Ching, Outside Member, Duke University, Department of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies Aaron A. Gerow, Outside Member, Yale University, Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures This dissertation is accepted by the Graduate School Nancy Goroff Interim Dean of the Graduate School ii Abstract of the Dissertation Mediating Trans/nationalism: Japanese ‘Jun’ai’ (Pure-Love) in Popular Media Representations by I-Te Rita Sung Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature Stony Brook University 2016 Since the beginning of the 21st century, the jun’ai (pure-love) genre has flourished in Japan, both in works of popular literature and in film. This phenomenon coincides with a time when the country is seen by the media as being characterized by soshitsukan (sense of loss). In jun’ai films, the heroine is often the object of loss. This theme of loss in jun’ai therefore resonates with the Japanese social context, but this connection has not yet been fully elucidated. In this dissertation, I seek to explain why Japanese women, who are arguably treated as “other” within Japan, embody a transnationalism that is often controlled and restrained for the sake of maintaining a cohesive Japanese national identification. I examine a group of 21st-century Japanese and Taiwanese films that feature a jun’ai sentiment between the heroine and the male protagonist, arguing that the jun’ai sentiment shows a gap between the transnational imagination that individuals aspire to, and a national ideology that manages to bind subjects to the status quo. Jun’ai, as a subgenre of romance, is used as a national allegory for such purpose. To explain how the roles of jun’ai heroines are used to recuperate national identification, I also analyze the concurrent trend of transnational adaptations of Audrey Hepburn’s child-woman persona in television dramas and OL (office lady) fashion magazines, which have popularized a local version of “otona-kawaii” (adult-cute) women in Japan. In these media representations, women’s “foreignness” is controlled through the expression of pure-love and the image of women as “evolving” subjects who are capable of adapting to circumstances and mature through the process. Finally, in order to further explore the transnational potential of the genre, I examine the ways in which jun’ai is used as a national discourse in Taiwan. iii Dedication I dedicate this dissertation to my father, Kung-ziao Henry Sung (1948-2014), who would be very happy and proud to learn about the completion of this dissertation. iv Table of Contents Introduction: 1 Jun’ai pathos: A domestic sentiment of loss 2 Crying out love in the center of the world in Japan 10 Purity as a guideline of love 22 Kokusaika (internationalization) and Soshitsukan (Sense of Loss) in 29 Japan’s ‘Lost Decade’ Japan’s sense of loss versus foreign abundance 33 Chapter Descriptions 42 Chapter 46 Women as Pure Love-Objects in “Jun’ai” (Pure-Love) Films One: The sacrificial postures of jun’ai heroines 46 Gendered transnationalism in times of kokusaika (internationalization) 60 Striving to be pure: Japan’s trans/nationalism as an internal struggle 68 Conclusion 75 Chapter 78 “Jun’ai” (Pure-Love) and Amae: The Ambivalent Desire to Love Two: Jun’ai as Amae as “Primary Love” 82 Sayonara Itsuka: Ambivalent love in an age of internationalization 97 A Collaborated Monologue: Calmi Cuori Appassionati and Tokyo 105 Tower Women’s sacrificed presence in domestic transnationalism 109 Conclusion: The sense of loss produced in asymmetrical 114 Internationalism Chapter Trans/national (Dis)connections: Audrey Hepburn and the Re- 118 Three: Making of “Otona-Kawaii” (Adult-Cute) Child-Women in Japanese Popular Media Audrey Hepburn’s child-woman archetype and the Cinderella motif 121 Adaptations of Hepburn’s Cinderella motif in 21st century Japanese 130 television dramas v The otona-kawaii phenomenon in fashion magazines 138 A domestic turn of Japanese otona-kawaii women in romantic 154 television dramas Conclusion 156 Chapter Overcoming the Orphan Complex: Taiwanese Cinema and its 158 Four: Japanese Lover in the Post-Millennium Transcending the Orphan Complex 163 Boosting Taiwanese identity by increasing local visibility 175 A transnational consciousness based on assimilating local differences 179 Building a context-based transnational consciousness 183 Conclusion 189 Conclusion: 192 Jun’ai in the transnational field 197 Bibliography 205 vi List of Figures Still 1.

Spider Lilies 186 vii Acknowledgments One of my friends, who is a psychology major, once said, “You can know your classmates’ “dark side” simply by reading the title of their dissertations.” I suppose the same inference could be made for a dissertation written in the field of comparative literature and cultural studies. This dissertation is about love and transnationalism realized at the personal level. To some extent, it is inspired by my own search for the meaning of love, life, and the pursuit of knowledge in day-to- day existence. As my research and writing come together in the form of this dissertation, I realize I have been truly blessed with the luxury to invest years of efforts in this pursuit with the help of so many people without whom the completion of this work would simply have been impossible. It is to my supervisors, Professor E. Ann Kaplan and Professor Krin Gabbard, that I owe my deepest gratitude to. They have demonstrated to me what an academic advisor and mentor should be; throughout the prolonged process of my writing, they have given me their unyielding trust and utmost patience, reading every page, going through multiple revisions of my manuscripts, and promptly offering me concrete suggestions to clarify my argument. Their careful, responsive attitude toward my work has helped me harness my writing in a scholarly fashion, and their comments and encouragements have always fueled my verve to complete the work. Since my research involves cross-disciplinary themes in the field of Japanese studies—a field that our program does not have specific faculty for—I am especially thankful for Professor Kaplan’s support and guidance along the way. Her keenness in argumentation and enthusiasm for the pursuit of knowledge have taught me a great deal and motivated me to become a scholar. I am eternally grateful to my two external committee members: Professor Aaron Gerow and Professor Leo Ching. They have devoted a tremendous amount of time and effort reading through my manuscripts, offering me insightful comments, and directing me to the core materials for my research. In both written communications and during the oral defense, they have specifically pointed out ideas to develop for future study, and their encouraging comments on my work have boosted my confidence to advance my research. Their expertise and generosity in mentoring me will always be remembered and cherished. I also want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the chair of my oral defense, Professor Jeffrey Santa Ana. During the process of preparing for my comprehensive exam and dissertation prospectus, Professor Santa Ana managed to discuss a great number of the texts with me. During those discussions, he always listened to my opinion and helped me develop my ideas into a well- rounded academic argument that I could continue to explore. I also want to thank Professor E.K. Tan, who introduced me to inter-Asia cultural studies when I first entered the program. I could never thank them enough for all the kind guidance they have offered. Professor Iwabuchi Koichi at the School of International Liberal Studies at Waseda University, Tokyo, kindly agreed to be affiliated with me while I served as a Japanese Studies fellow under the Japan Foundation to conduct doctoral dissertation research in 2012. During my year-long stay, Professor Iwabuchi invited me to attend the academic conference he organized and never failed to encourage me to develop my academic research into working papers. His viii works in inter-Asia and popular media studies have inspired me in shaping my own research. Therefore, I am greatly indebted to the Japan Foundation for providing me with this opportunity to study, observe, and do research in Japan. I have been extremely fortunate to have Julie Bellemare, who is a Ph.D. student in Asian Art, as my copyeditor. Julie is patient, meticulous, and punctual as an editor, besides being well- versed in multiple languages and cultures. She has witnessed how this dissertation evolved from its rawest to its final form. Her contribution to its development has been immense. Numerous friends and acquaintances have unfailingly encouraged and supported me emotionally to complete this dissertation, which include the dissertation writing group composed of my Stony Brook pals—Beth, Evren, Joana and Claire, and the discussion group I formed with Inin Chu.

Yoshi Oida est un acteur hors du commun. Né à Kobe en 1933, il a dédié sa vie aux théâtres du monde entier, en ayant pour seule ligne de conduite de renoncer à la facilité. Son apprentissage commence au Japon : il est initié au théâtre Nô par les plus grands maîtres de l’école Okura. De cette expérience, il retirera l’importance de l’harmonie entre tous les éléments qui constituent l’outil principal du comédien : son corps. Puis en 1968 Yoshi Oida est invité à Paris par Jean-Louis Barrault pour travailler avec Peter Brook. Il fonde avec ce dernier le Centre International de Recherche Théâtrale (CIRT). Au contact du « magicien du théâtre européen », il apprend que le comédien doit être « un vent léger, qui devenant de plus en plus fort, doit allumer une flamme et la faire grandir ». Aux côtés du maître, il apprend également la mise en scène, métier qui l’occupe énormément aujourd’hui. Il sillonne alors le monde à la recherche de la maîtrise théâtrale la plus complète, apprenant les jeux Africains, Indien, Persan. Il s’interroge sur la frontière entre la scène et la vie de tous les jours : « Qu’ai-je appris sur la scène qui pourrait m’aider à vivre ma vie d’homme ordinaire ? ».

The phenomena of NEET/Hikikomori (occupational/social withdrawal) have attracted global attention in recent years. Though the behavioral symptoms of NEET and Hikikomori can be differentiated, some commonalities in psychological features can be found.

    松山大学論集 第31巻第1号抜刷 2019年4月発行 How Intercultural Experiences Created Identities of Returnees : A Comparison of kikokushijo in the Taishou, Showa and Heisei eras Kaori Ono How Intercultural Experiences Created Identities of Returnees : A Comparison of kikokushijo in the Taishou, Showa and Heisei eras Kaori Ono 228 松山大学論集 第31巻 第1号 1．Introduction Increased mobility across countries and cultures has led to a global rise in the number of sojourning children（Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, 2016）. With this change, identity negotiation of the so-called kikokushijos warrants more attention. In Japan, most of the research on sojourning children has focused on challenges encountered by kikokushijos quite extensively （Ichikawa, 2004; Kanno, 2003; Kidder, 1992; Mcdonald, 1995/2011; Miyaji, 1985;Osawa,1986; Podalsky, 2009; Pollack & Reken, 2001/2009; Sueda2012）, in contrast, the dynamics of a successful reentry and the emotional factors these children experience when they transfer between schools with different cultural backgrounds during their developmental years has not received due attention. This study sought to fill this gap since a clearer understanding of this process will assist Japanese communities that accept kikokushijos to help their repatriation better. 2．Literature Review 2．1 Introduction To better understand the issues of kikokushijo［returnees］living in Japan, this paper will begin by first introducing empirical studies of cross-cultural values frequently referenced in the field of intercultural relations. Next, the term kikokushijo will be defined and the literature on previous studies of returnees will be examined. 2．2 Theories on the Adjustment of Individuals in Intercultural Contexts Berry’s acculturation model1）（Berry, 2005）explains the processes by which an individual either goes through cultural and psychological changes in an intercultural setting or actively resists such change.

    LANGUAGE LEARNERS’ BELIEFS: DEVELOPMENT AND CHANGE A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Education By Sakae Suzuki May, 2012 Examining Committee Members Marshall Childs, Advisory Chair, TESOL/CITE David Beglar, TESOL/CITE Mark Sawyer, External Member, Kwansai Gakuin University Tim Murphey, External Member, Kanda University of International Studies Masako Sakamoto, External Member, Bunka Gakuen University © Copyright 2012 by Sakae Suzuki iii ABSTRACT This longitudinal study was designed to provide an orderly account of how beliefs about English language learning develop among seven Japanese high school students, identify beliefs that are beneficial and interfering for language learning and the routes by which these beliefs are reached, and identify belief changes and their sources. Beliefs are defined as a cognitive representation about self and the world. They are situated in experiences and social context. Learner beliefs pertain to many aspects of language learning and come from multiple sources, including educational background, experience living overseas, peers, teachers, and persons met in chance encounters. The data for the study were collected from seven students attending a Japanese public high school. Beginning when the students were first-year high school students (10th graders), the data, which were drawn from in-depth interviews, journals, written reports, observations, and school records, form a qualitative multiple-case-study. Data gathering ended when the students chose a university in the third year of high school. There were five major findings. First, learners develop and modify their beliefs based on their life experiences inside and outside the classroom.
