Описание: Exporting Japanese Aesthetics brings together historical and contemporary case studies addressing the evolution of international impacts and influences of Japanese culture and aesthetics. The volume draws on a wide range of examples from a multidisciplinary team of scholars exploring transnational, regional and global contexts. Studies include the impact of traditional Japanese theatre and art through to the global popularity of contemporary anime and manga. Under the banner of soft power or Cool Japan, cultural commodities that originate in Japan have manifested new meanings outside Japan. By (re)mapping meanings of selected Japanese cultural forms, this volume offers an in-depth examination of how various aspects of Japanese aesthetics have evolved as exportable commodities, the motivations behind this diffusion, and the extent to which the process of diffusion has been the result of strategic planning. Each chapter presents a case study that explores perspectives that situate Japanese aesthetics within a wide-ranging field of inquiry including performance, tourism, and visual arts, as well as providing historical contexts. The importance of interrogating the export of Japanese aesthetics is validated at the highest levels of government, which formed the Office of Cool Japan in 2010, and which perhaps originated in the 19th century at governmentally endorsed cultural courts at world fairs. Increased international consumption of contemporary Japanese culture provides a much needed boost to Japans weakening economy. The case studies are timely and topical. As host of the 2020/2021 Tokyo Olympic Games and the 2025 Osaka Expo, Cool Japan will be under special scrutiny.

Описание: The real story behind the Tavistock Institute and its network, from a popular conspiracy expert The Tavistock Institute, in Sussex, England, describes itself as a nonprofit charity that applies social science to contemporary issues and problems. But this book posits that it is the worlds center for mass brainwashing and social engineering activities. It grew from a somewhat crude beginning at Wellington House into a sophisticated organization that was to shape the destiny of the entire planet, and in the process, change the paradigm of modern society. In this eye-opening work, both the Tavistock network and the methods of brainwashing and psychological warfare are uncovered. With connections to U.S. research institutes, think tanks, and the drug industry, the Tavistock has a large reach, and Tavistock Institute attempts to show that the conspiracy is real, who is behind it, what its final long term objectives are, and how we the people can stop them.

She loves the dragons and when a rare black dragon with blue wings is born it is destined to be killed in a ritual. The births of blue dragons is thought to bring bad luck to whatever town harbors it. Wren steals the baby dragon and runs away with it, aided by her friend Kirby and her pet gargoyle Tick. Using a riddle taught to her from birth by her banished father, Wren uses the clues to find a hidden meadow where she finds journals and scrolls left from her father who stayed there after his banishment. In the meadow, Wren must fight and kill an "Afflicted" and in reading the journals realizes it was her father she had killed. Kirby, meanwhile, has been banished from the village for helping Wren. He finds the meadow and the 2 of them hide out for the summer while Wren learns to ride her now huge dragon "Cyan". The four of them meet an Elvish emmisary who warns them of an uprising of Afflicted which is decimating the kingdom and a large horde is headed for Wrens village. Wren, Kirby, Tick and Cyan travel to the Elven city of Sylvan Dell where Wren learns that she is the main heroine in the Prophesy. Reluctantly, Wren agrees to muster aid from residents of the secret city of Grimthorn, long thought to be populated with those who have been banished for all manner of crimes. Wren finds the city a bustling positive place and convinces them to join the coming battle. The city of the Elves join the humans in fighting the monsters and will use magic to help win the day. Wren and Kirby leave on a quest to find a Fairy tear to complete the spell the Elves will use. Along the way, they are helped by a talking, very sarcastic wolf named Rab who saves Wrens life from the horrible Fairies. With the magic the Elves bring, and the assistance of the Grimthorn folk, the battle is hard won. Wren learns skills and courage she never thought she could possess, both with magic and with her own inner strength, and becomes a hero to her people.

Описание: Offers a new perspective for critical inquiries about the practices of consumption in (and of) Caribbean popular culture. The book revisits accepted representations of the Caribbean from `less respectable` segments of popular culture such as dancehall culture and `sistah lit` that proudly jettison any aspirations toward middle-class respectability.
