The Minimalist Program (MP), which was advanced by Chomsky in 1993, is an attempt to explore the possibility that language is a perfect solution to interface conditions (Strong Minimalist Thesis, SMT). In this essay, I call attention to a significant change over the years in the characterization of “perfection of language” in SMT, i.e. a change from a methodological to an empirical characterization, and point out some of its important empirical consequences for the biological study of language. I also reconsider the methodological status of the MP in biolinguistics, illuminating the relation between two kinds of minimalism, methodological and substantive.

This essay analyzes In This Corner of The World (both the original manga and the anime version), focusing on the role of “memorizing now”. This work is very successful in depicting truly daily life in wartime Japan. The protagonist Suzu represents “memorizing now” through her act of drawing things and gives the meta-structure to the work. The little girl Harumi who tells Suzu names of warships in Kure Port that she could hardly know at that time mediates the continuity between innocent citizens and military. Absent and invisible brothers who taught her those names and also connect Suzu to her husband Shusaku function as the presentness itself of “memorizing now”. They are the limit of depicting=memorizing the past, bring about a tragic death to Haruim and deprive Suzu of her drawing right hand.

This article analyzes the Japanese electric power supply network using Ulrich Beck’s theory of ‘sub-politics’, which argues that political decisions are made by non-political and expert groups, rather than by parliamentary government. What kinds of factors were necessary for the electric power supply network to become sub-political? In order to answer this question, this article focuses on risks and benefits, the influence of several wars, technological innovation and the transition in the value of electricity, in relation to both the government and the electric industry.

This paper theoretically approaches the process of historical change in South Korea's ban on Japanese popular culture. By examining “the collective emotional ambivalence” with concepts of “censorship,” “collective (un)conscious,” and “disavowal,” this paper investigates the shaping process of “the post-colonial subject” who both denies and desires the other's culture. All this argues that the subject possessing a collective conscience and emotion toward the other is cultural production through the development process of the mass media, the arena for the struggles and contradictions of complicated conditions responsible for constructing the globally, nationally, and locally penetrating concept of the “nation.”

This paper aims at discussing Max Weber's methodology, specifically based on his essay "Objectivity in Social Science and Social policy". It is well known that Max Weber made continuous efforts to construct modern social science; his Gesammelte Aufsätze zur Wissenschaftslehre are full of highly suggestive ideas and concepts for students who are interested in methodology generally. If media studies is also expected to be one of genuine social and cultural sciences, every piece of Weber's thought will be important. Every social reality is unique, concrete and infinitely rich; we cannot grasp it without constructing "ideal type" which is not real image of reality, but its edited one. It will be shown that Weber's "ideal type" is composed of three ingredients, that is, economy, value and history.

The pamphlet is one type of printed material other than books, as well as a printed act of persuasion. Newspapers remained till the 1680s as an information tool, i.e. they informed society about different events in the world but did not comment on them. But a society basically needs opportunities or channels to express its own judgments and assessments, especially of important objects. Further, we usually try to share these through personal and/or public communication. In this way, the pamphlet developed in the German society of the 16th century as a printed medium of persuasion. The distinguishable functions of newspapers and pamphlets four centuries ago resembles the distribution of various types of speech acts categorized by linguistic pragmatics. We always do various communicative acts with a text.

This paper examines the cultural meaning in terms of the border transgression of text which arises through the process of remaking video content such as TV dramas in other countries, using a Japanese TV drama "Haken no Hinkaku" and its Korean remake "Shokuba no Kami". "Haken no Hinkaku" is a TV drama which formulated social consciousness in the motif of the change in employment practices in Japan, such as labor dispatch. When it was remade in Korea, the social consciousness did not just project the real world, but covered the relation outside of the text, functioning as a motive of a stir in society, or evocation of public opinion. In this paper, the point where the social consciousness arises was studied by the comparative analyses of the text in both TV productions. It revealed that the original work had been transformed into a dissimilar TV drama by the shift in the characteristics of the protagonist. As a result, it has become certain that a remake gives new significance to the original by 'localization' of the original as well as reproduces it in the capacity of cultural practice.

It is vital for the New Chitose Airport to function not only as a node in itineraries of Hokkaido tourism from other countries but also as a last destination and medium of such tourism. This study was aimed at proposing strategy for raising the level of service (LOS) and enhancing the Hokkaido brand at the Airport's international flight passenger terminal, which is scheduled for construction in fiscal 2009. The study was based on interviews with 46 persons (mainly persons involved in inbound Hokkaido tourism, tour guides, and foreign residents of Sapporo). In light of the interview findings, it recommends improvement of arrangements for tourism consumption (i.e., sales of goods, food & beverage service, information provision, entertainment, and relaxation services) with a view to enhancing the Hokkaido brand, around key words such as "convenience", "comfort", "surprise", "enjoyment", and "impression".

This paper analyses complex sentences consisting of an initial clause including a benefactive auxiliary verb and a second clause including an expression of thanks. The study focuses in particular on sentences using kudasaru or itadaku. Complex sentences of this kind show grammatical constraints as illustrated by oshiete (*moratte/kurete) arigatoo. However, if the verb morau is changed to the object-honorific itadaku, the whole sentence is rendered as oshiete itadaite arigatoo gozaimasu. This kind of expression sounds natural and is in common use, appearing even in Japanese textbooks. Based on the above facts, the paper examines how the usage of honorific and polite expressions affects the grammaticality of sentences containing benefactive auxiliary verbs. First, the paper investigates prior research related to te-form conjunctive sentences expressing appreciation. Second, the paper suggests three possible factors which affect grammaticality, based on analysis of acceptance criteria for the expressions *V-te moratte arigatoo and V-te itadaite arigatoo gozaimasu. Finally, the paper concludes that honorific and polite expressions affect the acceptability of sentences through cancelling the inherent directionality of benefactive expressions.

This paper examines the transnational space of popular culture and cultural identities in Korea that formed in the process of the public acceptance of Japanese Animation (Anime), one of few fields officially allowed in the postwar period during which Japanese popular culture was forbidden. Particularly, in analyzing anime-songs aired in Korea between the 1960s and the 2000s and in observing the process of their historical evolvement, critical points for arguing the flow of popular culture between Japan and Korea as it relates to media culture and identity emerge. The research first reconstitutes the cultural relationship between postwar Japan and Korea, as reflected in the acceptance of Anime and historic changes in South Korean identities in the above period, according to the ideal type "Anime-Song Community." Then, the research employs a comprehensive approach incorporating diverse perspectives of industrial and historical content flow, consumption, and identity to examine the way in which media practice constitutes that field. By thus considering from an overall perspective what kind of socio-cultural dynamics are revealed through changes in the style of acceptance of "Anime-Songs" shared between both countries, we should be able to comprehend the transition of cultural identity amidst young Korean generations.

The “OYOYO” is an art community organization operated by members of a civic volunteer group in Sapporo. Through their activities the members of OYOYO attain the skills to overcome the difficulties of daily living in Japanese modern society and empower others wll being. Although OYOYO is a specialized community in arts, why does this community exercise such an empowering function? This paper provides several lines of evidence that an art community organization can function as “the intermediate area where anybody can negotiate a framework of values throughout their actual practices and conversations. This study will explore generating mechanisms of empowerment by participant observation research.

Community development, one of critical elements of the sustainable community management, has been increasing its importance in local communities in Japan in recent years. A gradual shift toward decentralization, since in 2003, has been forcing communities to adopt more self-sustaining development policies. At the same time, along with the enactment of the NPO Act in 1998, a variety of actors, including those outside from the communities, have entered grass-rooted activities in local communities. Such an increased involvement of outsiders in the community development process means that they also play an ever-more significant role in the empowerment of the local community. Although most articles discuss the controversial points of outsiders, there have been only a few studies evaluating the positive perspectives. This paper examines the role of outsiders in the community development process by discussing the relations between the working process and outsiders. The result of this study implies that more openly the community is managed, more significantly outsiders can contribute to the community development.

Previous studies have shown clear cultural differences in how Japanese and American social network site (SNS) users interract with differing SNS platforms (see Barker and Ota, 2011; Fogg and Iizawa, 2008; Takahashi, 2010). In this study of 131 Japanese SNS users who use both Facebook and Mixi, self-disclosure, numbers of contacts, in-group numbers, and levels of perceived commitment on Mixi and Facebook were measured. The study found that such users showed a lower level of self-disclosure, connected with fewer people and had fewer categories of contacts, and felt a higher degree of commitment on Mixi than on Facebook. It is suggested that these differences stem from differing responses to percieved relational mobility on each platform; Mixi being a socioecological environment which reflects low-relationally mobile Japanese society, and Facebook being a socioecological environment which reflects high relationally mobile North American social environments.

This paper aims to discuss the optimal nature of corporate websites for B2B (Business to Business) marketing. One of the purposes of this study is to suggest further opportunities for research from an internet survey of people working in B2B companies. This study shows that B2B corporate websites are to be valued not only at the awareness stage, but also at the exploration stage. Moreover, it is necessary for B2B corporate websites to have not only detailed information on products and services, but also information on management strategies (information on corporate strategy, IR, CSR etc.). It is suggests that a balance is needed between both types of information in B2B corporate websites.

This study aims to reveal the relationship between motivations and expectations of learning achievement among Japanese language students at Ukrainian universities by a questionnaire survey. It is known that motivations have significant effects on the extent of achievement of L2 learning outcomes. Learners of Japanese language in Ukraine set notably high goals (to obtain a scholarship to go and study in Japan, for example) at the beginning of their studies, but many of them are unable to maintain the original motivations until their graduation. Goals set too high can decrease learners' expectations of achievement, and can result in demotivating them to study Japanese. This paper examined 265 students from five universities in Ukraine. The results of the factor analysis show that students in higher academic years have different motivations to first or second-year students. Students in higher academic years can be grouped into three clusters according to their main motivations. Students with work- and culture-related motivations have stronger self-expectations that they will achieve their goals than those with language-related one. The results of cluster analysis indicated that their goals and the expectations of achievement are related to the types of learning motivation.
