Although Japanese studies in Spain started somewhat late, its development over the last thirty years within Spanish universities has been remarkable. Eight universities currently offer study programs in East Asian studies, including Japanese studies, and a similar number are carrying out research projects. Japanese studies has expanded from the humanities to the social sciences, and also within research groups, centers, and universities. However, the issue of institutional support and funding poses challenges in the long term. This article addresses the research and teaching of Japanese studies in Spain and provides an overview of a growing academic field.

Over the past several decades, the number of sites, objects, and practices that have been deemed heritage has increased dramatically across the globe and, likewise, the number of heritage studies. Westernlanguage studies of Japanese heritage have focused on questions of identity, power, the state, and tourism. These questions must be understood in terms of heritagization’s transnational nature. Based on Western-lanugage, primarily English, studies, this review examines recent research on Japanese heritage. Much research has focused on museums and castles, but “intangible heritage” and “negative heritage” are also important. Heritage studies is not a coherent research field. Informed by anthropology, history, geography, art history, literary studies, and other disciplines, heritage studies probes what lies behind cultural expressions and illuminates power relations.

This article investigates Japanese cultural and political influence in the Kingdom of Siam, renamed Thailand in 1939. Early exchanges in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries saw the consumption of Japanese products in the Southeast Asian kingdom as status symbols. Japanese swords in particular were cherished and have become dynastic heirlooms since then. From the late nineteenth century onward, Imperial Japan was seen as a role model of successful modernization in Bangkok and Japanese advisors and instructors were hired by the court. Critics of the absolute monarchy meanwhile stressed that Imperial Japan had become a great power as a constitutional monarchy.

This paper examines the Nihon University 930 reunion and Nichidai-Zenkyōtō organizations that were involved in campus-related activism in 1968. Furthermore, the paper reviews the pattern and significance of activities illuminated during a roundtable discussion during this reunion and records their experiences. The alumni association published the book series, A Record of Activism of Nihon University: Unforgettable Moments, and asked alumni to document their memories of the struggle. They have continued to devote themselves as activists to recordkeeping in order to objectively examine themselves as objects of history.

アルメニア共和国の教育機関において日本研究コースが初めて開かれたのは2009年であるため、同国における日本研究の歴史は決して長くない。しかし、20 世紀初頭から日本に関する著書が出版され、また日本の文学作品が、ロシア語などの言語を媒介して翻訳されている。本稿では、アルメニア国立図書館で保管されている日本に関する著書や、アルメニア語に翻訳された文学作品を紹介し、アルメニアにおける日本研究の現状や課題について述べる。

本稿は、中国学術界における江戸時代の怪異小説に関する研究の現状と、その展望を述べたものである。怪異小説の研究は「迷信を排除し、科学を提唱する」という国のモットーにそぐわず、研究に必要な資料も十分ではない。まして、中国人の研究者にとって、江戸時代のくずし字は読みづらい。ゆえに、中国では大学院生の学位論文以外の江戸怪異小説の研究が少なく、大学院生が研究の主力になっている。彼らの研究の多くは、江戸怪異小説を日中比較文学論上に載せて考察している。
