Provides a new and much needed appraisal of Ireland's engagement with the phenomenon of modernity. The path we have traveled from being a rural-based, religious, traditional, insular country, to a secular, highly prosperous economic hi-tech centre has brought in its wake both problems and advantages. 'Engaging Modernity' evaluates how in the realms of politics, culture and literature, Ireland has undergone a major paradigm shift. This book is composed of a selection of papers from a conference held under the auspices of EFACIS (European Federation of Centres and Associations of Irish Studies) in Aarhus (Denmark) in 2001 and organized by Michael B""ss. It brought together academics and commentators from many European countries and the book bears witness to a diversity of opinions on Ireland's recent evolution.

Scientific Study from the year 2025 in the subject Ethnology / Cultural Anthropology, grade: 18, , language: English, abstract: One of the most striking features of Japan’s engagement with modernity is its concept of memory. While the West has often viewed memory as a passive repository of past events, Japan regards memory as an active, creative force that shapes both individual and collective identity. Japan’s cultural memory—embodied in literature, art, and commemorative practices—does not simply preserve the past but actively engages with it to create meaning and navigate the present. The role of aesthetics in Japanese culture further complicates and enriches this understanding of memory. Aesthetics in Japan is not merely concerned with the appreciation of beauty, but with a more philosophical and existential exploration of life’s impermanence. The mono no aware (the "pathos of things") is a central tenet of Japanese aesthetics that encourages a heightened awareness of the fleeting nature of existence, coupled with an appreciation for the fragility and beauty inherent in all things. This philosophical outlook challenges the technocratic worldview of modernity, offering instead a model where awareness of impermanence informs not only individual behavior but also collective actions and societal organization. In this book, we aim to explore how Japan’s rich cultural memory and aesthetic sensibilities can provide the intellectual and ethical resources needed to rethink modernity in the 21st century. By examining the relationship between memory, aesthetics, and philosophy, we hope to develop a framework for addressing the global challenges we face today. This framework will not only draw on Japanese thought and tradition but also engage with contemporary philosophical and theoretical discourses that reflect the global stakes of modernity’s future.

The Komedi Bioscoop traces the emergence of a local culture of movie-going in the Netherlands Indies (present-day Indonesia) from 1896 until the First World War in 1914. It outlines the introduction of the new technology by independent touring exhibitors, the constitution of a market for moving picture shows, the embedding of moving picture exhibitions within the local popular entertainment scene, and the Dutch colonial authorities' efforts to control film consumption and distribution. Focusing on the cinema as a social institution in which technology, race, and colonialism converged, moving picture venues in the Indies—ranging from canvas or bamboo tents to cinema palaces of brick and stone—are perceived as liminal spaces in which daily interactions across boundaries could occur within colonial Indonesia's multi-ethnic and increasingly polarized colonial society.
