Japanese History/Studies

Education About Asia (EAA) is the peer-reviewed teaching journal of the Association for Asian Studies. Our print and online readers include undergraduate instructors as well as high school and middle school teachers. Our articles are intended to provide educators and academics in the humanities and social sciences who are often not specialists with basic understanding of Asia-related content. Professors and high school teachers also utilize many EAA articles and essays as student readings.  Qualified referees evaluate all manuscripts submitted for consideration.

We invite proposals for contributions in English, German or Japanese to a poster session that will take place during the second and third day of the VSJF Annual Conference 2017 (October 31 - November 2, 2017).

We encourage both junior researchers and established scholars from all fields of social science research on Japan for presenting late-breaking results, on-going research projects, and speculative or innovative work in progress. Presenters of a poster will be expected to be present at the conference.

Rural Japan Revisited: Autonomy and Heteronomy in the Peripheries 

Dear Colleagues,

I am happy to announce that my new book, Trauma, Dissociation and Re-enactment in Japanese Literature and Film (Routledge, 2017, ISBN: 9781138733251 238 pp.), has published.

Description

Japanese literature and film have been approached using lenses such as language, genre and ideology. Yet, despite a succession of major social traumas that have marked, and in many ways shaped and defined much of modern Japan, Japanese fiction and cinema have not often been examined psychoanalytically.
