Confucian Academies in East Asia
The fifteen studies presented inConfucian Academies in East Asia offer insight into the history and legacy of these unique institutions of knowledge and education. The contributions analyze origins, spread and development of Confucian academies across China, Korea, Vietnam, and Japan from multiple perspectives. This edited volume is one of the first attempts to understand Confucian academies as a complex transnational, intellectual, and cultural phenomena that played an essential role in various areas of East Asian education, philosophy, religious practice, local economy, print industry, and even archery. The broad chronological range of essays allows it to demonstrate the role of Confucian ...
History and the State in Nineteenth-century Japan
History and the State in Nineteenth-Century Japan shows how the Meiji government's efforts to legitimate the emperor-centred nation state, indigenous traditions of scholarship and impulses from the West combined to shape the modern discipline of history in Japan.
Music and the Making of Modern Japan
Japan was the first non-Western nation to compete with the Western powers at their own game. The country’s rise to a major player on the stage of Western music has been equally spectacular. The connection between these two developments, however, has never been explored. How did making music make Japan modern? How did Japan make music that originated in Europe its own? And what happened to Japan’s traditional music in the process? Music and the Making of Modern Japan answers these questions. Discussing musical modernization in the context of globalization and nation-building, Margaret Mehl argues that, far from being a side-show, music was part of the action on centre stage. Making music ...
Intersectionality, Transnationalism, and the History of Education
This volume brings together a diverse range of contributors to explore the significance of intersectionality and transnationalism, with reference to the history of education. The chapters cover a range of educational spaces and places and demonstrate the possibilities that theoretical approaches can offer to scholars at all levels of their academic career. The chapters focus specifically on women’s activism in order to maintain a coherent framework of research that is brought together in an introduction and concluding thoughts. The significance of gender as relational and a symbol of power ensures that men and masculinities are not overlooked but recognized as integral to understanding gender dynamics as they affected women’s education and the ways in which that education took place.
Five Flags
From the American Civil War to the Meiji Restoration, one ironclad warship shaped the fate of three nations across four decades of global conflict. Five Flags tells the story of a Confederate ironclad built in secret, discovered by Union spies, sold to Denmark, returned to France, and ultimately delivered to Japan. Intended to break the Union blockade, the ship never fought for the Confederacy but instead moved through European powers before reaching Japan, where it played a role in the Meiji Restoration. Armed with a 300-pounder cannon, five inches of armor, and a twenty-foot ram, the vessel traveled from French shipyards to Spanish harbors, through Atlantic storms, and across the Pacific t...
Tango in Japan
Why do Japanese people love tango? Starting with this question, which the author frequently received while working as a tango violinist in Argentina, Tango in Japan reveals histories and ethnographies of tango in Japan dating back to its first introduction in the 1910s to the present day. While initially brought to Yokohama by North American tango dancers in 1914, tango’s immediate popularity in Japan quickly compelled many Japanese performers and writers to travel to Argentina in search of tango’s “origin” beginning in the 1920s. Many Japanese musicians, dancers, aficionados, and the wider public have, since then, approached tango as a new vehicle of expression, entertainment, and a...
