Listenership in Japanese Interaction: The Contributions of Laughter Ayako Namba A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Edinburgh 2010 Declaration I hereby declare that this thesis is of my own composition and that it contains no material submitted previously. Ayako Namba September 2010 i Abstract This thesis contributes to the body of research on listenership. It accomplishes this through an investigation of the functions of laughter in the listening behaviour of participants in Japanese interaction. The majority of studies concerning conversational interactions have focused on the role of the speaker rather than on that of the listener. Notable work on the listener's active role in conversation includes research done by Goffman (1981), Goodwin (1986) and Gardner (2001). Laughter research has shifted from an early interest in the causes of laughter to an interest in how it is organised and how it functions in conversational interaction. Despite many studies on listenership and laughter as distinct areas of research, there have been relatively few studies on how laughter contributes to listenership behaviour. In order to explore the relationship between listenership and laughter, I used a corpus of spoken interactional data. This data consists of conversations between Japanese participants (university students and teachers) who were asked to tell each other stories about a surprising moment that they had experienced. The corpus was constructed in such a way as to make it possible to compare (1) solidary (student-student) and non-solidary (student-teacher) interactions and (2) higher status story-teller (teacher telling student) and lower status story-teller (student telling teacher) interactions. Qualitative methods (drawing on a variety of techniques of discourse analysis) were used to discover laughter patterns and functions in relation to the role of the listener both at the micro-level and in relation to the macro-structure of the surprise story-telling. Quantitative methods were used to analyse the relationship between laughter patterns/functions and the above interaction types (solidary/non-solidary and lower status/higher status interactions). I found, firstly, at the micro-level of analysis, that the listener’s laughter contributed to the co-production of conversation through functions that included: responding/reacting, constituting and maintaining. There were two patterns of the listener’s laughter that were motivated by the speaker’s laughter invitation: acceptance, and declination. Acceptance involved the functions of responding/reacting or constituting, with the listener’s laughter functioning to support mutual understanding and bonding between the participants. Declination could be related to signal the listener’s lack of support for the speaker, however, the listener used the third option, the ambivalence. This shows that despite the absence of laughter, a verbal acknowledgement or understanding response was alternatively used. In a problematic situation, the listener’s laughter was found to reveal the listener’s third contribution: the maintaining function, helping to resolve an ongoing interactional problem. ii At the macro-level of analysis, based on the three phases in a surprise story, I found that laughter played a key role at phase boundaries (1st: preface/telling; 2nd: telling/response; and 3rd: response/next topic). The laughter patterns and functions appeared in each boundary. The acceptance pattern was more frequent than other patterns in all of the boundaries. The responding/reacting and constituting functions mainly appeared in the acceptance. The patterns of laughter in a trouble context were rare because they only appeared in a trouble context. The maintaining function in such a context also occasionally occurred in order to repair the trouble situation. Looking at laughter in relation to the different interaction types, I found, lastly, that the solidary dyads tended to demonstrate acceptance (constituting the responding/reacting and constituting functions), while the non-solidary dyads had a greater tendency to show declination. In addition, the lower-ranked listeners tended to show ambivalence, while the higher-ranked listeners tended to be more flexible in showing either acceptance or declination. These findings suggest the existence of a relationship between laughter patterns/functions and politeness: a higher degree of solidarity and a lower degree of status can influence the display of acceptance patterns/functions and listenership behaviour; a lower degree of solidarity and a higher degree of status can indicate flexibility when choosing a response type. In a trouble situation, laughter in its various patterns/functions was used in all interaction types to recover resolutions to any impediments in the ongoing engagement. All in all, I found that laughter contributes to listenership, both through supporting affiliation and through helping to resolve ‘trouble’ situations. I showed how listenership expressed through laughter plays a role in negotiating, creating, and maintaining the relationship between the self and the other in mutual interactions. As implications, I finally indicated that such laughter activities as the display of listenership could be closely connected to the Japanese communication style. iii Acknowledgements This piece of work could never have been completed without the help of numerous people across Scotland and Japan. This work is a project supported by many loving people in Edinburgh, Tokyo, Kobe and Okayama, my home town. My heartfelt gratitude goes to my co-supervisors, Hugh Trappes-Lomax and Joseph Gafaranaga. Both individuals offered immense support throughout my entire student life in Edinburgh, and especially over the long distance between Edinburgh and Tokyo. Throughout my research, numerous meetings were filled with precious and delightful moments of academic learning. I thank them for their human kindness and enthusiasm: without them, I would not be here. No words can express my gratitude to Hugh Trappes-Lomax. He provided me with academic knowledge, wisdom and humour. His supervision taught me a great deal about academic pursuits and daily living, while his positive attitude always encouraged me to continue developing my research. I am also deeply grateful to Joseph Gafaranga. He taught me the fundamentals of data analysis and encouraged my critical thinking throughout the project. He always pushed me to go forward in my study. I owe a great deal to his time and patience. My gratitude extends as well to other academic scholars — individuals who provided me with thoughtful and supportive feedback throughout my study. I thank Liz Holt, my external examiner, who offered important perspectives on laughter studies. I thank Joan Cutting, my internal examiner, who organised my viva and supported me up to the moment of submission. I would like to thank Erik Shleef, Miriam Meyerhoff, and Sotaro Kita for offering comments and suggestions in the earliest stages of writing my thesis. I am also greatly thankful to Kristin Cook who kept proofreading my drafts from the first to last stages of thesis writing. I would like to offer special thanks to the Rotary Foundation for supporting my life in Edinburgh. Without its generous financial support, I would have never been able to study abroad.

  • The Influence of Mother Tongue on Young Children's Rhythmic Behaviour in Singing
    The influence of mother tongue on young children’s rhythmic behaviour in singing Nozomi Azechi Institute of Education, UCL CCM/Music, PhD course 1 Declaration I, Nozomi Azechi confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract Singing and speaking are closely allied to one other. They are both produced by the same anatomical structures within the human body, although the coordination with the neuroanatomy is differentiated between speech and song. For the young child, existing literature suggests that the border between singing and speaking is opaque, at least in the early years of human life. In order to understand the relationship (if any) between mother tongue in speech and children’s singing, a series of empirical studies was undertaken. In the first of these, a specialist rhythmic and linguistic analysis tool (nPVI) was applied to participant three- to five-year-old Japanese and English children’s singing of well-known songs. Two subsequent studies explored (2) the rhythmic basis of Japanese and English children’s printed song materials and (3) adults’ hand clapping of their remembered children’s songs from their childhood. Data analyses revealed that children’s singing development appears to be influenced in two dimensions by their mother tongue. One is through a direct influence of the mother tongue’s underlying rhythm (a distinctive characteristic of spoken language), and the other is an influence from the rhythm of the song materials that are common in the home culture.

  • Reconstruction, the Urakami Catholics, and Atomic Memory, 1945-1970
    Resurrecting Nagasaki: Reconstruction, the Urakami Catholics, and Atomic Memory, 1945-1970 Chad R. Diehl Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2011 © 2011 Chad Diehl All rights reserved. ABSTRACT Resurrecting Nagasaki Chad Diehl This dissertation traces the reconstruction of Nagasaki City after the atomic bombing of August 9, 1945 by concentrating on politics and religion. It follows the various people and groups who contributed to the city's rise from the ashes and shaped its image in Japan and the world. In contrast to Hiroshima, Nagasaki did not make its atomic tragedy the dominant theme of its postwar image, and instead strove to rebuild the city in the light of its past as a center of international trade and culture. The most influential group advocating the focus on "international culture" during the early postwar period was the Roman Catholic community of the northern Urakami Valley, which was ground zero. Although Hiroshima became synonymous with the atomic bomb in national and international discourse, Nagasaki followed its own path, one that illuminates the relationship between mass destruction, city history, religion, and historical remembrance. It is a story that sheds a different light on the atomic bombings and their aftermath, not only in comparison with Hiroshima but with other cities destroyed by area bombing and the course of their subsequent reconstruction.

Eiko Kadono lost her mother when she was fve. Be- fore long the Pacifc War started, so she had to be evacuated to the northern side of Japan at 10 years old. The experience of war as a child is at the root of Kadono’s deep commitment to peace and hapiness. She studied American literature at Waseda University, after graduation she worked at a publisher. After marriage she accompanied her hasband to Brazil and lived in San Paulo for two years. On the long voyage to and from Brazil, she was able to broaden her knowledge about the varied countries. These experiences brought up her curious and multicultural attitude toward creative activity. Her frst book was published in 1970, since then she pub- lished about 250 books, and these were translated into 10 languages. Kadono says “to start reading a book is like opening a door to a different world. It doesn’t close at the end of the story, another door is always wait- ing there to be opened. People will start to look at the world in a different way after reading a story, and it’s the beginning in a sense. And I think that is the true pleasure of reading.

  • Japanese Youth and Popular Songs
    . Volume 9, Issue 2 November 2012 ‘Simple unchanging stories about things we already know’: Japanese youth and popular songs Rafal Zaborowski, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK Summary In Japan’s current transformational times, questions of music audiences intersect closely with issues of youth and social change, suggesting the need to extend the otherwise scant studies of Japanese youth’s music engagements for audience and media studies in general. This article frames new empirical data about popular songs and their interpretations within the social context of contemporary Japan. By combining focus groups, individual interviews and content analysis, I observe that among different tastes and genre particularities, common patterns can be recognized in audience engagements with song lyrics. The first underlines a clear-cut division between the concepts of ‘school’ and ‘work’. The second contrasts the stagnancy in gender stereotypes in lyrics with richness of audiences’ interpretations of the content. The last introduces ‘ordinariness’ as significant in young audience’s perception of songs. All three themes interconnect, presenting Japanese audiences as a potentially insightful subject for further empirical audience studies of popular music. Keywords: audiences, youth, popular music, modern Japan, song lyrics, focus groups, content analysis. Introduction and background This article is part of a wider study (Zaborowski 2010) that focused on Japanese hit song lyrics, and on the ways young audiences engage with them. Through empirical data, it argues that among different ways song lyrics are consumed by young Japanese, some common patterns linking the content of popular songs to their audiences’ lives can be recognized. Three such patterns are introduced in the article.

  • Nagasaki's Atomic Bomb Memory and Politics
    GOD AND THE ATOMIC BOMB: NAGASAKI’S ATOMIC BOMB MEMORY AND POLITICS OF SACRIFICE, FORGIVENESS AND RECONCILIATION by Tomoe Otsuki A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Social Justice Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Tomoe Otsuki (2016) GOD AND THE ATOMIC BOMB: NAGASAKI’S ATOMIC BOMB MEMORY AND POLITICS OF SACRIFICE, FORGIVENESS AND RECONCILIATION Doctor of Philosophy (2016) Tomoe Otsuki Department of Social Justice Education University of Toronto Abstract There is very little doubt that Hiroshima has become a testament to the destructive capacity of mankind over the last seven decades. Many influential world leaders have visited Hiroshima, pledging themselves to the project of eternal peace. However, very few of them have ever extended their trip to the second atomic bomb city Nagasaki. Likewise, the existing literature and media representations of the atomic bombing of Japan invariably views Japan’s atomic experience through a “Hiroshima first” optic. Studies devoted to the experience of Nagasaki are scarce even within Japan. If Nagasaki is considered at all within the context of these studies, its trauma and its historical significance are assumed to be identical to, or contained within that of Hiroshima. As Greg Mitchell, an American journalist and writer, observed: “no one ever wrote a bestselling novel called Nagasaki or directed a film entitled Nagasaki, Mon Amour.” Nagasaki has been the “forgotten atomic bomb city” (Mitchell, August 9, 2011). My dissertation critically inquires the conception of “forgotten atomic bomb city,” and explores what can account for Nagasaki’s self-effacing attitude from the remembrance of the atomic bomb memory and history and how Nagasaki has become overshadowed by Hiroshima’s powerful symbolism of the nuclear age over the last decades.

Patterson Dissertation Committee: Mark McNally, Chairperson James Kraft Christine Yano Jun Yoo Nobuko Ochner For Takako, Matthew, Erin, Charles and Judy I Acknowledgements: I would like to thank my dissertation committee: Mark McNally, James Kraft, Christine Yano, Jun Yoo, and Nobuko Ochner for their patience, encouragement and support. I also want to thank Deborah Forbis for her encouragement and willingness to read and re-read for stylistic errors, and to my colleagues Cynthia Smith and David Panisnick for their support. Thanks also to my parents, who have encouraged me all along. Without these people this dissertation would not have come into existence. Any errors are, of course, solely my responsibility and no doubt occurred in spite of all of the assistance mentioned above. Last, and most important, I wish to thank Takako Patterson, a most valued critic and my inspiration. II Abstract Composer Nakayama Shimpei (1887-1952) wrote more than 300 popular songs in his lifetime. Most are still well known and recorded regularly. An entrepreneur, he found ways to create popular songs that powered Japan’s nascent recording industry in the 1920s and 1930s. An artist, his combination of Japanese and Western musical styles and tropes appealed to Japanese sentiments in a way that not only reflected the historical and social context, but anticipated and explained those historical changes to his listeners.

  • Changes in a Changeless World
    Changes in a Changeless World Continuity and Discontinuity in Japanese Enka Music Gaute Hellås Master thesis in JAP4591 (60 credits) Asian and African Studies – Japanese Department of Cultural Studies and Oriental Languages UNIVERSITY OF OSLO Spring 2012 ii Changes in a Changeless World Continuity and Discontinuity in Japanese Enka Music iv © Gaute Hellås 2012 Changes in a changeless world: continuity and discontinuity in Japanese enka music Gaute Hellås http://www.duo.uio.no/ Print: Reprosentralen, University of Oslo v Abstract This thesis seeks to investigate changes and continuity in the Japanese musical genre enka. Enka is a form of sentimental ballad music which is said to sing the heart/soul of Japan. An enka song is made to sound very traditional, yet the genre in itself is not that old. The genre was invented during the 1960s, and no song which matches the characteristics of the genre was released before the mid-1950s. Since the songs in the enka genre are made to sound traditional, both on a musical and textual level, it is hard to image that any changes to the genre would have occurred during its lifespan. When one listens to an enka song, this sentiment seem to hold true, since the songs sound old-fashioned, which is fitting for a genre which mostly appeals to an older audience. Nevertheless, as is the case with most forms of art, it is likely that enka songs have been influenced by the time they are written and released in. Furthermore, since Japanese society has gone through tremendous changes since the 1950s, it is hard to imagine that the enka genre has stayed as static as it may seem at first glance.
