"The Burakumin. Stigmatized throughout Japanese history as an outcaste group, their identity is still “risky,” their social presence mostly silent, and their experience marginalized in public discourse. They are contemporary Japan’s largest minority group—between 1.5 and 3 million people. How do young people today learn about being burakumin? How do they struggle with silence and search for an authentic voice for their complex experience?Voice, Silence, and Self examines how the mechanisms of silence surrounding burakumin issues are reproduced and challenged in Japanese society. It explores the ways in which schools and social relationships shape people’s identity as burakumin within a “protective cocoon” where risk is minimized. Based on extensive ethnographic research and interviews, this longitudinal work explores the experience of burakumin youth from two different communities and with different social movement organizations.Christopher Bondy explores how individuals navigate their social world, demonstrating the ways in which people make conscious decisions about the disclosure of a stigmatized identity. This compelling study is relevant to scholars and students of Japan studies and beyond. It provides crucial examples for all those interested in issues of identity, social movements, stigma, and education in a comparative setting."

This book uses a post-modern approach to explore how Japanese returnee students (kikokushijo) and former returnees who work in Japanese industry, negotiate multiple identities. Methodological triangulation is used to study inner perception of face, emotional state and the dynamics of negotiating multiple-layering of identities. The work considers the relationship between face and identities, and the function of the affective aspects of face, shame and pride in identity negotiation. Readers will discover how Japanese returnees deal with shame and pride in face-threatening or face-promoting situations that affect their identity negotiation. Many such returnees stayed abroad because of their parents’ jobs and the author explores variations among them, in terms of how they identify with their identity as a returnee. We discover how there are multiple levels of identities instead of ‘identity’ as a singular. Two phases of research, carried out across ten years and involving some participants in both phases, are explored in this work. Although the participants in the research are Japanese returnees, the findings drawn from the study have implications for others who spend an extensive period of time overseas, who migrate from one place to another or who have multiple cultural backgrounds. The book incorporates ideas from Western and Eastern literature on intercultural communication, sociology and social psychology and it blends both micro and macro analysis. This book is recommended for scholars, educators, students and practitioners who seek to understand better how people negotiate their multiple identities in this globalising world.

This volume is a major reconsideration of Japanese late modernity and national hegemony which examines the creative and academic works of a number of influential Japanese thinkers.

This book will be of great value to anyone interested in the history of contemporary Japanese culture and society.

Since Japan’s economic recession began in the 1990s, the female workforce has experienced revolutionary changes as greater numbers of women have sought to establish careers. Employment trends indicate that increasingly white-collar professional women are succeeding in breaking through the "glass ceiling", as digital technologies blur and redefine work in spatial, gendered, and ideological terms. This book examines what motivates Japanese women to pursue professional careers in the contemporary neoliberal economy, and how they reconfigure notions of selfhood while doing so. It analyses how professional women contest conventional notions of femininity in contemporary Japan and in turn, negotiate new gender roles and cultural assumptions about women, whilst reorganizing the Japanese workplace and wider socio-economic relationships. Further, the book explores how professional women create new social identities through the mutual conditioning of structure and self, and asks how women come to understand their experiences; how their actions change the gendering of the workforce; and how their lives shape the economic, political, social, and cultural landscapes of this post-industrial nation. Based on extensive fieldwork, Career Women in Contemporary Japan will have broad appeal across a range of disciplines including Japanese culture and society, gender and family studies, women’s studies, anthropology, ethnology and sociology.

The contemporary era of the late 1980s bubble economy through the post-triple disaster moment of the 2010s in Japan is one that, due to an increased opening of borders and disintegrating of normalized structures, stimulated a turbulent reassessment of Japanese identity politics closely entangled with immigration, intercultural diversity, and marginalization. These issues do not only hold hegemonic systems of discrimination and inequality in direct contention, but also encourage a more complex and nuanced examination of "Japaneseness" against the homogeneous-presenting image that is often pushed to the forefront. Taking a grassroots perspective, this dissertation asks, what does it mean to be at once Japanese and marginal in contemporary Japan? How do real and fictional actors actively negotiate this often invisible interstitiality against notions of homogeneity in contemporary Japanese narrative? And how can an understanding of race-like systems, often shaped solely by visuality, be expanded via habits of listening and social meanings of sound? To offer an answer, I utilize a framework informed by critical race theory and sound studies in which marginalized experiences are understood as working like systems of race that are based on a hierarchy of audible rather than visible racial awareness. Understanding the subaltern as able to speak but lacking a listener, I employ a method of listening to marginal sounds, music, and voice as a way to interrogate fixed dichotomies of categorical distinction upheld by cultural essentialism, such as Japanese and Other, pure and impure, margin and center. I focus on multilingual author Tawada Yōko's in-between language experiments, Watanabe Shin'ichirō's hip-hop-based animated series Samurai Champloo, Kodama Yuki's modern jazz manga series Apollo on the Slope, and the "silent" voices of the dead and survivors of the 3.11 triple disaster in Sakamoto Ryūichi's "Tsunami Piano" and Itō Seikō's Imagination Radio. In so doing, I analyze the ways in which these narratives negotiate marginalized audibility via language, music, and voice to address a new consciousness of Japanese identity embedded in transnationalism and the "liquidizing" of modern structures. The texts analyzed here are case studies which demonstrate a tendency bounded by a type of marginalized trauma and a globally-informed perspective that is negotiated through sound and provides a view of Japanese culture that is more finely tuned. Together, they portray imaginations of "Japaneseness" that are not passively monolithic or mainstream, but are rather intrinsically political, intersect multiple aspects of identity, and push against normative modes of Japanese nation and society.

Nakagami Kenji is today regarded as one of the most important and influential Japanese post-war writers. Born in 1946 in the burakumin ghetto of the small coastal town of Shingu in southern Wakayama prefecture, Nakagami sailed up as a rising star on the literary skies in the mid-seventies when he became the first writer born after the Second World War to win the prestigious Akutagawa prize. He was also the first writer of the burakumin background to receive wide literary acclaim and recognition from critics and from the literary establishment. The reception of Nakagami's literature has placed him simultaneously both at the avant-garde of modern Japanese literature and near the nostalgic roots of Japan's literary origins. For while his engagement with the Japanese traditional narrative, the monogatari does indeed often seem to bring him disturbingly close to an almost reactionary nostalgia, fissures in his narrative – both in voice, structure, and theme – will at the same time dismantle this nostalgic return. Focusing on one novel, Nakagami's masterpiece Kiseki (Miracles) from 1989, this study traces his pendulous movement from nostalgia to avant-garde and back again. At the heart of the study lies the concept of negotiation – a negoti ation of cultures, languages, and borders. Nakagami is a minority writing against the constraints of a language and literature that has throughout history contributed to the discrimination of his minority group. Facing this challenge head on, Nakagami engages the literary genres that lie at the root of this discrimination, thus laying bare the difficulties facing anyone trying to break free of the bonds of culture, history, and literature.
