Back to Basics: The Power Politics Behind Sino–Japanese Identity Politics

TOP PAPERS FROM YOUR NEWSFEED     Shinji Oyama Ritsumeikan University, International Relations Faculty, Faculty Member New Cultural Studies 6: On the institutionalization of The CCI Studies in the UK Abstract: This essay, which is the sixth in a seven-part series, introduces a recent rise of Cultural and Creative Industries (CCI) studies in the UK. It reviews some of the more prominent programs focused explicitly on the CCI looking closely at typical program and curriculum design and their theoretical scopes. The essay acknowledges criticism that has been raised within cultural studies against CCI, but nevertheless argues that the CCI is developing its own critical research agenda and deserves more attention from media and cultural studies scholars in Japan.

Es handelt sich vielmehr um einen bis heute andauernden, höchst dynamischen Prozess, der sich nicht ausschließlich an einem etwaigen "westlichen" Vorbild orientiert. Zweitens gehen wir davon aus, dass Japans Modernisierung bislang drei Phasen durchlief, welche zudem Hand in Hand gingen mit Prozessen von...     Ryan Hearn Cornell University, Linguistics, Graduate Student Rethinking the Core-Periphery Model: Evidence from Japanese and English The two main accounts of lexical exceptions to phonological generalizations are 1) indexing exceptions to phonological processes and 2) directly encoding them in the lexicon (Guy 2007). The first approach is taken by It^o and Mester (1999, henceforth I&M) in their Core-Periphery (CP) model of OT, which groups lexical items of similar age/origin into hierarchical strata characterized by dierent rankings of Faith. However, based on historical data from Japanese and English, I show that lexically encoding the results of earlier phonological processes no longer active in the language avoids...   Academia, 251 Kearny St., Suite 520, San Francisco, CA, 94108 Unsubscribe   Privacy Policy   Terms of Service   © 2017 Academia
