Perfect World

Abstract: This paper aims to provide an overview of the concept of masculinity in Japanese society today which is represented by the main character in “Perfect World” film. The concept of masculinity here is limited to the masculinity of the male main character with a disability, considering that people with disabilities are often seen and treated as second-class citizens by the surrounding community. The method used is the semiotic method of Barthes, because it not only provides an interpretation of a sign into language, but also sees signs from the ideological side of a culture. Furthermore, Chafetz's concept of masculinity is also used as a reference for assessing the masculinity of the main character. As a result, it was found that a man with disability can still be said to be masculine, whether in traditional or modern concepts. In addition, it can be said that the impermanence of the concept of masculinity is greatly influenced by time and the supporting society in which the concept was born. Men with disabilities can still be said to be masculine, as long as most of his masculinity assessment points are still fulfilled. On the other hand, a man without physical limitations can be said to be non-masculine if he cannot meet his masculinity assessment points.Keywords: gender, semiotics, masculinity, difabel, Barthes

Louise Brix Jacobsen, Rikke Andersen Kraglund & Henrik Skov Nielsen: “Selfsacrifice. On Right and Reasonableness among Foes and Friends, and on Judging the Living and the Dead in Max Kestner’s film I am Fiction”In 2011, the performance artist Thomas Skade-Rasmussen Strøbech lost a lawsuit against his former friend and collaborator Helge Bille Nielsen and the publishing house of Gyldendal. This led to a debate about copyright, freedom of expression, identity, and the line between fiction and reality. In 2008, Nielsen or Das Beckwerk published the novel The Sovereign where Strøbech – seemingly without his knowledge and apparently against his will – is the main character. About a year after losing the lawsuit Strøbech and film director Max Kestner gives his version of the events before, during, and after the trial in the film I am Fiction (Identitetstyveriet). This article analyzes I am fiction in order to show how the film on the one hand outlines Strøbech’s version of the events as a story about a victim but on the other hand undermines this version with humor and irony and points towards an artistic collaboration between alleged victim and villain.

Despite the existence of an enormous literature dealing with the Meiji Restoration and its origins, it is still surprisingly difficult to acquire precise information about some aspects of Japanese society in the middle of the nineteenth century. One such difficulty is that of obtaining general quantitative data about the great feudal domains (han) which constituted the major political and economic units of the country. This is not to say that details concerning the domains are impossible to find. Many records are readily available, even in print, and some have been used by scholars to support or illustrate general statements. It is commonly accepted, for example, that agrarian productivity increased greatly in Japan between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries and that land dues were extremely high, especially at the end of the period. It is possible to cite domains as examples for each of these generalisations. On the other hand, it is never very clear whether the examples themselves are typical or merely random, how far they approximate to or differ from the norm. Nor has there been much attempt to discover whether the wide differences which existed between one domain and another in these matters followed any identifiable pattern. It is with these problems that the present article will deal.

The accessible design of e-government ensures that these offers can also be used by people with disabilities (accessibility). Moreover, experience shows that clarity and comprehensibility of the offers benefit from their careful and deliberate design and structuring while keeping in mind accessibility requirements. Therefore, accessibility is useful for all citizens who want to attend to their administrative issues via the Internet (universal design). Accessibility as a cross-sectional subject has to be considered holistically: On the one hand, following the “universal design” principle, it becomes clear that all users benefit from an accessible solution, independent of their abilities and independent of their situation, environment or conditions. On the other hand, especially in e-government, the complete business process has to be considered: An offer accessible in itself may not be usable if an installation routine or plug-in has to be loaded from a non-accessible page or if the work procedure involves a media break.

The Way

The Shinto religion profoundly influences many Japanese people. It is their emotional mainstay, although it has neither common commandments nor scriptures. According to Shinto, human beings are part of nature and can live only because nature is the parent. Mankind should live in the ‘way of the gods’. The worship of ancestors is an important value in Shinto. The Shinto attitude towards suicide is somewhat ambivalent. Shinto believes that humans return to nature after death, suicide does not constitute an exception, and suicide as a sacrificial act is condoned. On the other hand, believing that life is given by nature and ancestors implies that suicide is wrong. The increasing number of suicides during recent years, mainly for socioeconomic reasons, has deeply affected the Japanese society and its attitudes towards suicide. This has resulted in many suicide prevention activities in which religion can play an important role.

In this sense, it is intended to supplement teaching through electronic books, guides, Self, exercises, forums, chat, videoconference and others; to strengthen the knowledge received in the classroom, motivated that there is a disadvantage in high schools, colleges and universities due to lack of sign language interpreters Venezuelan support to teachers. The research design was documentary, bibliographic and field descriptive. Within this framework it is raised the need to rethink the teaching practice, proposing new challenges that will generate, among other things strategic alternative pedagogical gies for building an educational culture in which all feel part well break the barriers of language and communication allowing for greater inclusion of people with hearing loss, or deaf to the university and on the other hand the educational transformation is to strengthen and facilitate understanding of the issues of greatest difficulty through the use of E-learningRESUMENEste trabajo de investigación tiene como propósito incorporar el E-learning como herramienta complementaria para la enseñanza y aprendizaje de las personas con discapacidad auditiva, partiendo de que las universidades deben cumplir con lo establecido en las Medidas de Acción Afirmativa a Favor del Ingreso de las Personas con Discapacidad a la Educación Universitaria en Venezuela, por otra parte, lo indicado en la Constitución de la República Bolivariana de Venezuela y otras leyes competentes en discapacidad, donde reconocen que esta población han sido discriminadas de la Educación Universitaria por lo que se debe permitir la equiparación de oportunidades en el ingreso de personas con discapacidad a  nivel Universitario.En este sentido, se pretende complementar la enseñanza a través de Libros electrónicos, Guías, Autoevaluación, Ejercicios, Foros, Chat, Videoconferencias entre otros; a fin de que refuercen el conocimiento recibido en las aulas de clases, motivado a que existe una gran desventaja en los institutos, colegios y universidades por no contar con intérpretes de lengua de señas venezolanas que apoyen a los docentes.El diseño de la investigación fue documental, bibliográfico y de campo, de tipo descriptivo.

The Mind

Many English literary works were written during the colonialism era present white people as superior people. But Joseph Conrad in his trilogy, Almayer’s Folly, An Outcast of the Island, and The Rescue, present white people as defeated people. All the main characters in the novels that are white adventures are lost. Almayer, the main character in Almayer’s Folly, got bankrupt and eventually died sorrowfully; Willems, the main character in An Outcast of the Island, died at the hand of his beloved; and Lingard, the main character in The Rescue and the character in the other two novels as well, went home empty-handed. Why is the case like that? This research is a study of the trilogy in order to answer the question. Accordingly, the objective is to explain the cause of the white adventurers’ lost. This research is conducted using Ricoeur’s hermeneutics which consists of instantiation and appropriation as the methodology. The result is that, first, Almayer misunderstood the political situation and misunderstood the mind of her own daughter, Willems was in conflict with Almayer, and Lingard was unlucky; on the other hand, the leaders of the Malay people were crafty, able to make them fight to each other, and able to make a smart move. Second, the novels present objective point of views; from Malay point of views, white adventures in the Malay Archipelago caused miserable life to them but they were too strong to fight against them, while from the point of view of the white adventurers, the Malay couldn’t be trusted, cunning, and savage.

Herve Guibert

Faisant de lui-même le personnage principal de son œuvre, Hervé Guibert nous parle nécessairement de son travail d'écrivain. À travers ses récits, il dessine l'image d'un écrivain polymorphe, qui prend une double attitude par rapport à son métier. Si, d'un côté, l'acte de l'écriture et les manuscrits sont montrés, de l'autre, il ne cesse d'accuser sa retenue et à manifester une sorte de pudeur. À la recherche d'une identité scripturaire, l'auteur tend à assimiler ses manuscrits à son corps, à sa fibre, dans un projet global de dévoilement de soi.AbstractBeing the main character of his own books, Hervé Guibert writes about his life as a writer. Through his texts he draws his portrait as a polymorphous artist, taking a double attitude towards his activity. On the one hand the act of writing, as well as drafts and manuscripts are shown, but on the other hand he constantly tries to protect and conceal them from sight. Looking for his own scriptural identity, the author tends to identify his manuscripts with his body, so that papers, drafts, manuscripts come to acquire a strong corporeal dimension in a wider project of representation of the self.

The example of co-existence between Christians, Jews and Muslims in medieval Spain should, in theory, be an inspiration to those who hope for a successful multi-faith society today. On the other hand, the expulsion in 1492 of Jews who refused baptism, and of Muslims who adopted a similar attitude, from Castile in 1502 and Aragon in 1610, implies that the Spanish example should rather be seen as a warning of the consequences of failure. The question of interfaith relations will be considered here mainly from the point of view of Christians who attempted to cope with the proximity of the other two ‘religions of the book’. It will, however, be possible to look at the feasibility of the long-term existence of Jewish and Muslim communities in Spain, and at the problems faced by converts from these two faiths to Christianity.

AbstractThis essay analyzes Scarron’s careful imitation of Cervantes’ Don Quixote, and how many of the traits are transformed into a less complex novel. In order to comprehend this shift, the essay will look at three key elements in the two novels. While Cervantes fashions himself as a saturnine author, Scarron fails to fully self-fashion. Secondly, this piece will focus on the solar image used at the beginning of the two novels; and third we will consider the construction of the main character in these works. While both novels shadow the solar author and protagonist, Cervantes makes them into melancholy figures that conceal wisdom. Scarron, on the other hand, exhibits a noisy author/narrator that cannot abide saturnine sufferings and utilizes clatter and chaos to rail against the heavens. He is unable to turn his idealized main character (Destiny) into someone that can both be part and rise above the noise of the world.
