The Nohkan’s Part in Atsumori as Planned, Prepared, and Performed

Author(s):  
Mariko Anno

This chapter presents transcriptions of Issō Yukihiro's “theoretical” nohkan entrance and compares it with a specific shōdan from a live performance of Atsumori with Yukihiro on the nohkan. It demonstrates an individual interpretation of a Noh play, taking into account the different schools of instruments, singing styles, and written texts of chant books used by the main actors and chorus. It also illustrates the structure of Noh plays among the traditional plays in terms of overall organization of the dan and the shōdan. The chapter examines the flexibility in the nohkan melodic patterns that allows variations and individual interpretation within the prescribed structure. It considers a particular performance by Yukihiro that apply William P. Malm's three functions of the nohkan.

Written texts, especially sacred texts, can be handled in different ways. They can be read for semantic content; or they can be materially experienced, touched, or even be inhaled or drunk. I argue that literacy ideologies regulate social acceptability of specific semantic and somatic text practices. Drinking or fumigating the Qurʾan as a medical procedure is a highly contested literacy event in which two different ideologies are drawn upon simultaneously. I employ the linguistic model of codeswitching to highlight central aspects of this event: a more somatic ideology of literacy enables the link to medicine, while a more semantic ideology connects the practice to theological discourses on the sacredness of the Qurʾan as well as to the tradition of Prophetic medicine. Opposition to and ridicule of the practice, however, comes from representatives of an ideology of semantic purity, including some Islamic theologians and most Western scholars of Islam. Qurʾanic potions thus constitute an ideal point of entry for analyzing different types of literacy ideologies being followed in religious traditions.

Does the central role of the Iliad and the Odyssey in ancient Greek culture indicate that they functioned as scripture? Taking the role of the Tanakh in Jewish culture as the standard of comparison, this essay argues that, while the Tanakh and the epics functioned similarly as foundational texts in their respective cultures, the ways in which Homer was used in Hellenic culture differ markedly from the ways in which the Tanakh was used in ancient Jewish culture. The Homeric epics were primarily thought of as orally delivered or performed events throughout most of their history, only coming to be thought of as primarily written texts in the Hellenistic era and later, whereas almost from its origins the Tanakh commands and exemplifies a textcentered community in which that which is written is most important.

One fresh contribution to the contemporary study of fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) is the theory of limits (nazariyyah al-hudud) promoted by a Syirian liberal Islamic figure, Muhammad Syahrur. Syahrur’s theory of limits solves the epistemological deadlock of previous works. Syahrur asserts that the theory of limits is an approach within ijtihad (individual interpretation) to study the muhkamat verses (clear and direct verses of law) of the Qur’an. The term “limit” (hudud) used by Syahrur refers to the meaning of “the bounds or restrictions of God which should not be violated, contained in the dynamic, flexible, and elastic domain of ijtihad. By using the theory of limit, Syahrur tries to re-constructs both concept poligamy and jilbab as contribution to the contemporary study of Islamic jurisprudence.

This article examines how translation to and from Inuktitut, the language of the Eastern Canadian Inuit, often compels the translator to create new words or explanatory phrases in the target language, in order to cope with the existing cultural and semantic gaps between most Indigenous languages and languages of wider communication. Moreover, the transcription of Inuktitut into the syllabic script also entails phonetic distortions. The article concludes that some types of translations in Inuktitut are practically useless, but that more Inuktitut oral and written texts should be translated into mainstream languages.
