Upon arrival in Japan, one inevitably undergoes culture shock. The Japanese way of life is so unique that it appears incomprehensible. Foreigners, or "gaijins" as they are commonly referred to, are initially disoriented and mystified. I have written this travel guide to help teenagers discover Japan and decipher its inhabitants' customs and habits. The guide may be equally valuable for adults. It covers everything from "DOs and DON'Ts" to "What to Visit and Where to Eat". It is essentially a compilation of my experience living in Japan. I provide my readers with valuable advice, exceptional addresses and useful suggestions. Although the first few days in Japan are unsettling, one rapidly learns to appreciate the country and its superb culture.
The Democratic Promise engages Slavoj Žižek’s psychoanalytic and cultural reading of politics and terror, Jacques Rancière’s concept of the partition of the sensible, Alain Badiou’s ethics and politics, and Jacques Derrida’s thoughts on philosophy in a time of terror in order to radically rethink politics in and through aesthetics as analogies of political subjectivity. This book interrogates the a priori rights of an individual as universally declared and what these mean in terms of human agency. By revisiting the philosophical writings of the Western continental tradition through the eyes of contemporary political thinkers, it not only delves into the current debate on democracy but also investigates the connection between exceptionality and democracy. Constance Goh asserts here that inter-national or intra-national conflicts persist despite the global emphasis on cultural diversity and consideration because of the politics of recognition. The Democratic Promise also examines the media politics of China and Tibet’s fraught relations so as to argue that Derrida’s democracy-to-come necessitates an-other principle, an extra-normative tolerance he calls «hostipitality,» a host (un)intentionally transporting a singular other via the vehicle of aesthetics.
I Remember is a mesmerizing first hand account of the changes in early 20th Century New England life as remembered by Evelyn L. Ross, spanning over nine decades from her birth in 1906. The book is a colorful biography of life, family and the people of mid coast Maine as experienced by Evelyn and handed down to her daughter Constance over many conversations.
