Japanese Propriety, Past and Present by Florian Coulmas Pdf

"This book thus offers a fresh view on Japanese society focussing on the role of comportment for group cohesiveness. It explores the stereotype that Japan is the world's most polite country, examining how proper conduct is acquired and expressed, and how the apparent conflict with some of the concepts considered essential for Western modernity, such as society, freedom and the individual, are balanced with Japan's great emphasis on courtesy, politeness and civility. By comparing the present situation in Japan with behavioural standards of former periods as well as with other cultural traditions the book explains some of the distinctive features of present-day Japanese society. Overall the book argues that Japan is a prime example of multiple modernities concerning individuals, collectives and relationships between state and society"--

The Japanese Restaurant by Iori Hamada Pdf

This book explores the growth and operations of the Japanese restaurant in Australia since the early 2000s from perspectives of both restaurant workers and consumers. Through first-hand testimonies, collected from chefs, restaurateurs, gourmets and casual diners, it demonstrates how Japanese restaurants act as cultural hubs, connecting a diverse community of migrants, Australian citizens and international tourists, while also disseminating knowledge of Japanese culinary cultures. The ethnographic evidence presented challenges the colonialist and essentialist understandings of the ‘exotic’ and ‘Japaneseness’ as the ‘inferior other’ to the West. In so doing, the book highlights the complex manifestations of cross-cultural desires, translating practices and the performative racial-ethnic mimesis of Japanese ethnicity. Featuring critical investigation into the fixed notions of otherness, race, ethnicity and authenticity, this book will be a valuable resource to students and scholars of Japanese society and culture, particularly Japanese food culture.

State Formation, Property Relations, & the Development of the Tokugawa Economy (1600-1868) by Grace Kwon Pdf

Before the late 1960s, Japan historians characterized the Early Modern Japanese economy in waht are typical feudal terms. Considered backward and stagnant, it was argued that the economy eventually collapsed under the weight of its own internal limitations. This narrative has given way in the past two decades to a new interpretation in which Japan's pre-industrial economy is protrayed as one of substantive growth and qualitative change, the setting stage for modern development during the Meiji era.

The Civil Code of Japan (Classic Reprint) by Ludwig Lonholm Pdf

Excerpt from The Civil Code of Japan The first draft of a Civil Code for Japan was drawn up by Mr. Boissonade de Fontarabie, a French jurist, and followed in the main the lines of the French law But shortly before it was to go into effect a committee of revision was appointed, who instead of simply revising that draft made a wholly new Code modeled very closely upon the new German Civil Code and entirely different from Mr. Boissonade's Code, which therefore never went into operation. The authors of the present thoroughly modern and scientific Code are Messrs. Nobushige Hozumi, Masakasa Tomii and Kenjiro Ume, professors of law in the Imperial University of Tokyo. The technical terms of the Civil Code are very often literal translations into Sinico-Japanese of the corresponding German words. This fact and the great difference in form, arrangement and terminology between the Japanese-German and the English law makes it often difficult to translate the Japanese words by proper technical equivalents in English. For the most part the same Japanese word has been translated whenever it occurs by the same English word, even at the cost of an occasional awkwardness of expression; but in a few cases it was impossible to follow this rule without impairing the clearness of the sentence.

Revolution and Its Past by R. Keith Schoppa Pdf

Revolution and Its Past is a comprehensive study of China from the last quarter of the eighteenth century through to 2018. A fascinating and dramatic narrative, the book compels interest both as a history of an ancient civilization developing into a modern nation-state and as an account of how the Chinese as a people have struggled and continue to work to find their identity in the modern world. Beginning in the last two decades of the reign of the Qianlong emperor (1736–1795), the book provides a baseline that allows readers to understand China’s rapid decline in the nineteenth and part of the twentieth century, and extends into the present day, a time when China has the second largest economy in the world and aims to become a leading global power by 2050. The vast changes that have swept over China between these times are probed through the lens of the broad and important theme of "identities." This fourth edition has been updated throughout, providing a more thorough examination of recent history since 1960, and increasing coverage of such topics as "new Qing history," frontier and ethnicity, women and their roles, environmental concerns and issues, and globalization. Supported by maps, images, tables, online eResources and suggestions for further reading, and written in an engaging, concise, and authoritative style, Revolution and Its Past is the ideal textbook for all students of the history of modern China.
