Developing the Teaching of Social Anthropology in Scottish Schools
This paper lays out some quite successful developments in the teaching of social anthropology in Scottish secondary schools and further education colleges. It is written in a personal style because much of the initial work was carried out by the author who describes the path she navigated and introduces the people who helped her along the way. The project was started with advice from members of Scottish university anthropology departments and pro…
The Orient Strikes Back
At the turn of the 20th Century, Japanese ‘villages' and their exotic occupants delighted and mystified visitors to the Great Exhibitions and Worlds' Fairs . At the beginning of the 21st Century, Japanese tourists have reversed the gaze and now may visit a range of European ‘countries', as well as several other cultural worlds, without ever leaving the shores of Japan. This book suggests that these and other exciting Asian theme parks pose a chal…
Understanding Japanese Society
In this welcome brand new fifth edition of the bestselling textbook Understanding Japanese Society, Joy Hendry takes the reader into the heart of Japanese life. Providing a clear and accessible introduction to Japanese ways of thinking, which does not require any previous knowledge of the country, this book explores Japanese society through the worlds of home, work, play, religion and ritual, covering a full range of life experiences, from childh…
Wrapping
The notion of wrapping has been applied to layers of indirect communication that are used strategically by members of societies that value these nonverbal forms to express and manipulate social relations and relative positions of power. In Japan, gift wrapping offers a paradigmatic example, but the wrapping of bodies, of space (such as shrines and museum space), of time, and of people are also found elsewhere, where they play a directly comparabl…
License to Play
There is something a bit sinister about this book. Despite its title and subject matter, the cover depicts characters who look concerned, to say the least, and the main figure in the centre of it carries a radio-like machine sporting a Japanese imperial flag, which—if I am not imagining it—is reflected in her (or possibly his) eyes. Three apparently unconnected human beings occupy the space of a wide urban street crossing, while above them on a b…

An Introduction to Social Anthropology
Anthropology in Scottish Schools
This article explores the opportunity to introduce anthropology into a new more flexible Scottish secondary school curriculum. A longtime advocate of public anthropology, the author describes her collaboration with Scottish-based anthropologists and teachers and how she is working to bring this idea to fruition. She also invites readers to help with this process where appropriate
The state of anthropology in and of Japan
As there are many anthropologists in Japan, including those who work elsewhere, the focus here is largely on foreign anthropologists who choose Japan as a field, and whose numbers have increased exponentially during the working lifetime of the author. The perspective is from Europe, but the vital cooperation of local anthropologists in Japan is acknowledged from the outset. The paper recounts ways in which these anthropologists have themselves co…

Understanding Japanese Society
With the ever growing contact between Japan and the rest of the world comes an increasingly important need to understand a society that is fascinating but still often confusing to the outsider. In this brand new fourth edition of Understanding Japanese Society Joy Hendry brings the reader up to date both with recent changes as Japan hit the world headlines under the triple 2011 disasters, and with underlying continuities in ways of thinking that …

Building bridges, common ground, and the role of the anthropologist
This article considers the role of the anthropologist in the context of local ideas about what we do, and a notable difference between the positive attitudes to our work in the author's long-standing field sites of Japan, and the more negative ones found in recent research in the culture centres of people who call themselves Indigenous, particularly in Canada. It draws on the history of anthropology in Japan, as well as the practice of the recent…

Interpreting Japanese Society
An ethnographer in the global arena
In this article Hendry addresses the difficulties and apparent contradictions of applying the qualitative rigour of the ethnographic research method to fieldwork carried out in a global context. While pursuing a discourse evidently shared by people indigenous to many different parts of the world, the author reflects on why she feels the work she is doing still draws on elements of the qualitative strength of the method first developed by her own …
Japanese Culture and Behavior
Becoming Japanese
The children are more than mere pictures. They tell us the truths about Japan. So wrote a visitor to Japan at the turn of the century and this view underlies the title of this book. The first few years of a child's life are vitally imporant for preparing it to be a member of the society to which it belongs. Japanese methods of childcare are consequently directed towards taking advantage of the receptivity of the early years. They are also differe…

To Wrap or Not to Wrap
The general problems for anthropologists of penetrating politeness and other forms of indirection are discussed from two angles: forms of discourse and the anthropologist's place within them. The case of Japan is examined in detail to demonstrate the variablity of the relationship between the said and the unsaid, lllustrating that forms ofhlnguistic politeness may here be interpreted as one example ofa 'wrapping' principle, paradigmatic in the ca…

Kindergartens and the Transition from Home to School Education
Although kindergartens are not part of the compulsory education system in Japan, most parents are able to send their pre-school children for one if not two or more years to a professionally-run establishment. Academic activities are not necessarily emphasised. The early acquisition of basic skills such as reading and writing is encouraged by mothers themselves, and some private kindergartens reinforce their teaching, but the more universal expect…
