Masao MIYOSHI - In Memoriam This past week-end we learned of the passing of our colleague and friend, Masao Miyoshi Ph.D., holder of the Hajime Mori Endowed Chair in Japanese Language and Literature, (UCSD Literature  Department 1986-2004). Many of us knew Masao and we are deeply saddened by the loss of an important person in the history of the  Department of Literature. Masao graduated from the University of Tokyo, majoring in English, and  earned advanced degrees at New York University. He was a very respected and prolific scholar, who authored The Divided Self: A Perspective on  the Literature of the Victorians (1969), Accomplices of Silence: The Modern Japanese Novel (1975), As We Saw Them: The First Japanese Embassy to the United States (1860) (1979), Off Center : Power and Culture Relations Between Japan and the United States (1991), and The University in 'Globalization' : Culture, Economy, and Ecology  (2003), as well as a great number of scholarly articles. He also  edited and co-edited many other books of essays on globalization, post- modernism, and the future of area studies. A number of his books and articles have been translated in several languages. Throughout his long and illustrious career, Masao received invitations to lecture around the world, and to contribute articles to many journals and edited volumes. As holder of the Hajime Mori Endowed Chair in Japanese Language and Literature, he lectured, presented papers and organized panels at major international conferences concerned with Japanese and East Asian cultural affairs. He was one of the  most high profile members of our faculty, and he will be very much  missed. Please join us as we send our heartfelt condolences to Masao's  family and friends.
