Visions of the Future at the Japanese Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation
Visions of the Future at the Japanese Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Material Culture Michael Shea, BA (Hons) 1st September 2015 Department of Anthropology University College London Gower Street, London WC1E 6BT 91, 437 Words I, Michael Shea, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed: Date: _______________ 01/09/2015 MICHAEL SHEA 2 Abstract The purpose of this research is to critically assess how the future is conceived and presented in a contemporary Japanese science museum, based on ethnography conducted at the Miraikan National Institute of Emerging Science and Innovation in Odaiba, Tokyo. As a museum of the future the devices that Miraikan houses are often framed in terms of their potential uses. This means that the display strategies employed depend on utilizing conceptions of the future. By critically engaging with the visions of the future that are presented in the museum this research elucidates some of these underlying influences traceable to social and environmental concerns, and considers which among these are particular to the Japanese context, drawing on participant observation with volunteers and staff as well as academic literature concerning museum curatorship in Japan and elsewhere. The primary concern of this resesarch is the shifting relationship between technology and human labour, in which there is growing tendency to anthropomorphize machines set against the increasing mechanization of human behavior various contexts. This research seeks to demonstrate how the visions of the future on display at Miraikan can be seen as attempts to replace missing kinship relationships, or to reclaim ‘lost bodies’ in various ways.
