This list brings together fifty popular pages presented in the March 24, 2018 entry of The Turntable of Civilization.
Its most striking feature is the repeated appearance of related essays in different languages, including Portuguese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Chinese, and others.
Several recurring titles concern the author’s relationship with his father, reflections on Japanese women and their dignity, and commentary involving China and Korea.
Alongside these personal reflections are Japanese entries addressing television editing, NHK Osaka’s reporting on opposition lawmakers visiting the detained Kagoike defendant, and a professor’s warning that China uses democracy to undermine democracy.
The list therefore places autobiographical writing, cultural reflections, and criticism of political reporting side by side.
The multiple language versions also offer different points of entry into the same recurring subjects.
Read together, these titles provide a snapshot of the themes represented among the blog’s popular pages at that time.
