{"title":"Unloving Mothers: Jesuit Knowledge Production on Abortion and Infanticide in Japan in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries*","authors":"LINDA ZAMPOL D'ORTIA","doi":"10.1111/1467-9809.13170","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/1467-9809.13170","url":null,"abstract":"<p>Jesuit Luís Fróis's 1585 <i>Tratado das contradições e diferenças de costumes</i> (Treatise on the contradictions and differences in customs), a text that summarised the dissimilarities between Japan and Southern Europe for newly arrived missionaries, discussed in this manner abortions and infanticides. Thanks to more than 600 couplets that contrasted European and Japanese practices, this text is commonly described as normalising numerous aspects of Japanese culture and, therefore, as striving to relativise culture in general.2 The apparently neutral tone of these quoted couplets however dissembles the history of Jesuit endeavours to eradicate both practices in the country.</p><p>Even if Jesuit literature from Japan stated that abortions and infanticides were commonplace, like Fróis did, it did not report often about it.3 This article uses these accounts as a case study to analyse the strategies of knowledge production about Japan, by European Jesuit missionaries in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It analyses the references to abortions and infanticides to identify which narratives the missionaries created about them, how they changed through time, and why. To do so, it considers the Catholic worldview that the Jesuits brought from Europe, but also the wider discourse they were creating on Japanese people, and their strategies of evangelisation.</p><p>Although the Jesuit corpus often featured children as relevant actors,4 discourses on abortions and infanticides focused almost exclusively on the women involved, ignoring the foetuses and only very rarely considering the infants. Indeed, the missionaries' narratives discussed Japanese women as “mothers,” and, in time, attributed practices of abortion and infanticide to their unwillingness to raise children, their poverty, their incorrect beliefs, and, finally, to their incorrect emotional practices of motherly love.5 While the precise reasons behind this phenomena were complex, scholarly consensus nowadays is that affection (or lack thereof) had little to do with these acts, which were far from being an exception worldwide.6</p><p>Practices of abortions and especially infanticide in Japan have been the object of much debate, although research suggests that they were not quantitatively significant as previously believed.7 While references to these practices can be traced back at least to tenth century, the Edo period (ca. 1603–1868) might have seen a significant increment of their incidence.8 Most of the relevant historical documents date to this latter era, when the Tokugawa shogunate and many domains issued bans against them.9 An overview of the vocabulary used for the phenomena approximately during the decades of 1860–1870s indicates that different attitudes towards abortion and infanticides existed in Japan, even if they were carried out in most of the country.10 Traditionally, poverty had been singled out as their cause,11 especially due to famines, but maintaining the family's soci","PeriodicalId":44035,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF RELIGIOUS HISTORY","volume":"49 2","pages":"230-244"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1467-9809.13170","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144514651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
