Global Perspectives on Japan (GPJ) No.1 - 26th JAWS Meeting "Nature&Technology"

Inaugural Special Issue on 26th Japanese Anthropology Workshop

Global Perspectives on Japan is a peer-reviewed, multi-disciplinary academic journal on Japan related topics. It will be published on a yearly basis, its language of publication will be English, and both hard-copy and digital versions will be distributed worldwide. It will cover all fields of Japanese Studies from history to sociology, from linguistics to philosophy and from arts to anthropology, with topics focusing on both past and the present. Our aim is to enhance our understanding of the dynamics of the complex Japanese society by providing space for alternative views, and unique opinions. We regard phrases “cross-cultural ties”, “interaction”, “inter-disciplinary approaches” as keywords that may help explain our endeavor. Therefore, the choice of using the words “global” and “perspective” in our title reflects a deliberate, conscious attempt to emphasize, underline, and highlight the importance of diverse views,  fluid stances, as well as alternate perspectives.
