講義概要
/Course description
This seminar course examines the complex linkages and tensions between democracy, citizenship, and nationalism in the context of modern Japan.
Nationalism has been the main principle for the definition of political communities and loyalties in the modern world, and in this sense, nationalism is intrinsic to a world comprised of nation-states. In this view, nationalism, or at least some commitment to national identity, is an essential ingredient of politics of the nation-state.
However, since WWII, nationalism has been viewed in rather negative terms in academic and popular discourse. For critics, nationalism is a dangerous passion that aggravates international conflicts, threatens minorities and immigrants, and more generally, substitutes sober discussion with irrational myth-making and hate-mongering. Yet, the assumption that nationalism in general is an atavistic remnant of the past that can be safely consigned to the dustbin of history is contested, both on theoretical and practical grounds.
In Japan, the contest over nationhood, citizenship, and democracy has taken distinctive forms, reflecting Japan’s history and its international environment. In this course, we explore the Japanese case, while making references to broader theoretical issues and comparative contexts. We begin by reading some relevant literature from the field of political theory, and then go on to examine the issue in its specific Japanese context. Issues examined will include the problems of “reactive nationalism,” US occupation and Japanese sovereignty, role of the Emperor, pacifism as nationalism, the rights of foreigners and minorities, history and civics education, among others.
