Vortrag am 14. Juni 2021, 14 Uhr CET: „The Question of Immigrant Belonging in an Ethnonationalist Japan“ (Gracia Liu-Farrer)

Japan identifies itself as a nation whose nationhood is founded on the ideology of a common descent (Befu 2001). Japan did not have such a unified ethno-based self-understanding before the modernizing movement known as the Meiji Restoration (1868). Rather, the Tokugawa regime’s “rule by status”—a practice that segregates the ruled by groups—created segmented cultural traditions...

Anarchist theory and practice have global aims of liberation. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, anarchism furnished a comprehensive critique and analysis of state rule, capitalism and imperialism, and it offered alternative models of being in contrast to established regimes of power.

Vortrag am 28. Juni 2021, 14 Uhr CET „Migrant-led Diversification in Japan: Urban Superdiversity in Tokyo 2021?“ (Sakura Yamamura)

Zoom

Contemporary societies are increasingly characterized by the ‘diversification of diversity’ or: superdiversity (Vertovec, 2007), particularly in the urban contexts, where global flows of capital, goods and people are concentrated (Sassen, 2001; Castles et al., 2009).

Zoom

Okinawa ist zwar – mit einer Unterbrechung von 1945-1972 – seit etwa 120 Jahren ein Teil Japans; es wird aber nach wie vor als etwas von Japan abweichendes ‘Anderes‘ imaginiert. Am Diskurs um die ‚Identität‘ Okinawas nehmen Personen von den japanischen Hauptinseln ebenso teil wie solche aus Okinawa. Alle Positionen, die hier eingenommen werden, scheinen...

Vortrag am 12. Juli 2021, 14 Uhr CET „Japanese Colonization and Okinawan Diaspora Strategies: The Worldwide Uchinanchu Festival“ (Jane H. Yamashiro)

Diaspora strategies generally refer to the policies of a homeland government to connect with and manage relationships with its diaspora (i.e., overseas populations). My talk will focus on the Worldwide...
