「議論する（シンポジウム）」のみのご参加：2024年12月5日（木）

「議論する」+「経験する（懇親会）」：2024年11月30日（土）

本シンポジウムは、文化人類学・現象学の視点から、宗教的治療、情動・感覚、身体知覚、また「世界の再構築」という変容プロセスの関係性を掘り下げる。医療的介入を超えた治癒過程の体験に焦点を当て、従来の個人主義的な枠組みに捉われず、個を超えた変容の可能性を探求する。

文化人類学の現象学的研究の中では、治療過程における「世界の再構築」の重要性が議論されてきた。この概念はDasら（2001）によって提唱され、トラウマや暴力に対応するコミュニティや個人の変容努力を指し、苦しみへの対処、耐久、乗り越え、分解、または暴力の影響を超越することを、地域、人間関係、個々の生活の各レベルで行うものを指している。

しかし、この概念は個人の主体性と物語を過度に強調し、治癒の身体経験や個人の現実を変える能力に対する構造的制約を軽視しているという批判も存在する。さらに、集団的な治癒の次元を見落としている点や、西洋の個人主義に根ざしており、非西洋の視点を十分に考慮していない点も指摘されてきた。

本シンポジウムでは、これらのギャップを埋めることを目指し、多様な民族誌的な枠組みにおける宗教的・スピリチュアル治療の事例を紹介する。特に、情動・感情、身体的知覚に焦点を当てることで、新たな、代替的な世界の形成と再形成における間主体的な生きられた経験の重要性を強調する。これらの変容プロセスに光を当てることで、個人やコミュニティがどのように苦しみの経験を乗り越え、最終的に新しい世界と存在の方法を創り出すかについての理解を深めることを目指す。

このシンポジウムは「論じる」と「経験する」という二つの部分に分けられている。前者「論じる」部分では従来のシンポジウム形式で研究者がテーマについて学問的に論じるが、後者の「経験する」部分は参加者がシンポジウムの中核テーマを感覚を通じて探求する。前半と後半を通じて、テーマについてのより包括的な理解を目指している。

「経験する」の概要

　このライブパフォーマンスは、ワークショップのテーマに沿った文化的かつ情動的な視点を提供し、ワークショップの経験を豊かにすることを目的としている。トーマス・チョルダッシュは、人類学と現象学における画期的な研究で知られるだけでなく、本シンポジウムの基調講演者でもある。また、彼は才能あるシンガーソングライターでもあり、アコースティック・フォークロック音楽を作曲し、特に抵抗に焦点を当てている。彼のパフォーマンスは、学術的な議論、芸術的表現、「代替的な世界の再構築」に関する洞察を独自に融合させ、シンポジウムの体験を豊かにする。パフォーマンスと学術議論の組み合わせは、本イベントをテーマを単に知的に探求するだけでなく、生きた感覚的な経験を通じても探求させるものである。

　また、バンド「ALKDO」の招聘は、とりわけ「代替世界の構築」というシンポジウムのテーマに深く関わっているために重要だといえる。豊田市にある伝統的な日本家屋を改築し運営する文化施設「橋ノ下舎」を拠点に、ALKDOは地域コミュニティとの強い絆を築いている。彼らの音楽は異文化理解と共感を育み、参加者に日常を超えた体験を提供する。TURTLE ISLANDのフロントマンである永山愛樹とパーカッション奏者の竹舞を中心に結成されたALKDOは、独自のスタイルである「アコースティックアジアン・トラッドパンク」でアジアの音楽とリズムを融合させたスタイルをとる。彼らは橋ノ下舎での活動で、日本の伝統文化を取り入れ、音楽、アート、共同生活を探求する場を提供し、多様な人々が集う空間を創造しているが、その中でALKDOの音楽は、情動と身体的知覚を通じて深い共鳴を生み出し、個々の感覚を超えた共感と理解を促進する役割を果たしているといえる。

　このようなシンポジウム後のイベントは、文化的多様性や持続可能な未来に関する議論を補完し、参加者に単なる議論レベルに留まらない、深い洞察とインスピレーションを与えることが期待される。

Concept

The concept of distance has evolved to encompass far more than mere physical separation. Today, distance represents a complex interplay of social, economic, logistical, psychological, and demographic dimensions, each influencing and reshaping the spaces we inhabit, whether physical, virtual, or abstract. This event (in its third edition) aims to explore the multidisciplinary implications of various forms of distancing, highlighting how these concepts have spurred innovative theoretical and practical developments across different research fields. The dynamic interaction between different types of distances, as aimed throughout this Workshop, is fostering new perspectives and research paradigms that are crucial for addressing contemporary challenges in a multidimensional mode.

This hybrid Workshop will be held on site and via Zoom 

For in-person participation, registration is required in advance by November 13th. Please, register here.

Concept

Hokkaido Dairy Farm offers a historical and ethnographic examination of the rapid industrialization of the dairy industry in Tokachi, Hokkaido. It begins with a history of dairy farming and consumption in Hokkaido from a macro perspective. It then narrows the focus to examine concrete changes in a Tokachi-area dairying community, with shifts in human relationships alongside changes in human and cow connections through new technologies. In the final chapters, the scope is further narrowed to a detailed history and ethnography of a single industrializing dairy farm and the morphing cast of individuals attached to it, centering on their idiosyncratic searches for economic, social, and ontological security in what is popularly considered a peripheral region and industry. The culmination of over fifteen years of ethnographic, policy, and historical research, Hokkaido Dairy Farm argues that the dairy industry in Japan has always been entwined with notions of Otherness and security seeking, notably in terms of frontiers (SUNY Press 2024).

Paul Hansen is professor in the Department of International Resource Sciences at Akita University in Japan. He is a socio-cultural anthropologist with a focus on Japan and Jamaica, social theory in relation to identity, affect, embodiment, posthumanism, cosmopolitan studies, ecology and animal-human-technology relationships. He is also interested in food and musicology. Having published extensively on these topics in anthropology journals, he is co-editor (with Blai Guarné) of the book Escaping Japan: Reflections on Estrangement and Exile in the Twenty-First Century (2018, Routledge) and co-editor (with Susanne Klien) of a Special Issue of Asian Anthropology titled Rural Japan as Heterotopia (2022).

Concept

In this symposium, we explore affect in interactions through virtual spaces. Focusing on mediated remote interactions not only highlights the processes through which virtual spaces shape and are shaped by affects and perception, but also stimulates rethinking of traditional concepts of distance and copresence. Therefore, the symposium not only explores various anthropological cases surrounding virtual spaces but also extends its scope to issues such as gestures and cognition in face-to-face interactions, correspondences with the environment, and to how the experience of “being with others” emerges in relation to distance through affect, feelings, and perception. By doing so, the symposium aims to examine the dynamics of affect, experiences, and perceptions in virtual spaces while simultaneously considering the theoretical dimensions of “distance” that have not been extensively discussed in cultural anthropology.

The symposium is divided into two parts: “Discussing” and “Experiencing.” In the former “Discussing” part, researchers engage in scholarly discussions on the theme in a traditional symposium format. The latter “Experiencing” part allows participants to explore the core theme of the symposium through their senses. Throughout both segments, the goal is to achieve a more comprehensive understanding of the theme.

Concept

Modern archaeology has been developed almost simultaneously in Japan and Italy, with the first excavation of a mound tomb in Japan, the Samuraizuka kofun (侍塚古墳) in 1692, ordered by Tokugawa Mitsukuni, and  with Ercolano and Pompei excavations in 1748. This research field has been intensely promoted by national governments and academic institutions, and at present employs techniques and approaches from the physical, chemical, biological, and earth sciences as well as engineering (covered by the interdisciplinary field of archaeometry) to address archaeological issues. Archaeometry provides archaeology instruments for collecting, analyzing and interpreting data related to material records of human history, with a reciprocal cross-fertilization of methodologies and interpretative tools that make archaeology and archaeometry truly transdisciplinary. In the workshop the history of archaeology and the archaeological methodology will address the employ of archaeometry in a comparative view of the field in Italy and Japan.

Concept

Japan’s ecological variety, with no less than six different climatic zones, seems to parallel the panoply of different languages and dialects that have been attested in the Japanese archipelago. In addition to standard Japanese and its dialects, there exist other Japonic languages such as Ryūkyūan and Hachijō, as well as non-Japonic varieties represented by Ainu, Orok, and Nivkh.

Information on such linguistic diversity was recorded in a number of written sources, such as the Man’yōshū and Omoro sōshi, among others. In addition, foreign observers also provided insightful evidence on languages spoken within present-day Japanese territory. Identifying with precision what languages were represented in the written sources is not an easy task, but in most cases the combination of a philological approach and the tools of historical linguistics might shed some light on the nature of the languages in question. Analyzing specific cases by researchers who focus on different sources will help to reveal how the careful coupling of these two approaches might prove rewarding, without denying the importance of fieldwork and synchronic studies.

Centered on the seminal work of Alexander Vovin (1961–2022), the workshop intends to show how this combination could be possible in practice. Professor Vovin had been involved in its planning from the start, and intended to contribute with a keynote speech. His untimely passing prevented us from including his contribution. This initiative will also be an homage to the memory of Alexander Vovin and his legacy by a number of scholars who had been working in close contact with him or with his style of scholarship as a source of inspiration.

Concept

Rice is an important element of food culture in Italy and Japan, where it plays a primary role in terms of production, gastronomic tradition, and artistic representation. Following the “farm to table” approach, the contributions to this workshop will touch upon rice cultivation and production chains shared by the two countries despite differences in cultivation and harvesting techniques. Rice will provide inspiration to explore the implications of technological innovation for production systems and sustainability, as well as environmental impact. The influence that rice exerts on economic and social contexts—in production, distribution, and consumption—will also be considered. From this perspective, the workshop will focus on production methods, organoleptic characteristics, and food safety, but will also deal with the profound link between tradition and innovation that distinguishes the sector. The range of contributions will embrace agricultural science and economy, as well as several other branches of knowledge, including the humanities, in keeping with the multidisciplinary tradition of ISEAS workshops.

Concept

The global emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemics strongly impacted on the perception and management of distances. Social, economic, logistic and psychological consequences of distancing procedures affected many aspects of our life and interactions, allowing rethinking and reshaping spaces both physical and virtual, and involving new forms of theoretical and practical thoughts and studies. Within this scenario, the dynamic interplay between physical and virtual distances has assumed new forms, forcing innovative cross-disciplinary attitudes as well as the design of new perspectives for future research.

The workshop focusses on Japan and Italy, and combines multidisciplinary research to discuss the notion of distance, along the line traced by a previous event held in 2020. This second meeting has been organized in cooperation  with the Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology (RCast) of the University of Tokyo (the 8th cross-disciplinary workshop in their series). As before, scholars and experts from different disciplines will share their knowledge on the common discussion platform of how the perception of distance is addressing new research trends in scientific and humanistic studies.

November 13 2021  10:00 – 17:00 JST

The French School of Asian Studies (EFEO), the Italian School of East Asian Studies (ISEAS), and the Institute for Research in Humanities (Kyoto University) are organizing a workshop to conclude the Kitashirakawa EFEO Salon, a series of lectures on  Japanese religions held from 2018 to 2020.

The workshop will take place on-site, at the EFEO Kyoto center, and online via Zoom on November 13 (from 10 AM JST). The eight talks, seven in English and one in Japanese, aim at uncovering aspects of “lived religion” (or religion in practice) in late medieval & early modern Japan (16th to 19th c.) using innovative approaches and/or neglected primary sources. The speakers cover different religious traditions (Zen, Pure Land, Shingon, Shugendo, “folk” beliefs, and Christianity). The Cahiers d’Extrême-Asie will publish a special issue based on the contributions presented during the workshop.

Prior registration, on-site or online, is required.

ONLINE SYMPOSIUM

October 25 2021 16:00 – 20:00 JST

Nei secoli moderni l’opera di Dante ha seguito sentieri originali e di grande interesse che si estendono ben oltre i confini dei contesti europei. In Asia Orientale, ad esempio, è stata fonte di ispirazione e ricerca intellettuale, producendo un’ampia varietà di traduzioni e studi ed esercitando influenze rilevanti su letterati, pensatori e artisti. La ricchezza di tale produzione ha spesso travalicato i confini degli studi di italianistica per diventare patrimonio di tutti. L’evento si propone di offrire un panorama di questo importante fenomeno culturale e di percorrere le tracce della ricezione di Dante in Cina, Corea e Giappone attraverso prospettive generali e casi specifici, per contribuire a delinearne la fortuna globale nell’occasione dei settecento anni dalla morte.

In the modern period Dante’s work has followed original paths that have reached far beyond the boundaries of European contexts in a variety of interesting patterns. In East Asia, for example, it has been a source of inspiration and a stimulus for intellectual research, giving way to a multiplicity of translations and studies, and influencing writers, thinkers, and artists. In many cases, the range of this influence did not remain restricted to the field of Italian studies proper, but became a common asset for any cultivated person. This event will provide an overview of this important cultural trend tracing Dante’s reception in China, Korea, and Japan. Through general surveys or the analysis of specific cases, it will contribute to the appreciation of Dante’s global popularity seven hundred years after his death.
