Tetsuko Kuroyanagi has been a hostess of a TV talk show, Tetsuko's Room, for more than thirty years. In order to provide a demonstrative description of Tetsuko's skills as a talk show hostess, a comparison is made between this program and another one broadcast by NHK, Hello from Studio Park. Three shows from the two programs are compared, each pair of shows having the same guest. For each of the three paired shows, the portions dealing with the "same" topic are chosen and transcribed for analysis. When a singer and actor, Tetsuya Takeda, was a guest, he replayed interchanges which mark some moments of his career as an entertainer. While at Hello, Tetsuya replayed these interchanges without prompting from the hosts, however, at Room, Tetsuko made focused attempts to solicit a specific exchange that included the words of encouragement of Tetsuya's wife who worked to keep their spirits high while they were struggling economically. Tetsuko's personal knowledge and memory about the guest seem critical to eliciting this exchange. When a speed skater and Olympic bronze medalist, Tomomi Okazaki, was a guest, the size of her thighs was one of major topics. In both shows, the hostess touched her thigh. While the hostess of Hello just rubbed, Tetsuko slapped Okazaki's thigh twentyeight times. She made slapping sounds that could be heard by the audience so as to show how "good" Okazaki's muscles are. Tetsuko even slapped her own thighs to make a contrast. Although Tetsuko's superior skills usually work well and make the talk interesting and enjoyable, she remained silent while Mami Yamase changed styles of the clothes of her designing from skirts to pants. Pauses of few seconds long were heard while watching Yamase change styles. Because the audience was distracted during the time Yamase was changing styles, the length of the pauses was not as noticeable as it might have been otherwise. Still, the fact that Tetsuko did not talk for that long stood out. Comparisons of the same guests talking about the "same" topics have provided several important findings. First, Tetsuko Kuroyanagi has superior skills of eliciting interesting stories from her guests. Second, however, even Tetsuko is sometimes forced to remain silent while the talk show guest engages in preparatory activities. Third, therefore, "chattiness" should not be attributed to a person but should be considered an attribute of the situation.

The aim of this paper is to examine history and current issues of science communication, particularly focusing on discussions related to domestic and international science and technology policies. In this paper, I reviewed historical contexts of science communication in Japan, UK, and so on. I examined current discussions of science communication and science and technology policy, focusing on an emergent concept “Responsible Research and Innovation(RRI)” . RRI is one of the hot keywords in European science policy Horizon 2020, and it is expected that RRI will be introduce and implemented into Japanese science and technology policies hereafter. In addition, this paper will point out that there are structural issues of evaluation system concerning science communication activities in Japanese science policies. Author anticipated that these discussions can contribute to sustainable communication activities between experts and the society.

The author, a nearly 30-year long educator having taught at various universities and research institutions, discusses problems of classroom attendance and students' psychology of class taking, mainly from a specific type of students' mind-set, which is here called as "GPA perspective," in this Part 1 of a series of intended research reports. GPA perspective is a concept used by sociologist H. S. Becker and collaborates in 1968, a concept that refers to an attitude of students who are only interested in grade-getting and nothing other. Since a GPA perspective-oriented student is motivated to nothing but to acquire the best possible GPA while paying the least possible effort, some untraditional behaviors in classrooms are frequently enacted and observed. The author, a specialist of symbolic interactionism sociology, describes many concrete instances of GPA perspective-oriented students' not-before-seen behaviors in classroom, their attitudes and opinions explicit and implied in classroom interactions, particularly focusing on one but many faceted aspect of educational process: classroom attendance.

日本のあるロボット研究室(ラボ)における、約1ヶ月にわたるデモンストレーション開発プロジェクトをフィールド調査した。アメリカの大学での調査や日本人留学生のインタヴュー調査も利用しながら、意思決定と教育コミュニケーションについて分析を行った。組織の意思決定と言えば上意下達でトップダウンに行われていると思われがちだが、実態はその場その場で交渉されていくものであった。リーダーに従う立場である大学院生は、実現可能な提案をするなどして意思決定に大きな貢献をしていた。リーダーは開発が順調に進んでいるか、提案が時間的・技術的に可能であるかといった評価や査定を提供していた。日米での差異は、ラボの組織や院生の給与の仕組みなどをのぞいてそれほど大きなものではないようだった。映像と音声記録を収集してのミクロエスノグラフィの威力を確認するとともに、調査分析者の側における専門知識や母語話者能力の欠如といった方法上の問題が指摘された。

Benedict Anderson’s Imagined Communities (1983)has been considered to be one of the mostsignificant pieces of literature on the relationship between nationalism and media. However, it has been often overlooked that Anderson’s concept of nationalism is heavily influenced by Marshall McLuhan’s arguments on printing media in The Gutenberg Galaxy(1962).The aim of this article is to reframe the relationship between nationalism and media by revisiting McLuhan’s arguments on industrial society.Firstly, The Gutenberg Galaxy is reframed as an outstanding theoretical work on nationalism. It sheds light on the history of mechanical reproduction, which catalyzed the formation and spread of nationalism.Secondly, The Mechanical Bride(1952), which underlies The Gutenberg Galaxy as well as The Understanding Media(1964), is reconsidered as an outstanding attempt to scrutinize contemporary society in the context of the huge transformation resulting from the progress of industrial technologies.In conclusion, McLuhan’s work, focusing on nationalism in the context of the industrial society, provides us with an effective viewpoint from which to rethink the problem of nationalism even in the context of contemporary globalization and the advent of information society.
