The French Research Institute on Japan at the Maison franco-japonaise is pleased to invite you to its next webinar:

Japan’s Productivity Puzzle
Friday 21th April / 12:30 – 14:00 JST
Lunch Webinar on Japanese Economy and Society / 
Online / In English, without translation

Speaker: Franz Waldenberger (Director of the German Institute for Japanese Studies)

To sustain income levels in face of a rapidly aging society, Japan will need to increase labor productivity. Value added per hour worked has been increasing over the last 30 years, but it remains very low in comparison to other OECD countries. In 2021, it was below 60% the US level. This is surprising given Japan’s excellent resource conditions: a high education level of its workforce, high investment in research and development and relative abundance of capital. The presentation will try to resolve Japan’s productivity puzzle and discuss possible ways on how productivity could be increased. 

Moderator: Sébastien LECHEVALIER (FRIJ-MFJ)
Organization: FRIJ-MFJ

Supermarket Woman (1996): Bubble shadows and burst premonitions in Itami Jūzō’s film 

Like his father, Itami Mansaku, Itami Jūzō in his work displays a true talent for sharp social observation and sometimes gentle and humorous, sometimes more direct and biting social criticism. During his relatively brief career as a filmmaker, the younger Itami took on several issues of concern of his contemporary surroundings. Reconsidered from the vanguard of today, even such a seemingly inconspicuous film as his 1996 comedy about a housewife being hired to turn around the fortunes of a failing supermarket can be seen as expressive of the zeitgeist of the mid-1990s. In this talk, I will discuss how Supermarket Woman simultaneously reflects shadows of the bubble economy era while also foreshadowing its burst and the impact of both developments on the daily lives of very ordinary people. 

2. Marie Pruvost-Delaspre (Maître de conférences, Paris 8 University Vincennes-Saint-Denis) 

Reading Miyazaki Hayao’s films through an economic lens 

Miyazaki’s filmography as a filmmaker can be approached through a variety of entry points, one of them being an analysis of the diverse topics and patterns appearing in his own discourse. The notion of crisis, and more specifically the economic crisis, has been a recurring theme in his interviews since the late 2000s. This talk aims at exploring the questions at stake in Miyazaki’s use of the notion of economic crisis, by intertwining a discursive study of a corpus of interviews and a formal analysis of several key sequences in his films from Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi (2001) to Kaze tachinu (2013).

« From magic lantern and the camera obscura to writing about phantasmagoria and ghosts, supernatural beings have been given extensive treatment in the area of visuality and visual representation. In the case of Japan, the thriving early modern print industry established visual forms for strange creatures that had not originally been subject to visual demarcation: perhaps most famously, the iconic image of the female ghost without feet came to characterize popular representations of ghosts in fiction. In an attempt to supplement the ocular orientation of existing research, this presentation will focus on dimensions of sound and voice that became integral to the representation of ghosts in nineteenth-century theater. Bringing the auditory and other senses, in addition to the visual and the semantic, to bear on our understanding of kabuki plays and rakugo or oral storytelling, I show how the synergies of different senses such as sound and smell generated affective registers and made representation of ghostly bodies credible on stage. This presentation also teases out the importance of the auditory to Japanese theatrical arts, in which many guilds of blind performers participated in the chanting of history and war tales or performed narratives of hell, suggesting a connection between the absence of sight and the ability to experience extraordinary encounters. »

M. Antonio MANIERI, de l’Orientale de Naples donnera à l’UFR LCAO la série de conférences suivante dans le cadre d’un échange Erasmus :

1. SÉMINAIRE DE RECHERCHE : Texts and Terminologies for Practical Use in Multilingual/Multiscriptal 8th-Century Japan

mardi 4 avril, 17h00-19h00, salle Léon Vandermeersch (Grands Moulins, bâtiment C, 4e étage)

Résumé

« In the research seminar, I will focus on certain 8th-century practical and bureaucratic texts in Sinitic inscribed on wooden tablets (mokkan) and paper documents (Shōsōin monjo) which contain specialized technical terms in vernacular Japanese. Although the terms have their Sinitic equivalents, the compilers of documents have shown some resistance to using them, possibly due to the oral and performative character of technical knowledge. Additionally, I will show how these terminologies are also included in some lost dictionaries that have survived fragmentarily in indirect tradition, such as the Yōshi kangoshō 楊氏漢語抄 (Notes on Chinese Words by Master Yako, ca. 720). I will argue that these dictionaries seem particularly useful for the technical education of state clerks, whose cultural background may not necessarily have been connected with the skills and lexicon required in the office where they were appointed. »

2. CONFÉRENCE : Ancient Japanese Dictionaries: Types and Functions

mercredi 5 avril, 13h00-14h30, salle 406B (Halle aux Farines)

Résumé

« The lesson will present basic information about ancient Japanese dictionaries (kojisho 古辞書), their typologies, and the most important surviving examples (Shinsen jikyō 新撰字鏡, Wamyōruijushō 和名類聚抄, Iroha jiruishō 色葉字類抄, etc.). The goal is to show how a dictionary can be a subject of study and can have utility beyond simply being consulted for difficult words. »

3. CONFÉRENCE: Hippology in Premodern Japan: Sources, Terminologies, Actors

jeudi 6 avril, 11h00-13h00, salle 306B (Halle aux Farines)

Résumé

« This conference will present the evolution of the figure of the horse vet from a state official to a religious practitioner, or the passage in the field of “hippology” from public knowledge, which can be reconstructed through laws and encyclopedias (and dictionaries), to the secret tradition that emerges, for example, during the Kamakura period with the Ba’i sōshi 馬医草子 (Scroll on Equine Medicine, 1267). Furthermore, I will tangentially touch upon the very early Edo period by presenting an illustrated scroll titled Bamōdōizu 馬毛同異図 (Types of Horse Coats, 1641), which is preserved at the Stibbert Museum in Florence and belongs to a series of scrolls on the colors of horse coats showing some continuity with the lexicon in use since the Nara period. »
