging racialized constructions of beauty. Marriage is the traditional vehicle of a happy ending in Princess tales so marginalized responses to these tales also inherently respond to the doubly colonized position of women in the Anglophone world. The institution of marriage typically exposes the institutional oppression of colonized women. Authors include Charles Chesnutt Jessie Fauset Julia Kavanaugh George Edwards some of the unpublished manuscripts of Jewish-Australian author Joseph Jacobs and the earliest work of Sinèad de Valera as well as fin-de-siècle illustrators such as Harry Clarke and collected oral tales. | Fairy-Tale Revivals in the Long Nineteenth Century Volume II: Fairy- Tale Revival Dramas: Writing Wonder in Transatlantic Ethnic Literary Re

Earmarked for Collision A Highly Biased Tour of Collage Animation

Collage art and film date back to the early 20th century (the earliest collages have roots in 12th-century Japan). It was rooted in the age of consumerism where artists addressed an array of political and social issues by creating a carefully crafted collision of pre-existing images and sounds to generate new meanings and commentaries on the surrounding world. Collage has also pushed the boundaries of animation by incorporating other artistic forms (e. g. photography live action experimental cinema literature found sound) while exploring an array of social cultural and political issues. In Earmarked for Collision award-winning writer Chris Robinson (The Animation Pimp Mad Eyed Misfits Unsung Heroes of Animation) takes us on a tour of the history of collage animation cataloguing the collage works of notable artists like Larry Jordan Harry Smith Stan Vanderbeek Terry Gilliam Janie Geiser Martha Colburn Lewis Klahr Run Wrake Lei Lei Kelly Sears Jodie Mack and many many others. | Earmarked for Collision A Highly Biased Tour of Collage Animation
