Tremors in the "Contact Zone" and Challenges to Anthropology Following the Great East Japan Earthquake: The View of a Foreign Resident Anthropologist
In the wake of the Great East Japan Earthquake and resulting tsunami that struck the country on March 11, 2011, there occurred a symbolic colonization of Japan by foreign media and governments—most notably those of the USA—that were eager to provide coverage and analysis (in their own way). As a result, a tense and difficult situation became more stressful and chaotic. This essay, based largely on the author’s own personal observations from relat…

Twelve ess…

The Polder Museum of Ogata-mura: Community, Authenticity, and Sincerity in a Japanese Village
This paper focuses on a museum in a farming village in Akita Prefecture, Japan.

I show that while the politically charged museum has exacerbated differences between residents, it has also become a ne…
