However, little attention has been given to the increasing importance of international program and provider mobility (IPPM), which includes international branch campuses, franchise programs, international joint universities and joint/double degree programs. This article analyzes the policies, status and role of IPPM to meet future needs of Japanese higher education. The study reveals that the full potential of IPPM is not realized given the government's restrictive regulations for the establishment of Japanese programs and international branch campuses abroad as well as foreign higher education providers in Japan. While regulations are necessary to ensure quality and achieve the multiple benefits of IPPM provision, there is a need to re-examine and relax some of the government regulations that serve as barriers. The success of the three Japanese international joint universities provides evidence that Japanese universities are motivated and experienced in working collaboratively with international partners and looking for new IPPM opportunities. Scholars, policy analysts, and academics interested in Japan’s engagement with the rest of the world through collaborating with foreign higher education partners will benefit from this analysis of current and past IPPM activities and policies and the call for further research.","PeriodicalId":44495,"journal":{"name":"Japan Forum","volume":"34 1","pages":"221 - 247"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44180174","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}

The playwright-director is known for exploring contentious issues in Japanese society based on in-depth interviews conducted with the people concerned. Among the various art works addressing the Fukushima nuclear disaster, her plays are rare in exposing how intricately the roles of victim and perpetrator are entangled. Setoyama’s plays raise the question of responsibility so crucial to processing cultural trauma and to triggering traumatogenic change. Relating the Fukushima nuclear disaster to the atomic bombings and the Chernobyl disaster, Setoyama opposes national discourses of a spatially and temporally limited disaster to construct 3.11 as a disaster on a global scale. Almost ten years after the calamity, a broad public debate to attribute responsibility for the nuclear disaster has not yet begun. And with the shift of national attention to the Tokyo Olympics and the global coronavirus pandemic, a rare window of opportunity for transformation in Japanese society is closed. Setoyama’s plays go far beyond the criticism of nuclear power and touch upon essential problems in Japanese society, such as the lack of an open culture of discussion and the strong suppression of dissenting voices, as my analysis will show.","PeriodicalId":44495,"journal":{"name":"Japan Forum","volume":"33 1","pages":"497 - 521"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09555803.2021.1942138","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44573720","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}

Ever since the downturn of the economy in the early 1990s, the Japanese have sought to recharge their dreams by looking back at a period supposedly permeated with an energetic and optimistic, forward-looking spirit. Yet, when we turn to contemporary films for testimony, we find this retrospective sentiment complicated by an ambivalent attitude towards ongoing social developments. This article focuses on three mainstream popular youth films – Foundry Town (Kyūpora no aru machi), Always Keep the Dream (Itsudemo yume o), The Sunshine Girl (Shitamachi no taiyō) – that share critical perspectives on issues pertaining to social class, economic inequality, and the attainability of worthwhile education. Set in ‘low town’ industrial districts in Tokyo and populated with unprivileged factory workers who went under the epithet of ‘golden eggs’, the films deliver a socio-political critique that ultimately questions the very desirability of the promises of social and spatial mobility built into high growth policies. It argues that the contemporary sararīman dream shared by the proverbial one hundred million Japanese in which everyone is able to join the ranks of elite white-collar employees, was disavowed by the films just as the plans started to unfold.","PeriodicalId":44495,"journal":{"name":"Japan Forum","volume":"35 1","pages":"295 - 313"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09555803.2021.1950197","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45088261","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 first explains that the issue came out of the two-year project entitled ‘Historicizing the Discourses of Declining Fertility and Ageing Population in East Asia, in which we reappraised Japan’s post-war history by identifying the demographic, discursive, social, scientific, and political factors that shaped the post-war population policies and reproductive practices. The essay then elaborates on the two interwoven threads of analysis we incorporated to reach the overall goal of the special issue, namely, to complicate understanding of Japanese post-war reproductive politics. The first thread is the politics of reproduction in modern Japanese history was inherently a politics of population. The second is that the medical and scientific knowledge on reproductive bodies and population statistics constituted a discursive register that allowed issues surrounding reproduction and population to be reformulated as concerns of the state. By locating the stories of everyday reproductive practices within a broader history of population politics embedded in the post-war Japan’s sovereignty and statecraft, the special issue clarifies hitherto understudied, yet critical, elements that shaped domestic reproductive experiences and the interpretation of the reproductive bodies in Japan’s post-war history.","PeriodicalId":44495,"journal":{"name":"Japan Forum","volume":"33 1","pages":"307 - 317"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09555803.2021.1899266","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46826095","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 quickly cultivated an engaged readership of teenagers and young adults. Among this readership were participants of a burgeoning nationwide phenomenon of do-it-yourself film production, referred to in Japanese as jishu seisaku eiga (meaning ‘self-made films’), which typically saw young, aspiring filmmakers produce short and feature-length narrative works using 8 mm (and sometimes 16 mm) film cameras. This article contextualises the emergence of Pia magazine and its role in centralising and providing opportunities to Japan’s growing ‘self-made’ filmmaking community throughout the 1970s, 1980s and beyond. This can be viewed on two fronts: firstly, from within the pages of the magazine itself and its strategies to stimulate reader-to-cinema engagement; and, secondly, through the magazine’s organisation of an annual self-made film screening event in the late 1970s that would come to be known as the Pia Film Festival (PFF). PFF remains an essential national showcase for new Japanese filmmakers to this day, but, more importantly, it would herald its own system of independent film production in the form of the PFF Scholarship. This article concludes with a discussion about the PFF Scholarship, and its importance at a time when early career filmmakers were struggling within the Japanese film industry.","PeriodicalId":44495,"journal":{"name":"Japan Forum","volume":"35 1","pages":"314 - 343"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09555803.2021.1895283","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41320990","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}

At the turn of the century and for about a decade, academic literature has regularly described Japan as promoting human security in different ways. However, little has been published on this during the last decade. The aim of this article is two-fold. First, it takes a long-term perspective to trace the evolution of this concept in Japanese diplomacy over the last three decades, in order to assess its significance over time and as of today. Second, it takes a close look at the actual Japanese narrative in order to understand how this concept can be beneficial for Japan’s diplomacy. This article argues that, first, human security has been and still is a central concept in Japan’s diplomatic discourse and, second, Japan’s promotion of human security leads to a positive Japanese diplomatic identity and an increased self-confidence, which Japan wants because of its desire of recognition. This claim is demonstrated by a quantitative and qualitative analysis of central texts of Japanese diplomacy, narrating human security, over the last three decades. For Japan, emphasizing its own efforts and complying with the international norm of human security has a positive effect on its international identity and recognition.","PeriodicalId":44495,"journal":{"name":"Japan Forum","volume":"34 1","pages":"419 - 442"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09555803.2021.1876140","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41994741","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}
