Vortrag am 7. Juni 2021, 14 Uhr CET „Migrant Labor in Japan’s Agriculture: New Schemes and Social Inclusion“ (Glenda Roberts, Noriko Fujita)

This study queries newcomer migrant labor in Japan, from the perspectives of various stakeholders: the government, farmers and other employers, and local communities. Migrant labor schemes have existed in Japan under the guise of homeland visitation (Brazilian Japanese workers since 1990) and ‘Technical Interns and Trainees’ (TITP, widely understood as short-term workers in the guise...

Vortrag am 10. Juni 2021, 13 Uhr CET „Municipal Politics of De/Re-population in Japan“ (Ken Hijino)

For decades, many of Japan’s communities have seen exodus of the young in search of education and employment opportunities in the major cities. During 2010-2015, 1,419 (82.5%) municipalities out of 1,719 in Japan experienced population decline. The responses to and impacts of such depopulation, mainly but not exclusively in rural areas, have been widely documented...

Vortrag am 21. Juni 2021, 14 Uhr CET „Labour Crossings: The Making of Cross-border Labour Markets between Japan and Vietnam“ (Aimi Muranaka)

Zoom

This study presents how is a cross-border labour market between Japan and Vietnam is constructed by Japanese private intermediary actors. The Japanese government has been implementing de-facto migration policies and still denies the introduction official migratory measures despite the accelerated drop in the working population. Positioned in the literature of the international migration industry, this...

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). Although this connection between the global phenomenon of transnational migration and the local socio-spatial impacts on the cities appears evident,...

Vortrag am 05. Juli 2021, 14 Uhr CET „Migration and Integration of Chinese and Japanese Residents in Germany: The Role of Community Heritage Educational Organisations“ (Zi Wang)

Zoom

Germany is Europe’s largest migrant-receiving destination. Among migrants who hail from more than 100 origin countries across all continents, the Chinese and Japanese groups have some of the longest community-building histories. In addition, they enjoy a high degree of vitality: the Chinese being the fastest-growing non-European migrant group, whereas the Japanese communities command an over-proportionate...

Vortrag am 08. Juli 2021, 13 Uhr CET „Okinawa-Repräsentationen, postkolonial betrachtet: Strategien des ‚Zurück-Schreibens‘“ (Ina Hein)

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)

Zoom

This presentation argues that Okinawan diaspora strategies are different from Japanese diaspora strategies and can be understood as shaped by a history of Japanese colonization. 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...

Vortrag: „Kabukichō – Tōkyō: Anthropogical perspectives“ (Nathaniel M. Smith)

Zoom

As Tokyo readied itself to host the 2020 Summer Olympic Games, its most infamous postwar red-light district, Kabukicho, was surprisingly proactive in welcoming a growing number of international visitors. Boasting new large-scale hotels, capsule hotels created for salarymen now reinvented as low-cost options for tourists, and multi-language menus ubiquitous at local restaurants, enthusiastic efforts by...

In Ihrer Kurzgeschichte Satsujin Shussan  (2014) beleuchtet Murata Sayaka wie Gesellschaft und Staat mit Themen wie Liebe und Sexualität in Verbindung stehen. Sie wählt diese Themen jedoch lediglich als Rahmen, um das Spannungsgefüge zwischen Individuum und Gesellschaft anhand von Sexualität und Fortpflanzung zu thematisieren und zu fokussieren. In diesem Vortrag werde ich die Kurzgeschichte Satsujin Shussan  mit...

Vortrag am 12. Mai 2022, 13 Uhr CET: „Just energy transition on the ground: what can we now learn from the former coal-producing region in Japan?“ (Akiko Hiratsuka-Sasaki)

Zoom

As the world urges energy transition towards decarbonisation, it is expected that the cities and regions dependent on fossil-fuel related industries will be greatly affected by the transition. In particular, coal phase-out gives tremendous impacts on the coal industries, workers, and local communities in the coal-producing regions. How can those regions and communities overcome the...

Vortrag von Juljan Biontino, PhD: „Probleme und Chancen des neuen Geschichtsunterrichts an japanischen Oberschulen seit 2022“

Zoom

Im April 2022 wurde der Geschichtsunterricht an japanischen Oberschulen reformiert. Das Fach „Rekishi sōgō (歷史總合)“ ist ein Versuch, japanische Geschichte (ehemals Nihonshi) und Weltgeschichte (ehemals Sekaishi) in einen einjährigen Pflichtkurs zu integrieren, der sich auf die Moderne und Neuzeit beschränkt. Bisher war der Geschichtsunterricht didaktisch auf das Auswendiglernen von Inhalten ausgelegt, das Fach daher entsprechend...

In shedding new light on the study of scandal in Japan, the talk offers a novel view of scandal as a highly mediatized “ritual” which manifests and manages revealed transgressions throughout Japanese history. The first part of the talk focuses on Japanese scandal...
