Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Reviewing relevant theoretical literature and ethnic minorities’ media self-representations, we adopted “koosaku,” an expanded notion of intersectionality, as the central concept of this research project. “Koosaku,” literally meaning “complex web,” offers a useful perspective to challenge the binary opposition of the Japanese and the foreigner as well as highlight people’s multiple senses of belonging without neglecting structural power relations. In two international research meetings with Korean and Taiwanese researchers, we reaffirmed the importance of “koosaku” to debunk the myth of national homogeneity, a common multicultural issue in the three societies. Conducting interviews, fieldwork, and media analysis, we investigated complex power relations in which race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, class, and others intersect and examined how such relations were constitutive of identities of people with various cultural backgrounds in Japanese society.
