”No barrier between high and low”: Love, ethics, status and style in the fiction of Ihara Saikaku. $49.99 In 1682 Ihara Saikaku (1642-1693), a leading composer of haikai renga, a linked-verse genre that both appropriates the tropes and devices of Japanese court poetry and ostentatiously flouts its genteel rules of diction, shifted his efforts to fiction and wrote the bestselling Koshoku ichidai otoko (The Life of an Amorous Man), which literary scholars later posited as the founding work of the ukiyozoshi or “floating world fiction” genre, which encompasses the bulk of late seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century Japanese fiction.;The goal of this study is to examine the peculiar mixtures of subject matter, of narrative voices and of styles that make up the texture of Saikaku’s fiction, as well as to explore its relation to a socio-historical context characterized by great de facto social mobility and cultural ferment at odds with the Tokugawa shogunate’s legally imposed system of rigid status categories. To that end I analyze a selection of works that reflects the broad scope of Saikaku’s oeuvre, highlighting commonalities among them while simultaneously striving to capture their diversity. Chief among the traits shared by the texts I analyze are a dialogic quality involving both the mixing of disparate elements mentioned above and the existence within individual texts of competing ethical stances. From this blend of voices emerges a prevailing prosperous- chonin ethos reflecting a bourgeois will to make hierarchy depend on potentially acquirable assets such as money and cultural sophistication, rather than depending on birth, thus replacing a rigid status system with a fluid hierarchy, a sort of meritocracy of the marketplace.;The first chapter examines Budo denraiki (Exemplary Tales of the Way of the Warrior, 1687), a collection of thirty-two samurai vendetta tales. I analyze the manner in which separate currents within Way of the Warrior reflect a blend of gratitude for the peace and prosperity brought by the Tokugawa regime, resentment at the limits placed on |

”The place is so backward”: Durable morality and creative development in northern Sierra Leone. $49.99 Residents of Makeni, Sierra Leone, describe their town and their behavior as “backward”. Both are “backward” because of the influences of trading, religion, bad governance, poor education, and war but especially because of endemic poverty. People are preoccupied with the fact that they, and their town, cannot “develop” from this state. I use this preoccupation with “development”—and lack thereof—as a lens through which to examine how basic morality, in Sierra Leone the existence of individuals in reciprocal relationships with kin and other members of patronage networks, has become flexibly responsive to personal circumstances that are consistently “backward” and impoverished.;Notions of reciprocity have become more concretely defined and closely aligned with relationships of overt mutual assistance: people are no longer taking their relationships for granted, and if they “develop” on their own, they expect not to have to assist anyone simply because the latter are kin. Some people flaunt their “self-development” by using their money on conspicuous consumption, a habit of politicians especially that is particularly morally contested in arguments over to whom any “self-made man” is obligated. People who “develop” too much without giving back to their social networks will be “pulled down” by the people they have neglected, and all of these habits are enhanced by the aid the town receives. These habits occur because residents, younger people especially, do not remember living in a stable or prosperous enough environment to assume that the exemplary morality—that of “taken for granted” mutual obligation with kin—is possible. Though conscious of what they ought to do in an ideal world, individuals live firmly in the world as it is, and make morally based decisions from this foundation. I argue that the consistent lack of a “normal” living situation, both in the pre-war past and in the present, means that, especially when studying a nation postwar, we cannot |

101 Defences: How the Mind Shields Itself $99 Defenses are mental operations that restore or maintain psychic equilibrium when people feel that they cannot manage emotions that stem from conflict; they remove components of unpleasant emotions from conscious awareness.
