The Construction of Knowledge
This chapter seeks to challenge the conception of objectivity underlying the idea of scientific knowledge, which has been incorporated into the social sciences and is modeled on the scientific criteria embraced by the natural sciences. By addressing the ontological and epistemological critiques of objective knowledge and the ideas of an impartial, value-free stance of the knower/researcher, the chapter highlights the idea that knowledge is social…
Healing an abnormalised body: Bringing the agency of unseen people back to the inter-Korean border
Conventional approaches to the ‘North Korea Problem’ underpin the interests of great powers and the Westphalian canon that buttresses the status quo of a divided Korea, normalising and perpetuating the abnormality of the Korean body. This article draws on a postcolonial approach to international relations and uses East Asian medicine (EAM)’s principles and epistemological underpinnings as an analytical framework to examine the effects of the inte…
Relational masculinities, dependence, and insecurity: Making sense of the 2015 Comfort Women Agreement by unmasking gender
This article critically assesses the 2015 Comfort Women Agreement between Japan and South Korea by employing the lens of gender – an approach that, curiously, has been neglected in making sense of the so-called landmark deal. For this examination, I revisit Connell’s conceptualization of the relationship between hegemonic and subordinate masculinities, defined in terms of complicity and marginalization, and propose two interrelated concepts as a …
Yasukuni and Hiroshima in Clash? War and Peace Museums in Contemporary Japan
This study investigates the role of museums in collective memory by focusing on the Yūshūkan and the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum to excavate the meanings of their visual, narrative, and material constructions of Japan's past war. The research found that the museums in Yasukuni and Hiroshima exhibit markedly contrasting memories in terms of what happened during World War II, what kind of lessons can be drawn, and how the Japanese self‐identify…
Understanding Japan's International Development NGO Policy: Domestic Interpretations, Identities, and Interests
This article examines why Japan decided to promote an international development nongovernmental organization (IDNGO) policy in 1989. While Reimann's 2003 and 2010 analyses argue that international norms and pressure account for the establishment of this policy, I find that domestic actors' interpretations and policy processes significantly contributed to producing it. I argue that the IDNGO policy reflects a shift in policy‐makers' perceptions of…
