    出版者・発行元:NCC Center for the Study of Japanese Religions  

    The assassination of former Japanese Prime Minister Abe Shinzō on July 8, 2022, two days ahead of the Upper House election, and the resulting impact in the political, social, and legal spheres of Japanese society represent the most significant events involving the nexus between religion and media since the Aum affair of the 1990s.

    The events that involved the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification, widely known as the Unification Church, once again highlighted a significant and unresolved area that has characterized postwar Japanese society: that the Japanese media, particularly since the Aum affair, still shows a distinct lack of self-reflection and education on religious matters, which reflect broader trends in Japanese society. Yet, the structural barriers to press freedom and inequalities in Japan that are revealed in the Japanese press club system again reveals the need for scholars of the contemporary religious scene to understand some elements of Japanese media and develop media literacy to read, absorb, and analyze media related to religious matters.

    Keywords: Abe assassination—Family Federation for World Peace and Unification—Unification Church—Media representation of religion

    Celebrity Gods explores the interaction of new religions and the media in postwar Japan. It focuses on the leaders and founders (kyōsō) of Jiu and Tenshō Kōtai Jingū Kyō, two new religions of Japan’s immediate postwar period that received substantial press attention. Jiu was linked to the popular prewar group Ōmotokyō, and its activities were based on the millennial visions of its leader, a woman called Jikōson. When Jiu attracted the legendary sumo champion Futabayama to its cause, Jikōson and her activities became a widely-covered cause célèbre in the press. Tenshō Kōtai Jingū Kyō (labeled odoru shūkyō, “the dancing religion,” by the press) was led by a farmer’s wife, Kitamura Sayo. Her uncompromising vision and actions toward creating a new society—one that was far removed from what she described as the “maggot world” of postwar Japan—drew harsh and often mocking criticism from the print media. Looking back for precursors to the postwar relationship of new religions and media, this work explores the significant role that the Japanese media traditionally played in defining appropriate and acceptable social behavior, acting at times as mouthpieces for government and religious authorities. Using the cases of Renmonkyō in the Meiji era and Ōmotokyō in the Taishō and Shōwa eras, the study shows how accumulated images of new religions in pre-1945 Japan became absorbed into those of the immediate postwar period. Given the lack of formal religious education in Japan, the media played an important role in transmitting notions of acceptable behavior to the public. He goes on to characterize the leaders of these groups as “celebrity gods,” demonstrating that the media, which were generally untrained in religious history or ideas, chose to fashion them as “celebrities” whose antics deserved derision. While the prewar media had presented other kyōsō as the antithesis of decent, moral citizens who stood in opposition to the aims of the state, postwar media reports presented them primarily as unfit for democratic society. Celebrity Gods delves into an under-studied era of religious history: the Allied Occupation and the postwar period up until the early 1950s. It is an interdisciplinary work that considers relations between Japanese and Occupation bureaucracies and the groups in question using primary source documents from Occupation archives and interviews with media workers and members of religious groups. For observers of postwar Japan, this research provides a roadmap to help understand issues relating to the Aum Shinrikyō affair of the 1990s.

    This paper is based on autoethnographic work concerning my role as a parent and caregiver for my son, Lenny, who is on the autism spectrum. I follow Elizabeth Barrett’s (2017) suggestion that parents of autistic children acquire skills as caregivers that enable them to act ethnographic researchers, and that they have privileged access to “hard-to-reach” research participants. It focuses on first-hand experiences of educational and socialization practices in Japan and the US. I consider different strategies employed by various actors in these countries—including educational and medical authorities, parents, volunteer groups, and NPOs—to deal with individuals on the autism spectrum. Cultural and social practices, including those in the medical, biomedical, and educational fields, also vary between these countries, and these practices in turn influence community standards. A crucial element surrounding this issue is the widespread use of social media in creating and sustaining support networks that lead parents and others to seek methods of treatment and ways of understanding that are not presented by local authorities or represented through prevailing community attitudes.

     詳細を見る

    This paper is based on an autoethnography I am working on concerning my role as a parent and advocate for my son, Lenny, who is on the autism spectrum. Our journey as a family has given us first-hand experience in educational and socialization practices in Japan and the US surrounding a condition that is said to have reached epidemic proportions throughout the world. I consider different strategies employed by various social actors in Japan and the US—including educational and medical authorities, parents, volunteer groups, and NPOs—to deal with socialization of individuals on the spectrum. Theories surrounding the rise of diagnoses of autism spectrum disorder are as controversial as some of the numerous methods available to treat children on the autism spectrum. The responses in different cultures to the increase in cases vary radically between Japan and the US. Cultural and social practices, including those in the medical, biomedical, and educational fields, also vary between these countries, and these practices in turn influence community standards. A crucial element surrounding this issue is the widespread use of social media in creating and sustaining support networks that lead parents and others to seek methods of treatment and ways of understanding that are not presented by local authorities or represented through prevailing community attitudes.

    Introduction to the new series "Disability and Japan in the Digital Age"

    In this episode, Mark Bookman discusses a new project that includes a series of lectures entitled "Disability and Japan in the Digital Age." The project is run through the Anthropological Institute, Nanzan University. He talks about the significance of the series at this time. Mark will also be presenting interviews with the participants in Asian Ethnology Podcast episodes.

    An abstract of the project is as follows:

    This research program will investigate core issues surrounding the study of disability in Japan. It has three main units: 1) Disability Studies; 2) Deaf Studies; and 3) Margins and Intersections. Collectively, those units will identify how stakeholders construct notions of disability in Japan by harnessing domestic developments and international innovations, including, but not limited to, those connected to law, policy, education, employment, media, technology, gender, and sex. Nine scholars from diverse personal and professional backgrounds will combine their expertise to produce a series of podcasts and presentations. Their efforts will culminate in the first edited volume in the English language devoted solely to the study of disability in the Japanese context.

What makes these texts powerful? What makes them authoritative? What makes them worth copying out by hand century after century? In exploring these questions, he discusses how he applied an ethnographical approach to working on The Bhagavatapurana, interviewing audiences and performers and applying performance theory (published as Seven Days of Nectar: Contemporary Oral Performance of the Bhagavatapurana, Oxford University Press, 2016). He also talks about teaching Sanskrit as a living tradition, and teaching the language online.
