  • Sociology of the Japanese, by the Japanese, for the Japanese

    Open AccessEiji OgumaARTICLEInternational Sociology2021

    The majority of Japanese social scientists have treated the idea of indigenization of social sciences as unrelated to them. However, sociology in Japan also has its own characteristics shaped by the structure of the Japanese society. Since long ago, Japanese sociologists have tried to analyze the unique characteristics of Japanese society and published numerous books on this subject for the Japanese public. Even their eagerness to introduce Weste…

  • Overcoming Empire in Post-Imperial East Asia

    Open AccessEiji OgumaARTICLESocial Science Japan Journal2021

    This is an interesting book, one that encourages the reader to ponder the past and future of Japanese and Asian studies. Barak Kushner, one of the editors, launched a six-year project funded by the European Research Council in March 2013, entitled ‘The Dissolution of the Japanese Empire and the Struggle for Legitimacy in Postwar East Asia, 1945–1965’. The first volume to emerge from the project was The Dismantling of Japan’s Empire in East Asia: …

  • Urban Questions in the Times of Coronavirus. Responding to the Crisis of Public Space

    Open AccessDarko Radović, Davisi Boontharm et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Public Space2020

    This paper is edited on the basis of intensive round-table discussions within a relatively small group of colleagues interested and involved in thinking, making and working towards quality of public space, to discuss, problematise and evaluate what is going on and to speculate on actions suitable for these times, and the times that follow. The title of the round table emphasises questions, deliberately pointing at the enigmas posed by current sit…

  • Salaryman

    Open AccessEiji OgumaOTHERThe Blackwell Encyclopedia of…2019

    Salaryman (“salaryman” also in Japanese) is the informal word referring to business workers in Japan. The word “salaryman” appeared in the 1910s but it did not develop to the term of a social class unifying various vocational office workers like the cases of German “Angestellte” or French “cadre.” This reflected the social history of Japan, in which the office workers' movement has been weak and corporation unions including both office workers an…

  • Studying Japan as ‘the other’

    Eiji OgumaCHAPTERRethinking Japanese Studies2017

    This paper surveys the study of Japan in and outside Japan, and explores the potential to study Japan as the ‘other’. It points out that the size of Japan’s domestic market for scholarship and publication is so large that its cultural commodities have not often considered the needs of overseas markets, with a resulting prevalence of monological studies for domestic consumption. Overseas studies of Japan on the other hand have often adopted an Ori…

  • Maruyama Masao

    Open AccessEiji Oguma, Morvan PerroncelARTICLEEbisu2017

    Maruyama Masao wrote his most politically engaged texts between 1946 and 1951. Then a 30-year-old scholar and recently returned soldier, he was popular with readers who had also fought in the war. Yet he never enjoyed the same level of influence as his more experienced peers in the intellectual community. He retired from the public debate in 1952 due to ill health and, except for a short period around 1960 when a new Japan-United States security …

  • Les Frontières du Japon moderne

    Open AccessEiji Oguma, Pierre François SouyriARTICLEEbisu2003Cited by: 2

    Cet article a pour objet d'étudier la manière dont le Japon s'est emparé des territoires voisins à l'époque moderne et à quel point il les assimilés. Dans un contexte de pression colonialiste occidentale, le Japon se constitue un empire en même temps qu'il met en place un État-nation moderne. Cette simultanéité dans le processus introduit des particularités dans le contrôle des territoires qu'il annexe ou colonise. Selon les périodes et en foncti…
