Sommario/riassunto

This is a most important new work on Emperor Hirohito by one of Japan’s leading historians, Ikuhiko Hata. Following the untimely death of Marius B. Jansen (Emeritus Professor, University of Princeton) in December 2000, who had been actively collaborating with the author and translator of the original Japanese edition ( Hirohito Tenno itsutsu no ketsudan , first published in 1987 and republished in 1994), it was inevitable that there would be a delay in publication of the English edition, which is finally now available. In his extended Foreword as editor, referring to the nature of Hirohito’s power, Jansen states: ‘We are left with puzzles that will probably never be resolved. Clearly, as



Professor Hata and others have shown, the Emperor Hirohito had immense power, but the condition of retaining it was judicious restraint in exercising it.’ In offering a view on the merits of Hata’s research, Jansen points to the hitherto unknown plots (in parallel but unrelated) by both the Army and Navy to preserve, and if necessary resuscitate, the imperial line in the event the victors decided to depose Hirohito. Jansen also points to the merits of Hata’s particular focus on the contribution Hirohito made to Japan in its post-war relations with the United States. Jansen added substantive notes to help place the author’s material in historical and historiographical perspective. The book, which is not a biography or a general history of the Showa era, focuses on five decisions taken by Emperor Hirohito, which the author considers the key turning points of his reign: these concern the 26 February 1936 insurrection of young army officers, the termination of the Pacific War, the post-war constitution, the issue of abdication and the San Francisco Peace Treaty.

Sommario/riassunto

Peut-on identifier la signification comme objet spécifique d’un seul domaine d’études ? Bien avant l’institution de la sémantique au XIXe siècle, la signification est analysée empiriquement par les lexicographes. S’agit-il d’une filiation ? La sémantique linguistique naît-elle de la lexicographie monolingue ? Une dialectique, sans cesse réactivée dans le temps et à travers les différentes écoles, s’instaure entre sémanticiens et lexicographes en raison du partage conflictuel de cet objet commun qu’est le sens, ainsi que de toute une série de questions annexes : le statut du mot, l’articulation entre état de langue et histoire, la tension entre norme et usage, le choix entre polysémie ou homonymie, la place du locuteur dans le changement linguistique, etc. Cette dialectique entre un savoir-faire empirique (lexicographie) et un savoir savant (sémantique) en matière de sens ne saurait s’expliquer par les conditions d’émergence et les incertitudes de méthode de la nouvelle discipline. Une méfiance tenace envers les dictionnaires est présente aussi bien chez les philologues du XIXe siècle que chez les linguistes, lexicologues et sémanticiens du XXe siècle travaillant dans des cadres théoriques aussi différents que le structuralisme, le générativisme et le cognitivisme. L’ouvrage explique ainsi les transferts de méthode réciproques entre sémantique et lexicographie et montre à quel point la tension interdisciplinaire est une dynamique constitutive des savoirs sur le sens.

Sommario/riassunto

Guerrilla insurgencies continue to rage across the globe, fueled by ethnic and religious conflict and the easy availability of weapons. Reflecting the massive global movement of population from the countryside to cities, guerrilla conflict in urban areas, similar to the current violence in Iraq, will become more frequent. In his wide-ranging and richly detailed comparative analysis, Anthony James Joes examines eight key examples of urban guerrilla conflict across half a century and four continents: Warsaw in 1944, Budapest in 1956, Algiers in 1957, Montevideo and Sao Paulo in the 1960's, Sai
