In the absence of a solid body of official sources, they provide important insights into the victimization of the Chinese, the actions of the Japanese, and relief activities. But scholarship has also raised doubts about the reliability and impartiality of these accounts. Which biases and changes of memory may have influenced their production?&nbsp;<\/p><p>This paper analyzes the Japanese and Chinese reception of the diaries written by John Rabe (1882- 1950), a German witness of the Nanjing Massacre. After their discovery and their first use by Iris Chang, Rabe\u2019s diaries were partly published in 1997 in their original German version as well as in English, Chinese, and Japanese translations. However, instead of contributing to a convergence of historical narratives of the Nanjing Massacre they have further fueled antagonistic interpretations of the event between China and Japan, as well as within Japan. Why did this occur? How have the diaries been evaluated in academia and in the wider public?&nbsp;<\/p><p>This paper analyzes and compares the reception in Japan and China and evaluates the controversy surrounding the Rabe diaries in the wider context of the role the Nanjing Massacre plays in the commemoration of World War Two and Japan\u2019s imperial past in both countries.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00ab\u00a0Testifying and Contesting War Experiences in China and Japan\u00a0\u00bb Torsten Weber Dans le cadre de\u00a0Global Japon(s), anim\u00e9e par Aleksandra Kobiljski, Gr\u00e9goire Sastre et Cyrian Pitteloud, le Centre de recherches sur le Japon a le plaisir de vous inviter \u00e0 la&hellip;&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/sfej.asso.fr\/?p=2898\" class=\"more-link\">Lire la suite<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":948,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[28,31],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2898","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-actualites","category-conference"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/sfej.asso.fr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2898","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/sfej.asso.fr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/sfej.asso.fr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/sfej.asso.fr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/sfej.asso.fr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2898"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/sfej.asso.fr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2898\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2899,"href":"http:\/\/sfej.asso.fr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2898\/revisions\/2899"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/sfej.asso.fr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/948"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/sfej.asso.fr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2898"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/sfej.asso.fr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2898"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/sfej.asso.fr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2898"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
