稲魂文化 -モンスーン稲作地帯の稲魂文化-

This paper deals with the belief in the spirit of rice grain of the Dais and the Hanis in the Yunnan province of China. Even today, people worship sacred trees and believe in the spirit of rice grain in monsoon paddy field areas. It is believed that this spirit is a goddess and women embody it. The three aspects of the culture of this spirit are the worship of trees,the belief in the spirit of rice grain, and the feminine principle. This paper discusses the relationship between these three elements. The feature common to all three is the living power (the link between, and the continuity of, lives). I believe that our society today should respect the culture of the spirit of rice grain

The New Administrative Law—With the Same Old Judges in It

Twelve years of reviewing administrative decisions brings to mind The Witching Hour, the current best seller by Anne Rice.1 In it, a Lucifer-like spirit called Lasher roams through several generations of a New Orleans family. In each generation, a female family member, also a witch, acts as the medium for calling Lasher into being. At various times, depending on the nature of the witch, his spirit heals and nourishes; at other times it maims and destroys. Always, however, there is a seductive relationship between the spirit and the earthbound witch-they entice, thrill, and eventually take over one another, body and soul. This description is probably as good as any of what administrators and judges do with statutory spirits: New relationships form in each generation and the statutory spirit itself takes on new forms-sometimes for the good, sometimes for the bad. Our friends in academia are not innocent bystanders. Invariably, they also join in the seance, successively urging judges to be more adventurous, skeptical, deferential, or restrained-and now more substantive (in Sunstein\u27s case) and governance-oriented (in Edley\u27s case)-in calling forth the statutory spirit

Lestat, C\u27est Moi : Anne Rice\u27s Revelation of Self Through The Vampire Chronicles

In lieu of an abstract, below is the article\u27s first paragraph. To most, the word vampire conjures visions of Halloween, of old black and white horror movies, of Bela Lugosi whispering I vant to suck your blood. Yet for Anne Rice, this view of the vampire is much too limiting; true, her series of five Vampire Chronicles does focus mainly around the dark hero, Lestat, who is indeed, a blood-sucking monster. However, The Vampire Chronicles are far more than a collection of murderous escapades; they are, symbolically, a chronicle of the author\u27s spiritual journey - from her concern with commenting on social dynamics in the first installment, Interview with the Vampire, to her own personal confrontation with the religious experience and redemption in the last, Memnoch the Devil

Where Spirit and Bulldozer Roam: Environment and Anxiety in Highland Borneo

This paper explores changing perceptions of the natural environment among the Kelabit, an indigenous people of the Borneo interior. It considers both traditional and post-Christian conversion understandings about forest spaces. The former animistic ritual practices of the Kelabit centered on a spiritual dialogue with the natural world and this dialogue was often marked by active efforts to avoid or mitigate danger through ritual practice. One key example presented here is the former ceremony of \u27calling the eagle\u27 (nawar keniu), a ritual employed in times of crisis that exemplifies the dialogical and entwined relationship Kelabit had to the natural world. Such former animistic beliefs are contrasted with contemporary Christian practices, including a local mountain retreat on Mount Murud and present-day political and economic anxieties over logging in the Kelabit Highlands, as a means to consider relationships between religion and attitudes toward the environment among the Kelabit
