Mientras los rebeldes de Punto Omega se preparan para luchar contra los soldados del sector 45, Adam está más preocupado por la seguridad de Juliette, Kenji y su hermano.

Tsumi - Offence and Retribution in Early Japan

Autor: Yoko Williams

Número de Páginas: 248

Covering the period from before the emergence of the first political units through to the formation of the Japanese ritsuryo state in the 8th century, this book offers a ground-breaking scholarly diachronic analysis of tsumi (offence and retribution) from a politico-historical perspective. Taking as its starting point the native forms of tsumi in the realms of myth and prayer, the study traces their development through the periods of the formation of the state and the centralization of the governing structure, to the introduction of a written-law system of governing. Through detailed and logical analysis this study illuminates early Japanese political thought, written and unwritten law and the essentially political notion of tsumi.

Indigeneity in African Religions

Autor: Afe Adogame

Número de Páginas: 297

Based on religious ethnography, in-depth interviews and archival data, Indigeneity in African Religions explores the historical origins, worldviews, cosmologies, ritual symbolism and praxis of the indigenous Oza people in South West Nigeria. The author's locationality and positionality plugs the book within decolonizing knowledges and indigeneity discourses, thus unpacking the complexity of “indigeneity” and contributing to its conceptual understanding within socioreligious change in contemporary Africa. The future of Oza indigeneity in the face of modernity is illuminated against the backlash of encounters, contestations with multiple hegemonies, transmissions of Christianity and Islam and indigenous (re)appropriations. Thus, any theorizations of such encounters must be cognizant of instantiations of indigeneity politics and identity, culture, tradition and power dynamics. Through decolonizing burdens of history, memory and method, Afe Adogame demonstrates a framework of understanding Oza indigenous religious,sociocultural and political imaginaries.

Manual práctico para la detección y el tratamiento integral del síndrome metabólico plantea el objetivo de mostrar las evidencias científicas que se han obtenido en los pacientes mexicanos para entender la historia natural de esta afección. El síndrome metabólico es evolutivo y tiene diferentes subtipos fisiopatológicos, por lo que su expresión clínica es diversa y se clasifica en estadios o etapas clínicas, las cuales son evolutivas e incluyen una etapa temprana, que tiene inicio en una persona que es sedentaria, con antecedentes familiares de enfermedad crónica no transmisible y que lleva a cabo una alimentación no saludable, con incremento del aporte calórico que condiciona un incremento del tejido adiposo, sobre todo el abdominal (adiposidad), y el desencadenamiento de una inflamación crónica de bajo grado y resistencia a la insulina.

Listen to the silence of the child

Autor: Corina Giacomello

Número de Páginas: 80

Following an initial publication in 2022 on children whose parents use drugs, the Pompidou Group has continued research on this topic by giving 110 women who use drugs, in 11 different countries, the opportunity to provide their testimonies, which appear in a second volume entitled: We are warriors – Women who use drugs reflect on parental drug use, their paths of consumption and access to services. With this third volume, 33 children in five countries are given the floor with the aim of making their experiences visible and ensuring that their voices are listened to, thus breaking the silence that surrounds the impact of parental drug use on children and letting them know that they are not alone. Children were approached by services that already work with them, mainly drug treatment or harm reduction services, although in some cases child protection services were also involved. The children’s voices are expressed with delicacy, introspection, firmness and sometimes confusion or uncertainty. Only by listening to children and giving them feedback can an effective, human rights-based, participatory children’s rights agenda be transformed into action. The Children and families...

Buddhist-Confucian Polemics in Seventeenth-Century Japan

Autor: W.j. Boot

Número de Páginas: 361

The History of Thought of the Edo Period is a lively area of research. You have the choice between Shinto, Confucianism, Buddhism, National Studies, and Dutch Studies, none of which was the state ideology, and all of which were practised together in a small, interactive intellectual world. The intellectuals shared a common language (classical Chinese), and polemics was one of the ways in which they interacted. This volume contains the new, annotated translations of two of such polemical treatises (dating from 1686 and 1687): two Buddhist monks attacking the "arch-Confucian" Hayashi Razan (1583-1657) in the name of Buddhism and Shinto.

A Thesaurus of African Languages

Autor: Michael Mann , David Dalby

Número de Páginas: 560

Originally published in 1987, this thesaurus is concerned with the spoken languages of Africa. Languages are grouped into a relatively large number of sets and subsets within which the relationship of languages to one another is locally apparent and uncontroversial. The volume presents the languages in classified order with notes on each language, their variant names and immediate classification, and reference to the sources consulted. One section offers an exhaustive list of the languages spoken as home languages by local communities in each state, together with details of languages widely used for inter-group communication, given official recognition, or used in education or the media. There are brief phonological analyses of a broad sample of some 20 African languages and a comprehensive bibliography and language index to the whole work

In Memoriam to Identity

Autor: Kathy Acker

Número de Páginas: 276

Kathy Acker's characteristically outrageous, lyrical, and hyperinventive novel concerns three characters who share an impulse toward self-immolation through doomed, obsessive romance. Teetering somewhere between the Beats and Punk, IN MEMORIAM TO IDENTITY is at once a revelatory addition to, and an irreverent critique of, literature of decadence and self-destruction.

Portuguese Colonial Cities in the Early Modern World

Autor: Liam Matthew Brockey

Número de Páginas: 480

Portuguese Colonial Cities in the Early Modern World is a collection of essays on the cities of the Portuguese empire written by the leading scholars in the field. The volume, like the empire it analyzes, has a global scope and a chronological span of three centuries. The contributions focus on the social, political, and economic aspects of city life in settlements as far apart as Rio de Janeiro, Mozambique Island, and Nagasaki. Despite the seeming (and real) disparities between the colonial cities located in South America, Africa, and Asia, this volume demonstrates that they possessed a range of commonalities. Beyond their shared language, these cities had similar social, religious, and political institutions that shaped their identities. In many cases, the civic bodies analyzed in these essays such as the city councils or the Misericórdias (charitable brotherhoods), no less than the convents and houses of Catholic religious orders, contributed more to making these cities Portuguese than their allegiance to the crown in Lisbon. Rather than dividing the globe into Atlantic and Indian Ocean spheres, Portuguese Colonial Cities in the Early Modern World takes the novel approach of...

Creating Kabuki Plays

Autor: Katherine Saltzman-li

Número de Páginas: 272

This volume makes available for the first time a complete translation in English of a key text for our understanding of Kabuki, viz. Kezairoku, Sakusha Shikihô (Valuable Notes on Playwriting, A Playwrights’ Methodology, written 1801), being the only extant treatise fully devoted to the subject of Kabuki playwriting. At the hand of this vital text, the author addresses the history, methodology, and practitioners of Kabuki playwriting of the Edo Period (1603-1867.) The reader will find a critical examination of Kezairoku, and discussions regarding the connections between the Kabuki and literary worlds of Edo Japan, and between playwriting and the oral arts. The availability of the entire Kezairoku in English, together with a full contextualization of its teachings and meanings, offers a volume of great significance to both Japan and theatre scholars.

The Face of Jizo

Autor: Hank Glassman

Número de Páginas: 321

“Farther on, I find other figures of Jizo, single reliefs, sculptured upon tombs. But one of these is a work of art so charming that I feel a pain at being obliged to pass it by. More sweet, assuredly, than any imaged Christ, this dream in white stone of the playfellow of dead children, like a beautiful young boy, with gracious eyelids half closed, and face made heavenly by such a smile as only Buddhist art could have imagined, the smile of infinite lovingness and supremest gentleness. Indeed, so charming the ideal of Jizo is that in the speech of the people a beautiful face is always likened to his—‘Jizo-kao,’ as the face of Jizo.” —Lafcadio Hearn, Glimpses of an Unfamiliar Japan (1894) Stone images of the Buddhist deity Jizo—bedecked in a red cloth bib and presiding over offerings of flowers, coins, candles, and incense—are a familiar sight throughout Japan. Known in China as a savior from hell’s torment, Jizo in Japan came to be utterly transformed through fusion with the local tradition of kami worship and ancient fertility cults. In particular, the Jizo cult became associated with gods of borders or transitions: the stone gods known as dosojin. Although the...

Seppuku

Autor: Andrew Rankin

Número de Páginas: 279

The history of seppuku—Japanese ritual suicide by cutting the stomach, sometimes referred to as hara-kiri—spans a millennium, and came to be favored by samurai as an honorable form of death. Here, for the first time in English, is a book that charts the history of seppuku from ancient times to the twentieth century through a collection of swashbuckling tales from history and literature. Author Andrew Rankin takes us from the first recorded incident of seppuku, by the goddess Aomi in the eighth century, through the "golden age" of seppuku in the sixteenth century that includes the suicides of Shibata Katsuie, Sen no Rikyū and Toyotomi Hidetsugu, up to the seppuku of General Nogi Maresuke in 1912. Drawing on never-before-translated medieval war tales, samurai clan documents, and execution handbooks, Rankin also provides a fascinating look at the seppuku ritual itself, explaining the correct protocol and etiquette for seppuku, different stomach-cutting procedures, types of swords, attire, location, even what kinds of refreshment should be served at the seppuku ceremony. The book ends with a collection of quotations from authors and commentators down through the centuries,...

Nihongi

Número de Páginas: 892

Nihongi: Chronicles of Japan from the Earliest Times to A.D. 697, often called the Nihonshoki, is one of Japan's great classics of literature. Regarded as one of the seminal original authorities on the mythology and ancient history of Japan, it remains as fresh today as when it was written in the eighth century. It provides a vivid picture of a nation in formation. In the Nihongi, we see the growth of national awareness following the assimilation of Buddhism and the general Chinese and Indian influence on Japanese culture. Before its history stretch the mysterious archaeological ages of Jomon and Yayoi. From the first chapter, “The Age of the Gods,” the fantastic world of ancient Japan is laid before us. Ritual myth and superstition meet with bare feet and folk custom. Strong emotions and conflict are seen surging in Japan’s antiquity. Few historical documents are as “human” as the Nihongi. For a thousand years, emperors, scholars, courtiers, and imperial historians have found in the Nihongi knowledge and guidance. It remains a key to early Japan, a gateway to the actual old Japan. The translator of the Nihongi, William George Aston, pioneered the translation of Japanese ...

Japanese Death Poems

Número de Páginas: 368

"A wonderful introduction the Japanese tradition of jisei, this volume is crammed with exquisite, spontaneous verse and pithy, often hilarious, descriptions of the eccentric and committed monastics who wrote the poems." --Tricycle: The Buddhist Review Although the consciousness of death is, in most cultures, very much a part of life, this is perhaps nowhere more true than in Japan, where the approach of death has given rise to a centuries-old tradition of writing jisei, or the "death poem." Such a poem is often written in the very last moments of the poet's life. Hundreds of Japanese death poems, many with a commentary describing the circumstances of the poet's death, have been translated into English here, the vast majority of them for the first time. Yoel Hoffmann explores the attitudes and customs surrounding death in historical and present-day Japan and gives examples of how these have been reflected in the nation's literature in general. The development of writing jisei is then examined--from the longing poems of the early nobility and the more "masculine" verses of the samurai to the satirical death poems of later centuries. Zen Buddhist ideas about death are also described...

Autor: Paco Martínez Campoamor

Número de Páginas: 316

Hace casi dos mil años, cuando Japón todavía no era un país, se creía en el alma de las palabras, el kotodama, que les confería un poder mágico o espiritual. El Kotodama es el hilo conductor de este ensayo ilustrado por el autor con «estampas japonesas» literarias, donde chamanas, sacerdotisas miko, narradoras orales kataribe, damas de compañía nyobo —como Sei Shonagon, Izumi Shikibu, Murasaki Shikibu y la dama Sarashina, entre otras—, que junto con las vendedoras de canciones y sonrisas asobi y kugutsu, las cantantes de vestido blanco shirabyoshi y las monjas budistas itinerantes goze y bikuni, son las protagonistas y sus voces resuenan en estas páginas. A lo largo del libro, se entrelaza la historia del Japón clásico con mitos, creencias, religión, la vida social y los comportamientos sexuales. Un contexto en el cual las voces femeninas ejercerán su función de innovadoras en la cultura del Período Heian. Unas, desde la penumbra de sus habitaciones en los palacios y hermosas villas de la capital Heian-kyo, serán las artífices de la evolución de la oralidad a la literatura. De sus pinceles surgirán las grandiosas obras narrativas del Japón clásico....

Diabetes. Atención integral

Número de Páginas: 314

La progresión de la epidemia de diabetes hace prever que puede llegar a haber una mayoría de pacientes diabéticos en ciertos grupos sociales o etarios. Ciertamente, el conocimiento ha avanzado tanto que las alternativas terapéuticas se han multiplicado y diversificado, y hoy es posible elegir para cada paciente la mejor alternativa, a la medida de su necesidad; se han perfeccionado los métodos de seguimiento y monitoreo; se ha alargado la vida de las personas con diabetes y se ha favorecido su calidad de vida, y se ha mejorado la atención de las complicaciones y secuelas. En fin, ser diabético hoy tiene menos inconvenientes que los que tenía, pero hay dos áreas en las que estamos muy lejos del progreso: la prevención y la adherencia o el apego al tratamiento. La diabetes mellitus ha tenido un crecimiento acelerado en México, por lo que los profesionales de la salud deben poner más atención en su manejo íntegro, pues está demostrado que el abordaje integral aporta múltiples beneficios en el control de la diabetes. El fin de la atención integral de las personas con diabetes es mejorar su calidad de vida, mejorar la aparición de complicaciones y garantizarles el...

La mujer japonesa. Un esbozo a través de la historia

Autor: Federico Lanzaco Salafranca

Número de Páginas: 152

Aunque puede parecer que a algunos occidentales no les resulte atractivo el perfil del hombre japonés, protagonizado tanto por la agresividad del samurai clásico como por el hombre de negocios contemporáneo casado con la empresa; en cambio, sí parece también ser un hecho real el profundo atractivo que sienten los varones occidentales hacia la mujer japonesa. El fenómeno del “japonismo” a finales del siglo XIX descubrió a Occidente la fascinante belleza de las geishas, protagonistas de los grabados ukiyoe de los maestros de la época Edo.Y así nos ha llegado hasta hoy la sugestiva belleza de la mujer japonesa envuelta en una neblina iridiscente, semiescondida en sus exquisitos kimonos, adornada de pomposos peinados y frágiles abanicos... Las preguntas que se hace el autor hoy son: ¿la mujer japonesa es realidad o mito?, ¿cuál es su perfil auténtico?, ¿dónde reside el tópico, la fantasía o la autenticidad de la mujer japonesa? En un estilo claro, interesante y vivo, enriquecido con experiencias personales insólitas de la sociedad japonesa actual, vamos descubriendo un esbozo del misterio del eterno femenino japonés, a través de la fascinante historia del...

Número de Páginas: 764

Samuel L. Leiter's Kabuki at the Crossroads: Years of Crisis, 1952-1965 is the first detailed account of Japan's kabuki theatre in the years immediately following the end of the Occupation. It examines every aspect of this traditional theatre as it struggled to maintain its position in a rapidly changing postwar entertainment environment. It covers acting rivalries, major productions, theatres, international tours, the convention of men playing female roles, name-taking and memorial ceremonies, the company system and managerial strategies. In addition, the volume includes numerous appendixes chronicling the period, including a thorough chronology and 150 summaries of new plays never previously discussed in English.
