This article aims to describe the viewing experiences that white-collar women living in Tokyo go through when watching the American TV series "Sex and the City". The ethnographic approach used in cultural studies in the 80's has been adopted to analyze the subject. The audiences extract a realism from the textual world, and adopt a viewing position that aligns with their own life stage. Furthermore, the experience of viewing is linked to their life history and reflexively updates their self-identity. This article presents an alternative approach which discusses TV viewing in terms of diachronic experience of audience.

More and more interviews are conducted through video conferences as analternative to the ever falling number of press conferences in order to preventthe further spread of COVID-19. This paper mainly discusses interviews conductedwith journalism practitioners to analyze how their communication wereaffected by the pandemic in three aspects—namely, their communication withinterviewees, fellow journalists, and readers or the audience. The findings aresummarized as follows. First, reporters are hindered from conducting interviewsin person and depending on materials provided from intervieweesinstead. Second, unable to help each other at press conferences or in person,reporters are taken control of by interviewees. Third, scant coverage ofinfected people and bereaved families was noted, along with coverage that triggerson-line witch hunts targeting the infected, as well as a tendency amongofficials and medical experts disclosure and coverage based on effectiveness incurbing the pandemic, rather than the role of independent journalism.

In media studies, the term, “amateur” has attracted attention as a subject who creates media or as an object created by media. Previous studies on the latter aspect tend to fall into a short-sighted conclusion that “everyone can become an amateur with the advent of new media.” To tackle this problem analytically, we propose a perspective that sees people become amateurs as a result of learning. Based on this perspective, we arrange three research questions to be explored: (1) what is the function of media that enables learners to become amateurs? (2) what kind of amateurs can people become? and (3) what is the scale of people who can become amateurs? Taking up the related research from various disciplines, we insist on exploring these questions considering the relationships between them.

In May of 1997 an atrocious murder occurred in Kobe's Suma district, and the murderer's profile was guessed to be a middle aged man, when in fact in the end a 14 year-old boy was arrested. This study analyzed the published comments made by experts and learned people concerning the profile of the murderer. Comments by experts were taken from four newspapers and analyzed using qualitative methods. Factors which led to the inaccuracy of profiles put forth by experts included insufficient and incorrect information, as well as the constraining influence of images of murderers in the past such as Tsutomu Miyazaki.

<p>This paper focuses on the transition of name and concept in Japanese Animated films, <i>Senga</i> ("line drawing"). This name was used for about half a century from late Meiji era (around 1910) to the World War II. At first, it was generally a neutral word to express animated films, and it became the genre for enlightenment and diverged with <i>Manga</i> ("cartoons") to express an entertainment at the later time. But <i>Senga</i> is not memorized widely today. How and when was <i>Senga</i> born, and why did it disappear?</p><p>Japanese Anime did not develop easily, but get repeatedly into danger of disappearing, because they are suffered from a lack of human and economic resources, in addition, have also been overwhelmed in quality and quantity by Disney and other films from the United States, the producers asked themselves the significance again each time. On the other hand, How the animated films have it been hoped as the media to give the audience what kind of action and effect?</p><p>Therefore, this paper does not depend only on the content analysis. I examine the national newspaper and refer to a magazine, the book historical materials in the period mentioned the above. There are thought to related at the times when a concept of<i> Senga</i> changes. I argue in three questions, First, "when was <i>Senga</i> born?", Second, "How has<i> Senga </i>be consumed?", Third is "how did<i> Senga </i>disappear?". The transition of the concept of<i> Senga</i> is engraved the aspects of dynamism which represents the changes in consciousness and behavior of the creators, the governments, and the audience of those days.</p>

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the relationship between nationalism and mass media from theoretical perspectives. Although many researchers have pointed out mass media contributed to nationalism, their theoretical framework has not been systematically established. For the development of further research, I introduce two concepts of nationalism: ideal nationalism and recognitive nationalism. While ideal nationalism refers to ideology which seeks to realize "national interests," recognitive nationalism means specific form of recognition which makes people regard the world of nations as natural. I argue that these concepts are useful for the analysis of the mass media and nationalism.

On entering the twenty-first century, our media environment has been dramatically changed by the development of digital computer technology and the Internet, the spread of mobile information terminals, and the arrival of new technology such as VR, AR, and IoT. How can we develop critical media theory that has historically focused on mass media: newspapers, radio, and television? How do we identify with the media, when the media is fragmented and pene trates our society, everyday life, and even our bodies? This paper tries to map out some concepts in order to propose( a) critical media theo(r ies) in the Post- Media age. The paper explores four shifts along with the transformation of the media: from the culture industry( Horkheimer and Adorno) to the creative industries, from Fordism (Gramsci) to Post-Fordism (the Regulation School), from the media as messages (McLuhan) to the meta-medium as software (Manovich), and from the disciplinary societies (Foucault) to the societies of control (Deleuze). How the nature of the media, the relationship between human beings and environment, and the power relation in capitalism have been transformed is discussed through examining these shifts. Following the British Cultural Studies’ theoretical tradition, which has been concerned with articulations of different, sometimes contradictory theories, historical conjunctures, and contingencies, the paper proposes a new theorization of power in the digital media through re-considering the central concept of Marxist critical theory: ideology. It also discusses how we can articulate the theory of ideology in the Left’s politics with the latest affective theory.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the mediated musical culture through the keywords of "emotiveness", "ritualizaion" and "symbolization" as the characteristics of media extracted from the symposium 2 on July 4^<th>, 2010. This paper is based on my fieldwork through observations and interviews with middle-aged and elderly male guests of folksong pubs [foku sakaba] and gig venues in Kyushu, Kansai, Aichi and Tokyo areas since 2007. I focus on elder amateur guitarists because baby boomers [dankai sedai] reached to 60 years old, at the retirement age from regular companies in Japan, in 2007 and they started coming back to their interests of their younger days, which singing folksongs to their own guitar accompaniment [hikigatari]. This paper on the folksong community presents the changing role of music bound to the specific generation in the process of generalization. It is revealed that the folksong community in larger city (Fukuoka City) tends to be pastime. In contrast, in the folksong community in smaller cities (Saga and Imari City), folksong are used as a trigger to vitalize the local communities as music is the bond between the parents' and children's generations. In the previous fieldwork on Japanese high school pupils, I found the tripartite layer of categories in popular music-personal music, common music and standard. Therefore, in this paper, how middle-aged male amateur guitarists pass their generation's music to the next generation as well as how they sympathize with each other through folksongs is investigated. It is found that the crossroad of the woof (contemporaneity) and warp (succession) of Japanese folksong creates a new category of popular music such as 'empathy music' or 'entrustment music'. Through this new category, the parents' generation entrusts their passion of youth to children's generation.

This study verifies three cases that have become major social issues (i.e., the falsification of decision documents related to the sale of state-owned land to Moritomo Gakuen, the concealment of consultation documents related to the establishment of a new department of Kake Gakuen, and the concealment of daily reports from the Self-Defense Force units involved in United Nations peacekeeping operations in South Sudan). Furthermore, it clarifies current problems and future challenges related to the system of public records management and information disclosure. The results of this study indicate that six problems can be identified in the system of public records management and information disclosure. The first problem is that the relevant administrative bodies do not necessarily prepare the documents that should be prepared. The second problem is that the file management of such documents is inadvertently or deliberately inappropriate. The third problem is that these bodies can arbitrarily discard documents by setting the retention period to less than one year. The fourth problem is that these bodies can easily hide documents by positioning them as personal notes.The fifth problem is that these bodies can refuse to disclose documents because they are classified as non-disclosure information. The sixth problem is that there is no mechanism for preventing the falsification of documents. To resolve these problems, it is necessary to revise the Public Records Management Act and the Access to Government Information Act by, for example, making the creation, storage, and publication of public documents mandatory and establishing penalties for any violation of this requirement.

During the first two decades in the 21st century, it is clear that for themass media, which played a major social role in the last century, its role hasrelatively been diminished, and the Internet has penetrated deeply intoJapanese society. What are the implications for society of this change from an era in whichmass media exerts a great influential power to shape society at large to anera in which the Internet also plays a major role? If we contrast the massmedia and the Internet, the characteristics of the Internet are said to be“diversification,”“polarization,” “filtering,” and “micro-targeting” which drivesits growth as an advertising medium. In the political dimension, thesecharacteristics have attracted strong social and academic interest, as they aresupposed to produce the phenomenon of “social polarization” and “echochambers.” In this paper, I would argue that the technological determinism that “theInternet intensifies social polarization” is false. I propose to consider therelative reduction of the role of the mass media and the expansion of theInternet media not as the “from the masses to the net” phenomenon but asthe “formation of a polymedia society.” My study, after specifying an “echo-chamber scale” using social survey data, suggests that the higher the mediadiversity, the lower the echo-chamber degree. That is, active use of thepolymedia environment is important to reduce the echo-chamber degree.From this perspective, the concern is that Japanese society has a high echo-chamber level compared internationally.

This paper aims at examining the process of creation and change of readers' community in the magazine "Jyogaku Sekai". For this purpose, I analyzed the letters from readers, and discussed about the historical transition of their writing and communication style. Through a past quantitative analysis, it became clear that a large change has occurred around 1916. At first, a major function of the readers' column was exchanging information about daily life, postcards, books, and etc. However, around 1916, the function of exchanging information disappeared, and the letters of readers became more fictional, romantic, and daydreaming. A use of pen name, graceful style of writing, and sentimental motif spread among girls, these elements established the friendships of readers, and the romantic community was made by the function trough the magazine. I summarize that the large change has occurred based on the decline in the age of readers, the expansion of female magazine market, and development of girl culture in Taisho era.

A postcard nowadays is perceived self-evident as a private communication tool; however, it was once "a new medium" in the past. This paper explores a postcard from a historical viewpoint to reconsider it as a medium. Paying attention to socio-cultural factors surrounding the establishment of postal service system in Japanese modernization process, it will closely look into "Hagaki Bungaku" (in Japanese, the title literally means "postcard literature"), a popular magazine specializing in a picture postcard hobby. The main discussion is about its readers' active contribution as well as its editorial policy during the Russo-Japanese War period which is said to be the heyday of picture postcards. In this paper, the concept of hagaki bungaku, which in fact suggested writing "short literature on a postcard", will be investigated in relation to material characteristics of picture postcards. Meanwhile, the "postcard literature" written by the magazine's readers will be examined in terms of cultural practices, linking with the socio-cultural aspects of Meiji era. Finally, this paper summarizes "a postcard as literature" as "a possible pattern" of postcards as a medium, indicating that the framework achieved from historical approach of media will be also efficient in understanding contemporary media phenomena.

I try to review the studies on media and politics. The 21st century begins, the situation to surround the media becomes severe. So called "media regulation bills" are discussed and the critical situation has the press freedom. On the other hand, it follows, the development of the mass media intensifies influence of the media in politics more. The studies on the media and politics are increased. But many papers handled only a phenomenon side. I prey to increase papers, theoretical and systematical approach.

This paper is to clarify the transformation process of book-reading practices in Meiji Era Japan, by focusing on a popular magazine at the time, "SEIKO (The Success), " whlch contained diverse articles written by the contemporary literati, and told people how to read books well. Close examination of the magazine proves that (1) silent reading was, far from being merely the adaptation to the governmental policy or the innovation of printing technology, established only after many twists and turns; (2) the silent reading transformation reflected some drastic changes in the Japan ethos as a whole: i.e. individualization, privatization and atomization.

An Italian semioticien, U. Eco, advanced the distinction paleo-neo television in 1983. And it is in French context, which experienced the privatization of the television in mid-80's, that the distinction has been developed in various ways by researchers such as F. Casetti, R. Odin, D. Mehl, A. Ehrenberg, and so on. In this paper, their various approaches are presented critically from the viewpoint of the speech act theory. But at the same time, it is also an attempt to transform this linguistic theory into a general media theory, especially inspired by mediologie.
