    Chapter Un lungo viaggio di Res publica: distanze e incroci linguistici fra la «Repubblica fiorentina» e il Giappone moderno (2024)
    Firenze University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-05-12
    Description: Contact with Western civilisation generated an enormous amount of translation of Western writings in Japan in the second half of the 19th century. Society and culture of modern Japan were built on this great undertaking, but discrepancies between the source and target languages can create complex entanglements. It is certainly fascinating to pay attention to the very entanglements created in the process of moving from the original language to the language of translation. From this point of view, one of the most interesting examples, the subject of this essay, is the term res publica/republic and its Japanese translation kyōwa, due to their linguistic distances and intersections.

    Chapter Encounter with «Moral science» in Late Nineteenth-Century Japan (2024)
    Firenze University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-05-12
    Description: The term «moral science» was used in universities and academies prior to the emergence of the expression «humanities and social sciences». However, its connection with the modern eastern Asian context has not yet been sufficiently investigated. This paper tries to fill the gap with a case study on its import and appropriation by late nineteenth-century Japan to its socio-cultural sphere, having lacked the framework of classifying the sciences into «moral» and «physical» ones. The study achieves this by examining the activities of Meirokusha, a learned society created in 1773 to promote Western studies, and the writings of one of its leading members, Yukichi Fukuzawa, who tried to understand Francis Wayland’s Elements of Moral Science (1835), a famous American textbook in his time.

    Publication Date: 2024-05-12
    Description: In the last hundred years, the progress of science in its various disciplines has been prodigious and the University of Florence, in connection with international research groups, has developed excellent research. The progress achieved has favored the creation of new university courses and technological transfer with important advantages for the city and its economy. Examples of these interactions are physics and astronomy studies with the application development of new technologies, naturalistic studies with precious natural history collections, structural and biochemical studies for the development of new drugs and vaccines, the numerous applications of mathematical sciences, statistics and information technology and the development of science for the conservation of cultural heritage.

    Katechetischer Schriftgebrauch im frühmittelalterlichen Konstantinopel (2024)
    Brill | Schöningh
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-05-09
    Description: The Holy Scripture was used as a form of pre- and postbaptismal catechesis in early medieval Constantinople. This volume presents an examination of the theological content communicated to catechumens through the Bible, and also the role of Scripture in Christian families and in the school system of Constantinople. Die Heilige Schrift wurde zu einer Grundlage für die christliche Unterweisung in Konstantinopel, indem sie im Gottesdienst zu jedem Tauftermin sowie nach der Taufe eine Art der Katechese darstellte. Zudem galt die Bibel als eine Basis für Erziehungs- bzw. Bildungszwecke in Konstantinopel. Der vorliegende Band beleuchtet aus theologischer Perspektive die etablierten Bibeltexte in der artifiziell zu verstehenden Zeitperiode zwischen dem 7. und dem 10. Jh., in der ein steigender Rekurs auf die patristische Schriftauslegung zu beobachten ist. Diese trug neben der Überlieferung des eindrücklichen theologischen Gehalts auch zur aktiven Einbettung der Schrift in liturgische Riten bei. Neben der Aufteilung der alttestamentlichen Perikopen fokussiert sich die vorliegende Untersuchung auf einige Evangeliumstexte, die sich als eine postbaptismale Katechese erwiesen. In einem abschließenden Beitrag wird die Rolle der Psalmen im Schulwesen und in den christlichen Familien untersucht.

    'A dream within a dream within a dream ...'? (2024)
    Brill | Fink
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-11
    Description: Dreams within dreams remind us of the treacherous nature of reality. This first comparative study on the subject reveals the diversity of dream-within-a-dream structures. Works of literature, film, TV series and comics from different cultures are analysed in close readings, uncovering their often complex and ambiguous shape. They are also placed in a broader cultural history of the dream. Der Traum im Traum kann Potenzierung des Traums sein oder in Abgründe falschen Erwachens führen. Diese erste komparatistische Monografie zu der Thematik zeigt nicht nur das Spektrum der Formen, sondern auch ihre Anbindung an grundlegende Fragen nach der Zuverlässigkeit der Wahrnehmung und der Realität der Welt. Im Rahmen der vergleichenden Untersuchung von Werken aus Literatur, Film, Fernsehserie und Comic aus diversen kulturellen Kontexten zeigt sich der Traum im Traum in all seinen Gestalten. Diese werden dabei in strukturalistischer Tradition als Traum-im-Traum-Strukturen begriffen. Zahlreiche Einzeluntersuchungen oft komplexer und ambivalenter Beispiele bilden neben Einblicken in die Literaturgeschichte des Traum im Traum den Kern des Buches. Unter Rückgriff auf Methoden der Narratologie, der Phantastiktheorie und der kulturwissenschaftlichen Beschreibung von Traumdarstellungen entsteht ein umfassendes Bild dieses Phänomens.

    Chapter Captured Glimpses of Modernity and War in Late Qing China (2024)
    Firenze University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-11
    Description: This chapter evaluates the role of photography in witnessing the modernising process in China during the late Qing period and conflicts which stemmed from it. The camera, introduced in China during the First Opium War (1839–1842), allowed Western eyes to record the establishment of trade routes and associated facilities. The photos examined here were taken immediately before and during the Russo-Japanese War. The photographs appear to have been focusing on technological developments in trade infrastructure, but they also captured the conspicuous Japanese and Russian military presence. Consequently, the photographs reveal the Western role in the “development” of China by its incorporation into global trading networks and violent conflicts fought over control of this infrastructure.

    Chapter Fosco Maraini e la cultura giapponese. Note di lettura (2024)
    Firenze University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-08
    Description: Nel Novecento italiano Fosco Maraini (1912–2004) spicca per la sua forte e creativa personalità di antropologo, fotografo, viaggiatore, alpinista e scrittore. Fattore unificante di queste attività fu il concetto di alterità delle culture, così come questo era stato elaborato dall’antropologia di Boas, Kroeber e Benedict. In particolare nei suoi scritti sul passato e sul presente del Giappone è riscontrabile una visione simpatetica e fondamentalmente essenzialista delle società umane. Formatosi soprattutto sui testi dell’antropologia americana del periodo tra le due guerre, Maraini affrontò una tensione difficilmente risolvibile tra la permanenza delle componenti originarie, che definiscono ogni cultura attraverso i secoli, e l’inarrestabile processo di trasformazione interno indotto dalla modernizzazione.

    Buddhism in Central Asia II (2024)
    Brill
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-08
    Description: The ERC-funded research project BuddhistRoad aims to create a new framework to enable understanding of the complexities in the dynamics of cultural encounter and religious transfer in pre-modern Eastern Central Asia. Buddhism was one major factor in this exchange: for the first time the multi-layered relationships between the trans-regional Buddhist traditions (Chinese, Indian, Tibetan) and those based on local Buddhist cultures (Khotanese, Uyghur, Tangut) will be explored in a systematic way. The second volume Buddhism in Central Asia II—Practice and Rituals, Visual and Materials Transfer based on the mid-project conference held on September 16th–18th, 2019, at CERES, Ruhr-Universität Bochum (Germany) focuses on two of the six thematic topics addressed by the project, namely on "practices and rituals", exploring material culture in religious context such as mandalas and talismans, as well as “visual and material transfer”, including shared iconographies and the spread of ‘Khotanese’ themes.

    Chapter Voltaire historien, Voltaire auteur de théâtre : son attitude face à la Corée (2024)
    Firenze University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-07
    Description: Voltaire is one of the few European authors of the 18th century to have dealt with Korea. In this study, we first propose to highlight, through an analysis of all of his work, the texts in which he mentioned Korea and how this country is represented there. We will then try to identify his documentary sources, and we will focus mainly on how the author created stories from historical elements. Our survey also aims to understand Voltaire’s attitude to the historical-philosophical and dramatic genres, and to better understand his conception of these two genres.

    Chapter «Robbe d’Europa»: Global Connections and the Mailing of Letters, Money, and Merchandise in the Eighteenth-Century China Mission (2024)
    Firenze University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-07
    Description: Manuscript reports and letters written in China by the Propaganda Fide and Jesuit missionaries criss-crossed the oceans and the continents to reach Europe on ships, carts, horses, mules, and palanquins, using both European systems of transportation provided by the various East India Companies and governments, and other local public and private postal arrangements. Missionary agencies also mailed from the West robbe d’Europa («European things»), such as silver coins, foodstuff and drugs (chocolate, wine, cheese, olive oil, tobacco), medicines, galanterie (luxury items), books, devotional objects and prints. Chinese goods (tea, silk, medicines, luxury items, books) were sent in the opposite direction to please patrons in Europe. Without this multi-layered, imperfect, yet workable mailing system, the flow of information and articles fuelling early modern globalisation and, within it, the Chinese missions, would have been impossible.
