Abstract:

This article examines the critical role Hawai‘i’s Japanese American diaspora played at the 1970 Osaka Exposition in facilitating a Hawai‘i-Japan economic partnership and disseminating messages of Hawai‘i’s multiculturalism and democracy to local and international audiences. White and Japanese American male government officials and members of the Governor’s Citizen Advisory Committee for the Expo emphasized the large Japanese American population in Hawai‘i as well as the cultural hybridity of their state in order to make the Japanese audience—potential tourists and investors—feel welcome. The main “spectacle” of the Hawai‘i pavilion featured a group of hostesses—primarily of Japanese American ancestry—who daily danced the hula. While the hostesses graciously performed the femininity and aloha that were expected of them, they also articulated their ethnic identities by educating the Japanese about the Japanese diaspora and its contributions to the fiftieth state of the United States.

Abstract:

This article looks into how the Japanese government has recently been changing policies and discourses on immigration. I begin by sketching the historical background of immigration policy. Then, I discuss policies, proposals and reports made in the 2000s, paying close attention to documents produced after 2005. Since then, the Japanese government, confronting the domestic problem of demographic change and the global competition for human resources, has become seriously concerned about the integration of foreign residents and has also come to engage with the question of how to expand the admission of foreign workers. In discussing this change, I am particularly interested in shedding light on how the idea of multiculturalism has been applied to the context of Japan, as this idea presents a challenge to the dominant discourse of mono-ethnicity in postwar Japan. Japanese immigration policy is at a turning point not only in the sense that it has become more inclusive but also in the sense that it has come to present a view of Japan as multicultural. Though there is resistance against the inclusion of foreigners and the idea of multiculturalism, relatively moderate approaches taken by those favoring multiculturalism may be effective in curtailing resistance and bringing about actual changes.

Abstract:

Multiculturalism is an increasingly salient election issue. The growing size of many countries’ ethnic minority populations pushes parties to support multiculturalism, whereas the emergence of far-right parties in many countries pressures them to oppose it. This article examines parties’ positions on multiculturalism in a comparative context. It looks at 19 countries including most of Western Europe, North America, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan. It argues that the influence of ethnic minorities over parties depends on electoral systems, and the strategies mainstream parties adopt in response to the far-right. The article finds that increases in ethnic minorities’ electoral strength lead parties to increase their support of multiculturalism to a greater degree in single-member district electoral systems than in proportional ones. Further, parties co-opt the anti-multicultural positions of far-right parties, and right parties do so more than left parties.

Abstract:

The story of NHK’s morning drama (asadora) Massan (2014–2015) is loosely based on real events. It depicts the lives of the Japanese whisky pioneer Massan and his Scottish wife Ellie in pre- and post-war Japan. Ellie assimilates and grows into the role of a perfect Japanese ‘good wife and wise mother’, while Massan fulfils his dream and succeeds in producing the first authentic whisky made in Japan. Approaching the series’ narrative from the perspective of multiculturalism, I argue that the series falls into the trap of representing the heroine as a stereotypical foreigner, resembling figures who perform their otherness in Japanese TV shows. Furthermore, when one considers Massan’s whisky entrepreneurship as a symbol for Japan’s postwar economic success, the series reflects several tropes of national ideology such as the belief in a unique Japaneseness. Thus, I suggest that this morning drama establishes an imagined and exclusive national community for its audience, in which a serious discussion of multiculturalism and foreigners living in Japan remains absent.

Abstract:

A growing body of research reports negative results, such as widening economic disparity, due to English educationreform influenced by neoliberalism. Japan is no exception. Linguistic instrumentalism is intensifying in Tokyo,which is scheduled to host the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2020. This article critically analyzes policydocuments issued by the largest business lobby in Japan (Keidanren), Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports,Science and Technology (MEXT), the Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG), and the Tokyo Metropolitan Boardof Education (TMBOE) within Japan’s social and political context. All of the documentary data are official-publicand open-archival. The study reveals that two discourses, developing human resources and nurturing Japaneseidentity, are repeated throughout the policy documents. While MEXT, TMG, and TMBOE stipulate their intention toaccelerate Japan’s internationalization, their policy documents have potential to lead students in an opposingdirection with an emphasis on fierce competition and pluralist multiculturalism, which dichotomizes the self andothers by simplifying differences. In the discussion section I suggest implementing pedagogical practice based oncritical multiculturalism to multiply the effect of these top-down measures. Ultimately, EFL teachers could form abottom-up powerbase by critically analyzing the official policies and by implementing practice that fits to theparticular setting.

Abstract:

Modern Japan is resolutely turning towards creating a full-fledged multicultural society. Becoming aware of the depopulation crisis, many municipalities are actively working to attract foreigners. In combination with other measures of the Japanese government, teaching Japanese to foreigners of all levels ensures mutual understanding. The concept of “Plain Japanese” (PJL) implies the use of a simplified language with limited vocabulary and a set of elementary grammar. “Plain Japanese” was created as a means of providing information to foreigners, firstly for emergency situations, and secondly for everyday life. The scope of application of “Plain Japanese” over the past 25 years has expanded considerably. The leading role in the study of “Plain Japanese” belongs to the research team of Professor Iori Isao from Hitotsubashi University (Pref. Tokyo). Prof. Iori believes that “Plain Japanese” can perform the following key functions: 1. “Plain Japanese” as a state guarantee of “compensatory education”. Children of foreigners who grew up in Japan should also be able to socialize unhindered. “Plain Japanese” is suitable for this purpose as well as possible. 2. “Plain Japanese” as a language of communication in regional communities. In order for “Plain Japanese” to successfully perform the role of an intermediary language, not only foreigners should speak and study it, but also the Japanese who work with foreigners. 3. “Plain Japanese” as the initial level of the Japanese language across all regions. These are schools and Japanese courses for foreigners. To teach the initial level of the Japanese language in a very short time, it is necessary to considerably cut down the grammatical and lexical minimum compared to, for example, the school course of the Japanese language. At present, digital technologies have been created for translating texts to the European Congregation Campaign, research groups are being conducted, and educational literature is being produced by initiative groups.

Abstract:

In the context of globalization, Japan has gradually moved from a single ethnic group to diversity due to historical factors such as the immigration boom and economic development. This change also calls into question the traditional form of education in Japanese society, which is unable to adapt to the current society where multiculturalism coexists, and where the trend toward diversity in Japan has become inevitable as the world continues to globalize. Therefore, it is necessary and urgent to discuss the reflection on how to solve the social problems of multicultural impact. In this study, we analyzed the implementation of multicultural education in schools and the difficulties encountered, and discussed measures to solve the problem based on interviews and research conducted in middle schools in Hamamatsu City, using multicultural education as the main research topic and analyzing the research conducted by Japanese scholars and experts.

Abstract:

As the impact of globalization, foreign animation films such as Shin Chan from Japan, Krishna from India, Upin-Ipin from Malaysia, Batman and many others from the US are very popular in Indonesia. Those films supposed represent cultures of each nation, so that people can learn multiculturalism. However, those films create inversely. This study aims to know how foreign animation films affect on the rising of anti-multiculturalism among Indonesian parents. Survey is conducted on parents with kindergarten or elementary children in Yogyakarta. The results show that children prefer to watch foreign animation films compare to domestic one. They are more likely to imitate their favorite animation stars by behaving violently, speaking harshly, and disrespectfully to parents. As a result parents tend to blame their children changing behavior on foreign cultures as bad and impolite compare to their own culture. Instead of encouraging better understanding on multiculturalism, foreign animation films has raised anti-multiculturalism among parents.Sebagai dampak globalisasi, film animasi asing seperti Shin Chan dari Jepang, Krishna dari India, Upin Ipin - dari Malaysia, Batman dan banyak lainnya dari Amerika Serikat sangat populer di Indonesia. Film-film seharusnya mewakili budaya masing-masing negara, sehingga orang dapat belajar multikulturalisme. Namun, film-film ini dapat pula berakibat sebaliknya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana film animasi dari luar bisa berpengaruh pada peningkatan anti-multikulturalisme pada orang tua di Indonesia. Survey dilakukan pada orang tua yang memiliki anak TK atau SD di Yogyakarta. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa anak-anak lebih memilih untuk menonton film animasi asing dibandingkan dengan film dalam negeri. Mereka lebih cenderung untuk meniru bintang animasi favorit mereka dengan berperilaku keras, berbicara kasar, dan tidak hormat kepada orang tua. Akibatnya, orang tua cenderung menyalahkan anak-anak mereka perilaku yang berubah pada budaya asing sebagai buruk dan tidak sopan dibandingkan dengan budaya mereka sendiri. Alih-alih mendorong pemahaman yang lebih baik tentang multikulturalisme, film animasi asing telah meningkatkan anti-multikulturalisme di kalangan orang tua.

Abstract:

Over the last few years, I have attended several political meetings concerned with the refugee crisis, multiculturalism or Indigenous rights in Australia, meetings at which liberal democratic–minded ‘left-wing’ people came together to discuss, or agitate for change in, governmental policies. At these meetings, I always found it difficult to accept the slogans on their placards and in their speeches: ‘Shame Australia! Reconciliation for a united Australia’, ‘Wake up Australia! We welcome refugees!’ or ‘True Australians are tolerant! Let’s celebrate multicultural Australia!’ My uncomfortable feeling came not only from the fact that I was left out because of my Japanese nationality but also because I had never seen or heard words like ‘shame Japan’, ‘wake up Japan’ or ‘true Japanese are ...’ at Japanese ‘left-wing’ political gatherings. In Japan, these are words used only by right-wing nationalists. Indeed it is difficult to even imagine liberal-left intellectuals in postwar Japan calling for a ‘true Japanese’ political response (as if such a response was positive), such is the extent to which the idea of ‘good nationalism’ is now regarded as an oxymoron. This is my starting point for an essay in which I want to be attentive to the different roles played by national(ism) in the Japanese and Australian political environments.

Abstract:

In Japan, recent Foreign Language Activities (2018-2020) policies have explicated the importance of facilitating multiculturalism and global thinking through education and educational tools, including through the use of textbooks. Accordingly, an Anti-Bias Framework (ABF) is one way for educators to develop learners’ global and cultural identities, as well as learners’ appreciation of human differences. ABFs are of particular relevance in multicultural textbooks and classrooms, as they are used for helping students develop local and international identities, and for helping learners eliminate biases. However, the current EFL textbooks (2018-2020) issued by the Japanese Ministry of Education are not inclusive of ABFs. Consequently, there are numerous missed opportunities for teachers and learners to engage in active anti-bias lessons for the facilitation of global citizenship. This paper seeks to address this gap in the textbooks by discussing opportunities for EFL teachers in Japan (and elsewhere) to use anti-bias frameworks in language and culture education. Elaborating upon the Teaching Tolerance Anti-Bias Framework (2017), this article proposes that EFL students in Japan can develop intercultural competencies and anti-bias thinking through an ABF, and offers suggestions for lesson activities, guided classroom discussions, engagement with local interlocutors, for English language development. While positioned against the backdrop of the Japanese EFL elementary classroom, these suggestions can be adapted to other EFL in-person and online classrooms, as well.

Abstract:

This article puts forward the thesis that in the age of multiculturalism, global communication is rooted in cross-cultural understanding as shown in McLuhan's late communication theory. The American philosopher Ernest Fenollosa went to Japan during the Meiji Restoration when it started in earnest full-scale Westernization. He became fascinated with the poetics of sinography manifested in etymosinology. Etymosinology reveals the depth of the Sinic cultural soul, which is this-worldly, practical, concrete and specific. Sinism (i.e. Confucianism, Daoism and Chan/Zen Buddhism) is a species of relational ontology which is predicated upon the conception of reality as social process. This social process is always already embodied. With the aid of Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology of embodiment, I critically explore and examine the connection between embodiment and `new media' theory.

Abstract:

Pop art originated in Britain in 1950, became popular in the United States in the 1960s, and then spread to Italy, Japan and other countries. It pulled art from the high altar, obliterated the boundary between art and life, and made art less inscrutable and obscure, but more affinity. This paper focuses on the pop art style in modern and contemporary art and design works, and discusses the audience's demand for pop art pop culture in the context of contemporary multiculturalism. As a common, popular and commercial art form, pop art has exerted a subtle influence in many fields of design. It emphasizes interest and rebellious spirit, affecting the diversified development of design. This paper is an accurate control of the current design trend, and also a practical exploration of digital redesign of pop art style.

Full text

Abstract:

The study explores the legitimized use of the figure of speech in Burnt Shadows. The author uses language as a source of connection between the characters who are different in their eras, countries, and cultural backgrounds. The objective of the study is to explore the effects of language on multiculturalism and the impact of political unrest on the lives of common people during the second world war. She has used lingual devices to enhance the intensity of circumstances as well as for the accurate pasteurization of the sentimental and physical conditions of Hiroko and Sajjad. Specific figurative techniques like metaphor, simile, personification, irony, epigram, and symbolism have been explored in the text of Burnt Shadows. These techniques expose the hidden truths and aggressive nature of political conflict in the lives of the people of Japan, the Subcontinent, and European countries. Pragmatic studies have been applied to the text as a mirror to see the function and nature of wordplay in the novel. The results expose that the author has artistically applied specific devices in the formation of text in order to highlight the role of language in the development of cultural intimacy and maintaining social relationships. The figures of speech are also helpful to map the mind of readers according to the plot construction of the novel.

Abstract:

Abstract This study adopts a discursive analytical perspective to elaborate on transnational connections and cultural diversity as strategies for defining Taiwaneseness in graphic narratives published between 1997 and 2016. It considers the following aspects represented in the analysed texts: (1) processes of self-identification while travelling abroad; (2) depictions of Taiwan centred on familiar spaces open to outside cultural influences, which become locally appropriated through daily activities that link them to individual emotions and weave them into personal and collective memories; and (3) reaching beyond Taiwan to highlight transnational encounters and connections, thus placing the island within a global or regional framework of reference. The article assesses the degree to which this transnational viewpoint reproduces, challenges or complements existing notions regarding Taiwan’s relations with China, Japan and the US, while also exploring relations established with other nodes of reference: Europe, New Zealand and Hong Kong. It also comments on the extent to which academic critical stances on Taiwan’s multiculturalism and warnings against overlooking existing ties between Taiwan and the PRC in contemporary definitions of nationhood may hold true for the research material.

Abstract:

The article considers examples of modern gardens and parks with elements of Chinese and Japanese landscape design, analyzes the degree of their similarity with historic gardens. A comparative analysis of historic gardens and modern gardens and parks is carried out in order to prove which elements of traditional oriental landscape design are cited the most. A set of elements that embody national identity in modern Chinese and Japanese gardens is argued. It is shown how, over time, including under the direct influence of multiculturalism and in connection with the typification of pavilions for mass construction, the concentrated national features of eastern gardens were gradually smoothed out. As the most recognizable elements of modern Chinese gardens, pavilions, sculpture, compositions of stones, Japanese gardens – gates-torii, pagodas, compositions of boulders, "dry gardens", landscaping with sakura, coniferous trees, and Japanese maples were identified. Compared to Chinese gardens, in a modern Japanese garden outside of Japan there may be no buildings at all or their number is minimal, and the natural environment itself is more natural. On the contrary, the Chinese garden outside of China showcases the art of landscape design and the craftsmanship of man-made landscape paintings.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine parental and students’ decisions regarding participating in K-12 level study abroad programs in Manitoba, Canada. Design/methodology/approach The study reports on data collected through document analysis and semi-structured interviews with 18 international students and 14 parents. Findings The findings suggest that the key factors influencing decisions are perceptions of enhanced career prospects, changing global environments and broadened post-secondary education choices. Country-specific factors include quality and safety of the learning environment, multiculturalism and reputation associated with the country and people. Research limitations/implications The participants were primarily students and parents from the EU countries associated primarily with horizontal mobility. Experiences of students from the main sending countries (China, South Korea and Japan) might differ. Practical implications The results are relevant to educational managers in designing high-quality international programs and recruitment agents. Originality/value The study adds important empirical evidence to the limited research that has been conducted on study abroad experiences at the K-12 level. It is one of the first in the Canadian context. It provides unique perspectives in USA and Canada comparisons for study abroad of school-aged children.

Abstract:

Abstrak Pendidikan adalah invenstasi jangka panjang sebuah bangsa. Sebelum masa keterpurukan akibat perang dunia, pertama hingga kedua, pendidikan menjadi tonggak kemasyhuran bangsa-bangsa besar. Sejak kejayaan Mesir kuno, peradaban Islam di Irak dan Spanyol, hingga revolusi juli, adalah bentangan kekuatan pendidikan. Gemerlap politik global terkadang mengalihkan perhatian negara kepada persoalan politik, hingga menampilkan parade kekuatan dominatif suatu bangsa atas bangsa lain. Produk-produk dari usaha pendidikan menjadi alat penebar arogansi antar bangsa. Namun, setelah perang dunia kedua, Jepang misalnya, melakukan reposisi nasional dari kecenderungan ekspansif ke pembangunan Sumber Daya Manusia melalui pendidikan. Hasilnya, Jepang melejit sangat cepat hingga saat ini. Artikel ini berupaya menjelaskan bahwa melalui pendidikan, persoalan-persoalan sosial dapat diurai. Gagasan pendidikan pada dasarnya untuk kepentingan kemanusiaan menyeluruh, sehingga tidak hanya dapat diakses oleh kelompok tertentu. Demikian juga sekat-sekat geografis, demografis dan politis, melebur ketika berada dalam lembaga pendidikan. Bangsa Indonesia yang pernah dijajah beberapa abad, ketika menghirup udara kemerdekaan, tidak menampilkan dendam kepada negara bekas penjajah. Pendidikanlah yang mengajarkan para pendiri bangsa bahwa kemerdekaan adalah hak segala bangsa, karena bertentangan dengan prinsip-prinsip kemanusiaan. Bahkan Indonesia harus aktif dalam pergaulan antar bangsa, memelopori perdamaian dunia. Para pendiri bangsa kebanyakan berlatar pendidikan khas Indonesia, seperti pesantren. Salah satunya adalah PM Gontor, yang dalam berbagai gerak pendidikannya, menunjukkan kemampuan mempertemukan demokrasi, multikulturalisme, inklusifisme.Kata Kunci: Demokrasi, Multikulturalisme, Inklusifisme, PesantrenAbstract Education is a long-term investment of a nation. Before the downturn caused by the world war, first to second, education became the cornerstone of the great nations. Since the glory of ancient Egypt, Islamic civilization in Iraq and Spain, until the July revolution, is a stretch of educational power. The glitter of global politics sometimes diverts the country's attention to political issues, to the parade of a nation's dominating power over other nations. The products of the educational endeavor become a means of spreading the arrogance between nations. However, after the second world war, Japan for example, made a national reposition of the expansionary tendency to the development of Human Resources through education. As a result, Japan skyrocketed very quickly to this day. This article seeks to explain that through education, social issues can be broken down. The idea of education is basically for the sake of humanity is comprehensive, so it is not only accessible to certain groups. Likewise geographic barriers, demographics and politics, merge when in an educational institution. The Indonesian nation that had been colonized for centuries, when it breathed freedom of air, did not show a grudge against the former colonial country. It is education that teaches the founders of the nation that freedom is the right of all nations, as opposed to the principles of humanity. Even Indonesia must be active in the inter-nation association, pioneering world peace. The founders of the nation are mostly educational backgrounds typical of Indonesia, such as boarding schools. One of them is PM Gontor, who in various educational movements, demonstrates the ability to bring together democracy, multiculturalism, inclusiveness.Keywords: Democracy, Multiculturalism, Insclusivess, Pesantren

Abstract:

When the Asian and Pacific Migration Journal was launched in 1992, it was the only journal in the region devoted exclusively to the study of migration. At that time, temporary labor migration from and within the region was already significant and it has continued to grow in volume, and national migration policies have evolved to cope with it. International migration has also received increasing attention from the United Nations and several targets of the Sustainable Development Goals explicitly refer to it. APMJ has chronicled most of these changes and emphasized such themes as migration and macro-level development, the human rights of migrants, women in migration, the social impacts of migration, national policy-making, multiculturalism and transnationalism. As migration research has been strengthened in universities and institutes within Asia, coverage by countries has shifted from articles about the region as a whole and Australia to a preponderance of articles concerning East Asia, especially China, Japan and the Republic of Korea, and a similar shift has been observed in the origin of the lead authors. Because the Journal largely reflects the research being conducted in Asia and the Pacific, gaps in coverage relate to migration from South Asia and to the Middle East, the Central Asian migration system, forced migration, the role of private recruitment agencies and methodological approaches to migration research.

Abstract:

The strategy and tactics of Japan's contemporary migration policy are determined by the ethnocultural characteristics of the Japanese nation, recognized as the concept of national character (国民性 kokuminsei), which is both a political and scientific entity. The rapid changes in migration policy today expose the practical need to study the causes, consequences, and specifics of related social and political concepts such as national character and the factors that shape it. The accurate knowledge helps predict cultural, political, and socioeconomic changes and future agendas. This concept is a subject of paramount importance for international relations studies, as it is rooted in the Japanese nation's self-consciousness and represents core elements of national history within its interrelation with present policy. The study suggests that the Japanese national character, described and conceptualized in the late Edo period (1603–1868) and the Meiji period (1868–1912), still influences the attitudes of the Japanese towards migration and foreigners in general. The representatives of kokugaku (国学 national study) that originated at that time and nihonjin-ron (日本人論 theories about the Japanese) that developed further sought to assert the authenticity of Japanese culture and its history and construct a national identity. Assumingly, it would become an instrument of protecting the country from the influence of China and later the West. Today, researchers of Japanese culture, both in Japan and abroad, continue to refer to post-war nihonjin-ron, criticizing, rethinking, or adding to its major provisions. Content analysis of the vocabulary used in connection with the concept of national character in official documents regulating the relevant area of social policy, as well as in the media and social networks, has revealed some features of the modern interpretation of this concept. In particular, there are attempts to identify socially significant features of a member of Japanese society. Certain acculturation efforts required from migrants imply the development of the skills that are socially important from the point of view of Japanese society. The comprehensive analysis of measures for the integration and adaptation of migrants implemented by the local governments of Japan has shown that communicative phenomena associated with the concepts of meiwaku (迷惑 causing trouble), omoiyari (思いやり considerate caring for others), as well as the culture of gift-giving and apologizing play an important role in the relationships between Japanese and foreigners. In addition, the analysis of migration policy allows concluding that the concept of coexistence between Japanese and foreigners (多文化共生 tabunka kyousei) currently pursued by the government, despite its promising title, does not quite correspond to multiculturalism in its classical sense, in other words — does not imply deliberate government action to preserve and develop cultural differences within one society.

Abstract:

Traditional and largely rural patterns of relationships seem to persist in Japan despite economic and political modernization. Infused within modern technology, ideology, and apparently modern organizational forms, one discerns the persistent, if not determining, influence of native values and social patterns. Following a genealogical approach, inspired by Nietzsche and Foucault, this paper goes beyond the opposition between universalist and multiculturalist models of modernization, in order to identify certain indigenous principles of social organization manifest in both "traditional" and "modern" social formations of Japan. The persistence of these basic principles, such as the 'frame orientation," and the emphasis on wa (harmony, peace), is traced through the historical process of Japan's modernization in various realms of social life — the economy, political life, and popular culture. e analysis recent structural shifts in Japanese society, while still affirming the principles of Japan's "alternative modernity," also implies that major changes in its basic organizing principles might be under way.

Abstract:

Multiculturalism can be regarded as the attitude and treatment based on equality and equality to the reality of a plural. Multiculturalism is a bid as a way out of exclusivism, obstinacy and rigidity of attitudes towards others. On the other hand, da’wa as a process of introduction and implementation of Islamic values are challenged to more schools against these developments. This is because the success of da’wa certainly can not be separated from its intensity with the times. Where it requires proper da’wa strategies. Strategy of da’wah (bi al-kitabah, bil lisan, bil hal) would still be relevant enough to be applied in the era of multiculturalism, which becomes important is how the development and implementation so that not only the religious doctrine but rather to social issues. Multikulturalisme bisa dikatakan sebagai sikap dan perlakuan berdasarkan persamaan dan kesederajatan terhadap realitas plural dan keberbagaian. Multikulturalisme adalah sebuah tawaran sebagai jalan keluar dari eksklusivisme, kebebalan dan kekakuan sikap terhadap yang lain. Disisi lain dakwah sebagai sebuah proses pengenalan dan penanaman nilai-nilai Islam ditantang untuk lebih paham terhadap perkembangan tersebut. Hal ini dikarenakan keberhasilan dakwah tentunya tidak bisa dilepaskan dari intensitasnya mengikuti perkembangan zaman. Di mana hal tersebut menuntut adanya strategi dakwah yang tepat. Strategi dakwah (bi al-kitabah, bi al-lisan, bi al-hal) kiranya masih cukup relevan untuk diterapkan pada era multikulturalisme, yang menjadi penting adalah bagaimana pengembangannya serta implementasinya supaya tidak hanya mengenai doktrin keagamaan melainkan lebih ke persoalan sosial.

Abstract:

Between 2003 and 2007, three versions of the Japanese novel, Shiroi Kyotou ( The Great White Tower) were screened as television drama serials in Japan (2003), Taiwan (2006) and South Korea (2007). The phenomenon of White Tower reflects the vibrant multiculturality and transnationality of East Asian television dramas. Accordingly, this article seeks to use the various narratives of White Tower as manifestations of the underlying tensions of post-authoritarian and post-miracle economies of Taiwan, South Korea and Japan. While audiences are awed by the technologically sophisticated hospital settings and the rigidly disciplined health professionals in the productions, they are also exposed to the ugly realities of cronyism, neglect and arrogance of the predominantly male medical elite. Given the conservatism of most mainstream television dramas, the challenge here is to determine how to interpret the latest versions of White Tower as simultaneously exhibitions and critiques of Asian modernity.

Abstract:

The literary topic of Siamese twins is not unfamiliar. American literary history tells us of the genealogy from Mark Twain’s pseudo-antebellum story The Tragedy of Pudd’nhead Wilson and the Comedy Those Extraordinary Twins (1894), Karen Tei Yamashita’s postmodern metafiction “Siamese Twins and Mongoloids: Cultural Appropriation and the Deconstruction of Stereotype via the Absurdity of Metaphor” (1999), down to Shelley Jackson’s James Tiptree, Jr. award winner Half-Life (2006). Rereading these works, we are easily invited to notice the political unconscious hidden deep within each plot: Twain’s selection of the Italian Siamese twins based upon Chang and Eng Bunker, antebellum stars of the Barnum Museum, cannot help but recall the ideal of the post-Civil War world uniting the North and the South; Yamashita’s figure of the conjoined twins Heco and Okada derives from Hikozo Hamada, an antebellum Japanese who made every effort to empower the bond between Japan and the United States, and John Okada, the Japanese American writer well known for his masterpiece No No Boy (1957); and Jackson’s characterization of the female conjoined twins Nora and Blanche Olney represents a new civil rights movement in the post-Cold War age in the near future, establishing a close friendship between the humans and the post-humans. This literary and cultural context should convince us that Yamashita’s short story “Siamese Twins and Mongoloids” serves as a kind of singularity point between realist twins and magic realist twins. Influenced by Twain’s twins, Yamashita paves the way for the re-figuration of the conjoined twins not only as tragi-comical freaks in the Gilded Age but also as representative men of magic realist America in our Multiculturalist Age. A Close reading of this metafiction composed in a way reminiscent of Jorge Luis Borges, Stanislaw Lem and Bruce Sterling will enable us to rediscover not only the role conjoined twins played in cultural history, but also the reason why Yamashita had to feature them once again in her novel I Hotel (2010) whose plot centers around the Asian American civil rights movement between the 1960s and the 1970s. Accordingly, an Asian American magic realist perspective will clarify the way Yamashita positioned the figure of Siamese Twins as representing legal and political double standards, and the way the catachresis of Siamese Twins came to be naturalized, questioned and dismissed in American literary history from the 19th century through the 21st century.

Abstract:

Abstract This paper examines how Islam in Japan tends to be tolerated as (foreign) “culture,” especially within the framework of tabunka kyōsei, multicultural coexistence, and cosmetic multiculturalism to circumvent religious apathy, phobia of religion, and prejudice against Islam. In doing so, this paper will: first provide a history of Muslim–Japanese relations and Muslim communities in Japan as well as an overview of the total estimate of the Muslim population in Japan as of 2018; historicize and denaturalize religious apathy, phobia of religion, and prejudice against Islam among the general Japanese public; analyze the rhetoric of tabunka kyōsei and its relation to cosmetic multiculturalism as well as its problematics; investigate the cases of local oppositions to the building projects of mosques and my observations made at events organized by Muslim groups; and conclude with a critical remark on the cosmetic multiculturalist understanding of “Islamic culture” and its approach to tabunka kyōsei.
