This article takes up the challenge by introducing Anglophone scholars to the work of the late Kanamori Osamu (1954-2016), a major force in the introduction of French épistémologie and SSK (Sociology of Scientific Knowledge) to Japan. Centered around a review of three volumes edited by Kanamori shortly before his death, I explore Kanamori’s approach to the history of science as a philosophical critique of reason, and his championing of eclecticism in the face of mounting presentism and policy-oriented studies of science in Japan. From here, I consider the barriers facing the translation of modern Japanese scientific thought into English. Finally, I signal three overlooked arenas where future collaboration between Anglophone historians of science and historians of scientific thought in Japan might flourish: in rethinking the status of gender; in drawing new epistemic maps of premodern Eurasia; in outlining the processes behind the construction of a shared Asian modernity.","PeriodicalId":37204,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Japan","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/18692729.2020.1847390","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47603511","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Common to many such contexts, EFL is taught in relation to a dominant national language and therefore exists within a marginal, non-official or non-native position. However, this domestic marginalization often misaligns with the economic significance, cultural prominence and symbolic capital attributed to English, and this is evident within Japan. Therefore, the teaching of EFL to Japanese nationals within pre-tertiary education can be expected to evoke certain identity-related emotions. Despite such plain sight observations, the affective role played by dimensions of national identity within EFL education remains understudied. Through a path-analysis procedure undertaken with a university student sample, this article explores how dimensions of Japanese national identity predict the positioning of EFL as opportunity or obstruction. The study also examines how this relationship is mediated by an emotional attachment to the local and the foreign language. The research reflects an interdisciplinary exploration of identity and its affective impact upon EFL positioning within contemporary Japanese society.","PeriodicalId":37204,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Japan","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/18692729.2020.1792188","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45509271","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It utilizes the case of Japanese Studies as the analytical focus because it has been the site of great changes during the past seven or so decades, is rooted in a number of (linguistic) academic communities, and has been studied by the whole variety of the social scientific disciplines. This article tackles four issues. First, it sketches out the reasons for the continued interest in and development of Japanese Studies that differ from other area studies by tackling its adaptive potential (in institutional terms). Second, by situating Japanese Studies in terms of the global production of knowledge it defines how Japanese Studies is variously seen as peripheral, marginal or provincial in terms of the Euro-American centers. Third, given the ever-increasing theoretical citation in articles published in Japanese Studies (as in other regional studies) it analyses the division of labor between the disciplines and area studies. Fourth, it examines the importance of Japanese popular culture for its growth as an outcome of wider social processes within the academic dynamics of American and British universities. This article tackles these issues in an exploratory and purposely provocative manner.","PeriodicalId":37204,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Japan","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/18692729.2020.1793537","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46362848","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
