This is an introduction to the special issue on university-level history education in Japan and the world, including the papers which were originally presented at the international symposium, Globalizing University History Education: Diversity, Trans-borders, and Intersectionality, held in Osaka in August 2019. After the symposium, the organizing committee selected six papers, representing major outcomes of the discussions, for publication in the Bulletin of Asia-Pacific Studies. It appears to be time to discuss university education, in which humanities and foreign/area/regional studies are required to cope with various issues including historical ones in the globalizing world. What kind of handling of history education is possible or impossible for us? In what way are universities working on the common issue of the world? We believe these six papers are the most successful ones in dealing with global issues through specific case studies.

Osaka University is one of the key research universities in Japan, and the Graduate School of Letters (Humanities) has received research funds under ‘21st Century Center for Excellence’ and ‘Global Center for Excellence’ programs of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT). The Department of World History is the hub of global history studies in Japan as well as in Asia, and it hosted the First International Congress of the Asian Association of World Historians (AAWH) in May 2009. The Department is conducting four global history research projects: (1) Silk Road and Central Eurasian world history, (2) Maritime Asian history, (3) History of the Chinese Empire, and (4) World-System from Asian perspectives. The Asian History Section of the Department of World History at Osaka University has a longstanding tradition of archival research in a number of languages: Turkish, Mongol, Tibetan, Manchurian, and of course, Chinese, regarding ‘Inner’ Asia (now often called ‘Central Eurasia’). In the last two decades, the study of Asian Maritime history focusing on the East and South China Seas, and partly involving researchers from the Japanese History Major, has also gained importance. Under the influence of these two leading research groups, studies in Chinese and Japanese histories, which are dominant in the historical discipline in Japan besides ‘Western History’, have shifted their regional investigative focus away from the conventional ‘East Asia’ perspective (essentially China, Korea and Japan) and towards a broader and more flexible area of ‘Eastern Eurasia’ including maritime regions. As a result, polygonal collaborations among scholars working on Central Eurasia, China, Japan, and Maritime Asia (including Southeast Asia) are developing. Valuable methodological and analytical connections could be established between archival research and field surveys, and between perspectives on global relationships and the micro-analysis of local societies.

The aim of this paper is to show how individual research can provide case studies for university-level global history courses (e.g., World History from Global Perspectives) based on the example of a recent field of historical study, Maritime Asian history. Inevitably, it discusses why research groups at Osaka University can assume the role of case study providers for university-level global history. Accordingly, this paper firstly describes the activities of unique research groups in recent years, with particular focus on Osaka University. The Research Group on Maritime Asian History (Kaiiki ajia shi kenkyukai, Kaiikiken) constitutes one of the most active branches of Handai shigaku (Historical Studies at Osaka University). They are well known for their early work in global history research and education in Japan (Minamizuka, 2009; Mukai, 2009). As I was a member of this research group and several projects related to Handai shigaku, this paper refers primarily to content-based contributions for the Global History program at Osaka University with additional references to contributions to projects at the University of Tokyo and Doshisha University that were of particular interest to me. A common theme in this paper relates to the current circumstances surrounding Japanese universities that have been encouraged to “globalize” their educational content. Essentially, most of them have been offering inflexible nationstate-oriented curricula that were too rigid to efficiently incorporate contemporary global issues. This concern goes beyond the pedagogy specialists in the education departments of national universities because the modernization of educational programs to include globalization is also crucial for the survival of the humanities and social science departments in research universities. The sharp decline of 18-year-olds in the population of Japan is likely to cause an existential crisis in universities as the raison d'être of humanities and social sciences departments has been seriously questioned by society. These programs are criticized for being ineffective for analyzing contemporaneous globalization themes and trends. How is this adaptation possible for researchers of historical studies who are also responsible for education in their universities? To answer this question, I chose the topic of the “historical diaspora in Maritime Asia.” As my principal research field, it concerns the history of the Muslim diaspora in pre-modern Maritime Asia.

This article on history education at German universities does not offer a detailed analysis of its relevant structures, but only a very brief sketch (1). Instead, it places a special focus on the theoretical concepts of ‘historical consciousness’ and ‘historical culture’ (2). These concepts have not only played an important role for the education of future history teachers at German universities for thirty years, but has also gained considerable prominence in cultural studies-oriented historical research and teaching in Germany (‘cultural turn’). In addition, it shows a rather close connection to the newly established master’s programmes in ‘public history’ (3), which have been expanding history education at German universities for a number of years and are still on the rise.

The purpose of this paper is to introduce the current state of history education in local universities by referring to the case of Shizuoka University. In recent years, the study and value of the humanities have come under growing pressure and debate in Japan. Many Japanese universities face a decrease in the number of professors and research funds in the humanities, including history departments. In national universities, the number of professors of the humanities are rapidly decreasing compared with the number of professors of the natural sciences. This problem is more serious in local universities than large-scale research universities. In these difficult conditions, how did we deal with history education at our university? In this paper, I will focus on two points. First, I will examine the situation of local universities by referring to the case of Shizuoka University and present the process we took to reform undergraduate history education. However, there was a limit to how far the history curriculum could be reformed, as each year Shizuoka University faced a decrease in professors and research funds. Therefore, secondly, I discuss how we set up a new society of history education, which was supported by other faculty members and high school teachers. The Society of History Education in Shizuoka (静岡歴史教育研究会) was established in 2010. I will consider the role played by the Society in bridging history research and history education, combining the efforts of high schools and Shizuoka University, and integrating Japanese History and World History into society.

本稿は、私が以前書いたブログ記事『高畑勲(1935〜2018年)戦後アニメーションにおける卓越した存在感』(「アニメーションスタディーズ 2.0」2018年5月7日)を発展させたものである。このブログはアニメーションスタディーズ協会に属している。同協会のメンバーが編集者であるためである。ブログは、学者、アーティスト、ファンが自らの現在の考えを簡潔かつ迅速に発表できるインターネット空間となっている。そのため、関連する主題について深く洞察するには詳細に取り組むスペースは限られている。この機会を用いてアニメーションメディアとストーリーテリングの世界に対する高畑監督の貢献に対する私の認識をさらに深めたい。高畑監督のアニメーション映画に立ち戻り、戦後史における監督の経歴を再検討するが、その際、逸話でつづった記憶と彼の創造的な精神についての私の研究と理解を含んでいる。

この論文は高畑勲によるアニメーション映画「じゃりン子チエ」を分析した。原作は大衆に人気があり、広く知られる漫画である。高畑は作家性を抑制し、原作に忠実であろうと努力した。その結果、論じられる機会の乏しい作品となっている。しかし、漫画と映画は、表現の点で大きく異なっている。そのギャップを埋めるための高畑の方法を、具体的な映像に基づいて検証した。映画では時間と空間に関する意識が重要である。高畑勲が映画をどのようなものと把握し、構築しようとしていたか、その一端を検証考察する試みだ。

本稿は、高畑勲が、映像化したいと考えていた宮沢賢治の童話についてその映像的表現や特色について考察するものである。その際、アニミズム論の新しい視点を導入する。ポストヒューマンが予想される現在、アニミズム論も新たな展開をみせているためである。本章の手順は以下の通りである。1章では、高畑勲が宮沢賢治作品について映像化したいと述べていた発言を再考し、「非人間」との「共生」「共存」という主題を確認する。2章では、宮沢賢治『雪渡り』と『鹿踊りのはじまり』を取り上げ、後者において視覚表現と聴覚表現が交替で立ち現れる入れ子構造に着目し、重層化される「アニメーション映画」となっている様相を検討する。3章では、アニミズムの新しい観点から、『なめとこ山の熊』を取り上げ、人間と「非人間」(熊)との関係に同質性や魂の分有がある点について考察する。高畑が着目した宮沢賢治の童話は、一見郷土色豊かな土着的な話にみえるものの、〈アニメーション映画〉としてみるとき、その背後にはテクノロジーの眼が摘出されることを指摘したい。
