Paperback. Condición: New. The Contours of Endearment offers a fresh, Southeast Asia-centered perspective on the complex and evolving relationship between Japan and the nations of Southeast Asia. While much scholarship has emphasized state-to-state political and economic ties, this volume highlights the softer, more nuanced dimensions of these connections-those that emerge through culture, migration, education, and everyday encounters.Through case studies of the original five members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN-5)-Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, and Thailand-the contributors trace how Southeast Asians themselves have engaged with Japan across multiple arenas. Chapters explore themes such as the historical context of post-World War II relations, the development of Japanese studies in Southeast Asian universities, labor migration from Indonesia and the Philippines, and the circulation and localization of Japanese popular culture, including anime and manga, in Singapore and Indonesia.Employing an innovative "inter-area studies" approach, the volume shows how Southeast Asia-Japan relations cannot be reduced to simple economic partnerships or geopolitical strategies, but must be understood as multi-layered interactions shaped by local histories, aspirations, and cultural flows. By privileging Southeast Asian experiences, The Contours of Endearment broadens the "Japan (plus)" model of inquiry and offers new ways of thinking about Japanese studies that move beyond the Japan-centric frameworks that have long dominated the field.This timely collection not only deepens understanding of Southeast Asia-Japan relations but also demonstrates how area studies can evolve beyond Eurocentric limitations to embrace more dynamic, multidirectional perspectives. Rich in detail and comparative insight, it will appeal to students and researchers of Japanese studies, Southeast Asian studies, cultural studies, migration, and international relations.…

Paperback or Softback. Condición: New. Generations in Touch. Book.

Paperback. Condición: New. A dilemma long faced by western societies-how to bring the generations together-is also of growing concern in the east. In Japan, where, until recently, the extended family often lived under the same roof, social programs designed to facilitate interaction between old and young have proliferated. Leng Leng Thang offers an in-depth view of one of those programs, an unusual social welfare institution called Kotoen. Kotoen is a pioneering facility for multigenerational living, providing both daycare for preschoolers and a home for elderly residents. With its twin mottoes of fureai (being in touch) and daikazoku (large extended family), it has been the subject of widespread media attention and has served as a model for other institutions. Yet Kotoen has never before been studied seriously. Under its director's inspiring leadership, Kotoen looks unusually promising, but Thang is wary of simplistic conclusions. Her interviews, research, and work as a volunteer at Kotoen reveal the complaints common among some elderly residents toward their surroundings in old age institutions as well as the painful persistence of the traditional family ideal. Yet far from calling the experiment a failure, Thang challenges accepted wisdom and so-called common sense to reveal the advantages and limitations of the relationships fostered between Kotoen's "grandchildren" and "grandparents." The lessons learned from Kotoen illuminate the urgency of re-engaging the generations in an aging society and provide direction for improving the quality of life for all.…
