Current interpretations of section 81of the Ise monogatari read it as a representation of the concept of miyabi (courtliness), defined as an ideal sphere of elegance divorced from worldly matters and political intrigues. Taking issue with nonpolitical views of the Ise Stories entailed in such readings, this paper shows how, through its narrative contextualization and the historical background evoked by its setting, the poem recited in this episode takes on political overtones. While on surface the story depicts an ideal sphere of disengagement from the political arena, the very form of unworldly refinement it centers on, the composition of waka, also functions as a vehicle of covert criticism of the Fujiwaras’ regime and a plea for virtuous government.

This article focuses on the concerns of the authorities as shown in the provisions on witchcraft and magic contained in the Romano-Germanic laws enacted from the sixth century (leges). These provisions shed light on what was prohibited and what was designated as magic; however, the attitude of the authorities towards magic and witchcraft was not univocal, mainly because of the religious and ethnic bipolarism underlying early European legislation on magic. Early medieval laws allow observing the formal expression of areas through which public concerns over the practice of magic operated. In most leges the use of magic was not punished as a religious offence, but rather for its destabilizing aspect regarding the social order. Moreover, the Church’s attitude towards magic was not monolithic: the official Church coexisted with local magical customs. The early medieval leges confirm that magic is a category dependent on the perceiver, encompassing practices and beliefs that border on other features of human experience, such as religion and law itself.

Japanese Adult Computer Games engage players in immersive narrative experiences centred on intimate interactions with anime-manga characters. Within these games, players are encouraged to develop parasocial phenomena as an integral aspect of the gameplay loop. The language employed during character interactions plays a pivotal role in shaping these parasocial phenomena, establishing specific roles, expectations, and the potential for their confirmation or subversion. This paper examines the systems of stylized character idiolects typical of anime-manga media – referred to as yakuwarigo by Kinsui 2017, 2003 – and explores how these linguistic elements embed gendered roles in the women-oriented video game Kioku no Dizorubu.
日本成人电脑游戏以与动漫人物的亲密互动为中心,让玩家获得身临其境的叙事体验。在这些游戏中,玩家被鼓励发展寄生社会现象,将其作为游戏循环的一个组成部分。角色互动过程中使用的语言在塑造这些寄生现象、确立特定角色、期望以及确认或颠覆这些角色的可能性方面起着关键作用。本文研究了动漫媒体中典型的风格化角色特异功能系统(Kinsui 2017,2003 年称之为 yakuwarigo),并探讨了这些语言元素如何在女性向电子游戏《Kioku no Dizorubu》中嵌入性别角色。

The instability of the medical definition of human sex and gender in early modern times was such that “male” and “female” became a matter of performance rather than pure biology. This paper aims to show that the Jacobean play Love’s Cure (1615) exposes how not only gender, but also society and its codified behaviours (e.g., honour) are artificial, conventional constructions. The analysis of the text will rely on metatheatrical references and dynamics in the play, but also on early modern medical theories and cultural phenomena such as clothing and the carnivalesque-like exceptionality of theatre.

After collaborating on The Works of William Blake. Poetic, Symbolic, and Critical (1893), William Butler Yeats and Edwin John Ellis individually published additional volumes on William Blake. These editions trace the contours of each editor’s unique approach to William Blake’s works, revealing a fascinating tension between mysticism and scholarship. The apparent clash of their perspectives not only influenced the selection and interpretation of Blake’s poetry, but also interestingly shaped their biographies of Blake. The current essay looks at Yeats and Ellis’ distinct authorial intent, taking their biographies of Blake as case studies to outline the growing controversy between the two editors. This divergence highlights the multifaceted nature of Blake’s legacy and the ongoing debate on the most appropriate lens through which to view his life and work.
在合作出版《威廉-布莱克作品集》(The Works of William Blake.诗意的、象征的和批判的》(1893 年)之后,威廉-巴特勒-叶芝和埃德温-约翰-埃利斯又分别出版了关于威廉-布莱克的其他作品集。这些版本追溯了每位编辑对威廉-布莱克作品的独特研究方法,揭示了神秘主义与学术研究之间引人入胜的紧张关系。他们观点的明显冲突不仅影响了布莱克诗歌的选择和诠释,还有趣地塑造了他们的布莱克传记。这篇文章探讨了叶芝和埃利斯不同的创作意图,以他们的布莱克传记为案例,概述了两位编辑之间日益激烈的争论。这种分歧凸显了布莱克遗产的多面性,以及关于从哪个角度看待布莱克的生活和作品最合适的争论。

Monstrosity is a constant presence in Old English literature. In particular, Wonders of the East depicts everything that was perceived as strange, significantly located in the East, displaying a Mediterranean-centric perspective where Europe works as the ideal centre of the cosmos. Early English Medieval people adopted this notion, which, however, seems to consign the island to the margins of civilization. This paper investigates how the position of Britain at the border of the map impacted the perceived degree of civilization of the Early Medieval English people and how their geographical location might have imbued the idea of Englishness with monstrosity.

Through an analysis of E.M. Forster’s A Room with A View (1908), this article sets itself the twofold aim of (1) shedding light on the changes in courtship and the choosing of a partner that have characterised personal and romantic relationships over the last century, and (2) exploring an instance of the literary construction of Italian otherness in Anglophone fiction. By analysing the novel in the light of several recent insights and findings in (literary/popular) romance scholarship (Regis 2003; Fletcher 2008; Illouz 2012), this article corroborates the affiliations of A Room with a View with the romantic literary tradition.
本文通过分析 E.M. 福斯特的《看得见风景的房间》(A Room with A View,1908 年),确定了自己的双重目标:(1) 揭示求爱和选择伴侣方面的变化,这些变化是上个世纪个人关系和浪漫关系的特点;(2) 探索英语小说中意大利他者文学建构的一个实例。通过根据(文学/流行)浪漫主义学术界最近的一些见解和发现(Regis,2003 年;Fletcher,2008 年;Illouz,2012 年)分析这部小说,本文证实了《看得见风景的房间》与浪漫主义文学传统的关联。
