I TEAM JAPAN: THEMES of 'JAPANESENESS' in MASS MEDIA
i TEAM JAPAN: THEMES OF ‘JAPANESENESS’ IN MASS MEDIA SPORTS NARRATIVES A Dissertation submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Michael Plugh July 2015 Examining Committee Members: Fabienne Darling-Wolf, Advisory Chair, Media and Communication Doctoral Program Nancy Morris, Media and Communication Doctoral Program John Campbell, Media and Communication Doctoral Program Lance Strate, External Member, Fordham University ii © Copyright 2015 by MichaelPlugh All Rights Reserved iii Abstract This dissertation concerns the reproduction and negotiation of Japanese national identity at the intersection between sports, media, and globalization. The research includes the analysis of newspaper coverage of the most significant sporting events in recent Japanese history, including the 2014 Koshien National High School Baseball Championships, the awarding of the People’s Honor Award, the 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup, wrestler Hakuho’s record breaking victories in the sumo ring, and the bidding process for the 2020 Olympic Games. 2054 Japanese language articles were examined by thematic analysis in order to identify the extent to which established themes of “Japaneseness” were reproduced or renegotiated in the coverage. The research contributes to a broader understanding of national identity negotiation by illustrating the manner in which established symbolic boundaries are reproduced in service of the nation, particularly via mass media. Furthermore, the manner in which change is negotiated through processes of assimilation and rejection was considered through the lens of hybridity theory. iv To my wife, Ari, and my children, Hiroto and Mia.

BA Ritgerð the Change of Tides
BA ritgerð Japanskt Mál og menning The Change of tides: The advent of non-nationals in Sumo Henry Fannar Clemmensen Leiðbeinandi Gunnella Þorgeirsdóttir September 2019 Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Japanskt mál og menning The Change of Tides: The advent of non-nationals in Sumo Ritgerð til B.A.-prófs Henry Fannar Clemmensen Kt.: 260294-3429 Leiðbeinandi: Gunnella Þorgeirsdóttir September 2019 1 Abstract Non-Japanese sumo wrestlers are common today, but that has not always been the case. For over a thousand years sumo tournaments were exclusively held by Japanese men, and up until the 1960s foreigners were almost unheard of in the professional sumo scene. As the world’s modernization and internationalization accelerated so did foreign interest in the National sport of sumo. Today the sport has spread to over 87 countries which have joined the International Sumo Federation. With an interest in professional sumo in Japan at an all-time low and with fewer wrestlers applying to stables than ever before, viewers of tournaments and media coverage of events has been decreasing, which is closely followed by western originated sports having overtaken sumo in popularity e.g. soccer and baseball. Yet the interest in sumo on an international scale has increased considerably. In which way has this rising internationalization affected the sumo world and the professional sumo world and how is it reflected in modern Japanese society, in what way did the wrestlers coming from overseas experience the sumo culture compared to how it is today? Today the sumo scene is largely dominated by Mongolian wrestlers, how did this come to pass and how has the society of Japan reacted to these changes. -

Du Rite Au Sport
From Rite to Sport 0 From Rite to Sport 1 From Rite to Sport 2 Introduction Au printemps 1854, le commodore Matthew C. Perry de la Marine des Etats-Unis parvint à signer un traité de commerce et d’amitié avec le shogunat du Japon, entrouvrant ainsi une porte sur un pays exotique jusque là demeuré résolument fermé au monde occidental, depuis deux siècles et demi d’isolement volontaire. Après la signature des concessions, un échange mutuel et raffiné de cadeaux eut lieu : la maison du traité dans le port de Yokohama fut emplie de délicates pièces de mobilier laqué, de soies et de riches broderies, de porcelaines, d’éventails et de boîtes à pipes. L’interprète japonais traduisit la longue liste des cadeaux en néerlandais, et un membre de l’équipage de Perry se chargea de retranscrire le tout en anglais. Alors que le commodore s’apprêtait à repartir, les officiels japonais lui signalèrent qu’il restait encore un article destiné au Président des Etats-Unis qui n’avait pas encore été présenté, et ils le conduisirent sur la plage, où plusieurs centaines d’immenses sacs de riz étaient entassés, prêts à être chargés à bord des bateaux américains. « Alors que je contemplais ces preuves concrètes de la générosité japonaise », note Francis L. Hawkes, chroniqueur officiel des expéditions de Perry, dans son rapport à destination du Congrès américain, rédigé deux ans plus tard, « l’attention de tout le monde fut soudainement attirée par une masse de corps d’hommes monstrueux, qui déambulaient sur la plage comme une horde d’éléphants. -
With God on Their Side
With God on their Side 'Sport' and 'religion' are cultural institutions with a global reach. Each is characterised by ritualised performance and by the ecstatic devotion of its followers, whether in the sports arena or the cathedral of worship. This fasci nating collection is the first to examine, in detail, the relationship between these two cultural institutions from an international, religiously pluralistic perspective. It illuminates the role of sport and religion in the social forma tion of collective groups and explores how sport might operate in the service of a religious community. The book offers a series of cutting-edge contemporary historical case studies, wide-ranging in their geographical coverage and in their social and religious contexts. It presents important new work on the following topics: • sport and Catholicism in Northern Ireland • Shinto and sumo in Japan • women, sport and American Jewish identity • religion, race and rugby in South Africa • sport and Islam in France and North Africa • sport and Christian fundamentalism in the US • Muhammad Ali and the Nation of Islam With God on their Side is vital reading for all students of the history, sociology and culture of sport. It also presents important new research material that will be of interest to religious studies students, historians and anthropologists.

Chandler is Associate Dean at the College of Fine and Professional Arts and Professor of Sport Studies in the School of Exercise, Leisure and Sport at Kent State University, USA. -
