The aim of this paper is to explain the complex mental structure of Shenxian theory (神仙節) in Taoism (道教) using spiritual historical analysis. Originally the primitive cult of immortality was seen in inland beliefs such as the Kunlun myth(崑崙神話). However, after f the Warring States Period in the middle of 4th century B. C., Haixian belief(海仙信仰) (e.g. the Legend of Penglai 蓬莱伝説) originated from countries in coastal areas, such as Qi (斉) and Chu(楚), and those beliefs became assimilated. Later, the Shenxian theory was supported by alchemy which was the high technology at that time and absorbed ancient Chinese folk beliefs, the Taoist school (道家) metaphysical views of nature alchemists' delusion of grandeur in the universe, tradition of techniques to attain Yangshenshu (養生術) since the Qin'Han(秦漢) dynasties, and outcomes of folk medicine. Then the eminent scholar GeHong (葛洪) in Eastern Jin(東晋) systematized and established the Shenxian theory. The Shenxian theory established by GeHong has theoretical and rationalistic tendencies. Especially the empirical and realistic thonght (that Shenxian is not innate but attained through trainings) and mundane spirit (seen in Dixian theory (地仙説) that Shenxian does not ascend heaven but stayed in this world for a long time) reflect the rationalistic and utilitarian values of traditional Chinese culture. From this perspective cultural characteristics of Taoism can be understood. The Shenxian belief(神仙信仰) for immortals was just a fantasy, but in that approach we see the Chinese active attitude toward nature. The theoretical foundation of Shenxian theory formed by GeHong was influenced by this anti-fatalistic natural philosophy. Compared with the Confucian (儒家) tradition, which is characterized by neglect of technology, awe of Heaven's will, respect for the teachings of ancestors and primary emphasis on texts the Shenxian theory in Taoism is unique.

Various researches in popular music studies and related areas have been discussing the correlation between pop music and violent behaviors. While this study finds ground in the both sides of arguments - music as the root of violent behavior of teenagers and music having nothing to do with violence - it focuses on where and how violent behavior and music meet to form a nexus of cultural context. A recent study on urban Papua New Guinea by Karl Neuenfeldt has made an account of "mayhem" took place in during a pop concert at Port Moresby Show in order to exemplify contemporary cultural complex of the country. This study takes advantage of the Neuenfeldt article to posit an argument on violence and music by taking three separate incidents of violence at outdoor music concerts from the Madang area, where the author conducted a field research between 1997 and 1998. Both in Port Moresby and Madang, the aspect of moral panic may involve micro-ethnic conflict, sexual attack, and quality and repertoire of musical performance. However, the cases from Madang reflect more rural context than Port Moresby in the sense that both musicians and audiences are grassroots, whereas in Port Moresby the musicians tend to be widely recognized social figures. Thus in the Madang area, the complex of violence and music is exemplary of cultural production of the grassroots. The nature of violence, aside from direct causes such as the alcohol or personal feud, exists in the ideological effect of 'addressing' of singing voices. The singing voice, which always follows the phonetics of native languages and Melanesian Pidgin in the case of grassroots pops, becomes subject to imagining who is singing. The worst, occasionally violent reaction, is the consequence of a "White men's song", which is either copy of Western pop or an original that makes use of hard rock-style complex chords or a slow tempo like rock ballad. A grassroots audience clearly imagines a non-Papua New Guinea face behind such a singing voice, even if the singer is a Papuan or Melanesian, and reacts with negative comment or violence. The sense of 'being made resonate' with the sound of White men's song leads grassroots audience to the feeling of alienation and deprivation of identity. In the cases of a denied romantic approach leading to sexual violence, which in one case resulted rape, listening to grassroots music that romanticizes local and lived spaces of life, such as a lover, surmounts the feeling of lack. Along with the beat of reggae that often incorporates words from local traditional dance, the grassroots music may alienate the audience by creating a feeling of loss, such as feeling that The voice that is singing, is not I.' Even if the music is sung in a pleasant voice, emotive contents, and played in a dancing rhythm, when it is felt as an addressing voice, it makes an awareness in the audience that he or she is not the one who is singing, or who is expressing feelings so deeply.

This paper describes the history of Shimane International College from the oral history of former president SHIMADA Masaharu, who was a major contributor to the founding and development of the college. Shimane International College, which was the predecessor of the University of Shimane(Hamada Campus), was established in 1993 to create a base for higher education in the western part of Shimane Prefecture. The mission of the college is to foster international human resources and revitalize the region. The vision for the development of the college was expressed with the slogan, “Let’s establish a small college, promote its growth, and make it more splendid!” The enthusiasm to realize this vision was manifested in the passion to create a college that responds to the demands of the times and regions, and has departments and centers that are unique in other prefectures, and that is even ahead of the times. The characteristics of education can be grasped by keywords such as international exchange, communication, human resource development, Northeast Asia, small-group education, independence, college opened to the community, regional exchange, and regional contribution. The college received a generous back-up despite the tight prefectural finances, gathered excellent faculty members, and clerical staffs, and enhanced various aspects such as educational content and educational environment. However, because the college is a small school, there were not many faculty members, and there were times when there was not enough manpower to contribute to the community. Therefore, it was operated with the spirit of “Let’s do what each person can do”. When the college actually opened, student recruitment was smooth and the employment rate was very high at that time. In response to this result, the college staff will renew their original intention to“ Let’s make the college more splendid!” and will continue to work toward the realization of the vision. Then the two-year college was transformed to the University of Shimane.

The purpose of this study is to deliberate the commitment of "place" to the birth and the appreciation of art works with special attention to the "site-specific art." "Site-specific" is a keyword which describes a trend of contemporary arts connected deeply with the place. Chapter I examines the basic relationships between contemporary art and society by noting an increasing power of individuals. Chapter II reveals the importance of the issue of "place" in art studies by referring to the rock-paintings in caves in prehistoric times and to the system of museum. Chapter III focuses upon the significance of the last masterpieces of Claude Monet, namely "Les salles des Nympheas au musee de l'Orangerie (The Rooms of Water Lilies in the Orangerie Museum), " from a new viewpoint of the "environmental art" that is one of the concepts of contemporary art. Chapter IV emphasizes the resurrection of "place" in the field of art, which is exemplified by five trends of "site-specific art" since 1960s, i.e. the "environmental art, " the "public art, " the "earth work, " the "installation, " and the "art project." In conclusion, this paper demonstrates the following three points. Firstly, art has a close connection with particular place intrinsically. "Site-specific" is, indeed, the keyword that expresses it. Secondly, it is indicated that the "art project" is the newest art expression that has integrated several trends of "site-specific art" since 1960s. On the other hand, some problems of the "art project" are also pointed out. Thirdly, the "site-specific art" has essentially the nature of "off-museum." It suggests that the system of museum has a serious influence upon art expressions.

1. When we look back upon the recent years, the Japanese banks faced many events which were not thought of before such as (1)the collapses of several major banks (2)extremely severe and protracted bad loan problems (3)the consolidation among major banks forming four big financial groups and (4)the entrance to the banking industries by the non-financial corporations and the birth of the internet banks. 2. Public financial institutions which have long been criticized because of their size which is much larger than originally intended and their lending terms which are more favorable for the borrowers than those of commercial banks. Reform efforts of these institutions, especially the Postal Services Agency and the Government Housing Loan Corporation, are underway toward organizational restructuring and downsizing. 3. The results of the fiscal year ending in March 2002 of the Japanese banks deteriorated significantly. Net losses after-tax for all banks increased from 0.1 trillion yen of the previous year to 4.9 trillion yen. Main reasons for this heavy losses are (1)substantially increased credit costs due to the deflationary economic environment and strengthened loan classification by the banks and inspections of the Financial Services Agency (FSA) (2)large amount of write-off of equities under the low price level of the equity market. 4. The special inspection by the FSA had a significant effect on banks' financial results. However, special inspection covered only large, highly-indebted borrowers of the major banks representing only about 4 per cent of their total loans. More comprehensive and strict inspections are needed to recognize the true scale of bad loans of the Japanese banks as a whole. 5. Together with tackling the bad loan problems, the Japanese banks need to improve their profitability which is extremely low compared with those of the major banks of the U.S. and European countries. In order to achieve this goal, the Japanese banks need to make every effort to increase interest earnings and fee incomes. 6. At the end of July of this year, the Japanese government proposed that the government maintain full protection for non-interest bearing settlement account. However, this new proposal seem to serve to further delay the process of recovering by the Japanese banking system by allowing the weak institutions to stay in the market. 7. In summary, solving the bad loan problems, strengthening the profitability and the reform of the public financial institutions are three key factors for the future of the Japanese banks. In addition to the strenuous efforts by the banks themselves, the strong leadership of the Japanese government is inevitable including the overall reform of public financial institutions and the injections of the necessary public fund.

The thesis of this paper is based on the following hypothesis. Cultural communications between Japan and China are represented by words of the same characters in Japanese and Chinese. During the May 4th Era, China borrowed many new words from Japan. The majority of the new Japanese words, written in the same characters as Chinese, have been absorbed into the Chinese language and used by the Chinese in daily life without any sense of incongruity as if they were native Chinese words. However, some Japanese words with the same characters but different meanings have not been absorbed by Chinese society, as if the stones carried by the waves in the high tide were left scattered on the beach on the ebb tide, which may also be characteristic of the cultural communications between the two countries. The works of Luxun are representative of this. It is in the light of the original age of the particular works and the original language environment that the "marks" of cultural communications between the two countries can be understood and clarified. Only in this way can the wordings be analyzed. Through an analysis of Luxun's works in this may, many Japanese expressions were found.

American Association of Fundraising Counsel estimated total charitable contributions in the United States of America at $203.45 billion for 2000, 2.0 percent of Gross Domestic Product. As for the corporate giving, total corporate charitable contributions were estimated to have been $10.86 billion in 2000, an increase of 12.1 percent over 1999. In the history of charitable contributions in the United States of America, the role of business corporations were not so important in amount owing to the doctrine of ultra vires. In the case of A.P. Smith MFG. CO. v. Barlow et al., Supreme Court of New Jersey declared that business corporation's contribution for general maintenance of privately supported educational institution was not an ultra vires act, and that corporate power to make reasonable charitable contributions existed under modern conditions. This was a turning point in the history of corporate charitable contributions. The aim of this paper is to analyze the case and the influences in the history of corporate charitable contributions.

世界で最も人口密度の高いアジア・太平洋地域には、1995年現在約33億人、つまり世界人口の58%が居住する。この地域の6か国、中国、インド、インドネシア、パキスタン、日本、バングラデッシュは世界で最も人口の多い10か国の中に入る。環境負荷に対する伝統的な考えは人口規模、人口増加率、人口密度に基づくものであったが、人間の消費の大きさも地球や地域のエコシステムに悪影響を与えていることが分かってきた。国ごとの「一人当たり国内総生産(購買力平価)×人口」の比較によると、中国と日本はそれぞれ世界第2位、第3位で、アメリカに次ぐ。もし消費活動が環境破壊の主原因であるとすれば、これら3国の地球生態系保護に対する責任は重い。最近の研究によると、人口増加、貧困、資源枯渇、環境破壊の間にも悪循環の関係があることが判明している。過去数十年間にインド、インドネシア、フィリピン、マレーシア、スリランカなどの国々でとられた貧困対策は一応の成果を収めたが、地域のみならず地球全体の環境を守るためには、アジア諸国の一層の努力が継続されることが望まれる。

Most Papua New Guineans consider singsing tumbuna, or "songs of ancestors," as representative traditional dance from of community. Despite such a widely accepted notion, many of indigenous dance style did not survive form colonization and the missions. In fact, what we see as singsing tumbuna today is an invention rearranged and resurrected from old dances in most cases; it was designed so in order to accommodate with cultural events and public inaugurations organized by the authorities, as well as to promote tourism. In Yabob, a local community near the Madang town, a singsing tumbuna named daik was a group of short songs from indigenous courtship songs sung by the youth in hidden nightly courtship parties held in the bush, which often led to premarital intercourses. As the mission prohibited the courtship for moral reasons, the original songs ceased to be sung, only to be remembered. When the ban on traditional dancing was lifted by the Australian administration after the 1920s, Yabob people rearranged daik for public performance. Today, Yabob has two singsing tumbuna pieces, daik and maimai, the latter of which was derived from a part of the former. Yabob's case demands a conceptual paradigm that renders neither cultural essentialism nor a simple theory of cultural invention that takes production of culture as being a false consciousness or a result of manipulation. In this paper, singsing tumbuna in today's cultural context is scrutinized as a cultural practice interplaying with corporeality and the configuration of "neighborhood" (life world in context) and "locality" (the relational or the contextual), as Arjun Appadurai conceptualized. The corporeality of singsing tumbuna is a "groove," or a participation consciousness cultivated through dancing and musical performance. The groove of singsing tumbuna sets up locality as a neighborhood where cultural interactions are felt as a lived world. The locality of singsing tumbuna often involves foreigners and outsiders, and even a part of words of the songs and costume are arranged for pop music concerts known as powerband; these alterations are also part of a PNG way of sensing reality, here and now, of locality, which is felt as communality-like, by means of groove that incessantly localizes neighborhoods with flexibility.
