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. Your love sustained me throughout this process. -

University of South Carolina Upstate
University of South Carolina Upstate Commencement Exercises May 2, 2017 Academic Traditions The Processions Our commencement exercises will begin with an academic procession to the platform, a tradition dating to the great medieval universities of England. The audience is asked to rise when the processional begins and remain standing for the invocation. At the close of the ceremony, the audience is asked to stand and join in singing the first verse of the Alma Mater and remain standing in place for the benediction and the recessional. The music for the recessional is another academic tradition,Gaudeamus Igitur (“Let Us Rejoice”). The song originated in the German universities as a celebration of the joy of learning experienced by a university community of faculty, students, staff, alumni, and friends. Caps, Gowns, and Tassels The pageantry of an academic procession includes various customs of academic attire. The cap is traditionally a mortarboard with tassel, the color of which denotes the academic discipline in which the degree was earned. For instance, those earning bachelor of arts degrees wear white, golden yellow for bachelor of science degrees, drab for bachelor of science degrees in business administration, light blue for bachelor of arts and bachelor of science degrees in education, and apricot for bachelor of science degrees in nursing. Hoods The hood represents the institution from which the wearer earned his or her advanced degree and also indicates the academic discipline in which the degree was earned. The length of the hood for the master’s degree is three and a half feet. The length of the hood for the doctoral degree is four feet. -
