A READING OF SHOWA AND MARCH FOR DEATH MANGAS

2021-04-12T15:57:25+00:00

Mangas have been part of the daily lives of people around the world for a few decades. However, it is from the last two decades that a greater amount of research around them has been carried out in the academic field. In this way, the present work takes shape through the historical-mnemonic analysis of the four volumes of the Showa manga and the March to death manga, all authored by Shigeru Mizuki, a World War II survivor who became a manga artist. The intention of this analysis is, primarily, to think about the memory of the traumatic events of World War II based on the manga of this subject who is directly linked to the event. Therefore, we will start analyzing manga both as an object of memory and history, as a cultural-market object, considering that they will only gain space in certain places from a series of contexts posed by other issues previously. Thus, Mizuki's narratives move in a way that reinforces the need for detachment from belligerence not only on the part of the Japanese, but on the part of the readers as a whole, who have the power to prevent acts of barbarism that occurred during the Second World War.

MINNA NO NIHONGO SHOKYÛ I (2° EDIÇÃO) E IRODORI (INTRODUTÓRIO A1)

2023-09-29T02:06:06+00:00

This study is a summary of the findings of a bachelor’s thesis and proposed a comparative analysis of two Japanese language textbooks taking into consideration the importance of using the textbook in the teaching-learning process. It was analyzed and compared the textbook and audio files of the first ten lessons of Minna no Nihongo Shokyû I (2nd Edition) and Irodori (Introductory A1), in which we analyzed the information and construction of the lessons in the textbooks, the teaching methods, linguistic skills and language of the two books, with a theoretical basis in the studies of Alkmin (2001), Coracini (1999), Feldmann (2019), Ferro and Bergmann (2013), Leffa (2016) and Oliveira (2015). It was found that, although the textbooks are of basic level, the objectives are the opposite and therefore, we found that the teaching methods are different, the activities are developed focusing on a certain linguistic skill in each book and the language does not expose the students enough to the linguistic variations. In addition, it was carried out a critical reflection on the importance of the use these textbooks in classroom.

Portugal-Japan. Multicentennial journey of cultural-artistic exchange

2023-05-08T12:32:41+00:00

ABSTRACT

The journey that this article proposes begins with the discovery of the exotic “other” of Modernity and ends with the arrival at the destination and the revelation of the impermanence of life in the Contemporary Era. In the interval of this chronological time, part of the cultural relations that Portugal and Japan developed over six centuries are outlined in a prolific and tentacular exchange whose matrix is based on a history of echoes and drifts. In the year in which the 480^th anniversary of the arrival of the Portuguese in Japan (1543-2023) is celebrated, it is the right time to, in retrospect, crystallize and put into perspective an essayistic look at a bilateral and multi-century relationship based on an exchange of artistic ancestry from visual culture.

This article investigates the culture of the Jomon people, one of the oldest human groups in Japan, focusing on the interrelations between ceramics, food practices, and the physical characteristics of this society. The objective is to analyze how technological innovations and environmental adaptations shaped the cultural identity of the Jomon over time. The methodology includes a literature review, utilizing archaeological, anthropological, and historical sources, with an emphasis on the research of Kenneth Henshall (2017), Tae Suzuki (1997) and Tatsuo Kobayashi (2004). The theoretical framework is grounded in cultural anthropology, addressing food practices and the relationship between culture and environment, highlighting the concept of cultural resilience. This study contributes to the understanding of the formation of Japanese identity, emphasizing the Jomon legacy in the history of the archipelago and promoting reflection on contemporary cultural diversity and its historical roots.
