Get PDFIn view of challenges such as structural weakness, ageing and depopulation, it has become more important than ever in Japan since the 2011 triple disaster to revitalise rural regions with the help of various bottom-up and top-down initiatives. Not only are regional residents to be strengthened in their ties to their homeland, but peripheral areas themselves are to be staged as attractive working and living spaces and restructured in the long term. "Post-colonial" dependencies on economic powers in the big cities, socio-economic disparities between urban and rural areas, and failures in long-term planning and knowledge development are only a handful of the causes that shape the challenges of rural provinces today. From grassroots initiatives to save traditional matsuri to anime tourism and marriage migration, the volume reports on the background, consequences and interactions of the problems in Japan's regions. The third volume of the series "Kultur- und Sozialwissenschaftliche Japanforschung" (Cultural and Social Science Research on Japan) thus portrays a Japan of the regions whose image is always shifting between nostalgic retreat and disconnected countryside, invigorating alternative to the big city and deserted ghost village
The national discussion under influence of war propaganda, church and folklorism
No full textKosovo und Metohien ist das zentrale Gebiet der serbischen Nation. Nichts hat die serbische Identität so geprägt wie die Schlacht auf dem
Amselfeld und die daraus resultierende Kosovo -Mythologie. Das Trauma der Niederlage des mittelalterlichen serbischen Heeres am
Amselfeld, der Exodus der Serben und jahrhundertelange Besatzung durch die Osmanen haben viele Serben bis in die Gegenwart nachhaltig
geprägt. Neben dem Kosovo Mythos ist die serbisch orthodoxe Kirche das zentrale Moment und die einzige Institution, welche die
serbische Identität über jahrhunderte der Besatzung am Leben hielt. Den Katalysator einer übersteigerten serbischen Selbstwahrnehmung
bildeten die serbischen Medien und die politische Führung in Serbien, die sich des Kosovo-Mythos bedienten um eine Mobilisierung der
Massen zu erreichen. Die Dämonisierung der Serben in den letzten 10 Jahren führte zu einem langsamen Prozess der Gleichgültigkeit, Desinteresse und Resignation gegenüber politischen Prozessen. Jahrelange Blockade der Serben von Seiten der UN und EU Gemeinschaft führte zu einem allgemeinen Eindruck des Unverstandenfühlens , der Isolation und Mißtrauen gegenüber dem Westen
Japan der Regionen
Get PDFMit Blick auf Herausforderungen, wie Strukturschwäche, Überalterung und Entvölkerung, gilt es in Japan seit der Dreifachkatastrophe 2011 mehr denn je, mithilfe verschiedenster Bottom-Up- und Top-Down-Initiativen ländliche Regionen wiederzubeleben. Nicht nur sollen Regionsanwohner in ihrer Heimatverbundenheit gestärkt, sondern periphere Gebiete selbst als attraktive Arbeits- und Lebensräume inszeniert sowie langfristig umstrukturiert werden. „Postkoloniale Abhängigkeiten von Wirtschaftsmächten in den Großstädten, sozioökonomische Gefälle zwischen Stadt und Land sowie Versäumnisse im Hinblick auf Langzeitplanung und Wissensentwicklung sind nur eine Handvoll der Ursachen, die die heutigen Herausforderungen ländlicher Provinzen prägen. Von Graswurzelinitiativen zur Rettung traditioneller matsuri über Anime-Tourismus bis hin zur Heiratsmigration berichtet der Band von Hintergründen, Folgen und Wechselwirkungen der Probleme in Japans Regionen. Der dritte Band der Reihe „Kultur- und Sozialwissenschaftliche Japanforschung zeichnet so ein Japan der Regionen, dessen Image stets zwischen nostalgischem Rückzugsort und abgehängtem Landstrich, belebender Alternative zur Großstadt und menschenleerem Geisterdorf wandelt

Demographic Change in Japan and the EU
Get PDFThis volume contains selected papers of the 2008 annual conference of the German Association for Social Science Research on Japan (Vereinigung für sozialwissenschaftliche Japanforschung e.V. – VSJF). The academic meeting has addressed the issue of demographic change in Japan in comparison to the social developments of ageing in Germany and other member states of the European Union. The conference was organized by the Institute for Modern Japanese Studies at Heinrich-Heine-University of Duesseldorf and took place at the Mutter Haus in Kaiserswerth (an ancient part of Duesseldorf). Speakers from Germany, England, Japan and the Netherlands presented their papers in four sessions on the topics “Demographic Trends and Social Analysis”, “Family and Welfare Policies”, “Ageing Society and the Organization of Households” and “Demographic Change and the Economy”. Central to all transnational and national studies on demographic change is the question of how societies can be reconstructed and be made adaptive to these changes in order to survive as solidarity communities. The authors of this volume attend to this question by discussing on recent trends of social and economic restructuring and giving insight into new research developments such as in the area of households and housing, family care work, medical insurance, robot technology or the employment sector
