NHK Chugakusei Nikki was a weekly educational TV program produced by NHK Nagoya Broadcasting Station. It aired nationally from 1972 to 2012. This show was significant because it focused persistently on “the daily lives of ordinary” junior high school students and attracted a larger audience than other educational TV series. Interestingly, amateur teenage actors played themselves in the program. This study analyses how the program was viewed and produced. It also takes the media studies perspective to discuss why viewers considered the images of junior high school students disseminated by the program to be attractive and realistic. In doing so, it specifically references Dean MacCannell’s concept of staged authenticity. The present study is original because it presents the viewpoint that the producers, viewers, and performers of the TV program were all spectators observing the “back region” of other groups, while simultaneously being performers who showed other groups their own back region. The study finds that the television program was underpinned by the desire of viewers and producers to understand junior high school students, scrutinize their human aspects, and function as appropriate adult for students. The program also represented an attempt to preserve the boundaries between adults and junior high school students, and between being in school and out of school. The study could yield a more comprehensive understanding of the nature of real and everyday life depicted on television and other media.

Manzai, Japanese duo stand-up comedy, has a social aspect because it is based on social codes. This study focuses on ‘boyaki (blurting out) manzai’ in postwar Japan and analyzes its content from two perspectives (first, from the social context of then, and second, from the social context of now), in order to clarify its relationship with social norms. In boyaki manzai, the new culture (particularly the fashion and behavior of young women) that was introduced to the country after World War II was the subject of ridicule. However, the content of the manzai of then does not evoke laughter in the present social context. From the modern perspective, it is evident that the statements in boyaki manzai contain gender discrimination based on male-centric principles, and thus, it is sometimes perceived negatively. This study argues that the acceptable range of laughter changes with social norms.

<p>This research aims to rethink the meanings of the act of narrating discrimination in an anti-military movement. While narrating discrimination has been scrutinised as a teleological performance, it has not been examined as the process of verbalising an experience that is difficult to put into words. Considering this academic situation, it would be necessary to recognise the significance of addressing the issue that people narrate discrimination is likely to be influenced directly by their understanding of the norm of "political correctness" in the movement. Then it will be possible to explore the discussion on mnemonic practices that can open the possibility of reconnecting to others through noticing mishear. Through examining how I had misheard the narrative of a participant of the anti-military movement in Okinawa, whose parents are ex-leprosy patients, this paper tries to shed light on the language order related to narrating discrimination and uncover how noticing that I had misheard the voices of others can transform existing relationships and/or memories.</p>

This paper presents characteristics of “interactive” communication to promote innovation. In recent years, many researchers have shown interest in “interactive” communication in science and technology communities as a means of promoting innovation. However, collaboration and “interactive” communication do not guarantee success, which is dependent on the quality of the communication and the methods employed. This paper investigates the development of successful collaboration in the field of innovative technology. We examined the specific case of removing old paint using laser beams to elucidate an “interactive” communication method that promotes innovation. We conducted three in-depth interviews with key members of the development team and a group interview involving all participants and analyzed and interpreted the data using the framework of “Katari=Antenarrative” theory. As a result, the following factors were identified as characteristics of “interactive” communication promoting innovation: “chains of awareness and meaning transformation in a ternary relationship,” “Katari to create empathy,” “mutual responsiveness,” and “listener’s flexibility.” Furthermore, we brought up “Katari-tsutae” as a new concept of “Katari=Antenarrative” theory. In conclusion, we suggest that innovation will be promoted by recognizing and practicing these four characteristics of “interactive” communication when working on technology development.

The purpose of this essay is to explore the 17th century imagination of Baroque as a conceptualization of generative subject against the backdrop of the Foucauldian episteme of the Classical. The essay reads a potential of Descartes’ texts of Rules for Spiritual Direction and The Passions of the Soul in the reference of Foucault’s argument regarding 17th century imagination of the classical age. The essay attempts to locate the imagination in the Cartesian text as the locus of in-between spirit and body that deconstructs its dualism, the space of “res extensa” where subjects are rhetorically composed within on-going differences and continual movements. As the point of departure for this argument, this essay critically demonstrates a failure of Bradford Vivian (2000) who tried to explore the power of rhetorical forms in the process of composing the self as a subject in the modern West by adopting the “philosophy of becoming” by Gilles Deleuze and the “technologies of the self” by Michel Foucault. The essay points out the failure of Vivian’s argument on the reiteration of Cartesian subject in the modern episteme after the 19th century based on his misrecognition that not only misses the historical rupture of epistemes between the Classical and the modern but also misunderstands the location of subject in Deleuzian philosophy of becoming and fold. With critical reading of Descartes’ texts, the essay analyzes Rembrandt’s Philosopher in Meditation that metaphorically presents the space of 17th century imagination wherein intellect is composed as folds and well contemplated by the eye of spirit.

Audio Visual Translation (AVT) is essential for importing and exporting moving pictures overseas. Dubbing and subtitling are the two processes involved in AVT. While dubbing is mainstream in Japanese terrestrial TV broadcasting, this was not the case at its inception. Dubbing emerged as a way to facilitate interaction between senders and audiences. This research investigated the dubbing process in NET (Nippon-Educational-Television, current TV Asahi). NET was the forerunner of AVT in Japanese TV from the 1950s to the 1970s. The translation norms of the sender were clarified by analyzing chronological changes in the form of the AVT used and the interaction between senders and audiences in Japanese TV. The study draws the following conclusions: 1) A significant degree of overlap exists between accountability and expectancy norms. The strength of expectancy norms was emphasized by Chesterman (1997) and was verified by this study. 2) Comprehension and naturalness used to be viewed as the standard in expectancy norms. However, the growing emphasis on richness and identity of expression overtook these previously held standards. 3) The norms were found to be stronger for adult programs and theater-movies than for children’s programs and television movies.

The purpose of this essay is to rethink how not only the participants of social movement, but also journalists and scholars have directed their eye gaze towards “others.” This essay analyzes the experience of the “elderly” who have engaged with the Okinawa Issue in both Okinawa and Tokyo. It attempts to consider the process of seeking a way to govern their own bodies, languages, and feelings in order to avoid being absorbed into the politics of the nation-state. By examining these experiences in retrospect, one can observe the ramifications resulting from the birth of new ways in the governing of the body, especially for the “young” and the majority of the local populace—who have been observed to be content with their “safe” position despite the exclusion of others from their society.

In recent years, the fields of human sciences have witnessed growing interests in understanding the elusive nature of matters and the porous process of materialization. In response to the new intellectual trend that is often labeled “new materialism,” this paper critically argues that “Android Lincoln,” the prototype of audio-animatronics that Walt Disney invented in 1964, can be best understood as an “anthropomorphic machine of rhetoric”: it literally embodies a new materialist conception of human-speaking practice. Viewing the apparatus as a mechanical chimera that materializes humans’ technē of speech, this paper marks a first step toward a genealogy of the mechanical embodiment of rhetoric and promotes a theoretical reconfiguration of the relationship among rhetoric, materiality, and culture.

Coaching is increasingly regarded as a useful method for personal growth and professional achievement. It is now an industry, and it has experienced significant growth especially in the last decade. Whereas academic inquiry into coaching can be interdisciplinary, the present paper studies coaching as a collaborative narrative practice carried out between two individuals. This study is based on dialogic analysis of recorded and transcribed data from an actual coaching session. Specifically, this paper analyzes how metaphor (re)shapes the way in which narratives unfold, contributing to the collaborative and interactive transformation of a story. That is, this paper sheds light on the way in which metaphor can create a pivotal point at which collaborative narratives expand and allow for (re)creating a meaningful story.

This paper focuses on the historical contributions of the Dutch-Japanese translators in the Edo era (they later served as English-Japanese translators as English took over from Dutch as a dominant foreign language) and their marginal position as communication mediators. Translation was a profession carried down from father to son in designated families. They were low-ranking government officials in Nagasaki. This was the only place open for trade with outside world for nearly 230 years while Japan was largely closed off. Although their status was low, as communication mediators they were privileged in having access to the most up-to-date knowledge and technology, and exposure to the alternative values of the West. There were, however, both positive and negative sides being at the cultural border : They could acquire the latest information so that some could develop and extend themselves in different fields, such as medicine, linguistics, and second language education. Without those translators, Western medicine could not have been studied widely by the Japanese medical doctors those days. Their accumulated knowledge of Dutch language, and the dictionaries they compiled undoubtedly smoothed the introduction of English. On the other hand, as mediators, their status was quite subordinate. They had no decision-making power and they seemed to have identity problems. As they worked closely with foreigners, it may easily be imagined that their personal ties with members of another cultural group might not always correspond to their assigned obligations and duties. There were also occasions when their group identity was perceived to be ambivalent, leading other fellow Japanese not to trust them. Although these translators were ignored by history, their contributions are worth reevaluating. The marginality inherent in the role of a mediator between two cultural groups merits special attention.

The purpose of this study is to reinterpret Japanese communication style, which has been explained based on the theory of Japanese collectivism. In many previous academic discussions concerning the Japanese, the people and society in Japan have been described as collectivism On the other hand, very few of the recently published empirical studies support the theory of Japanese collectivism. How should this gap be explained? It is necessary to examine principles of behavior to answer this question. This study is based on the assumption that humans are guided by the behavioral principle of fulfilling their interests, needs, and desires, including the five basic needs presented by psychologist Abraham Maslow-a notion the author refers to as "the pursuit of self-interest." It is possible to assume the operation of this principle of behavior on the basis of social exchange theory in psychology and rational choice theory in sociology. Even if a communication style that appears to reflect collectivist behavior is found, that may not be because the Japanese is pursuing the group interest rather than individual interest as has been explained to date, following the theory of Japanese collectivism. Instead, in attempting to meet a goal, the Japanese may be making a decision different from that of, for example, the American because of cultural factors that have developed historically and socially. Since it cannot be considered individualistic, the Japanese communication style has been considered by Americans to be collectivistic. However, if we assume -consciously or unconsciously- the fundamental behavioral principle of the pursuit of self-interest, it may be more appropriate to adopt a paradigm such as "self-interested cooperation" which is essentially different from the notion of collectivism as it is commonly understood by American people.

<p>The Meiji Restoration was a chain of events that many scholars consider to mark the beginning of Japanese Modernization. In 1968, to honor its modern incarnation, Japan celebrated the Meiji Centennial as one of its biggest media events after World War II. The Japanese Government focused on Japan's achievements over the past century and aimed to create a positive image by establishing Tokyo as the symbol of Japanese Modernization. It also became involved with the Meiji Centennial celebrated in Hawaii by Japanese-Americans.</p><p>For the Japanese, the meaning of the event was to show respect for ancestors who worked hard, fought for their country, and even died on the path to modernization. However, Japanese-Americans in Hawaii celebrated this event to show appreciation for their elders who worked hard to create a positive image of Japanese immigrants. They focused on their immigration history because their memories were very different from what the Japanese Government wanted to impose. Furthermore, for Japanese-Americans "The Memory of the Realm" in Japan was not Tokyo, but Kyoto. Therefore, Japanese-Americans in Hawaii used imagery from Kyoto rather than Tokyo. Thus arose a conflict in giving meaning to the Meiji Centennial, as both sides aimed to create a different memory of the past.</p><p>This study analyses the Meiji Centennial event in Hawaii and its differences from that held in Japan. It explains the meaning of the event for Japanese-Americans in Hawaii and the meaning that the Japanese Government attempted to ascribe to it. It also explains the miscommunication that occurred between Japan and Japanese-Americans. The analysis focuses on two projects (Rainbow Over the Pacific and the Byodo-in Temple) and explains differences in memories of The Meiji Restoration between Japan and Hawaii from the point of memory studies.</p>
