El manga y la evolución de las leyes sobre pornografía en Japón

January 2011 · CIENCIA ergo sum

Carlos Zermeño

From 1945, with the American occupation, there was a radical change in the legal perception of sexually explicit material in Japan;
from an almost total sexual openness, to the absolute prohibition. In this work we explore the development of the laws that regulate
such content and we compare it with the history of Japanese comics, called manga, to see the relationships and dialogues between
both ... [Show full abstract]

Dialectics of dialect and dialectology: Culture, structure and ideology of 'the Kyôto dialect' of Ja...
October 2001 · Journal of Pragmatics

Wataru Koyama

This paper tries to advance a pragmatically-centered social theory of dialect and ‘dialectology’ (i.e., any knowledge, or ‘ideology’, about
dialects). After discussing methodological issues, it will focus on ‘the Kyôto dialect’, and (1) analyze how the region of ‘Kyôto’ is
pragmatically, culturally individuated; (2) provide a structural analysis of the local dialect, showing that it is not ... [Show full abstract]

Superflat Layering
January 2010

Kristy Balliet · Brennan Buck

Super flat was coined by Takashi Murakami to describe representation that is devoid of perspective and hierarchy, with multiple
components all existing equally and simultaneously. On many levels it references subculture, hyper graphics, the ultra cool, Japanese
cartoon cultures of manga (comic books) and anime (animation). In architecture the technique is often employed in facades, to
enhance the ... [Show full abstract]

Structuralism has its methodological root in the structural linguistics of Ferdinand de Saussure, whose synchronic study of language
systems stands in contrast to the diachronic and comparative studies of nineteenth-century philology. One of his contributions is his
opinion that language acquires meaning along two axes of relationships: syntagmatic and paradigmatic. As a fundamental thought, the

This study is a comparative analysis of the creation and development of visual techniques used in girls' comics in the paradigmatic low

expressive mechanisms employed in girls' comics in Eastern and Western cultures, and it is an investigation of this realm of
expression that ... [Show full abstract]

January 2001 · Taiikugaku kenkyu (Japan Journal of Physical Education Health and Sport Sciences)

Marcelo Cavalli · Kengo Fujiwara

Scholarly inquiry in the field of physical education (PE) can be said to be quite prolific in Japan considering the number of scientific
periodicals that are published in the country. Almost every university with a PE department has its own publication. and the same can
be said of regional and national PE societies. However, there has been little, if any, assessment of research trends focusing on ...

May 2013 · The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America

Keiichi Tajima · Kuniyoshi Tanaka · Andrew Martin · Reiko Mazuka

Japanese has traditionally been called "mora-timed," but studies have shown that this intuition is based not on durational tendencies
but rather on phonological, structural factors in the language. Meanwhile, infant-directed speech (IDS) is said to "exaggerate" certain
properties of adult-directed speech (ADS), including rhythm. If so, then it is possible that the mora rhythm of Japanese is more ...

Bodies of future memories: the Japanese body in science fiction anime

March 2015 · Contemporary Japan
Dolores Martinez

This paper analyzes the role of the fighting women in Japanese anime near the end of the twentieth century. It argues that these
female heroes are not just shōjo (‘young girls’) who represent Japan the nation, nor are they mere projections of otaku desire, or token
women included to attract female fans. Rather than that, I maintain that these female heroes are what could be described as “cyborg

Social Network Analysis by Wasserman and Faust: Its Value and Position in Social Network Analysis

January 2001 · Riron to Hoho / Sociological Theory and Methods

Ryuhei Tsuji

Social network analysis in Japan is biased toward personal network research. More attention should be paid to structurally oriented
researches. Social Network Analysis by Wasserman and Faust is a great textbook for learning structural analysis. However, this
textbook is not totally exhaustive, and there have been further developments in social network analysis since this textbook was
published. ... [Show full abstract]
