Administering Affect: Pop-Culture Japan and the Politics of Anxiety
Being dead otherwise By Anne Allison. Durham, NC: Duke University Press, 2023. 256 pp
The concentration booth and the handshaking lane: Ideologies of the Phatic
Scholars of language and culture have effectively used the language ideology concept to critique the referentialist assumption in the post-Enlightenment conceptualization of language and society. Continuing with this critical project, this article attempts a further reorientation of our analytic metalanguage to explore the ideology of the phatic, the way in which salient emphasis is placed on problems regarding communicative channels of contact. …
Face
In the study of language and culture, the idea of face has carved out at least three “spaces” of analytic concern. First, languages across the world possess numerous idiomatic expressions featuring “face.” In addition to this (i) cultural‐idiomatic space provided and reproduced through ethnolinguistic traditions, face also constitutes (ii) analytic‐metalinguistic space generated as part of a universal metalanguage of analysis. Over and above thes…
Life encapsulated: Addressivity in Japanese life writing
Tearful SojournsandTribal Wives: Primitivism, kinship, suffering, and salvation on Japanese and British reality television
The Japanese and British reality television programs Tearful Sojourns and Tribal Wives both feature protagonists' adventures and residence in "tribal societies." Each program constructs different primitivist images through distinct tropes of kinship; Tearful Sojourns fetishizes filiation and consanguinity, while Tribal Wives fetishizes marriage and affinity. The emphasis on descent and affinity reflects and contributes to cultural kinship crises-…
Phatic Traces: Sociality in Contemporary Japan
Widely recognized as a social problem in Japan, kodokushi (solitary death) stereotypically happens when old people living alone, detached from kin and neighbors, die alone without being noticed immediately, leaving the body to decompose. Reorganizing Japanese discourses of kinship, locality, and other modalities of "connection" ( en ), practices and projects concerning solitary death articulate an emergent fantasy of sociality. I analyze this fan…
Discourses of the Coming: Ignorance, Forgetting, and Prolepsis in Japanese Life-Historiography
This chapter explores a genre of autobiographical historiography known in contemporary Japan as jibunshi, or "personal history" (literally, "I-history").1 The genre specifically refers to "ordinary people's" history, that is, the amateur practice of history writing outside the institutional loci of knowledge such as academia and the media, centering on narratives of everyday life. It has been popular since the late 1980s, especially among the eld…
The gross face and virtual fame: Semiotic mediation in Japanese virtual communication
This article examines an emerging art of self–fashioning and sociality in Japanese–language virtual communication. Through an ethnographic exploration I argue that crucial to the structure and experience of Japanese virtual communication are acts of opacity. People in the Japanese virtual mobilize elaborate techniques of material camouflage and anonymity to effectively conceal their body and obscure their identity. They are normatively faceless. …
