  • Mapping the Interior Frontier of Japanese Settlers in Colonial Korea
    The Journal of Asian Studies Vol. 70, No. 3 (August) 2011: 706–729. © The Association for Asian Studies, Inc., 2011 doi:10.1017/S0021911811000878 A Sentimental Journey: Mapping the Interior Frontier of Japanese Settlers in Colonial Korea JUN UCHIDA This article explores the role of affect and sentiment in shaping cross-cultural encounters in late colonial Korea, as seen and experienced through the eyes of Japanese men and women who grew up in Seoul. By interweaving the oral and written testimonies of former settlers who came of age on the peninsula between the late 1920s and the end of colonial rule in 1945, the paper attempts to reconstruct their emotional journey into adulthood as young offspring of empire: specifically, how they apprehended colonialism, what they felt when encountering different segments of the Korean population, and in what ways their understanding of the world and themselves changed as a result of these interactions. Focusing on the intimate and everyday zones of contact in family and school life, this study more broadly offers a way to understand colonialism without reducing complex local interactions to abstract mechanisms of capital and bureaucratic rule. N WHAT WAYS CAN we talk about colonialism without reducing complex local Ihuman interactions to relations of power, dominance, and hegemony? In pro- posing emotion (see Reddy 2001; Haiyan Lee 2007) or “sensibility” (Wickberg 2007) as a lens through which to investigate the past, a number of studies have implicitly posed a new challenge for scholars of empire. Paying attention to senti- ment and sensibility, they suggest, gets us beyond an analytical grid of race, gender, and class that has dominated cultural history—where colonial studies have reigned and thrived—and allows us to probe more subtle and sensory layers of experience (Wickberg 2007, 673–74).

  • Japan: Super Global High Schools
    July 2015 Japan: Super Global High Schools The Japanese Government’s Super Global High School (SGH) project was launched in 2014, and aims “to develop leaders with international competencies”. Working with universities, industry and international organisations, SGH schools develop and implement tailored curricula for five years. SGH Associate schools will work with SGH schools to develop a broader SGH community. SGH Associate schools also develop and implement targeted educational programs for “nurturing global leaders” for one year. Students from SGH schools will be “expected to hone their communication and problem-solving skills as they tackle global issues” in concert with Japan-based universities and international organisations, industry and non-profit groups. The SGH project complements the government’s focus on internationalisation of universities – where possible, connections between SGH schools and universities are noted below.
