Aoyagi, Oration on Idology, Sophia University H-Japan LECTURE: Aoyagi, Oration on Idology, Sophia University Discussion published by Janet Goodwin on Thursday, June 5, 2014 Sophia University Institute of Comparative Culture presents Hiroshi Aoyagi on "An Oration on Idology" Location: Japan Lecture Date: 2014-06-13 (in 8 days) Date Submitted: 2014-05-28 Announcement ID: 214070 Sophia University Institute of Comparative Culture Lecture Series 2014 An Oration on Idology Hiroshi Aoyagi June 13, 2014 17:00-18:30 Room 10-301, 3F, Building 10, Yotsuya Campus, Sophia University In this talk, Aoyagi will provide an overview of “idology” (偶像学), which he initially developed as an ethnographic means to better comprehend the sociocultural mechanism of popular idolatry in contemporary Japan involving young, media-promoted personalities. Rather than directing the attention of audience to any particular aspect of pop idolatry or idol-pop (アイドルPOP), Aoyagi wishes to lay out an analytical foundation –on the basis of which he and his audience can together generate discussions on some points of socio-scientific interest. Motives and methods of idology will be demonstrated alongside the discipline’s epistemic goal to include popular cultural phenomena as a legitimate subject of investigation in symbolic anthropology. Hiroshi Aoyagi is a cultural anthropologist with ethnographic foci on Japanese- and relevant Asian popular cultures and mass societies. He currently holds a professor position in the School of Asia 21 of Kokushikan University in Tokyo, Japan. Aoyagi pioneered in the empirical study of Japanese pop idols, which he calls “idology,” and published Islands of Eight Million Smiles: Idol Performance and Symbolic Production in Contemporary Japan from Harvard Asia Center (2005).

  • Globalizing Architectural Education in Japan
    VIEWPOINT lobalizing Architectural G Education in Japan By Geeta MEHTA Author Geeta MEHTA Like other professionals, architects today work in the increasingly global world. Exciting opportunities for building and design in the medium and long term are increasing in the rapidly urbanizing countries of China, India and the Middle East. Architects are working in global practices in cross-cultural teams like never before. While Japanese design, sense of space, and attention to detail in traditional as well as contemporary architecture are admired around the world, architectural practice and the building industry have historically evolved here in a way unique to Japan. This article discusses the features of architectural practice in Japan that are different from those of other countries, and examines the opportunities in preparing Japanese students for the global opportunities today. Architecture straddles the disciplines of social sciences, engineer- ished product, and takes legal responsibility for it. However, in ing and art, and is best when it succeeds on all three fronts. A factor Japan it is customary for the architect to develop the project only up that sets apart architectural education in Japan from that in other to the concept or design development stage, and then hand it over to counties is the fact that all schools of architecture are under the fac- the general contractor who prepares the working drawings and ulty of engineering, so there is a strong engineering bias which influ- builds the project. The architect’s involvement after the design ences, and sometimes overshadows, architectural and urban design development stage is mostly in an advisory role.

Members of the JAEG come from a variety of backgrounds: geographers carrying out sectoral and regional studies in Japan and abroad; economists specializing in industrial location, regional economics, and regional policy theories; policy makers and analysts in local governments and think tanks; and geography teachers in primary and secondary schools. The JAEG is a national academic association which represents diverse theoretical and methodological approaches. The members of the JAEG conduct their research on industries and regions from diverse perspectives and are advancing empirical and theoretical research on themes such as industrial structural change, regional problems, regional policies, environmental problems, and globalization. The Association has currently 672 individual members and nine patronage members (as of May 25, 2018). The current President of the Association is Koji MATSUHASHI (Professor of Meiji University), following Kenji YAMAMOTO (Professor of Teikyo University and Professor Emeritus of Kyushu University, 2012-2017).
