Invisible beings: an overview of people with disabilities' circumstances in Japan
type: item
description: Despite Japan ratifying the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in 2014 and the fact that Tokyo will be the first city in the world to host the Paralympic Games more than once, people with disabilities are usually segregated from society and regarded as invisible. This segregation process starts at childhood and lingers throughout these individuals’ lives. This work aims to outline an overview of their living conditions, as well as the Japanese legislation and recent events in the country’s history.

BRAZILIAN SCIENTIFIC PRODUCTION ABOUT JAPAN: PERSPECTIVES FROM THE FIELD OF PSYCHOLOGY
type: item
description: Japan is highly influential both economically and culturally on a global scale. Despite its cultural influence, economic ties, and the presence of Japanese immigrants in Brazil, Japan appears to receive relatively little attention in Brazilian academia. Brazilian academia has been primarily influenced by European and American academic traditions, which is evident in scientific research across various fields, including psychology. This study aims to quantify and analyse Brazilian research on Japan within psychology. An analysis of 142 publications revealed themes including culture, immigration, psychology and related fields, and others. The study also examined the influence of authors of Japanese descent. Although there are a reasonable number of publications about Japan, this number is relatively low compared to publications on European, Latin American, or U.S. topics.

Hijikata Tatsumi: two interviews about the dance of darkness
type: item
description: Full direct Japanese-Portuguese translation of two interviews with dancer Hijikata Tatsumi, both preceded by his own historiographical contextualization. They are: "Plucking out the darkness of the flesh..."(1968) and "An evil spirit dances upon the stage in darkness"(1969). Both propose ontologies and methodologies for the dance of darkness, or butoh (ankoku butō), incited by Hijikata’s wandering dialectic with Shibusawa Tatsuhiko and Satō Takeru, his respective interviewers.

The hypoteses about proto-Japanese-Korean: challenges in sound correspondences of pronouns and numerals
type: item
description: Ever since Arai (1717) , several researchers have put forth the possibility that the Japonic family and the Koreanic family may share a common origin. In these three hundred plus years of research, there have been breakthroughs with the use of techniques from the comparative method in historical linguistics, such as Martin (1966) , but a stronger argument for the confirmation of a common origin to these languages, a protolanguage whose reflexes can be predicted through sound correspondence rules, remains a challenge. As a sample of how a protolanguage is formulated and which steps remain necessary to strengthen the hypothesis of a common ancestor between the Japanese language and the Korean language, some interrogative pronouns and low cardinal numerals, from 1 to 10, have been systematically chosen. Despite having at least two promising sound correspondences in the pronouns, there do not seem to be any cognates in the numeral system, which would either suggest a wholesale set of innovations, eliminating any cognates within these words, or an origin for both languages that may no longer be detected based on the tools currently at the disposal of historical linguistics.”.

Trauma and gender in Ibuse Masuji´´´´'s Black Rain (1965)
type: item
description: Hiroshima and Nagasaki were destroyed by the atomic bombs in August 6 and 9, respectively. In both cities, the victims have suffered from physical and emotional trauma depicted in literary works, denominated as hibakusha literature (victims of atomic bombs). This article intends to examine the word of Ibuse Masuji and its characteristics, in special, the novel Black Rain (Kuroi Ame, 1965), one of the most famous works in this literary genre, with the objective to discuss the trauma suffered by the character Yasuko. It will also examine the development of trauma literature and hibakusha literature, as well as to provide a brief biography of Ibuse Masuji.

Fukuzawa Yukichi and the role of Western studies intelectuals in Meiji society
type: item
description: Gakumon no susume is one of the main works by Fukuzawa Yukichi (1834-1901) and one of the most important on education in Japanese society. A compendium of writings on education and individuality, in its fourth volume, Fukuzawa Yukichi posits that Western studies intellectuals should focus their efforts on the modernization of Japan outside the official realms of the Meiji government, devoting themselves to the private field. Katô Hiroyuki, Mori Arinori, Tsuda Mamichi and Nishi Amane, however, defend that such individuals should dedicate themselves to the civilizational advancement at the position they prefer. In this article, we intend to show how the fourth volume of the work served as the basis for the discussions figured in the articles of the second volume of Meiroku magazine in relation to the posture of Japanese scholars of Western studies regarding Fukuzawa Yukichi’s statements and how these five texts present certain divergences of thoughts and ideas among the five intellectuals of the Meiroku Society.

The debate over direct election on the pages of the Meiroku Zasshi
type: item
description: The 1870s in Japan were a decade one of political unrest. Spurred on by the Memorial on the establishment of a popular elected assembly, a public document dating from 1874, many groups organized themselves throughout the country to promote the rights of the population as a whole and, most especially, the establishment of direct voting and direct political participation. This topic was particularly discussed by intellectuals who regularly contributed to Meiroku Magazine, being one of the most debated subjects in its pages. In this paper, we will present this debate, as well as the main positions taken. We will demonstrate that, despite a general cautious tone, each writer took a stand on the topic according to their political convictions.

The debate on religion on the Meiroku Zasshi
type: item
description: The paper presents the main issues debated at the Meiroku Zasshi on the theme of religion. Based on the terms used to translate the concept of ‘religion’ to the modern Japanese language, observing the cultural and political context in which that cultural transfer occurred. The different positions included the exaltation of religion as an essential part of civilization given its moral impulse capable of generating social cohesion and, therefore, a necessary view for the good functioning of the State. They pointed out a distinction between religion and superstition that should be discouraged by the State for representing threats to public order. Others defended religion as an element of rational articulation to guarantee government support. The debate shows the process of transference, appropriation, and resignification of that important category of Western thought, still diffused at the beginning of the Meiji Era.

The civilizing process and the introduction of Western concepts in modern Japan
type: item
description: Born in the early years of the Meiji era, the Meiroku Society took the reins of Japan’s discussion on civilization, seeking to formalize the insertion of Western concepts in the country’s vernacular. Scholars like Nishimura Shigeki, Mitsukuri Rinshō and Nakamura Masanao made a point of exploring the historiography of terms central to European philosophy, introduced with the opening of the country after 300 years of isolationism. Their intent was to discuss how best to represent these ideas in the Japanese language, quickly setting aside the reformist notion of Nishi Amane, another member of the Association, who wanted the new government to adopt the Roman alphabet and to abolish ideograms. Thus, this article aims to explore the debates that appeared on the pages of Meiroku magazine, the stage of Japanese thought at the time, focusing on the search for linguistic equivalence of the words “civilization”, “liberty” and “right”.

Interview with Mayuzumi Madoka
type: item
description: Below is an interview with the Japanese haiku artist Mayuzumi Madoka (Kanagawa, 1962~). Her haiku trajectory goes beyond the usual literary modes as it includes about 2,700 miles on peregrinations made by the author to different locations: Santiago de Compostela, Busan, Seoul and Shikoku. She considers peregrinations as important moments of life and nature contemplation and perception and also considers it essential to the haiku production. Mayuzimi has published several books and got the “Yamamoto Kenkichi Literary Award” for the book "Kyoto no Koi". In 2020, during the Coronavirus pandemic, she created the project "Kyoto x Haiku", aiming the integration of different peoples through the poetic writing. The project still counts with the participation of haiku composers from different countries. In 2021, she participated on an online event and spoke about haiku for the Brazilian people. She also got to know many Brazilian haikai written by poets from all over the country. Mayuzumi Madoka is currently the president of the "World Online Haiku Association".

Iliad and Heike Monogatari: comparing their themes, literary structures and influences on their respective societies
type: item
description: The epic literary genre is very well represented in the West by works of Homer, however, few studies focus on similar works from eastern societies such as China, Korea and Japan; comparative studies between western and eastern epics are also infrequent. This article proposes a comparison between the Japanese work Heike Monogatari and Iliad, a Greek work of Homer, seeking similarities in theme, literary structure, characteristics of the leaders and heroes of each work and the influences they exerted in their respective societies as historiographical sources, as well as their reflections in the cultural heritage.

Psychoanalysis and japanese language: interfaces among subject, language and desire
type: item
description: This study analyzes the relationships between Japanese language-culture and representations of oneself and the other in a context of training teachers of Japanese as a foreign language. We conducted, through interviews and written questionnaires, an investigation with participants who attended a Japanese language course at a public university in the capital of Brazil. We aimed to understand how representations of language-cultures could reflect on the participants' notions of identity, as well as on their representations of what it is to be a Japanese teacher. To do so, we mobilize theoretical aspects of linguistics, psychoanalysis and cultural studies. In this article, we analyze the unique case of one of the research participants.

Perpetuation, Resilience and the Kendô’s Forms

For this, the forms of spelling in ideograms of the “kata” romanization are recovered, and the context of production of the two sets of move

Preparativos da aula de japonês com o uso de obras literárias: análise e estratégias
type: item
description: O uso de obras literárias no ensino de LE tem sido reconhecido benéfico, especialmente no aumento de vocabulário, esclarecimento contextual, melhoria na motivação dentre outros. Ao compreender a obra, há evidências da utilização da tradução mental para facilitar o processamento cognitivo eficaz na LM. No entanto, a análise textual pelo professor para estabelecer estratégias no ensino é pouco estudada, apesar da complexidade do texto literário. Nesta pesquisa, utiliza-se a ferramenta de text-mining, AntConc, para observar um texto usado em uma disciplina de japonês na Universidade de Brasília. O resultado demonstra várias características da obra como: personagens principais, frequência de ocorrência dos verbos, diferentes usos de partículas/auxiliares verbais. Por meio desses resultados, ressalta-se a importância da análise textual no uso de obras literárias para o ensino de LE, em que o professor decide o que e como ensinar a língua com eficácia, dentro da fluidez da história.

Desire and mediation in Ōgai and Soseki: the frames of reading of J. Keith Vincent and Iida Yūko
type: item
description: In this paper we will present the analytical frames of J. Keith Vincent and Iida Yūko regarding the mediation of desire in works these critics designate as homossocial narratives, by Natsume Sōseki and Mori Ōgai. Both critics make use of the same theoretical assumptions and carry out a reinterpretation of the critical fortune of Meiji-era novelists. After reconstructing their arguments, we will show how, despite similar premises, these critics operate with different views regarding the representation of sexuality and desire in these writers, opening space for debate about the historicization of these elements, as well as their functioning within fictional narratives.

Study on research trends of japanese language textbooks in the brazilian university context
type: item
description: According to the 2017 data from the Japan Foundation in São Paulo, it is possible to verify that out of the 8 Brazilian public universities offering undergraduate programs in Japanese Language and Literature, 7 utilize textbooks (TBs) from the Japanese publishing market aimed at adult foreign learners. Considering the significant role these TBs play as linguistic and cultural resources, as well as tools for teaching professionals, this article analyzes the types of national scholarly productions related to TBs from 2000 to 2020, exploring new possibilities in the realm of critical analysis.

The writings of Shiga Naoya as literature of experience: perceptions from the tale The razor (Kamisori 剃刀)
type: item
description: Shiga Naoya (志賀 直哉1883-1971) is known as one of the main writers of the Shishōsetsu (小説) genre, or I-Novel. His writings, however, are considered as a type of literature of experience not only because they are often based on events of Shiga’s life, but due to his capacity to depict in a vivid fashion the characters’ feelings, when they faced the episodes recounted in the stories. As a way of illustrating this ability to portray in an accurate manner the characters’ emotions in his works, this article examines The Razor (Kamisori 剃刀), a tale published in 1910, which does not belong to the Shishōsetsu genre, but is able to convey in a faithful way to the reader the sensations that have driven the protagonist to perpetrate the vile act by the end of the tale.

Appearance, familism and Ryosai Kenbo: report of intervention carried out with japanese-brazilian women through the COVID-19 pandemic
type: item
description: Experience report that aims to describe a gerontological intervention carried out with five women from three generations of a Japanese-Brazilian family. It was conducted from April to June, 2020, amidst the intense and isolated domestic living due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Two photo shoots, rounds of conversation and appearance-related interventions were held. These activities brought up reflections related to familism and the role of good wife and wise mother (Ryōsai Kenbo), founding aspects of the 20th century Japanese Society. Both values have been present through their ageing processes and are still strongly associated with the construction of their identity. The experience showed that appearance-related interventions, combined with theoretical concepts enforced through art, can promote life-course resignification and well-being.

The search for the spiritual and worldly detachment: influences of the zen buddhist philosophy in the tea ceremony
type: item
description: This article aims to bring reflections about the influence of Zen Buddhism on the Japanese tea ceremony. To this end, we chose one among other Zen precepts - the search for the spiritual as opposed to the mundane - which is related to the art of tea. The work was divided into three main topics: 1) Zen Buddhist philosophy; 2) zen and tea and 3) chanoyu: the search for the spiritual and worldly detachment. In this sense, we understand that this secular Japanese art has a long history that goes back to the habit of drinking tea in Buddhist temples in China and that, in Japan, it weaved its way in intrinsic relationship with Zen philosophy.

Koronia-go. A conception of language as a legitimate social practice
type: item
description: The language of the Japanese colonies, also known as Koronia-go, has sometimes been socially valued as a less prestigious variant compared to the standard Japanese language. Recent studies on the language (MAKONI & PENNYCOOK, 2006; PENNYCOOK, 1998, 2001, 2003, 2010) question these linguistic hierarchizations by proposing reflections on conceptions of language that do not contemplate the language in its social environment. As a proposal to consider the issues imbricated in the language valuation, this paper aims to discuss the valuation of the Japanese Colony Language, Koronia-go, through Bakhtin’s Circle conception of language (BAKHTIN, 2013, 2015, 2016; VOLOCHINOV, 2017), and the theoretical concepts in the field of language that conceive language as a social practice and problematize the standard language as an absolute reference.

Lived and romanticized illness: tuberculosis in the works of Masaoka Shiki and Kajii Motojirô
type: item
description: This article aims to discuss how the poet and critic Masaoka Shiki and the writer Kajii Motojirô deal with tuberculosis, an illness they both contracted and from which they would die, in their literary works. In our opinion, their approach differs from that found in some 19thcentury novels in which illness and the sick are imbued with a sentimental aura as in the novel Hototogisu by Tokutomi Roka.

Economy, politics and religion: salvationist discourse in japanese pop culture
type: item
description: This paper analyzes the salvationist discourse taking as materiality the tokusatsu MegaBeast Investigator Juspion, launched between 1985 and 1986. The main objective is to describe and interpret the functioning of salvationism in the interdiscursive relationship with economic, political and religious discourses. The corpus is composed of discursive sequences (DSs) transcribed from the characters speeches from which the discursive fields of reference (economic, political and religious) that regulate the extraction of the DSs are inserted. Worldrenowned and part of the cultural memory not only of the East, but also of the West, Juspion is one of the many mythological forms that, through the intertwining of the economic, the political, and the religious, gives rise to effects of meaning of resistance to power.
