  • Symposium: Politics of Nostalgia: Populism, Branding and Nation-State, Kanazawa, Japan (12 October 2019)
    H-Asia Symposium: Politics of Nostalgia: Populism, Branding and Nation-State, Kanazawa, Japan (12 October 2019) Discussion published by Ryoko Nakano on Monday, August 26, 2019 Dear All, I would like to invite you to participate in the one-day International Symposium “Politics of Nostalgia: Populism, Branding and Nation-State,” which will be held in the upcoming autumn in Kanazawa, Japan. Date: 12 October 2019 Time: 10:20-17:00 Venue: Kanazawa Chamber of Commerce and Industry Admission free. In the surge of populist movements in Europe and the US, the use of myths and historical memory is rampant. Nostalgia, a sentimental feeling and yearning for a return to the past, is a powerful tool to redefine who we are and where we come from. This symposium brings together a dynamic and diverse group of scholars from Singapore, China, South Korea, and Japan to explore how nostalgia is used in different social and political contexts, and more specifically, how various actors aim to develop and use a shared nostalgic sentiment among the people, and what kind of problems and opportunities will arise in this process. Session 1: Environment/Tourism Wilderness and Satoyama: Politics of National Landscape Masami Yuki (Professor, Kanazawa University) Tourism: Globalization's Poison Pill Chris McMorran (Associate Professor, National University of Singapore) Moderator: Timo Thelen (Associate Professor, Kanazawa University) Session 2: Heritage and Food Branding “China's Famous Hundred Year Old Brand” — State Sponsored Nostalgia in China's Food Retail Market Thomas David DuBois (Visiting Senior Research Fellow, Fudan University) Shumai: Problems of National Identity and Branding a Local Product in Yokohama, Japan Rob Eskildsen (Professor, International Christian University) Rebuilding Global Japan in the Shadow of Meiji: Industrial Heritage Branding Ryoko Nakano (Professor, Kanazawa University) Moderator: Tatsuya Koizumi (Associate Professor, Kanazawa University) Citation: Ryoko Nakano.
