Dear fellow researchers,

We would like to inform you that a session focusing on Japanese society and Japanese culture will be taking place as part of the World Congress of Sociology in Yokohama next year. Although the deadline is coming soon, we look forward to receiving additional contributions from those who might be interested.

This session will be in English.

DESCRIPTION:

This session intends to focus on Japanese society and Japanese culture.
Taking Japan as a case, we hope to delve deeper and highlight some of the key similarities and differences emerging out of theoretical and empirical research done on Japan and in other cultural contexts. In so doing, we aim to open new questions and revitalize a variety of discussions of importance for the sociology of communication, knowledge and culture.

To better explore the different facets of Japanese culture, we welcome papers touching on a wide variety of questions, including but not limited to ones concerning traditional and popular culture, the articulation of Japanese culture with media and technology, its institutions, its economy, its politics. Furthermore, papers may contribute to any or all dimensions or the research process, whether theoretical, empirical or methodological.
