Success and succession: agritourism, heterotopia and two generations of rural Japanese female entrepreneurs
Abstract Agritourism is promoted as a tool for rural revitalization in Japan. Farm inns are an example of agritourism and are run often by female farmers. They usually start a small family business to find a sufficient and comfortable way to make a living, with some of them focusing very little on profit and growth; they are lifestyle entrepreneurs. This article, based on multiple interviews conducted over several years with four female farmers and farm-inn owners—two elders and their daughters/granddaughters—focuses on the succession of farm-inn businesses from the older generation to the younger generation. A comparison of these different generations’ life stories shows that farm inns provide both generations with new identities as rural women, but in quite differing ways.
期刊介绍:
Asian Anthropology seeks to bring interesting and exciting new anthropological research on Asia to a global audience. Until recently, anthropologists writing on a range of Asian topics in English but seeking a global audience have had to depend largely on Western-based journals to publish their works. Given the increasing number of indigenous anthropologists and anthropologists based in Asia, as well as the increasing interest in Asia among anthropologists everywhere, it is important to have an anthropology journal that is refereed on a global basis but that is editorially Asian-based. Asian Anthropology is editorially based in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan, but welcomes contributions from anthropologists and anthropology-related scholars throughout the world with an interest in Asia, especially East Asia as well as Southeast and South Asia. While the language of the journal is English, we also seek original works translated into English, which will facilitate greater participation and scholarly exchange. The journal will provide a forum for anthropologists working on Asia, in the broadest sense of the term "Asia". We seek your general support through submissions, subscriptions, and comments.
