This research takes the instance of punk subculture in Japan as a case study for examining how this subculture was translated from its original context in the U.K. The frameworks which are used to analyze this case study are a hybrid of Gramscian hegemony and Lacanian psychoanalysis. The theoretical applications for this research are the study of subcultural migration and the processes of translation and recontextualization. Keywords: subculture; Cultural Studies; psychoanalysis; hegemony; fashion communication; popular communication iii Dedication Glory to God alone. iv Acknowledgements “Ideas come from pre-existing ideas” was the first phrase I heard in a university classroom, and this statement is ever more resonant when acknowledging those individuals who have led me to this stage in my academic journey.

    Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Japanskt mál og menning Fashion Subcultures in Japan A multilayered history of street fashion in Japan Ritgerð til BA-prófs í japönsku máli og menningu Inga Guðlaug Valdimarsdóttir Kt: 0809883039 Leðbeinandi: Gunnella Þorkellsdóttir September 2015 1 Abstract This thesis discusses the history of the street fashion styles and its accompanying cultures that are to be found on the streets of Japan, focusing on the two most well- known places in Tokyo, namely Harajuku and Shibuya, as well as examining if the economic turmoil in Japan in the 1990s had any effect on the Japanese street fashion. The thesis also discusses youth cultures, not only those in Japan, but also in North- America, Europe, and elsewhere in the world; as well as discussing the theories that exist on the relation of fashion and economy of the Western world, namely in North- America and Europe. The purpose of this thesis is to discuss the possible causes of why and how the Japanese street fashion scene came to be into what it is known for today: colorful, demiurgic, and most of all, seemingly outlandish to the viewer; whilst using Japanese society and culture as a reference. Moreover, the history of certain street fashion styles of Tokyo is to be examined in this thesis. The first chapter examines and discusses youth and subcultures in the world, mentioning few examples of the various subcultures that existed, as well as introducing the Japanese school uniforms and the culture behind them. The second chapter addresses how both fashion and economy influence each other, and how the fashion in Japan was before its economic crisis in 1991.

The questionnaires concerning the fashion behavior were submitted to a total of 363 female college students in Japan and Thailand in 2011. The results revealed the significant differences in fashion behavior between the two countries, which were affected by the climate, personal income, and traditional lifestyle. The Japanese youths care much about their personal surroundings and adapt fashion as a communication tool for social networking to be accepted in a group. The Thai youths care less about fashion and seek for other tools for social networking. By the time of the survey, the Japanese street fashion has been already matured as a communication tool with a variety of expression ways and is transfiguring spontaneously by repeated diversification and integration of several fashion elements.

THE FASHION OF FRILL: THE ART OF IMPRESSION MANAGEMENT IN THE ATLANTA LOLITA AND JAPANESE STREET FASHION COMMUNITY by CHANCY J. GATLIN Under the Direction of Emanuela Guano, PhD ABSTRACT The Atlanta Lolita and Japanese Street Fashion Community is a multifaceted fashion community that developed in the early 2000s. The majority of the members wear Lolita fashion which is a fusion of Victorian era dress, Rococo costume, and various Japanese street fashions. Lolita fashion developed on the streets of Tokyo Japan in the 1990s and has since spread across the world. The Atlanta Lolita and Japanese Street Fashion Community heavily relies on the building and maintenance of impressions by its members. In this thesis, I analyze face-to-face and virtual community organization, fashion, and photography to illustrate how members of the community build their impressions, how they are maintained, or how they are threatened.

  • Girls Changing the Language  a Comparison Between the Meiji Schoolgirls and the Present Day Kogals Elin Nilsson
    Centre for Languages and Literature – Japanese studies JAPK11 Spring 2013 Girls changing the language a comparison between the Meiji schoolgirls and the present day kogals Elin Nilsson Supervisor: Lars Larm Abstract When girls in Japan acquired the right to higher education in the wake of the Meiji reformation in the 19th century, these girls began to talk in a way that was considered vulgar by the public. It was called teyo dawa kotoba (teyo dawa speech) – and over time it became what we call female speech today. During the Meiji and Taisho periods proper ladies did not talk that way, and it was considered to be vulgar slang. Today that is the way proper ladies are expected to talk. Teyo dawa kotoba was not considered to be female speech until the 1930s. Kogals (a subculture of girls in their late teens) have been around since early 1990s, and they have their own vocabulary also considered to be vulgar slang – are there any signs that the same thing is happening today? Are present day Japanese people aware of which words they use (if any) that originated as kogal slang? If not, can this be considered the beginning of a similar assimilation of slang of teenage girls? A comparison between the Meiji schoolgirls and the present day kogals is possible and certain similarities can be found at just a quick glance.

  • Tokyo Ribelle: Processi Di Formazione Delle Subculture Giovanili Di Shibuya E Harajuku
    Corso di Laurea magistrale (ordinamento ex D.M. 270/2004) in Lingue e civiltà dell'Asia e dell'Africa Mediterranea Tesi di Laurea Tokyo Ribelle: Processi di formazione delle subculture giovanili di Shibuya e Harajuku Relatore Prof.ssa Roberta Novielli Correlatore Prof.ssa Paola Scrolavezza Laureando Federica Zaghini Matricola 827802 Anno Accademico 2014/ 2015 要旨 本論文の目的は東京におけるユースサブカルチャー(若者文化)を分析するため、その 原因と素因を検討することである。特に、渋谷の「ギャル」サブカルチャーと原宿の「ロ リータ」と「デコラ」サブカルチャーを代表とした若者文化の特徴を考慮することにした。 日本の若者文化を分析した理由は、渋谷や原宿から生まれた若者文化はパンク(punk)や ゴス(goth)など西洋の若者文化と比べると、唯一の特性を持ち、現在では自分のアイデ ンティティーを確立するための手段として世界中の若者たちに影響を与えるからである。 本論の講成については次の通りである。 はじめに、序論でユースサブカルチャーについて基本的な概念を紹介する。第一章でメ インカルチャーとサブカルチャーの違いを説明した上で、ヘブディジ氏の作品による「象 徴」の概念も紹介する。次に、日本の戦争後の社会的な状態を解析し、若者文化の発生の 原因にさかのぼる。これまでの研究では、サブカルチャーは社会、景気、また価値の危機 状況から発生する現象であると言われており、危機状況に直面してしまう若者たちはどの ように反応するか、またそれに対し社会はどのように変化するかについて詳しく分析して いく。 続いて、第二章ではユースサブカルチャーに影響を与えた基本要素を検討する。日本社 会では「世間体」という概念は重要だと考えられている。しかし、若者文化といえば、普 通とは異なる外見であろう。このことについて、第一の基本要素と考えられる日本社会に おける「一様性」を考慮していく。次に、調査された若者文化は女性のほうが優位である ため、「かわいい文化」や「少女文化」などの女性文化はどのような影響を与えたか、そ してなぜ「かわいい」という概念は反抗的な性質があるといえるかなどを分析する。 また、80年代の半ば、ポケベルをはじめ、PHS、携帯電話など新しい通信が開発され ると共に、人間関係も変化を示している。従って、「ギャル文字」や「ポケ言葉」など若 者たち以外に分からない暗語が生み出され、サブカルチャーのコミュニケーション方法を 感化したのである。さらに、以上述べたように、若者文化の外見は特異であるし、サブカ ルチャーの異様なファッションはコスプレと誤解することがよくある。異様なスタイルに もかかわらず、サブカルチャーのファッションはただの遊びではなく、自分のアイデン 2 ティティーを確立する方法だといえる。 そこで、第三章では若者たちはどのようにして東京の場所と関係を作るようになること について考慮してく。サブカルチャーの種類は場所によって異なるため、難波功士氏の研 究による「族」と「系」という種類の違いを詳しく検討する。 最後に、第四章では第三章までに検討された基本要素を通じ、サブカルチャーについて さらに分析していく。まず第一に、「ギャル」サブカルチャーを中心にしてその起源、反

The Female Gaze in Contemporary Japanese Literature Abstract The female gaze can be used by writers and readers to look at narratives from a perspective that sees women as subjects instead of objects. Applying a female gaze to discourses that have traditionally been male-dominated opens new avenues of interpretation that are empowering from a feminist perspective. In this dissertation, I use the murder mystery novels of the bestselling female author Kirino Natsuo and the graphic novels of a prolific four-woman artistic collective called CLAMP to demonstrate how writers are capable of applying a female gaze to the themes of their work and how readers can and have read their work from the perspectives allowed by a female gaze. Kirino Natsuo presents a female perspective on such issues as prostitution, marriage, and equal employment laws in her novels, which are often based on sensationalist news stories. Meanwhile, CLAMP challenges the discourses surrounding the production and consumption of fictional women, especially the young female characters, or shojo, that have become iconic in Japanese popular culture.

  • AFFECTS of YOUTH and SCHOOLING in JAPAN by Yuko
    PERFORMING “THE OTHER” AND BECOMING DIFFERENT: AFFECTS OF YOUTH AND SCHOOLING IN JAPAN by Yuko Kawashima A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Curriculum, Teaching and Learning Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Yuko Kawashima 2017 Performing “the Other” and Becoming Different: Affects of Youth and Schooling in Japan Doctor of Philosophy 2017 Yuko Kawashima Department of Curriculum, Teaching and Learning University of Toronto Abstract This dissertation explores how Japanese youth experience their senses of self through looking into drama/theatre classes in secondary school. To consider the issue of “multicultural coexistence” in Japan with the idea of multiple belongings and the liberation of youth, I explore the ways, if any, in which young people are involved in a radical repositioning or internal qualitative transformation in a productive and affirmative manner, as well as what factors prevent those transformations from occurring. Applying Deleuze and Guattari’s concepts such as “becoming” and “affects,” I especially examine the experiences of acting or performance, in particular the practices of “mimesis,” which refers to embodying the image of “the other” through imagination. The analysis is based on one year and five months of ethnographic research with high school students at a school in a cosmopolitan but relatively economically deprived area of Tokyo. The narratives emerged from observation in drama classes and in-depth interviews with journal writing and assignments, utilizing a methodology of postqualitative research. As seen through repeated patterns of being stuck, the analysis reveals how the identity category of ethnicity/nationality as well as the notions of “Japaneseness,” “kyara,” and “school caste” rigidly function to territorialize youth, blocking possibilities for them to become otherwise.
