#Rebel2016 版 - 第三更新 - 2016年4月 「マッド・フォー・マドンナ」はライブePubとなる!*** ワールドツアー、ヒット・シングル、映画と本に満ちた30年のキャリアにわたり、マドンナはいつも目立っていた。はやくも1982年を始め、彼女の挑発的なルックスを真似し、彼女の歌を歌い、彼女を徐々にフェミニズム、性的自由と表現の象徴にしていった数万人の若い女性の注目を引いてきた。各期待に反して、マドンナは、我が社会と完璧な調和に生きていて、大衆文化のトレンドを生み出して、何十年も活躍してきた。1980年代のミュージシャンが次々と消え去っていったうちに、「Like A Virgin」のスターは年代を超え、いつもチャートの1位を獲得していた。多面の芸能人で、自分自身を歌手、女優、ダンサー、監督、上手な実業家、ポップスの女王蜂、挑発者とも、同時に母親と優れた慈善家(「レイジング・マラウイ」基金の創立者)ともして何度も再発明してきた。「マッド・フォー・マドンナ」は、彼女を、レコードを二億枚以上売れた無敵のポップ女王にした、相次ぐ明と暗に満ちたキャリアをデビューから現代まで語っている。この魅力的な完全伝記は、イタリアとヨーロッパのファンたちのために素敵な参考となるにちがいない。

A dual-language edition of Japanese stories—many appearing in English for the first time This volume of eight short stories, with…
parallel translations, offers students at all levels the opportunity to enjoy a wide range of contemporary literature without having constantly to refer back to a dictionary. The stories—many of which appear here in English for the first time—are by well-known writers like Haruki Murakami and Banana Yoshimoto, as well as emerging voices like Abe Kazushige, Ishii Shinji, and Kawakami Hiromi. From the orthodox to the cutting-edge, they represent a range of styles and themes, showcasing the diversity of Japanese fiction over the past few decades in a collection that is equally rewarding for beginning, intermediate, and advanced students of English or Japanese. Complete with notes, the stories make excellent reading in either language.Yosano Akiko and The Tale of Genji (Michigan Monograph Series in Japanese Studies #28)

Yosano Akiko (1878–1942) has long been recognized as one of the most important literary figures of prewar Japan. Her renown…
derives principally from the passion of her early poetry and from her contributions to 20th-century debates about women. This emphasis obscures a major part of her career, which was devoted to work on the Japanese classics and, in particular, the great Heian period text The Tale of Genji. Akiko herself felt that Genji was the bedrock upon which her entire literary career was built, and her bibliography shows a steadily increasing amount of time devoted to projects related to the tale. This study traces for the first time the full range of Akiko’s involvement with The Tale of Genji. The Tale of Genji provided Akiko with her conception of herself as a writer and inspired many of her most significant literary projects. She, in turn, refurbished the tale as a modern novel, pioneered some of the most promising avenues of modern academic research on Genji, and, to a great extent, gave the text the prominence it now enjoys as a translated classic. Through Akiko’s work Genji became, in fact as well as in name, an exemplum of that most modern of literary genres, the novel. In delineating this important aspect of Akiko’s life and her bibliography, this study aims to show that facile descriptions of Akiko as a “poetess of passion” or “new woman” will no longer suffice.
