A Sociology of Journalism in Japan
This book represents an in-depth analysis of journalism in Japan during the golden era of the daily press and the gradual introduction of digital technology starting from the mid-1980s to the late 2010s. By presenting firsthand testimony from journalists and field notes collected from fieldwork in the newsroom of one of the country's largest newspapers, this book provides a unique insight into Japan's highly active yet relatively under-institutionalized journalistic profession. It also explores the changes experienced by the organizational development of Japanese journalism in response to broader changes in Japanese society, such as the emergence of social networks, the evolution of reading practices, the demographic situation, and the new aspirations of the Japanese youth. Based on an extensive ethnographic fieldwork carried out by the author over several years, this book will be of huge interest to students and scholars of Japanese society, journalism, and media studies.
Jazz Journeys
Jazz is a music of journeys, migration, and global mobility – from the legacies of the transatlantic slave trade to global travels for escape, exchange, or putting down roots. Having migrated via changing modes of transportation and media communication, the sounds, musicians, and theories of jazz have led to today's diasporic jazz world of global and local encounters. This book features articles that deal with jazz in various geographic areas such as Japan or Israel, orchestras travelling to Egypt or invited to the USA, and so-called expatriate jazz musicians taking up residence in Europe. By sharing their research about jazz on TV, on records, and at festivals, the authors from different disciplines demonstrate how jazz studies today engage with movement in the music's past to question and shape its future. This collection of writings has its origins in the VI Rhythm Changes Conference "Jazz Journeys," which took place in Graz (Austria) and where the International Society for Jazz Research celebrated its 50th anniversary.
The Global Handbook of Media Accountability
The Global Handbook of Media Accountability brings together leading scholars to de-Westernize the academic debate on media accountability and discuss different models of media self-regulation and newsroom transparency around the globe. With examination of the status quo of media accountability in 43 countries worldwide, it offers a theoretically informed comparative analysis of accountability regimes of different varieties. As such, it constitutes the first interdisciplinary academic framework comparing structures of media accountability across all continents and creates an invaluable basis for further research and policymaking. It will therefore appeal to scholars and students of media studies and journalism, mass communication, sociology, and political science, as well as policymakers and practitioners.
Making Jazz in Contemporary Japan
Making Jazz in Contemporary Japan: A Passionate Search for Self-Expression explores the ways in which Japanese jazz musicians express themselves through their art—not to “japanize” jazz, but to assert one’s creativity, passion, and capacity for self-expression—establishing it as an art form with its own sense of musicality and cultural, social, and economic concerns. This ethnographic survey contextualizes a shift in the Japanese jazz world over the last 30 years: What once was a culture dependent on the American influence is now a thriving local scene creating a wide variety of original, transnational compositions. Based on digital and physical observations and extensive interview...
L'enfer du regard - une sociologie du vivre jusqu'à consumation
Le sociologue Mita Munesuke (1937-2022) occupe une place centrale dans le paysage intellectuel japonais. Familier des auteurs français, esprit original et rigoureux, il a exercé une influence déterminante sur les sciences sociales de l'archipel par ses écrits et son enseignement. Son œuvre, en partie traduite en anglais, reste méconnue en France. Ce livre est la traduction d'un classique de la sociologie japonaise réunissant deux de ses textes : " L'enfer du regard " et " Les chants de la nouvelle nostalgie ". " L'enfer du regard " revient sur une affaire de meurtres en série commis par Nagayama Norio, en 1968, une affaire qui a fait frémir d'effroi le Japon tout entier. Les victime...
The Dissonant Legacy of Modernismo
The Dissonant Legacy of Modernismo: Lugones, Herrera y Reissig, and the Voices of Modern Spanish American Poetry examines the intricate evolution of modernista poetry in Spanish America, focusing on the works of key figures such as Leopoldo Lugones, Julio Herrera y Reissig, and their successors. The book explores the contradictions and shifts within modernismo, a literary movement defined by its ornamental style and the tension between tradition and innovation. Lugones, known for his diverse body of work, epitomizes the fragmented nature of the movement, offering a precursor to the dissonant trend that would influence later poets. His early works, starting from 1893, signal a break from inhe...
Immune system disorders: from molecular mechanisms to clinical implications
In recent years, the increase in knowledge about the functioning of the immune system has revealed not only its importance in the defense against external agents such as pathogens or toxins, but also in the control of tumor cells and the importance of the processes of inflammation or immunological tolerance. On the one hand, all this knowledge has allowed a better understanding of the putative pathogenic consequences of immune system dysfunction, which includes inflammatory, autoimmune and immunosuppressive diseases, among others. On the other hand, current knowledge about immunoregulation has paved the way to better prevent or control transplantation rejection. However, such mechanisms unde...
Le Japon dans le monde
Le Japon entretient avec la notion de puissance une relation complexe. Archipel, il inscrit dans sa Constitution de 1946 l'interdiction du maintien d'un potentiel de guerre, ce qui l'arrime durablement au camp occidental dont il a besoin pour assurer sa sécurité. Pourtant, la diplomatie japonaise a toujours réussi à jouir d'une relative autonomie, en partie grâce au miracle économique qu'a connu ce pays. Dès la fin du XIXe siècle en effet, le Japon fait le pari de la modernité jusqu'à devenir la deuxième puissance économique mondiale. Mais en ce début de XXIe siècle, alors qu'il dispose d'un capital sympathie unique au monde, par le biais de sa culture, les défis sont nombreux...

The Chaco Mission Frontier
Spanish missions in the New World usually pacified sedentary peoples accustomed to the agricultural mode of mission life, prompting many scholars to generalize about mission history. James Saeger now reconsiders the effectiveness of the missions by examining how Guaycuruan peoples of South America's Gran Chaco adapted to them during the eighteenth century. Because the Guaycuruans were hunter-gatherers less suited to an agricultural lifestyle, their attitudes and behaviors can provide new insight about the impact of missions on native peoples. Responding to recent syntheses of the mission system, Saeger proposes that missions in the Gran Chaco did not fit the usual pattern. Through research i...
