Sommario/riassunto

Appearing for the first time in English, the writings in this collection reflect some of the most innovative and influential work by Japanese intellectuals in recent years. The volume offers a rare and much-needed window into the crucial ideas and positions currently shaping Japanese thought (shiso).In addressing the political, historical, and cultural issues that have dominated Japanese society, these essays cross a range of disciplines, including literary theory, philosophy, history, gender studies, and cultural studies. Contributors examine



Japan's imperialist and nationalist past as well as representations and remembrances of this history. They also critique recent efforts in Japanese right-wing circles to erase or obscure the more troubling aspects of Japan's colonial enterprise in East Asia. Other essays explore how Japan has viewed itself in regard to the West and the complex influence of Western thought on Japanese intellectual and political life. The volume's groundbreaking essays on issues of gender and the contested place of feminist thought in Japan discuss the similarities between the emotional bullying of women who do not accept traditional gender roles and teasing in schools; how the Japanese have adopted elements of Western orientalism to discredit feminism; and historical constructions of Japanese motherhood.

Sommario/riassunto

Ford Madox Ford occupa une place majeure mais paradoxale au sein du modernisme. Les résistances à inscrire Ford dans le canon moderniste peuvent s’expliquer par la difficulté à réconcilier les contradictions de son œuvre et à en dégager un système esthétique stable. L’ambivalence se retrouve au cœur de sa tétralogie Parade’s End. La dialectique est irréconciliable entre la chimère d’un passé venant habiter le présent et la rupture dont cette chimère est le symptôme. Ce travail explore la tension entre hommage et dérision qui caractérise Parade’s End. La nostalgie d’une idéologie stable, d’un récit satisfaisant les attentes du lecteur et d’un sujet unifié est simultanément sublimée et tournée en dérision. Le texte témoigne d’une réticence à dénouer les apories qu’il génère. Cette mise en crise ne débouche donc pas sur l’élaboration d’un système alternatif ; elle ne débouche pourtant pas sur du vide, mais sur un système dont nous devinons les contours. Le texte est en perpétuel mouvement vers une esthétique qu’il suggère en creux. La dimension fondamentale de négativité imprime au texte un paradoxal dynamisme.

Sommario/riassunto

This book presents the state of art of the several advanced approaches to beneficiation of coal. The influence of recent technology attains the advantages of processing coal, purification studies, rheological behavior, and the mineral beneficiation. The experts collected in this volume have contributed significantly to the enrichment in the in depth knowledge not only in context of working knowledge, but also future prospects of clean coal technology. Describes mineral beneficiation of coal through physical-chemical processes; Examines rheological behavior and pipeline transport of coal water slurry resulting in reduction of overall transportation cost of coal; Illustrates synergistic effect of natural and synthetic mixed surfactant system in the stabilization of high concentration coal water slurry.
