ABSTRACT Science and technology have been paramount features of any modernized nation. In Japan they played an important role in the modernization and militarization of the nation, as well as its democratization and subsequent economic growth. Science and technology highlight the promises of a better tomorrow and future utopia, but their application can also present ethical issues. In fiction, they have historically played a significant role. Fictions of science continue to exert power via important multimedia platforms for considerations of the role of science and technology in our world. And, because of their importance for the development, ideologies and policies of any nation, these considerations can be correlated with the deliberation of the role of a nation in the world, including its internal and external images and imaginings.

    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.

  • Contrasting Volcano Spacing Along SW Japan Arc Caused by Difference
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Contrasting volcano spacing along SW Japan arc caused by diference in age of subducting lithosphere Yoshiyuki Tatsumi1,2*, Nobuaki Suenaga3, Shoichi Yoshioka2,3, Katsuya Kaneko 1,2 & Takumi Matsumoto4 The SW Japan arc built by subduction of the Philippine Sea (PHS) plate exhibits uneven distribution of volcanoes: thirteen Quaternary composite volcanoes form in the western half of this arc, Kyushu Island, while only two in the eastern half, Chugoku district. Reconstruction of the PHS plate back to 14 Ma, together with examinations based on thermal structure models constrained by high- density heat fow data and a petrological model for dehydration reactions suggest that fuids are discharged actively at depths of 90–100 km in the hydrous layer at the top of the old (> 50 Ma), hence, cold lithosphere sinking beneath Kyushu Island. In contrast, the young (15–25 Ma) oceanic crust downgoing beneath Chugoku district releases fuids largely at shallower depths, i.e. beneath the non- volcanic forearc, to cause characteristic tectonic tremors and low-frequency earthquakes (LFEs) and be the source of specifc brine springs. Much larger amounts of fuids supplied to the magma source region in the western SW Japan arc could build more densely-distributed volcanoes. Subduction zone volcanoes tend to exhibit regular spacing along a volcanic arc, although the spacing of volcanoes within individual arcs is ofen variable from arc to arc1, 2. A broad positive correlation between the linear density of active volcanoes and the rate of plate convergence suggests that the faster subduction contributes to greater melt production in the mantle wedge3–5.

  • Softening Power: Cuteness As Organizational Communication Strategy in Japan and the West
    © 2018 Journal of International and Advanced Japanese Studies Vol. 10, February 2018, pp. 39-55 Master’s and Doctoral Programs in International and Advanced Japanese Studies Iain MACPHERSON & Teri Jane BRYANT Graduate School of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Tsukuba Article Softening Power: Cuteness as Organizational Communication Strategy in Japan and the West Iain MACPHERSON MacEwan University, Faculty of Fine Arts and Communication, Assistant Professor Teri Jane BRYANT Haskayne School of Business, University of Calgary, Associate Professor Emerita This paper describes the use of cute communications (visual or verbal, and in various media) as an organizational communication strategy prevalent in Japan and emerging in western countries. Insights are offered for the use of such communications and for the understanding/critique thereof. It is first established that cuteness in Japan–kawaii–is chiefly studied as a sociocultural or psychological phenomenon, with too little analysis of its near-omnipresent institutionalization and conveyance as mass media. The following discussion clarifies one reason for this gap in research–the widespread conflation of ʻorganizational communication’ with advertising/branding, notwithstanding the variety of other messaging–public relations, employee communications, public service announcements, political campaigns–conveyed through cuteness by Japanese institutions. It is then argued that what few theorizations exist of organizational kawaii communications overemphasize their negative aspects or potentials, attributing to them both too much iniquity and too much influence. Outside of Japan studies, there is even less up-to-date scholarship on organizational cuteness, critical or otherwise. And there are no such studies at all, whether focused on Japan or elsewhere, that integrate intercultural insights.

  • Phylogeography Reveals an Ancient Cryptic Radiation in East-Asian Tree
    Dufresnes et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology (2016) 16:253 DOI 10.1186/s12862-016-0814-x RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Phylogeography reveals an ancient cryptic radiation in East-Asian tree frogs (Hyla japonica group) and complex relationships between continental and island lineages Christophe Dufresnes1, Spartak N. Litvinchuk2, Amaël Borzée3,4, Yikweon Jang4, Jia-Tang Li5, Ikuo Miura6, Nicolas Perrin1 and Matthias Stöck7,8* Abstract Background: In contrast to the Western Palearctic and Nearctic biogeographic regions, the phylogeography of Eastern-Palearctic terrestrial vertebrates has received relatively little attention. In East Asia, tectonic events, along with Pleistocene climatic conditions, likely affected species distribution and diversity, especially through their impact on sea levels and the consequent opening and closing of land-bridges between Eurasia and the Japanese Archipelago. To better understand these effects, we sequenced mitochondrial and nuclear markers to determine phylogeographic patterns in East-Asian tree frogs, with a particular focus on the widespread H. japonica. Results: We document several cryptic lineages within the currently recognized H. japonica populations, including two main clades of Late Miocene divergence (~5 Mya). One occurs on the northeastern Japanese Archipelago (Honshu and Hokkaido) and the Russian Far-East islands (Kunashir and Sakhalin), and the second one inhabits the remaining range, comprising southwestern Japan, the Korean Peninsula, Transiberian China, Russia and Mongolia. Each clade further features strong allopatric Plio-Pleistocene subdivisions (~2-3 Mya), especially among continental and southwestern Japanese tree frog populations. Combined with paleo-climate-based distribution models, the molecular data allowed the identification of Pleistocene glacial refugia and continental routes of postglacial recolonization. Phylogenetic reconstructions further supported genetic homogeneity between the Korean H.

  • Giving Birth to a Rich Nation and Strong Soldiers: Midwives and Nation Building in Japan Between the Meiji Period and the 1940S
    Giving Birth to a Rich Nation and Strong Soldiers: Midwives and Nation Building in Japan between the Meiji Period and the 1940s. Aya Homei Centre for the History of Science, Technology and Medicine, University of Manchester A paper for the Joint Princeton-Columbia Graduate Student Workshop (National Identity and Public Policy in Comparative Perspective) Princeton, September 29 - October 1, 2000 Introduction In 1916, in the midwifery journal Josan no Shiori Takatsuji published an article titled “Shin-shin no Kaizen wa Kokka Hukyo no Soseki nari (Improvement of spirit and body is a foundation for a rich and strong nation). From the Meiji period onwards Japan had been actively searching for the means to modernize the country, exemplified by the slogan hukoku kyohei (rich nation, strong soldiers). As part of this scheme, western medicine was vigorously examined and implemented in national policies. Simultaneously high mortality and need of human resources for the nationalistic cause (in the emerging industry in the Meiji period and in the sphere of military) made midwives a target for medicalization. Thus once midwives were medicalized through professionalization they were expected to play a central role in making the country fit for war in the industrial age. Especially during the 1930s and 1940s when countless regulations on population issues as well as maternal and infant protection were enacted (and not coincidentally another slogan umeyo huyaseyo, “give birth and multiply,” was promoted), midwives’ role appeared paramountly important. This essay deals with ways in which the birth attendants professionalized and at the same time acted as agents of liaison between the government who attempted to transport the gospel of hygiene (including racial hygiene) and the homes of Japan.
