    Japan was the most important non-Western colonial power in the modern period. In this paper, I will shed light on the “eyeglasses” of Japanese colonialismby examining the South Seas (Nan’yō) literature of Nakajima Atsushi. Uponreturning to Japan from a short stint as editor of Japanese language textbooksin Japanese-ruled Micronesia in 1941, Nakajima wrote two collections of storiesbased on his experiences, Nantōtan (Tales of the Southern Islands) and Kanshō(Atolls). The fifth work in the latter collection is a sketch called “Mariyan,” aportrait of a young Micronesian intellectual. The narrator of this story starts by offering the reader a compendium of colonial discourses, or stereotypes, on Nan’yō in order to “explain” Mariyan. Yet he is at the same time pained by the resemblances he discovers between himself and Mariyan: both are objects of a Western orientalizing gaze and hybrid products of cultural colonization. In a second storyin “Atolls” called “High Noon,” a Japanese narrator looks into the sources of hisown stereotypes of the South Seas and attempts to “decolonize” his vision. OgumaEiji argues that Japanese imperialism, as the first modern example of a “coloredimperialism,” differs in many ways from the Western pattern. By studyingNakajima’s Micronesian stories, I explore both the complexity and inconsistencies of Japan’s imperial gaze

    Visual Scoping and Personal Space on Shared Tabletop Surfaces

    Information is often shared between participants in meetings using a projector or a large display. Shared touch-based tabletop surface is an emerging technology. The shared display may not be able to accommodate all the information that participants want on the display. Moreover, large amounts of displayed information increase the complexity and clutter making it harder for participants to locate specific pieces of information. Key challenges are thus how to eliminate or hide irrelevant information and how participants can add information without distracting the other participants unintentionally. This study reports a novel approach that addresses these challenges by globally hiding information that is not relevant to all participants by introducing a private area on the public display

    In a world of inclusive education and assistive technologies, it is more important than ever to ensure every member of the class is given the opportunity of a sound education. This may present a challenge when almost every classroom includes students with additional and specific needs. MISViS (Meares-Irlen Syndrome Visual Stress) is one example of a learning disability that will require additional accommodations, but can be readily managed once a teacher is familiar with the individual’s needs
