▼ M.A. University of Hawaii at Manoa 2013.
While there have been a substantial amount of academic studies on the representation of Asian and Asian Americans in film and literature, far less has been written about their representation in museum exhibitions. With this thesis, I hope to help bridge a gap between the fields of Asian American studies and museum studies. One of my primary interests in museum studies is in examining the relationships that museums forge and maintain with their communities and the way that those relationships are always in flux. Currently, many museums and cultural organizations are seeking new ways to reach more diverse audiences, recognizing they will not be sustainable if they only appeal to what has traditionally been the American museum's audience in the recent past – middle and upper middle class white Americans.
By examining the relationships between several different community groups in Canton, I would like this study to contribute to the existing literature on museum and communities as well as literature on the representation of cultures in a museum setting. Leilani Nishime's article "Communities on Display," one of the first readings I encountered that addresses the representation of Asian Americans (and specifically Japanese Americans) in museums, was very influential in cultivating my desire to pursue further research in this area. I was also greatly inspired by Robert Lavenda's ethnographic case study, "Festivals and Public Culture," in Minnesota, the results of which were published in the anthology, Museum and Communities: The Politics of Public Culture. This article stood out for me long before I began work on this project, namely because ofthe similarities I found between the small towns that Lavenda examines and the small towns that I grew up around in the Stark County area.
In Canton, Asians were subjected to a "white gaze" and became objects of curiosity. At times, little thought was given to the reactions of the Japanese American/Asian American communities towards the content of some of the events. When Japanese and Japanese American participants did make suggestions, they were often rejected, ignored, or questioned. KLC members were reluctant to relinquish their idea of how they wanted to see Japanese culture presented an idea of Japan that was based on Orientalist imagery and pastoral romanticism.
The Kimono as Art exhibition and its auxiliary events proposed to educate the people of Canton about Japanese culture. However, it also alienated Asian Americans from the majority of the Canton community by perpetuating Orientalist themes that rendered them as "the Other" and place them on the periphery of mainstream American culture.
The complexity of overlapping relationships in Canton between the Japanese and Japanese Americans; between the Arts in Stark and the Canton Museum of Art; between working, lower middle class, and the upper middle class audiences; and between the Japanese/Japanese Americans and the Kimono Leadership Committee – provided an interesting case study…

▼ Ph.D. University of Hawaii at Manoa 2013.
Japanese hierarchical relations called senpai-koohai 'senior-junior', which in school are based on different class standings, have been observed to be salient and stable across different situations beyond school, once such relations are built between a pair of people (Dunn, 1996; Nakane, 1967/1972). However, presuming that such relations are static in nature is problematic in light of social constructionist views, especially because there are no studies that examine college students' dyadic or multiparty interactions in terms of their hierarchical relationship building.
This dissertation examines how college students of different class levels interact in practice by analyzing multiparty interactions during an extracurricular activity at a Japanese college. Drawing on indexicality approaches (Ochs, 1992, 1993; Silverstein, 1983), I focus on three linguistic forms: speech styles, address and reference terms, and knowledge-related stance markers.
The results of the analyses suggest that the construction of senpai-koohai relationships is influenced by two types of context of talk, on-stage and off-stage. During on-stage talk, the participants' club roles are foregrounded, which puts less focus on their senpai-koohai identities. During offstage talk, their identities are less influenced by their club roles, and this situation allows more freedom for other identities, which include senpai-koohai, to be constructed.
A speaker's use of linguistic forms can be indexical to the context, while the meaning of a linguistic form is under the influence of the context. Moreover, the construction of senpai-koohai relations is also influenced by the content of the conversation. Overall, this dissertation demonstrates that, in the data analyzed, senpai-koohai relations among college students are much more fluid in nature than has been shown in previous studies.

▼ Aum Shinrikyo, a religious sect generally seen as a
karuto or “cult” in Japanese society, carried out sarin gas attacks
in 1995. Today, a successor group called Aleph has successfully
recruited numerous converts, despite the negative profile of Aum in
the Japanese media. This study seeks to understand this phenomenon.
It first investigates Japanese public representations of new
religious movements. Then, it examines discourses presented by
Aleph on its official website and studies its recruitment
strategies, paying attention to its use of symbols and images. It
finds that Aleph highlights certain cultural themes that have
meaning and value to many Japanese people, which contrasts with the
hostile public depictions of Aum and other such groups. In
particular, I argue that Aleph’s use of symbols and images plays a
significant role in the recent, rapid increase of new converts
because the symbols and images rehabilitate its reputation in the
Japanese public.

▼ This research project aims to identify and describe those qualities that contribute to an architectural response to nature’s phenomena, such as time (constant change) and space (Ma **), our spatial conception and experience, and our relationship with nature (En *). Often these qualities are present in the form of architectural elements and methods, composition of elements. Possibly this research develops tools based on Japanese philosophical and architectural principles and notions in which emptiness and ephemerality play a key role.

▼ This study explores how native and non-native speakers
(L1 English intermediate) of Japanese combine clauses in spoken
language, examines how clause-combining is presented in Japanese
textbooks, and makes suggestions to teaching. It was found that
native speakers tend to combine clauses but non-native speakers
tend not to. Of the three ways to combine clauses, the native
speakers used conjunctive suffixes the most, followed by
conjunctive particles. Conjunctions were used least. The non-native
speakers showed a preference for conjunctions. Most of the forms
used by the non-native speakers were used by the native speakers
and covered in the textbooks. The forms frequently used by the
nonnative speakers were used by the native speakers frequently, and
were taught early. However, some of the forms which the native
speakers used were not presented in the textbooks at all.
Introducing clause-combining forms from the beginning and teaching
important forms in the textbooks is suggested.

▼ This dissertation covers the political, economic, and social circumstances in Japan that led to the emigration from Hiroshima prefecture, and the lives and communities of these emigrants in Canada. It traces the gradual conversion of a sojourner society to family-centred communities with social relationships modelled upon the Hiroshima village societies the immigrants came from. Ostracized by white workers, exploited by the British Columbia entrepreneurs in a “split labour market,” and denigrated to second class citizenship by institutional racism, the pioneers nevertheless persevered and reared their Canadian-born nisei children to be
Japanese Canadians. That is, they “acculturated” their offspring with
Japanese language and traditions so that the nisei would be able both to function within the
Japanese communities in Canada and would be proud of their heritage. The degree of acculturation of the nisei varied and was dependent on many factors: family goals, environments, time periods, as well as individual inclinations. This study employed both English and
Japanese language sources including oral interviews of over fifty Hiroshima settlers and their descendants residing in Japan and in Canada.

▼ Transitions from the first kabuki performance abroad in Russia in 1928 to the recent performances around the world show various changes in the purpose and production of kabuki performances overseas. Kabuki has been performed as a
Japanese traditional art in the U.S. for about 60 years, and the United States has seen more kabuki than any other country outside of Japan. Those tours were closely tied to national cultural policy of both Japan and the USA in the early years. The first kabuki tour to New York in 1960 helped to reestablish the U.S-Japan relationship after the war.
However, recently kabuki performances in the US have shifted into entertaining and educational events with regional rather than national import. This thesis will investigate productions of large scale Grand Kabuki (Shochiku corporation performers and management) and small scale kabuki related events in the United States, demonstrating how the purposes and the productions have changed throughout the 21st century as compared to the 20th century. The investigation will focus on (1) event management (2) program selection (3) technology (4) audiences' knowledge and experience.
After Chapter Two introduces international kabuki tours in the early stage, Chapter Three will explore the two large-scale U.S. tours in the 20th century: the first U.S. tour in 1960 and the 1990 tour which covered widest area in the USA. In the 21st century, three large scale productions came to the U.S. over six times. Heisei Nakamura-za (troupe) visited New York in 2004, 2007 and 2014. Chikamatsu-za came to three cities in 2005. Kabuki joined the Japan kabuki festival in Las Vegas in 2015 and 2016 with two different productions. Chapter Four will investigate these large-scale tours and Chapter Five will look into small scale Shochiku-related kabuki events using Portland, Oregon as a sample city. Shochiku organized kabuki events in Portland in 2002, 2009, and 2017. These events included dance performances, make-up demonstrations, and in 2017 a costume exhibition. Research on small scale events is also important to understand new ways to present kabuki abroad.

▼ Ph.D. University of Hawaii at Manoa 2011.
This dissertation is the first complete grammar of the Eastern Old Japanese (EOJ) dialects written in a modern descriptive linguistic framework, and the first ever in the English language. The EOJ dialects were spoken in the modern Kantō area of Japan during the Nara period (8th century CE), and are recorded in books 14 and 20 of the Man'yōshu poetry anthology. These dialects differ in many striking ways from the Nara dialect of Western Old Japanese, which is the main language of the ancient Japanese texts.
The first half of the dissertation is the first comprehensive attempt to reconstruct the phonology of all eleven attested provincial speech varieties, and many new dialect-specific phonological mergers and shifts are presented based on a new hypothesis of innovative orthographic practices by the scribes. The second half is the grammar proper, with all noun, adjective, and verb morphology described in detail and once again examined independently in each of the eleven provinces. The complex system of particles is also described in detail, in a similar fashion. The dissertation concludes with a new dialect taxonomy firmly rooted in the study of shared linguistic innovations across the provinces.
Also included are three appendices. Among these is a new, fully annotated EOJ corpus that was compiled based on the comparative analysis of four primary Man'yōshu manuscripts, using the oldest extant manuscript, the Genryaku Kōhon, as the main source. No previous linguistic study on EOJ has used the Genryaku Kōhon as the primary source, and this dissertation argues that many important features of the dialects are lost when other manuscripts, such as the Nishi Honganji-Bon, are taken as primary.

▼ M.A. University of Hawaii at Manoa 2011.
The modern Japanese textbook system can be traced back to the post World War II textbook reform by the U.S. government's State-War-Navy Coordinating Committee (SWNCC). Their efforts to "demilitarize" and "denationalize" the textbooks through a textbook authorization and research council set the parameters by which textbooks are approved today. This initial condition of a strong centralized textbook review committee has remained for the last half century. The recent availability of the official minutes of the research council opens an opportunity to better understand how this committee operates. Using the available official minutes from 2000-2009, this paper will focus on review process of the textbooks published by Fusosha and how it was able to pass through a system initially designed to keep such books out of circulation in public education.

▼ M.F.A. University of Hawaii at Manoa 2011.
I am holding a pot in my hand. It is no ordinary pot, but one made about 1,000 years ago. It was a gift from my grandmother. I am first impressed by its wonderful condition – it is in perfect condition, without any cracks or chips to mar its line, nor markings on its surface. How could it have passed through so many ages without breaking, I wonder. Second, I find it very impressive that ancient craftsmen could create such a beautifully simple shape. When I pick it up, I feel a very utilitarian shape, and a smooth texture, one that I assume was achieved from being used again and again by hundreds of people for a millennium in time. When I smell the pot, it is like smelling the earth. I look at it, the faded pinkish color of the surface, the color of human skin, along with the slight stain on it that was probably made by many years of use. It all just intrigues me. All of those impressions transport me through time, beyond a thousand years, connecting the potter, his family, and the society of that time to myself. The pot is timeless, no matter when it was created, it speaks out to the holder.
This experience made me start to think about "time." Even though there are a thousand years distance between me and the potter, we can still connect through the pot, as long as I touch and feel it. For me, until I saw this pot, time was an objective phenomenon, as other people normally think of it. That is, time does not go backward, only forward. But in this moment when I touched and felt this wonderful pot, "time" in my mind travels back and forth, disregarding the minute hand of the watch which marks the real passage of time in the present and relentlessly toward the future.
One of my prints for my thesis exhibition, I printed hundred times with multiple colors and images on each time, and the other print has only few layered colors and images, but they were held at the same space at the same time, and were also mysteriously harmonized together. I intended to put together those prints made of different time, different colors, different layers, but also made of the same technical process. Each print's history is unique by the subtle color difference, and composition of the central dot image, but they are also all similar in the soft color and the dot images.

▼ Ever since they opened their country to the world in the late nineteenth century, the
Japanese experienced drastic changes in many aspects. They rapidly absorbed Western culture with their desperate hope to modernize their country in politics, the sciences, and art. Literature was not an exception. Yosano Akiko (1878-1942), who is well known as a pivotal poet of
Japanese Romanticism, absorbed this new modern sense of self and individuality and advocated the poetic expression of one's private and personal emotions.
In premodern Japan, poets had traditionally expressed their feelings through a set, limited range of classical landscapes and natural objects, which served as communal symbols
Japanese poets shared across centuries. The seasons greatly occupied the attention of poets for more than a thousand years. The moon also is an important element in
Japanese poetry with a set range of conventionalized poetic associations. However, by the turn of twentieth century, Yosano Akiko absorbed from the West the inspiration to express her personal feelings with her own invented moonlit landscapes, particularly ones set during spring and summer evenings. This thesis investigates what changes she made to the poetic conventions of the moon and the seasons in traditional thirty-one-syllable poetry.

▼ Conjunctions in Japanese are usually described as a class of particles which function to
link clauses. Recently many so-called conjunctions can be found at sentence-final
position exhibiting characteristics similar to those of a sentence-final particle. Sentence-final
particles in Japanese are a type of particle used at utterance-final position, and
indicate a speaker‟s attitude, emotions, feelings or strategy reflecting the speaker‟s
stance towards the content of the information being uttered. In other words, they
exhibit a variety of discourse-pragmatic functions. The focus of this study has been to
examine the conjunction shi at sentence-final position in naturally occurring
conversations observing any functional change/shift away from the traditional usage
with particular reference to Kansai dialects.
The use of sentence-final shi in informal Japanese dialogue was assessed by collecting
examples which occurred in conversations of native speakers. These provided data
from a cross-section of people, ages, predominantly residing in the Kansai area. The
data was analysed according to a number of criteria including the response of the
interlocutor, the extent inference is necessary to understand the intended message, and
the pragmatic effects caused by sentence-final shi.
This study establishes that there is an emergence of a new usage of shi in Japan from the
traditional conjunction (clause linking particle) to that of a sentence-final particle. The
traditional usage has not disappeared but coexists with the new usage. Previous studies
have suggested sentence-final shi is associated with a negative tone; while for the most
part, shi at sentence-final position expresses the speaker‟s observation with a negative
stance, there are times observed in this study when shi is used in ways that do not
necessarily express the speaker‟s negative view. This represents a significant new
finding of the study. The observations made in this study are based on Kansai dialects,
and whether they are true of standard Japanese is beyond the scope of this study.

▼ This thesis endeavors to create an architecture that
will contribute to the revitalization of Vancouver’s Japantown,
mending severed cultural ties between the community and this
historically significant neighborhood. Building upon the success of
the Powell Street
Japanese Cultural Festival, this project proposes
a series of architectural interventions that will re-establish a
Japanese-Canadian presence and serve as the catalyst for future
phases of development. Focusing on the processes and rituals that
permeate
Japanese culture, the design seeks to celebrate the act of
making at both the neighborhood and building scales. The initial
phase of development concentrates on the preparation and
consumption of
Japanese foodstuffs and their potential to mitigate
existing urban maladies.

▼ This study traces the diverse interpretations of Japan’s oldest official history, the 720 Nihon shoki, from its earliest scholarly treatment in the ninth century until its enshrinement within the canon of Japanese national literature in the modern period. Elites in the early eighth century produced a number of texts that described the fundamental principles of the world and the contours of the Japanese empire, such as Kojiki (712), Kaifūsō (751), Man’yōshū (late 8th c.), and as the official court narrative, Nihon shoki. While each of these possesses its own “imperial imagination,” Nihon shoki is distinct because it heavily incorporates historical polities across Northeast Asia, especially on the Korean peninsula, in creating a narrative of ancient Japan in the world. Further, Nihon shoki, while written primarily in Literary Sinitic, also includes elements of the Japanese vernacular, and rather than delineating a single orthodox narrative, provides a number of alternative, conflicting accounts of Japanese mythology. These characteristics animated much of the debate surrounding the text’s proper reading and meaning as later commentators grappled with its exegesis.
The dissertation comprises an introduction and five chapters. The first chapter analyzes the discourse surrounding the Nihon shoki in the eighth and ninth centuries, when lectures were periodically given on the text at court. The notes from these lectures reveal controversies over how the text was composed and the proper method of reading it. After the lectures, courtiers composed Japanese poetry about major figures depicted in the work, frequently creating new mythologies that departed from the original as they sought to connect their vision of antiquity with the present. The poems also demonstrate the use of digests and alternative texts that were used as stand-ins for Nihon shoki. I discuss two of these in detail, Kogo shūi (807) and Sendai kuji hongi (c. 936), and show how they took advantage of ambiguities in Nihon shoki to position themselves as authoritative accounts.
In Chapter 2, I take up approaches that used Nihon shoki as an originary narrative from the twelfth to fifteenth centuries. This type of treatment begins to appear to a limited degree in poetic treatises such as Minamoto no Toshiyori’s Toshiyori zuinō (1113) and Fujiwara no Nakazane’s Kigōshō (1116) and became widespread through the middle of the twelfth century. These same mid-century scholars were also responsible for producing picture scrolls based on the text and the first Nihon shoki commentary, Shinzei’s Nihongi shō (circa 1150). As the trend intensified, citations began to go further and farther afield, often attributing stories and facts to Nihon shoki that are not in the original text. Use of Nihon shoki as an originary narrative was also adopted in political treatises by commentators such as Jien (1155-1225), and I discuss the methods and acrobatic intellectual maneuvers of these agents in blending Buddhist and continental cosmology with the Nihon shoki creation…

▼ The
Japanese language has an abundance of onomatopoeic and mimetic expressions.
Native speakers use this unique feature of the language frequently. However,
in the reading of
Japanese authentic materials, such as literature, newspapers and advertisements,
many intermediate to advanced JFL students are unable to understand the
meaning of onomatope.
The purpose of this project is to provide
Japanese as a foreign language
(JFL) teachers and students effective and easy-to-use teaching materials focusing on
onomatope, presented through the use of authentic cultural products such as literature,
music and song, newspapers, and advertisements. Commonly used and highly functional onomatope words, phrases, and expressions are presented with abundant examples of
English translations. Useful resources are listed to facilitate selection of materials.
This project focuses on teaching
Japanese onomatopoetic and mimetic words
in JFL classrooms, using
Japanese cultural products. Depicting not only various sounds
and voices produced by animated beings and inanimate objects,
Japanese onomatopoeias
and mimesis also describe ???non-audible??? situations, such as appearance, scenes, and
psychological states of living things, including humans and animals. This type of lexicon
is not adequately addressed in JFL classrooms, despite its unique and effective
functions (mainly as adverbs), and frequent use in daily life.
Japanese onomatope have rich and unique cultural and linguistic elements.
By learning onomatope via authentic materials, such as the cultural products introduced
in the appendices of this project, JFL learners can more effectively acquire onomotope
in a natural way. When JFL students acquire this important linguistic aspect of language,
they are able to deepen their understanding of
Japanese culture, and develop
more native-like, natural expressions and communicative competence.

▼ peer-reviewed
English education in Japan has been undergoing a transformation, especially in
the last decade, in order to improve on the statically low levels of communicative ability
in English among Japanese high school graduates, compared to other Asian countries.
One of the main areas under investigation in Japan in recent years has been the apparent
lack of motivation among Japanese high school students to study English at school.
Despite the current interest in motivation and learning in Japan, qualitative research into
high school learner opinions and thoughts regarding their own individual experiences of
learning English, is still limited.
This study: (1) explores the individual learner experiences of high school
students in Japan, (2) determines whether future-self identities exist among these
students, (3) examines if there is a relationship between these language learning
experiences and future-self identities, and (4) investigates if and how future-self
identities can be nurtured to improve motivation in the second language classroom.
Qualitative and quantitative research was carried out by the researcher in a
Japanese high school in order to investigate the language learning experiences and
identities of the students in the school. This included carrying out surveys, interviews
and journal studies with the participants. One of the main findings of the study was that
students who possessed positive experiences of using English in their class with their
teachers also possessed strong images of themselves using English in their future.
Ultimately, this research makes an overall contribution to the development of
L2 motivation studies in an attempt to upturn downward trends in English language
learning in Japan.

▼ Under the assumption that the lexicon and syntax are independent modules of grammar, one must account for the m̀apping' between these two modules, i.e. how the information in the lexicon is projected onto syntax. In this dissertation, I investigate the nature of the mapping system by examining three case studies from Japanese that involve the same predicates exhibiting variable syntactic and semantic behaviors and propose analyses in which their variable behaviors are derived from their underlying syntactic structures without postulating multiple lexical entries. Chapter 2 examines passive constructions with two different by-phrases. I argue that the syntactic and semantic differences between the passive constructions with the two by-phrases can be accounted for by adopting an independently proposed generalization about reconstruction of A-moved arguments as well as an independently proposed hypothesis that judgment forms are syntactically encoded. Chapter 3 examines four aspectual verbs. I argue that the variable syntactic and semantic behaviors exhibited by four Japanese aspectual verbs as a natural class and variable behaviors within individual aspectual verbs can be accounted for if they are analyzed as functional heads encoding aspectual distinctions in syntax. Chapter 4 examines a group of two-place verbs with alternating complement marking (the accusative-oblique alternations). I argue that the accusative-oblique alternations are transitive-unaccusative alternations whereby single verbs are associated with two fundamentally different underlying syntactic structures. Throughout these chapters, arguments for my analyses are supported by experimentally elicited sentence acceptability judgments. By demonstrating that the variable syntactic and semantic behaviors exhibited by these predicates can be successfully accounted for with syntactic structures that are motivated by independently proposed generalizations and empirical evidence, this dissertation presents novel arguments for the hypothesis that syntax at least partially determines the distribution and interpretation of verbs and their arguments

▼ In recent years, the number of people, both students and adults, learning
Japanese has been on the rise throughout the world. With such a fast development, problems and issues concerning both the acquisition of the
Japanese language and the teaching method used have become evident. In particular one of the most challenging features of the language has noticeably been detected in the two particles wa and ga. Those two particles, having mainly the function of theme and
subject markers, represent an intriguing point for scholars and students alike. Their uses have been at the center of analysis for many years and many linguists have devoted a huge part of their research to inspect their most debated aspects. Researches have focused on different functions each particle can assume and, how their usages can influence the general meaning of a sentence. From Kuno‟s The structure of the
Japanese language, considered to be the cornerstone in the field, many different angles of analysis have been used to describe these two particles. Wa and ga are an interesting point of analysis inasmuch as their distinction is vague and subtle both for learners and for
Japanese native speakers. Hence, with my research I would like to analyze this issue more in depth, producing evidences of a link between teaching method and particles errors. Through the analysis of written production by L2
Japanese learners, this research confirmed previous findings. It demonstrated a link between classroom instruction and errors in particles usage, calling for much needed reform in
Japanese second language teaching.

▼ This thesis attempts to answer the following two main research questions:1) In what order should learners of
Japanese as a second language learn words and characters in order to be able to read
Japanese? 2) How will the order vary according to the purpose of learning? To answer these questions, a Vocabulary Database for Reading
Japanese (VDRJ) and a Character Database of
Japanese (CDJ) were first developed from the Balanced Contemporary Corpus of Written
Japanese (BCCWJ) 2009 monitor version (NINJAL, 2009) which contains book texts and internet-forum site texts with 33 million running words in total. Word and character rankings for international students, non-academic learners and general written
Japanese were included in these databases. These rankings were proven to be valid for their respective purposes as they provided higher text coverage for the target texts than other texts.
After analysing the use of vocabulary and characters in
Japanese, three groups of domain-specific words, namely common academic words, limited-academic-domain words and literary words were extracted. In order to test the expected efficiency for learning these groups of words, an index entitled Text Covering Efficiency (TCE) in different types of texts was proposed.
The TCE represents the expected return per unit of text length from learning a group of words. As such, the TCE score in the target text domain should determine the order in which words in this domain are most efficiently learned. Indeed, the extracted common academic words and limited-academic-domain words showed significantly higher text coverage and TCE scores in academic texts than in other texts. Literary words also provided high text coverage and high TCE scores in literary texts, despite a lower efficiency level than that of academic vocabulary in academic texts. Learning domain-specific words is expected to be much more efficient than learning other words at the intermediate level. At the advanced level or above, learning domain-specific words will be further more efficient in some domains such as the natural sciences. In sum, the TCE has been shown to provide useful information for deciding on the learning order of various groups of words.
Other findings based on the analyses using the databases and word lists include the features of some indices for dispersion and adjusted frequency, lexical features of different media and genres, indexicality of the distributions of word origins and parts of speech, and the discrepancy between learning orders of words and Kanji. A Lexical Learning Possibility Index for a Reading Text (LEPIX) was also proposed for the simplification of a text as a vocabulary learning resource.

▼ Japanese postgraduate students' perceptions of and attitudes towards plagiarism were investigated using phenomenology as the methodological approach. Four postgraduate students participated in a questionnaire and three of these students in a follow-up interview. Analysis showed that students’ perceptions of and attitudes towards plagiarism were initiated in Japan, which constituted some instruction on citation techniques and not so strict regulations. Their transition to Australia was contrasted with very strict regulations, more teachings on plagiarism and a more heavy emphasis on written essay work. Students in general had no problem understanding the general concept of plagiarism or learning more specific techniques of attribution but expressed the need for more explicit instruction for each referencing style required. Some interfering issues including language exposure, assignment overloading and time constraints, were mentioned by students. This was evident in one case of inadvertent plagiarism recorded where time pressures resulted in incomplete proofreading. Despite this, there was no indication that this student or the others had trouble understanding methods of attribution or had serious trouble incorporating external sources into their own work. There was a fair amount of variation in attitudes in the Japanese academic context but attitudes were consistent and in synchrony with Australian university regulations. In addition, three distinct attitudes were present in the three interviewed students, where more time engaged in the Australian academic context meant attitudes were more consistent with university regulations. In all instances though, all students showed a connection with their primary academic context and some antagonism to some rules and regulations in Australia.
It is hoped the results from this research study can help researchers and education providers better help Japanese postgraduate students by understanding that they have some preliminary understandings of plagiarism issues and can adapt to their new academic context without major problems, as competent and resilient students.

▼ The
Japanese language is often described as subtle and vague by non-native
Japanese speakers. Even simple
Japanese sentences can cause difficulty for non-native
Japanese speakers. One reason for this difficulty may be differences in the cognitive
process of verbalization. Specifically, there are different roles for speakers and listeners
in
Japanese and English. Unlike English, native
Japanese speakers prefer using
monologue type communication that often omits subjects and objects. Thus, non-native
Japanese speakers have difficulty decoding native
Japanese communication. In addition,
non-native
Japanese speakers lack knowledge about how native
Japanese speakers
capture and verbalize certain situations. A textbook analysis reveals that three current
Japanese textbooks do not adequately address these two important cognitive linguistic
differences between
Japanese and English. Without proper explanation and application of
these cognitive linguistic concepts, developing natural
Japanese is difficult.

▼ Cette thèse porte sur la question de l’identité de l’architecture contemporaine au Japon à travers l’esthétique traditionnelle, profondément ancrée dans l’ensemble de la culture ancienne de ce pays : un véritable cheminement passant à la fois par l’intellectuel, le spirituel et l’artistique. L’objet de cette recherche est donc d’analyser l’interrelation existante entre tradition et modernité ; d’établir une « filiation », une possible évolution et de comprendre aussi la transformation de l’architecture contemporaine et ses problématiques à travers les différents concepts, qui fondent l’ensemble de l’esthétique au Japon, entre temporalité et spatialité. Il est question d’apporter un éclairage sur les expressions de la tradition : une « nouvelle tradition », une japonéité, où la tradition devient la matrice de la modernité. La tradition est à comprendre alors comme un véritable catalyseur. L’objectif de cette thèse est de montrer que l’architecture japonaise a su résoudre la difficile adéquation de relier la tradition nationale et la modernité internationale. La tradition semble être aussi l’une des matrices du futur. En d’autres termes, il s’agit de comprendre les traditions culturelles japonaises comme de véritables leviers conceptuels pour la nouvelle génération d’architectes japonais. La tradition est un héritage du passé qu’il faut préserver pour garder une identité, et qui permet de donner un chemin et une perspective pour l’avenir. De la qualité du rapport avec la tradition dépend non seulement l’harmonie et la beauté du cadre de vie, mais aussi la richesse du message architectural à transmettre aux générations futures.
This thesis focuses on the question of the identity of contemporary Japanese architecture through Japanese traditions and aesthetics, deeply rooted from the cultural background of Japan : a real passage through both intellectual, spiritual and artistic fields. The purpose of this research is to analyze the interrelation existing between tradition and modernity ; to establish a filiation, or a lineage, a possible evolution, to understand the transformation of Japanese architecture through different concepts between space and time. It comes to shed light on the expression of tradition in Japanese architecture : a “new tradition”, a notion of japan-ness where tradition becomes the matrix of modernity. In other words, tradition could be understand as a true catalyst. The goal of this thesis is to show that Japanese architecture has resolved the difficult balance between National tradition and International modernity. The tradition seems to be also one of the matrix of the future. The tradition is not only architectural, but it includes spirituality, aesthetics, art, and the manner how culture is linking to space and time. In other words, it is important to understand the cultural Japanese tradition background as a true conceptual levers for the new generation of Japanese architects. The tradition is a legacy of the past which should be preserved to maintain an identity, which could give a path,…

First-person singular pronouns in Japanese: How do they work in conversation?.

▼ Subjectivity – expression of our thoughts and emotions – is the essence of everyday conversation (e.g., Benveniste, 1971; Scheibman, 2002). Previous studies have found that subjectivity is expressed in a variety of linguistic items in a wide range of languages. First-person singular (1SG) pronouns may be one of the most fundamental linguistic items for expressing subjectivity because they directly reflect the speaker, who is the owner of subjective point of view. This dissertation explores the use of 1SG pronouns in
Japanese utilizing the analysis of naturally occurring conversational data. In
Japanese, personal pronouns including first person are used infrequently, especially in spoken language, and the first-person reference is often unexpressed (what is known as pronoun ellipsis). Although they may look odd or ill-formed from the perspective of languages that have rigid syntactic structures such as English, utterances with unexpressed elements can be considered to be the default' in
Japanese conversation. Because of the variability of expression of 1SG pronouns, it is assumed that they add some pragmatic functions when they are explicitly expressed. Data analyses of 1SG pronouns taken from naturally occurring conversation revealed that the use is often motivated by various discourse-pragmatic functions such as expressing subjectivity, introducing a topic, and holding the floor rather than referential necessity. The speaker decides to use 1SG pronouns or not to use them in order to achieve his or her particular communicative goals. First-person singular pronouns in
Japanese are a versatile linguistic item beyond so-called pronouns that simply replace nouns. This strongly suggests that 1SG pronouns are essentially different from English I, and will lead us to reconsider the categorization of 1SG pronouns in
Japanese. Furthermore, the use and nonuse of 1SG pronouns in
Japanese has important educational implications. In order to teach linguistic items that are not syntactically required but are used by pragmatic motivations, I suggest that educators seek more effective teaching methods based on authentic language use.'

▼ Depuis la fin de la guerre la société japonaise connaît d’importants changements, le cinéma japonais traitant de son époque est on pourrait dire comme d’autres formes d’expressions artistiques un indicateur des mœurs, des fluctuations de la société, par le regard personnel d’un auteur. Nous verrons dans notre développement dans lequel nous nous arrêterons plus spécialement sur des œuvres « clé » comment par le prisme du personnage du « mauvais garçon », la vision d’un artiste, en l’occurrence un cinéaste prend le plus souvent racine dans une réalité sociale et générationnelle ; et dans le cas du Japon si elle est révélatrice ou non d’une « spécificité » japonaise dans le traitement du récit. Nous avons choisi une approche socio-historique pour notre travail, ainsi les deux parties de cette thèse sont divisées de la sorte : Les diverses formes de représentation des différents groupes de sous culture de la jeunesse japonaise, puis L’évocation de personnages écartés du groupe par ostracisme ou par leur propre volonté. Au cours de la première partie nous étudierons les films dits du Taiyôzoku (la tribu du soleil) tirés des écrits d’Ishihara Shintarô. Puis certains films de la nouvelle vague japonaise, la nouvelle vague dite Shôchiku (du studio du même nom). Dans un deuxième temps nous traiterons des films qui mettent en scène des jeunes appartenant aux sous cultures futenzoku (les hippies) et Bôsôzoku (les gangs de motards). Dans la seconde partie, nous analyserons les films d’Oshima Nagisa et Suzuki Seijun ayant pour sujet des « mauvais garçons ». Nous avons ensuite étudié le yakuza eiga (film de gangsters), plus particulièrement Jingi no hakaba de Fukasaku Kinji réalisé en 1965. Nous terminons notre étude avec l’évocation et les analyses de films des années 1990-2000, ceux d'Iwai shunji, Toyada Toshiaki ou encore Kitano Takeshi.
Since the end of the War, Japanese society has gone through important changes; Japanese cinema dealing with its history is, we could say, as other forms of artistic expression, an indicator of customs, fluctuations in society, through the eyes of an author.We shall see in our development, in which we will focus in particular on «key» works, how, by the means of the «bad boy» character, the vision of an artist, here a film-maker, usually takes root in a social and generational reality, and in the case of Japan, whether it is revealing or not of a specific Japanese narrative process.We have chosen a socio-historical approach to our work, thus the two parts of this thesis can be divided as follows:The various forms of representation of the different groups of Japanese youth sub-culture, and then identifying the characters ruled out by the group, either by ostracism or by their own will.First, we shall study the so-called Taiyôzoku (tribe of the sun) films, based on Ishihara Shintarô’s written works. Next, some Japanese new wave films, notably of Shôchiku genre (from the studio of the same name). Then we shall deal with films featuring young people from Futenzoku (hippies) and Bôsôzoku (biker…

▼ Diverging from conventional readings of the novel, this thesis examines the ways in which the image of laboring bodies in Kirino Natsuo's 1997 crime thriller
Auto underscores the author's eminent concern with production and consumption not only as economic activities but also as oppressive ideologies to which her characters are
subject both within and outside of the productive labor sphere. Moreover, in examining the protagonist Masako's triumph over her rapist beyond the scope of conventional discourse regarding rape, it argues that the novel's conclusion, while situated around an ostensibly private encounter, seeks to undermine justifications for the problem of labor inequality in contemporary Japan. In doing so, this thesis seeks to illustrate that as a genre,
Japanese crime fiction embodies the capacity to offer readers a critical lens through which to examine a vast array of ever-evolving and inextricably related socio-economic realities.

▼ This thesis utilizes Michael Warner's theory of counterpublics to engage with two novellas by Shirin Nezammafi, Salam and White Paper. I critically reconsider the use and reception of ekkyo bungaku ("border-crossing" literature) in contemporary
Japanese literary criticism. I intend to shift the critical framework of ekkyo literature away from strictly defined Westphalian nation-state identities, proposing instead a more nuanced view of ekkyo that engages with systemic and societal boundaries that exist beyond the context of national borders. I situate Shirin Nezammafi, Salam, and White Paper within this discourse, positing ways in which she both adheres to and complicates a narrowly defined vision of ekkyo that emerges from national boundaries.

Wrestling with Tradition: Japanese Activities at Amache, a World War II Incarceration Facility.

▼ I employ archaeological analyses, archival research, and oral histories to investigate traditional
Japanese practices that were performed at Amache, a World War II
Japanese American incarceration facility. I argue that these inter-generational practices helped to bridge a cultural gap that existed between several generations of
Japanese Americans. For many incarcerated
Japanese Americans, their first exposure to many traditional activities occurred during incarceration. The resulting social environment incorporated aspects of
Japanese,
Japanese American, and mainstream American influences, all of which were adapted to conditions during incarceration. Similarly, archaeological analyses allow for the investigation of traditional practice features. These provide evidence regarding the significance of the adapted landscape at Amache. Evidence of these practices suggests Amache internees had both a strong desire to maintain and celebrate these aspects of their
Japanese heritage but they also incorporated non-traditional elements that reflected the unique living conditions during incarceration. Incarceration, I argue, created an environment in which a unique internee consciousness was formed in which the use of traditional practices was a focal point. The physical remains of traditional practices allow archaeologists to determine aspects of this newly formed consciousness that are not readily apparent in historical documentation.

Vectors for Change or the New Old Guard?Repatriation and

▼ In the wake of the recent and prolonged economic
crisis, corporate governance in large corporations has come under
increasing scrutiny. Employment is said to be precarious, and some
commentators talk of how the social contract is being shredded.
Against this backdrop, more nurturing approaches to employment and
human resource management have an intrinsic appeal. With its
stakeholder capitalism, Japan provides one such model. This thesis
examines that model through the prism of a qualitative study of
business repatriates and their careers. Using six career stories,
it gives us a window on to contemporary
Japanese HRM practices as
they impact ‘core’ employees working with the assumption of
lifetime employment at large
Japanese companies. As a result, we
learn about the ongoing strengths and weaknesses of
Japanese HRM,
and see how practices may change. The study’s longitudinal research
design allows these career stories to unfold dynamically as the
participants reflect reiteratively on their experiences and hopes,
while interviews with two other repatriates, four HR managers, one
mid-career job-changer, and a European administrator with long
experience in multinationals add further depth and perspective. The
repatriates express support for the HR systems in their companies,
while also reporting frustration related to issues such as the
opacity of the job assignment system. Their time abroad has changed
how they think about their work and their employers, yet they are
less vectors for change and more an internationalised old
guard.Overall, this study gives us a detailed and nuanced picture
of how
Japanese repatriates experience their careers and think
about their futures. It shows the value of an in-depth grounded
approach to understanding contemporary attitudes in Japan related
to the ongoing debate about HRM practices. The narratives of these
Japanese business people, who have been exposed to what is alleged
to be better practice overseas, demonstrate the importance of the
continuity and stability of the
Japanese employment model.
Moreover, the traditional model emerges as logical and effective,
suggesting that the considerable criticism of that model over the
past two decades is misplaced. In addition, interpretation of the
data suggests future avenues of research into how we understand
change and continuity in
Japanese HRM practices.

THE SEMANTIC NATURE OF TENSE AMBIGUITY: RESOLVING TENSE AND ASPECT IN JAPANESE PHRASAL CONSTRUCTIONS.

▼ The nature of tense in classical Japanese is vague and uncertain, sometimes appearing to be interpretable by combinations of particular verbs with specific verbal auxiliaries and sometimes appearing to be absent altogether. The present study introduces a series of these so-called tense-bearing auxiliaries in classical Japanese while attempting to show that their use can be ambiguous based on the contexts in which they appear. The notions of context driven semantic formalism are explored as a possible means to derive truth from these utterances that seem otherwise tenseless when taken out of context. To accomplish this, time and tense are given very specific meaning and definition and thereafter explored in the context of both modern and classical Japanese.

▼ Women’s empowerment is the pivot point of this paper; it investigates the contemporary
Japanese women’s awareness of gender inequalities in the workplace and Womenomics. This thesis attempts to suggest possible solutions to gender discrimination in the
Japanese workplace. To accomplish this goal, this paper employs a quantitative method for data collection. The chosen sample consisted of
Japanese women employed in
Japanese companies alone. At a later stage, data analysis was done through a qualitative approach.
Respondents’ feedback to the questionnaire was fundamental to draw this project’s conclusions. In this regard,
Japanese women seem not to be aware of Womenomics’ contents and the majority of them consider these polices as useless in terms of women’s empowerment. By contrast, they are well aware of gender inequalities at their workplace, and they offered valuable solutions to solve the problem. A prospective awareness-raising intervention is considered essential because it would help to sensitize people to the problem and to faster gender equality’s fulfillment. Moreover, if people were aware of the persistent gender gap in contemporary society, their perception would encourage leaders to take action for the creation of a gender-equal society. According to the majority of the questionnaire’s respondents, if people cooperate as individuals and not as men and women, it will possibly be a starting point for gender stereotypes’ elimination.
