AJJ Anual Meeting (November 5 - 6) en Tokio, Japón
Anthropology of Japan in Japan (AJJ) is a professional organization comprised of over 150 social
scientists living in and/or conducting research on Japan. It seeks
to provide a forum for theoretical and/or empirical work from
scholars and advanced students of all disciplines. Our meetings
are designed to initiate and develop dialogue about Japan based
on the sharing of original research. We are open to a wide range
of research and encourage all those who are interested to submit
a paper proposal.
Meeting Theme: Culture, Identity and Politics: Ethnography in/of Japan
With this theme, we hope to encourage (self-)critical reflections
on culture, identity and politics as these are seen within ethnography
and ethnographic practice in/of Japan.
We thus invite critical
discussions of the articulations of culture, identity and politics as
manifest in discourse and practice at individual, institutional and
ideological levels, and at the intersections and in the interstices thereof.
We further encourage consideration of these phenomena as complexly
inter-related with political-economic, (post-)colonial and (trans)national dimensions of experience in/out of contemporary Japan. We also welcome discussions that critically reflect on the politics of ethnographic research practice in/of contemporary Japan.
We are very pleased to announce that Key Note Speaker for the
conference will be Professor Yamashita Shinji of Tokyo University.
Professor Yamashita will speak on "Somewhere in between: Toward an
Interactive Anthropology in a World Anthropologies Project."
