• Emaciation or Emasculation: Photographic Images, White Masculinity and Captivity by the Japanese in World War Two

This article argues for the need to historicize the use and reception of photographs taken of Allied POWs upon release from Japanese prison camps at the end of World War Two. Photographs of semi-naked, emaciated POWs at the time of their liberation were extremely unusual images of white men in a state of almost complete abjection. They provide an opportunity to explore the links between masculinity and war with particular reference to the way visual images-in this case photography-inform and shape that relationship. The images convey contradictory messages to the viewer. They undermine the hegemonic masculinity of the virile male warrior yet unmistakably invoke the power of a quite singular cultural referent: the suffering body of Christ. The argument to be explored here is that this du...

• The Evolution of Japanese Employer-Sponsored Retirement Plans

This article examines the development of Japanese voluntary employer-sponsored retirement plans with an emphasis on recent trends. Before 2001, companies in Japan offered retirement benefits as lump-sum severance payments and/or benefits from one of two types of defined benefit (DB) pension plans. One DB plan type was based on an earlier occupational pension model used in the United States. The other DB plan type allowed companies to opt out of the earnings-related portion of social security. Landmark laws passed in 2001 introduced a new generation of occupational retirement plans to employers and employees, creating three new DB plan designs and two new defined contribution types of plans. Since that time, the mix of employer-sponsored retirement plans offered in Japan has changed si...

• Redlands Connects with Japanese Families

As soon as members of Redlands Sister Cities Association got word of the 8.9-magnitude earthquake that shook Japan on Friday, they took to their computers to try to reach their Japanese "families. Each year, the association facilitates student and professional exchanges between Redlands students, police officers and firefighters with those in Redlands' sister city of Hino, Japan. The city is one hour west of Tokyo and three hours south of the quake's epicenter of Sendai, which was very near the earthquake's epicenter and is Riverside's sister city. Association board member and past president Lowa Anderson said Redlands residents who go to Hino become part of their host families, so they were worried after learning of the quake.

• A New Turn in the U.S.-Japanese Alliance?

Obscured by the earthquake-tsunami-nuclear-threat tragedy and the crises in the Middle East, there have been subtle geopolitical shifts in the Western Pacific. With little publicity in the U.S. media (or, for that matter, in the left-leaning Japanese mainstream press), American military forces played a magnificent role in the rescue and early cleanup efforts following the March tsunami.
