Database of Japan-related Researchers
In order to facilitate collaborative research on Japan, the Japanese Studies Centre has compiled a database of people based in Victoria, Australia, who are involved in Japan-related research. The database is a guide to potential and actual research colleagues in the region, with up-to-date contact details. It aims to assist in the exchange of information and resources for Japanese studies research, and for Japanese language teaching. The database includes both practising academics and PhD students.
If you wish to update your details, or to have your entry added to the database, please send an email to Teresa.Anile@arts.monash.edu.au

TITLE OF THESIS: (Re)Constructing Identity: Discourse and the Subject Construction of Immigrants in Yamagata Prefecture, Japan
BRIEF ABSTRACT:
The thesis uses the Foucauldian concept of Discourse, supported by
feminist notions of subjectivity and empowerment, as a tool to help
understand how subjects are constructed in contemporary Japan. Although
Discourse and the associated forms of daily human practice apply
to all subjects in Japan, it is argued that the Discursive processes
are easier to identify and understand by taking as the object of
study migrants who are making a long-term investment or commitment
to the society. Marriage most closely fits these criteria, and since
the tradition in Japan ñ and particularly in Yamagata prefecture
where my study is based ñ is for the bride to move into the husbandís
home, the focus is on brides. While the experiences of Japanese brides
who have come from outside the prefecture or local area show many
parallels, brides who were born and brought up outside Japan are
the focus of this research, offering as they do arguably the starkest
insights into the process of subject construction in Japanese society.
Adopting a narrativist approach, in-depth interviews with (10) of
these women, together with officials, Japanese teachers, and other
long-term (non-married) foreign residents, produced narratives that
(1) identified some of the conditions of possibility for subjects
in Japan and (2) revealed how these conditions of possibility are
exploited and how new conditions of possibility are created. The
women were recruited during a six-month period of fieldwork in Japan
(September 2001 ñ March 2002) during which I worked as a volunteer
at a non-governmental and a public foreign resident support organisation
in Yamagata, a city in Northeast Japan. Yamagata was not only the
first place in Japan to receive the so-called ëAsian bridesí ñ
and therefore has a substantial number of women who have settled
and invested their future in Japan ñ but is second only to Nagano
prefecture in terms of the number of Chinese ëwar orphansí who
have returned to live in Japan. With unprecedented numbers of people
coming to work and settle in an increasingly ëmulticulturalí and
ëglobalí Japan, it is hoped that the findings will help both new
and established residents better understand the processes underlying
life in Japanese society. Ultimately, against the background of global
ëtime-space compressioní, the aim is to provoke discussion on the
prospects for the emergence of new principles of identity that are
no longer based on nation-state inspired notions of difference and
exclusion.
