Since the 1990s, both donor and recipient countries of international legal assistance programs have increased in number, working with diverse issues related to good governance and the rule of law. Although legal scholars and practitioners share the geographical area and topics with anthropologists, the dialogue between them is limited at this point. This article attempts to shed some light on the background of this situation to promote future interactions. Legal anthropology and anthropology of development both have a long history but have kept some distance from the rule of law building projects for different reasons. For example, the notion of rule of law, essential in the discourse of development, rarely enters anthropological discussions, because of the implicit social evolutionism that anthropologists try to overcome. However, it is also significant that the rule of law building is at present under the influence of participatory development theory, which allows considering the multiple layers of law and the dynamic interactions between them. On the other hand, legal pluralism, often regarded as a threat to rule of law, is for legal anthropologists, not a normative concept to be aimed for but is a social fact to start with. Understanding these different connotations of important terminologies would be beneficial in enhancing the space for cooperation between law and anthropology.

The Taipei 228 Memorial Museum was originally a radio station called the “ Taipei Broadcasting Corporation” in prewar times. During the 228 Incident, civilians occupied this building and used it to broadcast rallying cries around Taiwan. I visited this museum in September 2012 on unrelated research. There, I noticed a Chuo University cap on display. What relationship did Chuo University have with the 228 Incident? Actually, among those who were executed or went missing during the 228 Incident, there were many Taiwanese elites who had studied at Japanese universities. People who had studied at not only Chuo University but also the University of Tokyo,Waseda University, Nihon University, and other universities, and became lawyers and doctors on their return to Taiwan, were executed as dissidents who were deemed to have been poisoned by Japanese imperialistic education. After seeing the cap, me and my students started the project, the “228 Incident in Taiwan and the Chuo Graduates”; we gathered testimonies from eight victims’ families. This article outlines the testimonies and shows the attitudinal changes of students who engaged in the project. Almost all of the students acquired new perspectives on Japanese–Taiwanese historical issues and meanings and agree that there is a good reason why most Taiwanese are pro-Japanese.

When presenting the fundamental beliefs of Christianity to students in Asia, the question is: Where to begin? "Begin with Jesus of Nazareth" is the common answer. Yet, was Jesus of Nazareth the founder of Christianity? In reality, Christianity began from one person's formal letters, Paul of Tarsus (c. 5-67 CE). Through these letters, addressed to various Christ communities around the Roman Empire, we encounter an extraordinary consciousness, one of the great figures of Western civilization and arguably the most influential. These letters show not only Paul's complicated personality but also a complicated social-historical context: the mixtures of ethnic groups in the Eastern Mediterranean of the first-century CE. Paul's letters ignited the most far-reaching social experimentation the world has known. But why would Paul, a Jew in the Diaspora, insist that his religion of Judaism transcend its ethnic boundaries? In this article, I will review a little of these extraordinary letters, with a short biographical sketch, before highlighting two of Paul's permanent contributions to Western religious consciousness: 1) the belief that Jesus of Nazareth's death and resurrection were experientially redemptive; 2) the belief that the Christ congregations were the New Israel. Why Paul articulated these ideas can only be hinted at.

"Sabbatianism" is a movement named after Sabbatai Tzvi (1626-1676), a Jew of the Ottoman Empire. This movement, for all exposed to it, turned the world upside down. Scholars have called it a "transvaluation" within Jewish culture (Scholem 1973:685), meaning it spun accepted norms on their heads in ways that ultimately led to extreme expressions: A place where the violation of the sacred became a sacred duty. Sabbatianism repels as much as it attracts because it speaks to something deep within the human psyche: that fine line in consciousness between the sacred and profane, the moral and immoral, religious devotion and antinomianism, truth and imagination, meaning and nihilism. Sabbatianism developed independently of other messianic movements in Western monotheism, all of which tend to follow remarkably similar patters: Populace movements that forge revolutionary ideas destructive of the religious status quo. For Sabbatians vitality became sacred (Alter 1987:25), so the movement is only different in kind from certain social, artistic, and aesthetic movements, even without Messiahs, that teach the world to see through new eyes, however much the world may squirm over this. All messianic movements attempt to bridge the gap between humanity and the Divine (Davies 1987:80) and while Sabbatianism has also attempted this, it still presents riddles that have yet to be deciphered. I will touch here on a few of its revolutionary features.

Kabbalah, the culmination of mystical and esoteric traditions that stretch back thousands of years, has recently taken a more central place internationally as a source of spiritual inspiration. Kabbalah is seen today as Judaism's most important gift to world culture. This may show that people, in an age impatient with more difficult material, still want to encounter works that are spiritually and imaginatively on the heights. Kabbalah accepts catastrophe as a fundamental reality of life, not exactly a vision that fosters positive thinking. It also concentrates on the absolute need for human responsibility, not a very comforting message for those looking for easy answers (and Kabbalah does not yield its secrets easily). Kabbalah as we know it today formed from opposing forces within Judaism, between the rational (represented by Aristotle) and the intuitive (represented by Plato), a dialectic that I will touch on. Kabbalistic teachings, however, were not well-known until very recently and in fact went through a two hundred year exile (exile being one of Kabbalah's great themes), banished by rationalists of the Enlightenment, only to be resuscitated by people searching for their traditional roots and by some of the world's most gifted scholars. Here I will give an overview of a few basic teachings from the central works of Kabbalah, with a focus on catastrophe and redemption. Human goodness as a way to heal the world, a cosmic drama in which everyone plays a part, is perhaps Kabbalah's greatest lesson for global civilization.

ユダヤ教,キリスト教,イスラム教と,どの宗教を見ても明らかなように,私たちは今,新たな宗教復興の時代に生きていると言える.ジャンバッティスタ・ヴィーコ(1668 ― 1744) によれば,文明は神権政治に始まり貴族政治と民主主義を経て再び神権政治の順で循環しているという.彼が正しければ,私達が生きているのは単に宗教的熱狂の時代ではなく,神権政治への回帰過程であるとも言える.そして,もしそうであれば,聖書の持つ意味合いはかつてないほどに重要な色合いを帯びてくることになる.しかし,この時代がヴィーコの仮説通りの過程ではないとしても,私たちが聖書への理解を深めることは極めて重要である.何故なら,いくつもの時代を経てなお人々を魅了し続けて止まない聖書を理解することは,国々の文化や人々の価値観の基盤を理解することにも繋がる大切な作業だからである.ここでは,私が日本の各大学の教壇で聖書を取り上げてきた経験を踏まえて,聖書を学ぶことの原点に立ち返り,モーゼの書が世に送り出されるに至った経緯即ち聖書誕生の原点について考えてみたいと思う.

In Japan, the term ikumen refers to fathers who proactively participate in childcare. In recent years, the term has experienced a surge in popularity and was picked up by political bodies, private bodies and the media. In this paper, we inquire into newspapers' depiction of ikumen, looking into the central terms and topics of newspaper reporting on the involved fathers. Based on an analysis of headlines of newspaper articles published between January 2008 and June 2015 with the text mining software KH Coder, this paper serves as an introductory article to the terms and topics that come up when discussing ikumen in Japanese society. We fi nd that newspaper discussions of ikumen touch upon several fields, namely family and childcare, employment, support and initiatives and society and politics. We also identify hints suggesting that ikumen is perceived as an emotional-affective approach to fatherhood.
