Waka for Japan
Waka for Japan
Website: http://www.temcauley.staff.shef.ac.uk/introduction.shtml
Email Address: t.e.mcauley@sheffield.ac.uk
Editor/Consultant: Thomas McAuley
Country: Japan
Type: Resource
Description: A resource for Japanese poetry/waka. Tsurayuki's words, written over a thousand years ago, are the first description by a Japanese of waka. The word is made up of two parts: wa meaning 'Japanese' and ka meaning 'poem' or 'song'. It was probably coined at about the time Tsurayuki was writing as a way to distinguish the poetry written by the Japanese in their own language from that they read and wrote in Chinese - the source of much of Japan's poetic inspiration. Today, the type of waka best known outside of Japan is probably the haiku, a sequence of three 'lines' of five, seven and five syllables and describing an aspect of nature. Haiku are now written in many languages other than Japanese, and widely in Japan itself. They are, however, a relatively late form of waka, beginning to be written in the seventeenth century, by which time the Japanese had already been writing poetry for a thousand years.

Country: Malaysia
Type: Resource
Description: As the name of this website suggests, Malaysian Writers on the Net is about Malaysian writers on the Net. Well, that was the original purpose – to provide an online presence for published Malaysian writers. While this remains the main focus of the site, we do realise that the Malaysian book publishing industry – or any country’s book publishing industry – is not just about writers. Writers are just the tip of the entire book publishing iceberg. They are the most visible aspect, i.e., the “face” of this industry, which perhaps explains why many books have pictures of their authors, usually filling the entire outside back cover. But book publishing is not just about writers and their books. It also includes other aspects, without which writers and books cannot come into being.

Type: Resource
Description: The Southeast Asian Literature Project is an independent initiative begun in May 2007, with the objective of developing awareness, exchange and translation of contemporary literature among writers and readers in Southeast Asia and beyond. The project was started as a response to the lack of representation of Southeast Asian literature within and outside the region, in the publishing arena, and most importantly to the younger generation of writers and readers. Since the project’s formation, the editors have received almost five hundred (500) submissions from Southeast Asia and from diaspora communities all over the world. The screening process for selection of works was begun in November 2007 and is, at present, almost complete. Editors are now in the process of assembling a manuscript and copy-editing the selected works. The editing, initial layout and design of the anthology is currently ongoing.

Description: We think that the wars for Viet Nam should be known in the words of those who fought them; that the story of the Vietnamese boat people is best learned through the literary work of those on the boats; and that the nation the wars were fought for, which the people carried with them overseas, is the real story and is best read in the words of those Vietnamese who are good at writing. Vietnamese writers are of general interest for what they have to say from Viet Nam about our common world. Their wars touched generations around the planet because they were fighting out the conflicts of national independence and personal freedom that touch us all. Their emigration was just the most eloquent of what has become a contemporary state of being. Their assimilation to the USA, Australia, and France and their adaptation at home to globalization are the stuff of everyone’s daily life.
