風雲児の「ご報告」

税金の支払いで資金がショートし事業が立ち行かなくなるというケースは、少なくないのですが、
この方の場合ケタが違うため、ある種スペクタクルの様相となってます。
まさに風雲児という感じです。

日本の貧困の最底辺 「出会い系」で売春するシングルマザーたち
 現代日本における深刻な問題のひとつである、シングルマザーの経済的困窮。昨年夏に話題を呼んだ、シングルマザーの過酷な生活を描いたテレビドラマ「Woman」(日本テレビ系列、2013年7月から9月に放送)を見て、問題意識を持った人も多いのではないでしょうか。
(中略)
 出会い系サイトには、30代~40代前半のシングルマザーの女性が多数アクセスしているといいます。著者はこの実態を探るべく、自ら出会い系サイトにアクセスし、約20人の「売春するシングルマザーたち」を探し当て、取材を重ねていきます。
 浮かび上がるのは、日本の貧困の最底辺と言える、哀しい実態でした。

スキルのない女性が就労可能な仕事は時給900円未満しかないのが現実。

 政府が世界文化遺産登録を目指す「富岡製糸場と絹産業遺産群」(群馬県)について、国連教育・科学・文化機関(ユネスコ)の諮問機関「国際記念物遺跡会議(イコモス)」が登録をユネスコに勧告した。
(中略)
 遺産群は、明治政府が設立した初の官営器械製糸場である富岡製糸場(富岡市)を中心に、近代養蚕農家の原型とされる「田島弥平旧宅」(伊勢崎市)、養蚕教育を行った「高山社たかやましゃ跡」(藤岡市)、自然の冷風で繭を低温貯蔵した「荒船風穴(あらふねふうけつ)」(下仁田町)の4施設で構成される。フランスの工業技術を導入し、独自に発展させた養蚕技術と組み合わせて高品質な生糸の大量生産を実現。日本の生糸輸出を1930年代に世界市場の約80%を占めるまでに育て、世界で絹の大衆化に貢献した価値を、推薦書で訴えた。
http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/culture/20140426-OYT1T50005.html

 勧告には(1)登録(2)追加情報の提出を求める「情報照会」(3)登録延期(4)不登録-の4種類がある。イコモスが登録を勧告すれば通常、世界遺産委員会でそのまま決定される。国内の世界文化遺産は「姫路城」(兵庫県)や「原爆ドーム」(広島県)など13件。
国内候補の一覧である「暫定リスト」には、富岡製糸場や来年の登録を目指す「明治日本の産業革命遺産」(福岡県など8県)を含め12件が記載されている。

富士山は当初、世界自然遺産として登録を目指したが、ゴミの不法投棄などによる環境悪化や開発により本来の自然が保たれていないなどの理由で、文化遺産登録を目指す方針に転換した。対象となった「構成資産」は山頂の信仰遺跡群や富士五湖などを含む25件。正式名称は「富士山―信仰の対象と芸術の源泉」と決まった。

<富士山を世界遺産登録 nippon.com より一部引用>
http://www.nippon.com/ja/features/h00031/

自然物である富士山とはまた違って、富岡製糸場には地味ながら確たる歴史的・文化的事象に関わる登録申請の正当性がある。
労働者の権利が保証されるのは戦後であるから「女工哀史はなかった」といっても、そうした告発例が見当たらないだけで、当時の惨憺たる状況は全国どこでも大差ないと考えられる。だからこそ安くて高品質の絹糸が輸出できたのだ。
したがって世界文化遺産に登録が決まったとしても浮かれて騒ぐような話ではない。

朝鮮中央通信(KCNA)は25日、亡命を求めて北朝鮮に入国した米国人男性を同国当局が今月10日に拘束したと報じた。
KCNAによると、拘束されたのはミラー・マシュー・トッド氏。トッド氏は観光ビザで入国したが、入国審査中に観光ビザを破り捨て、「亡命を求める」「北朝鮮を避難先に選んでやってきた」などと叫んだという。

Recent reports of crackdowns by Chinese officials on young female fans who write slash have sent waves of alarm throughout international fandom waters.
A new investigative report from Anhui TV claims that Chinese authorities have arrested at least 20 people for the crime of writing male/male fanfic—mostly polite, introverted young women in their 20s.
The increased attention to slash is part of a recently announced Internet “cleanup” by China’s National Office Against Pornographic and Illegal Publications. It’s apparently been tasked with deleting any kind of pornographic online content.
http://www.dailydot.com/geek/in-china-20-people-women-arrested-for-writing-slash/

Fan fiction has been around for as long as people have told stories, at times standing proudly in the mainstream and other times sitting comfortably in the background. According to the Daily Dot, right now, though, approximately 20 people have been arrested in China for taking part in male/male fan fiction. It’s a rather extreme example of the way cathartic fanfic can be twisted to be perceived as threatening.
Male/male fan fiction — most commonly referred to as “slash,” a term coined for the slash between the names Kirk and Spock in the groundbreaking Kirk/Spock fan fiction of the 1970s — is a huge sub-sect of the subculture surrounding fan fiction, and the majority of these fanficcers (readers and writers) are women. Since the rise of the Internet, fanfiction, and certainly slash, has increased to the point where its terms and concepts are steadily breaking into the mainstream.

「二次創作のBL小説を書いた罪」で腐女子が一斉逮捕される
2014年4月23日
中国当局がインターネット上に男性同士の二次創作小説を投稿したとして、少なくとも20人を逮捕し、サイトを閉鎖させたそうです。
逮捕理由はポルノをオンラインに掲載したことによるもので、容疑者の大半が内向的な20代の女性。背景には中国国内のインターネット取り締まり強化が挙げられています。

 不動産バブルの本格崩壊が迫り、世界の投資マネーが中国から脱出を急いでいる。不動産価格の暴落や開発業者の大量淘汰(とうた)が予想されるなか、香港の世界的富豪は中国本土の不動産の処分を済ませ、有力金融機関は「不動産バブルは影の銀行(シャドーバンキング)より深刻」「すでに崩壊が始まった」と警鐘を打ち鳴らす。「中国売り」はもう止まらない。
 香港の実業家、李嘉誠(リ・カシン)氏(85)の動向が投資家に波紋を広げている。不動産をはじめ、電力、通信、小売りなど幅広く事業を展開、アジアで最も成功した企業家とされ、「李超人」と異名を取る。
 米フォーブズ誌の世界の富豪ランキングでも、推定資産342億ドル(約3兆4900億円)で15位、アジア人では最上位だ。
 今月上旬、その李嘉誠氏の次男、李沢楷(リチャード・リー)氏が率いる企業が、北京に保有していた複合施設を72億香港ドル(約950億円)で売却すると報じられた。売却資金は日本やタイ、インドネシアなどの事業に回すという。
 巨額とはいえ、1件の不動産取引が大きく報道された理由は、李氏親子が中国本土で保有する不動産がほぼなくなるためだ。

 埼玉県の和光市から、平和台駅、市ヶ谷駅、永田町駅といった東京の重要都市を通過する東京メトロ有楽町線は、かねてから「有事の際、軍事物資と自衛隊員、国家VIPなどを搬送する軍用道路となる」と噂されてきた。ふしぎなことに有楽町線沿線には軍事拠点が多く集まっている。和光市には朝霞駐屯地、平和台駅には陸自第1師団司令部、そして市ヶ谷駅には防衛省が控え、その先の永田町駅には議員会館がある。
(中略)
有楽町線断面図を見ると、上下三段構造で往路と復路のほか使われていない一段があるため、このような推測が噂に拍車をかけている。

昨今は「新語」と見せかけて、商品販売のキャチフレーズだったりするパターンが多いですね。年末恒例の新語・流行語大賞にもそうした裏事情が反映されているのかもしれません。
芥川賞・直木賞やレコード大賞に限らず、星の数ほど世にある「賞」は数値的評価とは異なる、かなり恣意的な評価で決まるほうがむしろ普通だったりします。
評価対象が数値化出来るか出来ないかという問題もあり、いちがいにそれが悪いとはいえませんが、毀誉褒貶、世評や噂、作為的情報・宣伝などに幻惑されない、しっかりした「眼」は持っていたいですね。
