| Research Abstract |
There have been many studies on Japanese acceptance of western sciences. But they mainly focused on professional discourses. But the process of popularization of sciences is not limited in professional research and education. Public acceptance of scientific knowledge is the important part of modernization of Japanese society. We studied some aspects of Japanese acceptance of scientific knowledge in the public, and the relationship between scientific ideas and their representations in Japanese literature. We investigated academic journals, for example Zoological Journal, popular science magazines, juvenile magazines, and 1970s mass media discourse on occultism (pseudoscience). We held four academic meetings, once in each year.
