This paper is an effort to situate interlinguistics and Esperanto studies in the social context of modern Japan. The origin of interlinguistic ideas in Japan was distinct from developments in Europe, in that English functioned as the bridge language to learn Western civilization from the very beginning of Japan’s modernization, while it was the lack of a suitable regional lingua franca that motivated the Europeans to search for a planned language. After the examination of some Japanese pioneers in interlinguistics, the main focus will be upon diverse traditions of Esperanto studies in Japan. These include the endogenous (inward-looking) tradition, socially engaged interlinguistics, the post-war ambivalence of the Esperanto movement toward scientific theorizing, and the gradual rise of macro-sociolinguistic approaches from the 1990s.

This article explores how state institutions and party organs of the Kuomintang used various means of exercising power and projecting authority in order to shape the literary scene and literary production in Taiwan during the early post-war period (1945–1949). Censorship is examined from two complementary perspectives. First, integrating the Taiwanese case into a broader political and social context, the presentation focuses on the legal framework of the publishing law of Republican China and on regulations propagated in local official bulletins. Second, the article analyses censorship as a practice and set of procedures. This second part is based on the archival files of Taiwan Historica, which holds official documents from both early post-war governments. The archival material unveils some of the motivations behind censorship practices, and helps us to understand chosen strategies to legitimise sociocultural norms.

Mourning Process

The analytic group matrix, while mirroring the post-War, post-Communist and post-totalitarian context, offers an opportunity for the mourning process, but also for creating the new. In the struggle between the completely lost hope and the effort of finding any hope, it can be a place for finding the germs of hope through the empathic human exchange. For two decades the author has followed the impact of the social field on the dynamics of analytic groups in Belgrade (small, median and large, institutional and private settings) during the difficult socio-political period of totalitarianism, war and bombing, disintegration of Yugoslavia, revolution and the periods after. In this article she focuses on the specific aspects of the social mirroring in her groups during the actual post-totalitarian period.

Arabic medieval literature has recourse to many biographical directionaries, but the information they supply mostly conforms to a standardized pattern. They register every individual whose literary production or professional activity was valued and list ancestors, teachers and disciples, the offices served, the works written, and the date and place of death. In this article, using this rather programmatic information, I have been able to generate a picture of the social context of Averroes, which helps explain the dissipation of his influence of Averoes in the Arab word immediately following his death in 1198.
