Two books I bought today after giving a course at Komaba:
8. プレマック夫妻『心の発生と進化』(鈴木光太郎訳、新曜社)
9. 吉本光宏『イメージの帝国、映画の終り』(以文社)
After the class I met up with a couple of friends to discuss Tout-monde by Edouard Glissant. Shin Kudo wrote a paper (possibly a chapter for his dissertation) on this difficultissimo work and we revised his translation of several passages. Very interesting.
The grand Edou turns 80 this year; my obligation is to finish my translation of Le quatrième siècle by September... A difficult task. Will try anyway...
