Abstract

"The arrival of the Meiji period (1868-1912) signaled a time of change for Japanese women. Long stifled by their country's patriarchal system, they began to seek out avenues of self-definition and self-expression." "One clear signal of change was a burst of literary activity by women. Some writers reached beyond the traditional styles considered suitable for women, and by the time of the liberal Taisho period (1912-1926), Japan's women writers were leading the way to a new era of literary expression." "This study examines both famous and little known writers of the Meiji and Taisho periods, within the context of their era and as influences on today's women writers."--Jacket.

Abstract

Most Japanese literary historians have suggested that the Meiji Period (1868-1912) was devoid of women writers but for the brilliant exception of Higuchi Ichiyo (1872-1896). Rebecca Copeland challenges this claim by examining in detail the lives and literary careers of three of Ichiyo's peers, each representative of the diversity and ingenuity of the period: Miyake Kaho (1868-1944), Wakamatsu Shizuko (1864-1896), and Shimizu Shikin (1868-1933).In a carefully researched introduction, Copeland establishes the context for the development of female literary expression. She follows this with chapters on each of the women under consideration. Miyake Kaho, often regarded as the first woman writer of modern Japan, offers readers a vision of the female vitality that is often overlooked when discussing the Meiji era. Wakamatsu Shizuko, the most prominent female translator of her time, had a direct impact on the development of a modern written language for Japanese prose fiction. Shimizu Shikin reminds readers of the struggle women endured in their efforts to balance their creative interests with their social roles. Interspersed throughout are excerpts from works under discussion, most never before translated, offering an invaluable window into this forgotten world of women's writing.

The languages represented, in entries dating from 1875 to the present day, are Bulgarian, Catalan, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Romanian, Russian, Spanish and Turkish; two versions have also been provided in Chinese (with additional versions in modern Japanese appearing in Appendix III). Most of the translations have previously been available only in rare or hard to obtain sources, and are now brought together for the first time in an affordable and readily accessible format.

Abstract

"In Life, Fish and Mangroves, Melissa Marschke explores the potential of resource governance, offering a case study of resource-dependent village life. Following six households and one village-based institution in coastal Cambodia over a twelve-year period, Marschke reveals the opportunities and constraints facing villagers and illustrates why local resource management practices remain delicate, even with a sustained effort. She highlights how government and business interests in community-based management and resource exploitation combine to produce a complex, highly uncertain dynamic. With this instructive study, she demonstrates that in spite of a significant effort, spanning many years and engaging many players, resource governance remains fragile and coastal livelihoods in Cambodia remain precarious."--Project Muse.
