Multiple Actors

This article demonstrates that the Russo-Japanese rivalry, far from being just another example of imperialist competition during the Age of Imperialism, can also serve as a useful case study of a diplomatic contest over a periphery between hegemonic powers. During this diplomatic tug-of-war, the Korean peninsula became the focal point of a contest between Japan and Russia. The present study illuminates the interactive processes of major diplomatic engagements between multiple actors through careful use of multi-lingual archives, as well as locates the significant implications of these exchanges for contemporary geopolitical landscapes in the Far East. Ultimately, this research provides an analytical framework for a more in-depth understanding of diplomatic interactions and the impacts of hegemonic struggles in modern Korean history.

AbstractThis article establishes the normative connection between Japan’s responses to regional hegemonic order prior to the nineteenth century and its subsequent engagement with the European standard of civilization. I argue that the Japanese understanding of the ‘standard of civilization’ in the nineteenth century was informed by the historical pattern of its responses to hegemony and the discourse on cultural superiority in the Far East that shifted from Sinocentrism to the unbroken Imperial lineage to the national-spirit. Although Japanese scholars accepted and engaged with the European standard of civilization after the forced opening up of Japan to the Western world in the mid-nineteenth century, they did so for instrumental purposes and soon translated ‘civilization’ into a language of imperialism to reassert supremacy in the region. Through intellectual historiography, this narrative contextualizes Japan’s engagement with the European standard of civilization, and offers an analytical framework not only to go beyond Eurocentrism but also to identify various other loci of hegemony, which are connected through the same language of power.

Business As Usual

This study relates that the 'business-as-usual' scenario has come to an end and questions the general practice of the present ethnocentric-led institutional tourism development in the Far East within an analytical framework. It asserts that global cities play a crucial role in the systematic search for innovation and its diffusion, amongst others, through the regionalization of the metropolitan economies in an hierarchy of central places. The study focuses on Hong Kong, which has the potential to perform the function of "incubator" for innovation and its transfer throughout the region. However, the results indicate that whilst tourism organizations in Hong Kong are engaged in some type of innovation, they do not apply systematic processes to advance innovation. Furthermore, the results also reveal that local service enterprises are less inclined to develop new service offerings in overseas markets than international enterprises.

This report has analysed the effect that a Centralised Securities Depository (CSD) for equities will have on the securities industry in the emerging countries of the Far East. The first part of this report dealt with the securities industry and its environment and identified the most important factors influencing the industry. In addition, the experiences of custodian banks in selected Far Eastern countries were ascertained in relation to the establishment of CSDs in these countries. From this base, using available data and assisted by various experts, the most likely trends have been used to predict the effect that a CSD for equities will have on the securities industry in South Africa.

The Difference

This paper investigates the influence of geographical distance on the practices and concepts of Jesuit administration in the early modern period. It discusses in particular select letters by Alessandro Valignano from East Asia, to demonstrate how loyal Jesuits in the Far East asked for administrative adjustments in order to overcome the enormous infrastructural difficulties involved in upholding constant epistolary communication with Rome. Valignano over and again stressed both the difference and the distance between Asia and Europe and thought that both factors necessitated an accommodation of the order’s organizational framework. This case study thus helps address the broader questions of how the members of the Society of Jesus conceived of global space. It becomes clear that, while they hoped for institutional unity and insisted frequently on procedural uniformity, they also openly acknowledged that due to distance and cultural differences there never could exist an entirely homogeneous, single global Jesuit space.

Fast Increase

In the last decade, the fast increase of the global energy consumption, mainly related to the strong economic growth in the Far East, and the progressive depletion of the fossil fuels induced a run-up in the world oil price. Both these economic concerns and the growing global pollution pointed out that a transition toward renewable energies is mandatory. Among renewables, the conversion of sunlight into electricity by photovoltaic (PV) devices is a reliable choice to cope the growing energy consumption, due to the huge potentially extractable power (up to 120000 TW). The most important classes of inorganic PV devices developed in the last sixty years will be reviewed in this paper, in order to depict the state of the art of the technologies which dominate the PV market. Some novel concepts which could have an important role in the future of PV will be also described.

Resumo: A tradução de obras em latim para idiomas vernáculos criou a possibilidade de expandir o número de leitores e patrocinou mudanças nas formas de assimilação dos textos. Este artigo pretende investigar como essas mudanças ocorreram tomando como base o estudo do Relatio (1330), um texto de viagem baseado no relato oral do franciscano Odorico de Pordenone em sua jornada ao Extremo Oriente. A partir das cópias em latim e suas traduções dos séculos XIV e XV, buscamos as conclusões, conexões e opiniões dos leitores do norte da Península Itálica, Reino da França e das Ilhas Britânicas. Para tanto, avaliaremos a materialidade das fontes em seu aporte físico, paratextos, interferências escriturais, sinais de manuseio e marcas de propriedade que apontem diferenças no processo de assimilação dos livros em diferentes comunidades de leitores.Palavras-chave: História da leitura medieval; narrativas de viagem; comunidades de leitores; paratextos; codicologia.Abstract: The translation of Latin works to vernacular languages created the possibility to expand the readership and change in the forms of assimilation of these writings.  This article intends to find out how these changes have occurred based on the case study of the Relatio (1330), a travel narrative of the Franciscan friar Odoric of Pordenone to the Far East. Drawing on Latin and translated copies written between the 14th and 15th centuries in the north of theItalianPeninsula,Kingdom ofFrance and theBritish Isles, we seek the conclusions, connections and opinions of these readers in their reading process. To do so, we will assess the materiality of the sources physical constitution, paratexts, copyist interference, handling marks and trademarks that point to differences in the assimilation of books in different communities of readers.Keywords: History of medieval reading; travel narratives; communities of readers; paratexts; codicology.
