SUMMARY:Vortrag: "Fantastical spaces in contemporary Japanese literature: From Murakami Haruki to Ogawa Yōko" (Mina Qiao)
DESCRIPTION:Fantastical spaces\, they are ubiquitous in contemporary Japanese literature\, hidden\, secluded\, guarded\, and with secretive and limited access\, altogether reinforcing then ethereal and labyrinthe quality. A fantastical space resembles and yet varies from the everyday world we experience. This setting resonates with fantasy being the unseen culture\, but also emphasizes on the boundaries and hence a contrast of two opposing dimensions. Once accessed\, the fantastical space both resembles and deviates from the experience of the everyday world. They can be a den in Kanai Mieko’s “Usagi” (1972; “Rabbits”)\, a cave in Murakami Haruki’s Kishi danchō goroshi (2017; Killing Commendatore)\, an island in Ogawa in Yōko’s Hoteru airisu (1996; Hotel Iris)\, or a made-up town never exists in any map in Murakami Ryū’s Koin rokka beibizu (1980; Coin Locker Babies). \nIn each case\, the place is insular and isolated. In many works\, the fantastical space appears to be a distorted mirror image of the reality\, because fantasy is the characters’ unfiltered perception of a reality unmediated by rationality and consciousness. Plots in the fantastic mode develop as the characters cross the boundaries over to the other world\, seeking answers found in between fantasy and reality\, the unconscious and the conscious\, the spiritual and the physical\, the dead and the living\, and so on. \nFantastical spaces are landscapes of dreams and memories\, manifestations of bodily sensations and mental states\, and paths into the deepest layers of self. They may act as manifestations of characters’ psychological states as well as extensions of their embodied perceptions. \nMina Qiao currently teaches Japanese literature at Tokyo University of Foreign Studies. She is the author of Women in the Maze: Space and Gender in Kirino Natsuo’s Writings (2019). Her research interests include space\, body\, contemporary women’s writings\, and popular culture. \nZoom-Meeting beitreten\nhttps://lmu-munich.zoom.us/j/95146977115?pwd=aXVwS3ZtTUs5ZTJ2VnFyY205VkNIdz09 \nMeeting-ID: 951 4697 7115\nKenncode: 09695

SUMMARY:Vortrag: "COVID\, Migration\, and Nationalism in Japan" (Dr. Nana Oishi)
DESCRIPTION:While nationalism and anti-immigrant sentiments have grown in many industrialized countries\, Japan’s situation has been quite different. Although nationalism has been on the rise and the concerns for ethnic and cultural diversity still exist\, the Japanese public has become much more open to migration than in the past. The number of migrants hit a record high in 2019\, and while the total migration level slightly declined in 2020 due to border restrictions\, skilled migration increased even under COVID. Due to the acceleration of population aging and labor shortage\, it has become evident that the long-term sustainability of the Japanese economy\, population\, social security system\, and even traditional cultural heritage and legacies depends on migrants. This awareness has been particularly acute in regional areas. This presentation consists of three parts. First\, it will briefly discuss the impacts of COVID on migration and the governments’ responses in Japan. Second\, it will examine the linkage between nationalism and migration by analyzing the major shifts in public discourses on migration. Lastly\, it will discuss migration in post-COVID Japan based on the findings of my quantitative research (Oishi and Igarashi\, forthcoming)\, showing the positive relationship between nationalism and pro-migrant sentiments in the depopulated areas. \nDr. Nana Oishi is Associate Professor in Japanese Studies at the University of Melbourne. She received a PhD in Sociology from Harvard University as a Fulbright Scholar. Prior to her current position\, she worked as Policy Analyst at the UN agency (ILO) in Geneva and taught at Sophia University in Tokyo as Professor of Sociology. Her research fields are migration\, social integration\, care work\, D&I (diversity and inclusion)\, and gender in Japan and Australia. Dr Oishi served multiple national advisory boards on migration in Japan and assisted the UN’s migration-related work in various capacities. She is the recipient of several awards\, including ISS-OUP Prize for Modern Japanese Studies (awarded by Oxford University Press and University of Tokyo) in 2019. She currently serves as a board member of the International Sociological Association\, RC32\, as well as the Japan Association for Migration Policy Studies. Her recent publications include: “Structural Economic Nationalism and Migration in Japan” with A. Igarashi (forthcoming) in A. Pickel ed. Handbook of Economic Nationalism (Edward Elgar); “Country Risks and Brain Drain: the Emigration Potential of Japanese Skilled Workers\,” with Y. Horiuchi (2021)\, Social Science Japan Journal; “Skilled or Unskilled?: The Reconfiguration of Migration Policies in Japan” (2021)\, Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies; „North-North Care Migration: the Low Wage Labour of Japanese Female Workers in Australia and Their Challenges“ with A. Ono (2020) in M. Matsuo & C. Mori (eds)\, Relational Studies on Global Crises (Iwanami Shoten); ‘Silent Exits: Post-3.11 Japanese Skilled Migration to Australia’ with I. Hamada (2019) Social Science Japan Journal. \nThe lecture will be conducted via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Vortrag: "When Local Meets Global: The Changing Face of Old-Age Care in Japan" (Reiko Ogawa)
DESCRIPTION:Research has revealed that migrants are incorporated differently in the care sector according to the intersection of migration-care regime nexus. Japan’s care sector went through significant structural change in 2000 due to the Long-Term Care Insurance (LTCI). The care market has expanded rapidly\, resulting in a chronic shortage of care workers and migrant workers started to work in the old age care sector in the past ten years. The first wave of migrants came under the bilateral Economic Partnership Agreement between Southeast Asian Countries and Japan\, followed by consecutive waves of deregulation of migration regimes. The presentation looks into the structural transformation of the care sector and the negotiation by the migrant care workers. The care facilities were initially worried and reluctant to employ migrants\, but the acceptance turned out to be relatively smooth without any major conflicts or incidents. Through interviews with both care facilities and migrants\, this presentation argues that this counterintuitive outcome results from the interaction between policy framework and constant dialogue within the space of care where migrants are transforming the rigid Japanese organizational rules. As the dependence towards migrant care workers increases\, to ensure the well-being of migrants becomes the key factor for them to settle. \nReiko Ogawa is a professor in the Graduate School of Social Sciences at Chiba University. Her research interest is on migration\, gender and civil society. She serves as a board member for the Japan Association for Migration Policy Studies\, chairperson of Gender Equality Committee of Chiba City\, Refugee Counselor of Ministry of Justice\, and representative of Chiba Studies on Migration and Refugees. Some of her on-going projects includes creating a checklist of supervising organizations dispatching migrants to care facilities in Tokyo\, developing training materials for Japanese care workers who work with foreign staff\, and a research project on specified skilled workers (SSW) of the Ministry of Health\, Labour\, and Welfare. Some of her publication includes: “When Local Meets Global: The Changing Face of Old-Age Care in Japan” in Eds. Horn\, V. et al.\, The Global Old Age Care Industry (Palgrave Macmillan\, 2021)\, “Making of Migrant Care Workers in East Asia” in Eds. Jeon\, Y. et al.\, Routledge Handbook on Gender in East Asia (Routledge\, 2020)\, “Use and Abuse of Trafficking Discourse in Japan”\, Journal of Population and Social Studies\, 2020\, 28:106–125 and a co-edited book entitled Gender\, Care and Migration in East Asia (Palgrave Macmillan\, 2018). \nThe lecture will be conducted via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Vortrag: „'Equal Study' and Sign Bilingualism in Japan“ (Jennifer M. McGuire)
DESCRIPTION:The recent Olympics and Paralympics have thrust the issue of „accessibility“ in Japan into the spotlight. Accessibility features promote inclusion\, but they do not guarantee it. Accessibility is more than ensuring the “ability” of people with disabilities to access products\, services\, structures\, and systems. This presentation focuses on the effect of various inclusion efforts on the educational experiences of deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) students in Japan. It examines three types of educational environments: general education\, co-enrollment\, and bilingual-bicultural (i.e. Japanese Sign Language/Japanese-Deaf/Hearing). Much has been written about the uniqueness of the Japanese education system. However\, trends and developments in deaf education are transnational with strong parallels between programs. Therefore\, in addition to drawing upon the results of long-term fieldwork with DHH students in Japan\, this presentation also analyzes several cases of „inclusion“ from educational programs around the world. Based on this cross-cultural analysis\, this presentation argues that sign language environments go beyond cosmetic accessibility into true inclusivity\, creating opportunities for peer interactions\, meaningful communication\, and belonging. Finally\, this talk suggests that lessons from deaf education may prove useful in promoting diversity and inclusion for other marginalised students in Japan. \nJennifer M. McGuire is an Assistant Professor in the Institute for the Liberal Arts at Doshisha University in Kyoto. She has been conducting multi-sited ethnographic research with deaf communities in Japan since 2012. Her research and teaching interests include deaf education\, sign language acquisition\, disability media studies\, and the academic and social inclusion of children/youth with disabilities. Currently\, she is working on a project that examines sign language interpreter training in Japan. \nZoom-Meeting beitreten\nhttps://lmu-munich.zoom.us/j/93788371359?pwd=YThMWmdEdXVIN3h2QlFlS3Eydkdwdz09 \nMeeting-ID: 937 8837 1359\nKenncode: 314006

SUMMARY:Vortrag: „Immigrant Incorporation in East Asian Democracies (Book Talk)“ (Erin Aeran Chung)
DESCRIPTION:Despite labor shortages and rapidly shrinking working-age populations\, Japan\, South Korea\, and Taiwan shared restrictive immigration policies and exclusionary practices toward immigrants until the early 2000s. While Taiwan maintained this trajectory\, Japan took incremental steps to expand immigrant services at the grassroots level\, and South Korea enacted sweeping immigration reforms. How did convergent policies generate these divergent patterns of immigrant incorporation? Departing from the dominant scholarship that focuses on culture\, domestic political elites\, and international norms\, this book highlights the important role of civil society actors—including immigrants themselves—in giving voice to immigrant interests\, mobilizing immigrant actors\, and shaping public debate and policy on immigration. I argue that civil society actors drew on existing ideas\, networks\, and strategies previously applied to incorporate historically marginalized groups\, or what I call civic legacies\, to confront the challenges of immigrant incorporation. Rather than determining the paths available to later generations\, civic legacies form the opportunities and constraints that demarcate the rules of the game for migrant claims making\, thus framing the direction of immigrant incorporation\, the level of penetration in society\, and the potential for structural reform. Based on more than 150 in-depth interviews and focus groups with over 20 immigrant communities\, Immigrant Incorporation in East Asian Democracies examines how the civic legacies of past struggles for democracy shape current movements for immigrant rights and recognition. \nErin Aeran Chung is the Charles D. Miller Associate Professor of East Asian Politics in the Department of Political Science at Johns Hopkins University. She previously served as director of the East Asian Studies Program and co-director of the Racism\, Immigration\, and Citizenship (RIC) Program at Hopkins. She is the author of Immigration and Citizenship in Japan (Cambridge\, 2010\, 2014; Japanese translation\, Akashi Shoten\, 2012) and Immigrant Incorporation in East Asian Democracies (Cambridge\, 2020)\, which received the 2021 ASA Asia and Asian America Section Transnational Asia Book Award and Honorable Mention for the 2021 APSA Migration & Citizenship Section Book Award. She is currently serving as co-president of the APSA Migration and Citizenship Section (2021-2023)\, co-editor of the Politics and Society of East Asia Elements series at Cambridge University Press\, and P.I. for the Initiative on “Building Anti-Racist Coalitions and Intersectional Knowledge in the Face of Anti-Asian Violence” at Hopkins. Her research has been supported by grants from the Academy of Korean Studies\, the Japan Foundation\, the Japan Foundation Center for Global Partnership\, the Social Science Research Council\, and the American Council of Learned Societies. She is currently completing a book manuscript on Citizenship\, Social Capital\, and Racial Politics in the Korean Diaspora. \nThe lecture will be conducted via Zoom.
