  • Modemagazine in Japan
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Saitama University Cyber Repository of Academic Resources Fȱውɨ ዄĞ༳ʧૡዅȱۀÏŹƂʧ͗ Modemagazine in Japan Lars Bertramb Modemagazine sind neben der Vermittlung von Trends auch ein Gradmesser für die kulturelle Entwicklung einer Gesellschaft, da sich die individuelle Freiheit in der modischen Ausdrucksform widerspiegelt. Diese setzte erst gegen Ende des neunzehnten Jahrhunderts allmählich ein. In dieser Zeit wurden auch die heute noch führenden westlichen Modezeitschriften wie die amerikanische Harper`s BAZAAR (1867) oder die Vouge (1893) herausgebracht. Die Bandbreite der japanischen Modezeitschriften wird neben den großen Standardtiteln von vielen Trendmagazinen beherrscht, die nicht selten mit einer zoku (Ŧ) bzw. Subkultur in Verbindung stehen wie z. B. an-an oder non-no. Daneben gibt es Zeitschriften, die lediglich als roter Faden durch den Markenwald führen und den Kunden über neue Geschäfte, Produkte oder Modenschauen auf dem Laufenden halten. Die wichtigsten Magazine Als erste Modezeitschrift in Japan wurde 1936 von der Modeschule Bunka das Magazin Sōen herausgegeben, das die neueste Mode aus dem Westen vorstellte. Das Konzept war (ˎٍ) jedoch nur auf eine modeinteressierte weibliche Kundschaft ausgerichtet und diente mit ausführlichen Schnittmusterbögen hauptsächlich als Anleitungsheft zum Schneidern. Die ersten reinen Männermagazine kamen erst in den fünfziger Jahren mit Danshisenka (ɵʖ̞ Ŕ) und Men´s Club an die Kioske. Unter den anspruchsvolleren Magazinen, die neben Mode auch Kunst und japanische Tradition vorstellen, hat die 1958 gegründete Zeitschrift Kateigahō (˥°ɹî) Pionierarbeit geleistet. Das eigentliche Zeitalter der Modemagazine begann jedoch in den siebziger Jahren, als die auch heute noch beliebten und führenden Frauenmagazine wie non-no und an-an herauskamen.

  • 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

  • Kapitel II. Funktionen Und Formen Der Japanischen Werbung
    69 Kapitel II. Funktionen und Formen der japanischen Werbung 1. Die japanische Medienlandschaft Die japanischen Medien stellen als Bestandteil der Kommunikationskette Werbetreibende – Werbeindustrie – Werbemedien – Verbraucher sozusagen die Mittlerfunktion dar. Ausgehend vom Laswellschen Kommunikationsparadigma sind die Werbeträger also Kommunikationskanäle, durch die Werbebotschaften den Empfänger erreichen sollen. Natürlich orientiert sich dieses Schema an der Wirkungsweise von Massenkommunikation und ist insofern nicht einfach auf die stark zunehmenden below the line-Werbeaktivitäten übertragbar, die durch eine stetig zunehmende Vielfalt anderer, neuer und meist individu- ellerer Kommunikationsmechanismen operieren. Dennoch ist die Bedeutung der Massen- medien für die großen Werbeunternehmen unbestritten: Das Beziehungsgeflecht zwischen Medien und Werbeindustrie ist eine Grundlage ihrer Markt- und Machtposition, die Media- Kommission stellt trotz zunehmender Diversifikation des Angebots nach wie vor einen wesentlichen Bestandteil ihrer Einkünfte dar. Dieser knappe Überblick soll als Hintergrund zu einer eher spezifischen Betrachtung der Medien als Werbeträger im folgenden Abschnitt dienen sowie als Grundlage des im Rahmen der Fallstudien vorgenommenen Vergleichs der Imagewerbung von Medienunter- nehmen. Angesichts der Fülle an Daten und Zahlen zu diesem Komplex beschränken sich die Ausführungen auf das Wesentlichste, wobei insbesondere die Hauptmerkmale von Zeitungen und Fernsehen im Mittelpunkt stehen. 1.1 Die Verbreitung von Massenmedien
