SUMMARY:Vortrag von Prof. Dr. Gabriele Vogt: "Reform Initiatives in Health-Care Migration to Japan: A Discussion of Their Political Dimensions"
DESCRIPTION:For several decades now\, the health care sector in Japan has been experiencing a severe labor shortage. The gap between a growing demand for health care services and a shrinking pool of domestic workers continues to widen. The introduction of a migration avenue for international health workers to Japan in the mid-2000s is generally understood to be the result of the ever-mounting strains\, which the rapid population aging put on the labor market. As this was the first explicit opening of the domestic labor market to a workforce that so far has not been categorized as “skilled workers”\, it is fair to conclude that this reform constitutes a paradigm shift in Japan’s migration policy. \nIn this presentation\, I will sketch out Japan’s demographic development\, and its implications on the health care sector in more depth. I will focus on health workers in elderly care\, as they are a group that is particularly high in demand on the Japanese labor market. Subsequently\, I will introduce the original migration avenue for health workers\, which opened in 2008\, and\, despite the several revisions it has seen ever since\, fails to draw a sufficient number of international health workers to Japan. Consequently\, over the past years\, migration flows of health workers to Japan have diversified. These more recent migration avenues include initiatives by business actors\, such as utilizing the system of intracompany transfer and also educational institutions recruiting international students. In addition\, policy reforms\, such as opening the international trainee system to health workers\, and the introduction of a specified skilled workers program contributed to the diversification of migration avenues to Japan. I will conclude with a contextualization and evaluation of the various migration avenues that are currently available to international health workers aiming for Japan as their destination. \nGabriele Vogt holds the Chair in Japanese Studies and serves as Director to the Department of Asian Studies at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) Munich. Her research covers the areas of political economy in the context of demographic transition and international labor migration\, as well as local politics and social movements. She has published widely on Japan’s demographic change ever since serving as a co-editor (with Florian Coulmas\, Harald Conrad and Annette Schad-Seifert) to the volume The Demographic Challenge: A Handbook about Japan (Brill\, 2008). She is the author of Population Aging and International Health-Caregiver Migration to Japan (Springer\, 2018). Some recent journal publications include: “The Aging Democracy: Demographic Effects\, Political Legitimacy\, and the Quest for Generational Pluralism.” In: Perspectives on Politics (2023\, with Yosuke Buchmeier)\, https://doi.org/10.1017/S1537592723000981 (open access); “Sanitizing the national body: COVID-19 and the revival of Japan’s ‘Closed Country’ strategy.” In: Asian and Pacific Migration Journal (2022\, with Sian Qin)\, https://doi.org/10.1177/01171968221125482 (open access); “Robotic devices and ICT in long-term care in Japan: Their potential and limitations from a workplace perspective.” In: Contemporary Japan (2021\, with Anne-Sophie L.

SUMMARY:Vortrag von Dr. Christoph Schimkowsky: "Managing passenger conduct on Tokyo’s urban railway network: transport provider 'vigilance' or customer service?"
DESCRIPTION:Public transport providers often attempt to prevent passenger behaviours they consider dangerous\, deviant\, or otherwise undesirable through the use of media technologies. For example\, railway companies worldwide employ posters and notices to convey desirables codes of passenger behaviour\, thus orienting and directing mobility practices. This talk introduces the case of ‘manner poster’ campaigns by Tokyo railway providers: colourful and comic posters targeting a wide range of behaviours which are believed to interfere with the transit system’s safe and smooth operation\, or cause nuisance to other passengers\, and which form a near-ubiquitous presence in urban public transport environments in the Japanese capital. The talk examines the logics and considerations that shape such efforts to manage passenger conduct\, situating them between transport provider/passenger vigilance and ideals of customer service. It draws on interviews with transport and design professionals involved in the production of manner poster campaigns\, industry publications and a visual analysis of posters. \nChristoph Schimkowsky is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Institute of Social Science\, University of Tokyo. He was awarded a PhD in Sociological Studies from the University of Sheffield (UK) in 2022 for his work on poster campaigns employed by Japanese railway companies to inscribe behavioral expectations into public transport environments. Building on this\, his current postdoctoral project explores the development of codes of transit etiquette on Tokyo’s urban railway network since 1945. Christoph holds degrees from SOAS (University of London)\, Waseda University (Tokyo)\, and the University of Göttingen. His PhD thesis was awarded the Charles Alfred Fisher Prize by the University of Sheffield’s School of East Asian Studies. Christoph’s research has appeared in Mobilities\, Japanese Studies\, and Visual Communication\, among others. \nOrt: Japan-Zentrum der LMU\, Seminargebäude am Englischen Garten\, Oettingenstr. 67\, 80538 München\, Raum 151. \nVeranstaltungsart: in Präsenz \nDer Vortrag findet in Kooperation mit dem Sonderforschungsbereich (SFB) 1369 ‚Vigilanzkulturen‘ statt. \n \n

SUMMARY:Vortrag von Prof. (i.R.) Dr. Ilse Lenz: "Die neue Frauenbewegung in Japan und Deutschland im Vergleich"
DESCRIPTION:Wie haben die neuen Frauenbewegungen in Japan und in Deutschland das Denken über Geschlecht und die Gesellschaft verändert? Oft wird Feminismus weiterhin eurozentrisch mit dem „Westen“ gleichgesetzt und Ostasien weithin ausgeblendet. Gerade der Vergleich mit Japan ermöglicht es jedoch\, verschiedene feministische Wege in den kapitalistischen Zentren wahrzunehmen. \nIn Japan wie Deutschland forderten die Frauenbewegungen radikale Selbstbestimmung im Denken und Handeln\, eine grundlegende Veränderung der neopatriarchalen Strukturen und Gleichheit in intersektionaler Sicht. Dennoch unterschieden sie sich stark. Ich will diese Unterschiede und Gemeinsamkeiten herausarbeiten\, indem ich auf ihr Denken und ihre Praktiken zu den folgenden Fragen eingehe: Geschlecht\, Intersektionalität\, Lesbianismus und die postkoloniale transnationale Vernetzung mit ostasiatischen Frauenbewegungen in Japan. Ich beende den Vortrag damit\, die Veränderungen und die neuen Herausforderungen an den Feminismus heute zu umreißen. \nProf. (i.R.) Dr. Ilse Lenz studierte in den USA\, Japan und an der LMU München; sie promovierte an der FU Berlin zur Frauenarbeit in der japanischen Industrialisierung aus entwicklungssoziologischer Sicht. In ihrer Habilitation in Münster 1989 untersuchte sie das Geschlechterverhältnis auf dem japanischen Arbeitsmarkt und die Einflüsse der Computerisierung (beide Forschungen auf Grundlage von Expert:innen-Interviews und Archivarbeit auf Japanisch). Von 1992 bis 2014 war sie Professorin für Soziologie (Frauen- und Sozialstrukturforschung) an der Sozialwissenschaftlichen Fakultät und kooptiert an der Fakultät für Ostasienwissenschaften der Ruhr-Universität Bochum. \nDie Kerninhalte des Vortrags spiegeln sich insbesondere in diesen Bücher wider: \nMichiko Mae und Ilse Lenz (2023): Frauenbewegung in Japan. Quellen und Analysen. Wiesbaden: VS Verlag für Sozialwissenschaften. \nIlse Lenz (Hrsg.\, 2008): Die Neue Frauenbewegung in Deutschland. Abschied vom kleinen Unterschied. Eine Quellensammlung. Wiesbaden: VS Verlag für Sozialwissenschaften. \nDer Vortrag findet in Kooperation mit dem Lehrstuhl Prof. Dr. Paula-Irene Villa Braslavsky\, LMU München\, Soziologie in Präsenz statt. \nOrt: LMU Hauptgebäude\, Geschwister-Scholl-Platz 1\, 80539 München\, Raum A125

SUMMARY:Vortrag von Prof. Dr. Helene Tenzer: "From Professional Aspirations to Identity Confirmation and Transformation: The Case of Japanese Career Women Working for Foreign Subsidiaries in Japan"
DESCRIPTION:This study investigates what attracts career-oriented women to foreign subsidiaries and how they experience this work context. Based on 125 interviews with career-oriented women in Japan\, we find that their frequent choice of foreign employers is not only motivated by professional aspirations but also by identity-related aspirations. Japanese women who embraced an internationalist orientation experience a confirmation of their identity by working for foreign subsidiaries; by contrast\, those who still felt bound by traditional role expectations\, undergo a liberating identity transformation. \nBased on the perceptions of these particular employees\, we develop recommendations for gender diversity management in foreign subsidiaries. We further argue that women\, who are disadvantaged in the local employment context\, often desire that foreign subsidiaries implement standardized home country human resource management practices\, instead of adopting local practices. By focusing on the recruitment of highly qualified women\, foreign subsidiaries may turn their liability of foreignness into a competitive advantage. \nSince April 2022\, Helene Tenzer has been a Professor of International Management at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. From 2014 to 2022\, she served as an Academic Councillor at the Chair of International Business at Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen. In 2016\, she earned her Habilitation in Business Administration\, specializing in International Management. Between 2009 and 2014\, she worked as a research associate at the Chair of International Business at Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen. She completed her Ph.D. (Dr. phil.) in Intercultural Communication at the University of Passau in 2009. Helene Tenzer holds a Diplom in Languages\, Economics\, and Cultural Studies from the University of Passau\, which she obtained in 2006. \nThe event will take place in hybrid form \nLocation: LMU Japan-Center\, Oettingenstraße 67\, Room L155 \nParticipation in the lecture on the Zoom meeting (no registration required): \nhttps://lmu-munich.zoom-x.de/j/65637273260?pwd=RlQJ6Ltfz76RVIOVVUGb3yqlmY4w3Q.1 \nMeeting-ID: 656 3727 3260 \nKenncode: 914891

SUMMARY:Vortrag von Alberto Zizza\, MA: "Haga Yaichi and the kokuminseiron: a study on how Japan was imagined in the Meiji period"
DESCRIPTION:Haga Yaichi (1867-1927) was a scholar of literature and kokugaku [National learning]\, who\nsignificantly contributed to creating the national literary canon in the Meiji period. In 1907\, at a\ntime of national glorification that followed the triumph over Russia\, but also one of social\nunrest epitomised by the 1905 Hibiya riots\, he published Kokuminsei jūron [Ten essays on\nnational character]\, where he described the peculiar Japanese character. Printed by one of\nthe largest publishing houses of the period\, it became a best-seller reprinted tens of times up\nto 1945. In 1910 it was labelled an essential work to understand the national character\ntogether with the renowned Bushido: The Soul of Japan (1900)\, and still thirty years later\, as\nthe text that most thoroughly described the Japanese character. Rediscovered in the 1970s\, in\na 1978 reprint we are told that all the essential elements of nihonjinron can already be found\nKokuminsei jūron. \nWhile some scholars have recently examined specific sections and claimed that their content\nwas often taken up over the next decades\, not much research has been done on this side of\nHaga’s work and what is there paints Kokuminsei jūron under very different lights: it was\nassociated with the 1910s national morality movement and its content labelled as the\nfoundation of the infamous Kokutai no hongi; on the other hand\, it has been considered a\npredecessor of the 1970s nihonjinron genre and even a work whose content could be\nincluded in today’s Japanese tourist pamphlets. \nThen the first question that my research wants to answer is: what then is Kokuminsei jūron?\nThat is\, is it just Meiji propaganda? Is it nihonjinron? Neither? What makes it stand out against\nother Meiji constructions of the national character? This talk presents the results of my\npreliminary research on Haga’s entire text\, background and context\, as I tried to answer the\nfirst question. \nThe research intends to hopefully enlarge our view on how pre-war Japanese self-imagining is\nthought of\, beyond much-discussed ideas like imperial loyalism\, family and agricultural state.\nConsequently\, it asks if the 70s and even today’s representation of the Japanese weren’t\nalready in the making back then. \nAlberto Zizza holds a BA and a MA in Asian Languages and Civilizations from La Sapienza\nUniversity\, Rome. \nDer Vortrag findet in Präsenz statt. Ort: Japan-Zentrum der LMU\, Seminargebäude am Englischen Garten\, Oettingenstr. 67\, 80538 München\, Raum 151.

SUMMARY:Vortrag von Prof. Dr. Raymond Yamamoto: "Japan’s Foreign Assistance: From Economic Cooperation to Military Capacity Building"
DESCRIPTION:After the Second World War\, Japan adopted Article 9 in its constitution\, which renounced using force in its foreign policy. The use of the military was strictly limited to Japan’s self-defence. Consequently\, the country’s foreign assistance became the most important foreign policy tool for restoring relations with neighbouring countries in Asia\, on which Japan had inflicted enormous suffering and damage during the war. \nMost recently\, foreign assistance has become an increasingly significant instrument contributing to Japan’s national security\, reflecting fundamental changes in the political system and Japan’s security environment. This presentation will provide a general overview of Japan’s foreign assistance and discuss its recent securitisation from different theoretical perspectives. \nSince 2020\, Raymond Yamamoto has been an Associate Professor at the Department of Global Studies\, Aarhus University. He is also an Adjunct Fellow at Pacific Forum\, a leading think tank focused on Asia\, located in Hawaii. Before his current role\, Raymond served as an Assistant Professor at Aarhus University starting in 2017. Prior to that\, he worked as a Special Appointed Researcher at Osaka University from 2015 to 2016 and as an Adjunct Lecturer at Osaka University from 2016 to 2017. Raymond holds a Ph.D. in Japan Studies from Hamburg University\, obtained in 2015. \nThe event will take place in hybrid form \nLocation: LMU Japan-Center\, Oettingenstraße 67\, Room 123 \nParticipation in the lecture on the Zoom meeting (no registration required): \nhttps://lmu-munich.zoom-x.de/j/68328519027?pwd=t30TLgykjsPWMeq5J5Vm1U7aJR43hk.1 \nMeeting-ID: 683 2851 9027 \nKenncode: 232590
