Arts & Education/ 創作 & 教育 Top Page

Not exactly art or education, Chibi was originally the reason I decided to create a web site. Chibi would probably have liked AJ, a radical, non-violent activist cat from NY.

Some poems by Paul Arenson from the 1970s to the present
Including CEASEFIRE, about Vietname and HIDDEN WIRES, about gender roles.

3 books for teachers on social issues
By Jane Nakagawa (and friends on one title)

In the beginning...

Chibi was the original reason for this site. She is in cat heaven with A.J.

東京プログレッシヴは 1997年の発足以来、様々に形を変えて現在に至っています。当初は英語を学ぶ日本人学生の一助として、また批判的読解力を育てるためのオルタナティヴ・メディアとしてスタートした後、民主的メディアを推進する情報源として発展してきました。｢民主的メディア｣とは時に分かりにくい言葉ですが、企業メディアによって非公開とされたり歪曲された情報を解放するメディア、という意を含みます。それはまた、東京プログレッシヴも含めたすべてのメディアは、そのメディア独自の視点を持ち、｢メディアの客観性｣という言説は神話にしかすぎない、ということの理解でもあります。

TokyoProgressive has been in existence in various incarnations since 1997. Originally conceived as a tool to help Japanese students of English and alternative media develop critical literacy skills, it has developed into a resource for promoting a democratic media. This is a sometimes ambiguous term that includes liberating information withheld or distorted by the corporate media. It also means understanding that all media, including TokyoProgressive, is biased and that objectivity is a myth.
