Abstract:
Burakumin (部落民), the largest minority in Japan, are a (re)construction of the modern period, much like race and ethnicity. Since Japan’s modernization, the Burakumin have been discriminated against in various ways; for example, young Burakumin have been driven to suicide due to discrimination in marriage and employment. The terms Buraku （部落） and Burakumin were established during Japan’s period of modernization. They settled in the Japanese language by the early 1900s. Existing studies, however, locate Buraku discrimination as originating in feudalism, or as reflecting Japan’s fixed system of society. Alternatively, Western researchers have attempted to understand Burakumin in relation to India’s system of outcastes. Both approaches are wanting, since the existence of Burakumin has experienced repeated (re)construction and reconceptualizing. Non-Burakumin have been integrated into existing or formed new Buraku communities; for example, this paper explores the formation of four new Buraku in a city where the Japanese Naval Station required a huge supply of day laborers. I show that agreements to supply Burakumin laborers reflected the mobility of capital and bio-power, as defined by Michel Foucault.

Abstract:
Approximately 3 per cent of the population of Japan belong to an indigenous minority group—known as Burakumin—against whom prejudice and discrimination still exist. After many years of activity the Burakumin Liberation Movement pressured the government into launching an affirmative action programme which has been in operation for 15 years. However, the ‘ Burakumin problem’ has generated fierce controversy within Japanese society, not least between the Japan Socialist Party and the Communist Party of Japan and their supporters within the liberation movement. The paper concentrates on their different theoretical approaches to the problem and discusses some of the practical consequences of the controversy.

Abstract:
The article mostly deals with an area on the southeast of Kyoto, which is known to be settled also by the Korean minority. The research based on a few short fieldworks focuses on their struggle to gain access to the resources through the process of community building (machizukuri). The process of machizukuri began under the liberation movement of another marginalized group known as burakumin, who live in the neighbourhood area. The research also looks for the relationship between these two discriminated groups. This article thus challenges the idea that the involvement in the process of community building of one group serves as a know-how for other marginal communities for collaborations with cities and local self-governing establishments.

Abstract:
National Identity, Ethnic Identity, Minoritiness...These are all categories which appear to have existed always already, categories which seem to be normative by nature. They are determinative, for they position human beings on different levels of the social ladder and organize strategically human interrelations. Yet, while these same apparently transcendental categories appropriate a position of universality, they also claim to be particular to a specific place, a specific people, a specific race etc. The disjunction inherent in these categories can be realized within this ideological contradiction. It is therefore this very disjunction that calls upon the rethinking of identity in relation to nation, ethnicity and minority. In this thesis I offer a translation of nine separate excerpts from Kobayashi Aya's account on Burakumin experience in Japan. The author's contemplation on Japaneseness and Minoritiness, her questioning of national identity as a category and of this category as predetermined become the focus of my work. While outlining the structure of Kobayashi's writing and the methods she chooses to employ, I analyze the concepts of performativity, repetition and disruption as potential options for rethinking Japaneseness and Minoritiness as categories of identity.

Abstract:
Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades
Informe de Seminario para optar al grado de Licenciada en Ciencias Históricas
Durante el período Meiji se determinó la apertura oficial del sistema de castas. Lo que significó que los parias del período Tokugawa –denominados eta y hinin-, pasaron a ser “nuevos ciudadanos”. Sin embargo, a pesar de la “liberación”, continuaron siendo vistos como un grupo aparte, siendo aislados y rechazados, existiendo entonces cierta continuidad con el grupo anterior, pero pasando a ser denominados “burakumin”. Tradicionalmente eta y hinin desarrollaron actividades relacionadas con la muerte, tales como funerarios, carniceros, mataderos y curtidores de cuero. Incluso antes del periodo Tokugawa, se fue formando un estigma alrededor de este grupo, el que se extendió al Japón contemporáneo impidiendo la integración del grupo a la sociedad. En la realidad socio-cultural de Japón, se observa una estrecha relación con las religiones. Las más importantes son el budismo, confucianismo y shintoísmo, las que han otorgado creencias, comportamientos, actitudes y valores a la sociedad. No se puede entender la cultura de Japón sin estudiar sus religiones, pues el nexo es inseparable. De esa manera, observamos la existencia de valores sagrados que han fundado el funcionamiento de la sociedad, y que tienen su raíz en los planteamientos de estas religiones. Al tener esto en cuenta, podemos descubrir cómo los valores sagrados en el Japón contemporáneo han influido en la permanencia del estigma burakumin. El valor de la pureza, se relaciona con mantenerse alejado del kegare (contaminación), traídos por los efluvios de la muerte y del cuerpo; pero también tiene conexión con actitudes y comportamientos considerados puros: honestidad, armonía y lealtad, por ejemplo. La familia por otra parte, es otro de estos valores, siendo la base de la sociedad afirmada en un engranaje de deberes recíprocos. Y por último: el orden, que se liga también a la pureza en tanto representa la configuración deseada dentro de la sociedad. De manera que se busca mantener el orden, sobre todo en pos del grupo. La relación que establecemos entre la permanencia del estigma y estos valores, la entenderemos al ver que el estigma que se formó en torno a los eta y hinin, y que pasó a los burakumin, se relaciona con el kegare. Por lo tanto, al ser vistos como contaminados, se convierten en atentados a la pureza. Así, el estigma de los burakumin, que engloba todo aquello que la sociedad desprecia, representa un peligro para sus valores sagrados. Es entonces, al querer resguardar estos valores, cuando la discriminación aparece.

Abstract:
Shin Buddhism in Japan supports human rights today because it was forced to come to terms with its own discrimination against burakumin—a Japanese minority that has experienced severe caste-like disadvantage and exclusion based on heredity, occupation, and place of birth. The majority of burakumin follow Shin Buddhism, in which they have been treated as outcastes, just as they have been within other Buddhist schools and within Japanese society as a whole. Over the course of the twentieth century, buraku advocacy groups pressured the Shin sects to respond to specific doctrinal and structural incidents of discrimination, both contemporary and historical. One of these sects, the Ōtani-ha, developed its institutional policy on this serious social problem precisely by interacting with buraku advocacy groups, both secular and sectarian, and responding to their specific criticisms.The story of this institutional struggle can be effectively told through the story of one of its priest-bureaucrats, Takeuchi Ryō'on (1891-1967). Takeuchi, who flourished in the Ōtani-ha administration from the 1920s to the 1950s, worked to alleviate buraku discrimination and put forward a Shin Buddhist theory of social engagement. Takeuchi's story reveals how a Buddhist bureaucrat and his faction—with time, personnel, and money—worked under pressure to create an ethical social policy based on Shin doctrine. In addition to examining the issue of buraku discrimination, a Shin Buddhist sect, and a member of its "middle management"—topics rarely addressed in English language Buddhist studies—this dissertation performs two important tasks. First, it describes a type of Buddhist ethical thought that is self-consciously historical and concerned with the religious organization, the "order" (kyōdan), as a whole in its actual and ideal aspects. My examination of this type of ethical thought provides a rare but important complement to scriptural, philosophical, and individualistic accounts of Buddhist ethics. Second, it challenges current scholarly models of Buddhist social engagement, or "socially engaged Buddhism," which tend to neglect the early twentieth century and large, established Buddhist groups. I find social engagement in pre-1945, large, conservative organizations, and not just in post-1960, small-scale, progressive groups. This is because social engagement is a Buddhist response to modernity itself and not tied to a particular modern political ideology.
Aujourd'hui au Japon, le bouddhisme Shin appuie les droits de la personne parce qu'il a été contraint d'assumer sa responsabilité relativement à la discrimination qu'il a lui-même exercée à l'endroit des burakumin, une minorité japonaise qui a subi de graves préjudices en matière de caste et qui a souffert d'exclusions basées sur l'hérédité, la occupation, et le lieu de naissance. La majorité des burakumin adhèrent au bouddhisme Shin. Au sein de celui-ci, tout comme au sein d'autres écoles bouddhiques et au sein de la société japonaise dans son ensemble, les burakumin ont été traités comme des hors-castes. Au cours du vingtième siècle, des groupes de défense buraku ont exercé des pressions sur les sectes Shin pour que celles-ci réagissent à des cas spécifiques – passés et contemporains – de discrimination doctrinale et structurelle. En interagissant avec les groupes de défense buraku (tant des groupes séculiers que des groupes religieux) et en prenant en compte les critiques de ceux-ci, l'une de ces sectes – la secte Ōtani-ha – a élaboré une politique institutionnelle qui traite directement de ce grave problème social. L'histoire de Takeuchi Ryō'on (1891-1967), l'un des prêtres-fonctionnaires de la secte Ōtani-ha, permet de retracer dans les faits l'histoire de cette lutte institutionnelle. Takeuchi, qui a œuvré au sein de l'administration de la secte Ōtani-ha à partir des années 1920 jusqu'aux années 1950, s'est affairé à contrer la discrimination exercée à l'endroit des burakumin et à développer une théorie bouddhique Shin concernant l'engagement social. L'histoire de Takeuchi montre comment – grâce à du temps, du personnel et de l'argent – un fonctionnaire bouddhiste et ses alliés ont travaillé sous pression afin de mettre sur pied une politique d'éthique sociale fondée sur la doctrine Shin. En considérant le problème de la discrimination exercée envers les burakumin, ainsi qu'en traitant d'une secte bouddhique Shin et d'un membre de l' « administration intermédiaire » de celle-ci, la thèse se penche sur des thèmes qui sont rarement abordés dans les études bouddhiques de langue anglaise. Par ailleurs, la thèse remplit deux autres fonctions importantes. Premièrement, la thèse décrit un type de pensée éthique bouddhique qui se perçoit réflexivement comme une pensée historique et qui se préoccupe de l'organisation religieuse – l'« ordre » (kyōdan) – dans sa globalité, tant sur le plan du réel que sur le plan de l'idéal. L'analyse que j'effectue de ce type de pensée éthique contribue singulièrement et substantiellement aux approches textuelles, philosophiques et individualistes portant sur l'éthique bouddhique. Deuxièmement, la thèse critique les modèles universitaires actuels de l'engagement social bouddhique, ou du « bouddhisme engagé socialement ». Généralement, ces modèles négligent la période du début du vingtième siècle et ne tiennent pas compte des groupes bouddhiques institutionnalisés à grande échelle. J'observe que l'engagement social est manifeste au sein de grandes organisations conservatrices antérieures à 1945 et que celui-ci ne se manifeste pas seulement au sein de petits groupes progressistes ultérieurs aux années 1960. En définitive, l'engagement social constitue une réaction bouddhique à la modernité elle-même et il n'est lié à aucune idéologie politique moderne particulière.

Abstract The Burakumin is a minority group in Japan that has, since ancient times, been suffering from social discrimination from the majority Japanese. Their occupations were considered contaminated and resulted with the exclusion and avoidance of the Burakumin from society. Until 1871, the Meiji government issued the Emancipation Edict, which still can’t let then on an equality with common Japanese. Modern Burakumin descendants confronted by difficulties can be roughly classified as: Background checks、Education problem、Employment and marriage discrimination and reverse discrimination. The fight against social discrimination, Buraku Liberation Organizations launched a lot of liberation movements. Until 1969 the Japanese government finally admitted that the Burakumin are discriminated in the long term. The government has the obligation to develop a series of related special measures law to resolve the problem. Burakumin dwelling environment improved significantly, but human rights aspect is not obvious. In the 1990s, human rights issues regained people''s attention, but government and human rights organizations pay attention to Burakumin’s human rights problem again. The study analyzes the current state of discrimination、government''s assistance measures、introduced main Buraku liberation organizations、analyzed Special Measures Law defect and liberation movement''s missing. Buraku Liberation Organizations should better use the mass media resources to let the majority citizens come to a better understanding of Burakumin. The government must develop more complete human rights law to maintain Burakumin and other minority’s human rights.

Abstract:
L’étude porte sur la question des burakumin, les intouchables japonais, dans deux oeuvres de l’écrivain japonais Nakagami Kenji (1946-1992), lui-même issu de cette communauté. Mille ans de plaisir, recueil de six contes basés sur des récits de vie, et le roman Miracle forment une suite organisée autour des mêmes lieux, des mêmes personnages et des mêmes thèmes. Ils décrivent la condition sociale d’une collectivité mise au ban de la société japonaise malgré sa modernisation. Ils se distinguent par leur caractère d’ethnofiction. Nakagami cherche à réhabiliter les burakumin en valorisant le patrimoine religieux et folklorique dont ils sont dépositaires. Il puise dans les genres traditionnels comme le monogatari ou les contes et légendes du Japon. Il s’inspire également d’auteurs modernes japonais (Mishima, Tanizaki) et d’auteurs étrangers (Faulkner, García-Márquez). À partir de cet intertexte et pour faire barrage à l’occidentalisation, il élabore un style « hybride » digne de la littérature nationale (kokubungaku). Les oeuvres traditionnelles sont réinterprétées dans une esthétique postmoderne ayant une fonction ironique et critique contre l’idéologie impériale répressive qui continue d’alimenter la discrimination envers les burakumin. L’analyse porte sur les procédés qui sous-tendent le projet social et le projet littéraire de l’auteur. Elle se divise en trois parties. La première donne un aperçu biographique de l’auteur et décrit les composantes de son projet social qui consiste à vouloir changer l’image et le statut des burakumin. La deuxième partie décrit les éléments religieux et folkloriques des deux oeuvres et analyse en contexte leur signification ainsi que leur fonction, qui est de mettre en valeur les traditions préservées par les burakumin. La troisième partie montre en quoi le répertoire traditionnel (monogatari) et les intertextes sont mis au service du projet littéraire proprement dit.
This study addresses the issue of burakumin, Japanese untouchable or social outcast, in the works of the Japanese novelist Nakagami Kenji (1946-1992), who had himself come from this community. Together, A Thousand Years of Pleasure, a collection of six tales based on life stories, and the novel Miracle, form a continuum articulated around the same places, characters and themes. They describe the social condition of a community exiled by the Japanese society in spite of its modernization and stand out as works of the ethnofiction genre. Nakagami tries to rehabilitate the burakumin by the valorization of the religious and folk heritage of which they are the custodians. He draws from the traditional works such as monogatari, the folk tales and legends of Japan. He also draws from contemporary Japanese authors (Mishima, Tanizaki) as well as from foreign ones (Faulkner, García-Márquez). With this intertext as a starting point and to stand against westernization, he elaborates a “hybrid” style worthy of the national literature (kokubungaku). The traditional works are reinterpreted with postmodern aesthetics that introduce an ironic and critical tone against the repressive imperial ideology still feeding discrimination towards burakumin. The analysis bears on the processes underlying the social and literary projects of the author. The thesis is divided in three parts. The first one provides a biographic overview of the author`s life and describes the components of his social project which consisted in changing the image and status of burakumin. The second describes the religious and folk elements of both works and analyzes in context their meaning and their function, which is to emphasize the traditions upheld by the burakumin. The third and last part shows how the traditional repertoire (monogatari) and intertexts are used to support the literary project itself.

Japan is a famous industrialized country in the world. However, under its modernized appearance, the discrimination originated from social disparity against burakumin as well as caste system in India still exists which can be traced back from the ancient times in Japan. The reason why the burakumin was formed is associated with the concept of "dirty" in Japanese tradition. As days go by, it has turned into discrimination against specific profession, such as butchery, funeral industry, and leather industry. Based on the historical research method, the literature analysis method and the comparative research method, this paper collects relevant cases and finds that even in the modern Japanese society, whether in politics, justice, economy or culture, the discrimination against burakumin is still pretty obvious. Started with the discrimination against burakumin, this article continues to explore the impact caused by the discrimination on Japan''s diplomatic policy. The disputed territorial policy and the comfort women policy are used as examples to analyze whether there were different treatments originated from disparity between Japan’s former colony Taiwan and South Korea in Japan''s diplomatic policy. In terms of the disputed territorial policy, Due to the high sensitivity to the war in the disputed territories, the consideration on diplomatic policy in Japan is still based on regional security. It is difficult to make a difference based on the concept of the disparity. In terms of the policy of comfort women, Japan’s attitudes and practices for policy making in Taiwan and South Korea are very different. For Taiwan, Japan has always ignored its claim. For South Korea, Japan has made several concessions and even signed the "Japan-Korea Comfort Women Agreement." Since the issue of comfort women is only recognition and remedy for history, it does not involve regional security considerations. The fact that Japan recognizes the existence of Korean comfort women and is willing to make compensation means that the existence of comfort women can not be concealed. As to Taiwan, Japan could have done the same thing as well. However, Japan has always ignored Taiwan''s requests since the very beginning. Therefore, this article believes that these differential treatments are caused by the concept of disparity.

This diploma thesis attempts to provide an analysis of the human rights discourse in Japan and Japanese foreign policy. The author analyses the most important current issues (falling under the category of first-generation human rights) including: Korean minority issue, discrimination against persons of burakumin origin, gender issue and the topic of comfort women. In the second part of the thesis, the author explores the human rights discourse in the foreign policy of Japan. With the help of his research conducted in 2013 in Tokyo among diplomats, academics and NGO representatives, he examines three possible approaches to explain the current state of affairs: a national interests approach, a constructivist approach (cultural conditionality) and a policy-making approach (taking into account the role of intrastate actors).

This study is a qualitative research. Research the case of kitashiba community, Minoh city, Osaka, Japan. In the Japan’s social culture, Burakumin is an outcast group at the bottom of the Japanese social order that has historically been the victim of severe discrimination. They were originally members of outcast communities in the Japanese feudal era, composed of those with occupations considered impure or tainted by death (such as executioners, undertakers, workers in slaughterhouses, butchers or tanners). Currently, they still discriminated by the entire Japanese society and their life have faced a variety of unfair issue and challenge. Therefore, they cooperate with each other to make this Kitashiba community more better and improve their living standard. The member of Kitashiba community hopes that they want a chance to let other people who is not Burakumin to realize them and be a friend to know each other to breakthrough the discrimination. Community currency is the money that circulates within a community economy. There are various community currencies in the world, actually in Japan, the way of distribution and the purpose of publication will be different for each community. At Minoh Kitashiba there is a history that aimed at utilization as a currency to become the opportunity of supporting people to connect and try to solve the children’s poverty issue. The purpose of paper research the community currency—Mabu(まーぶ) how to operate in Kitashiba community?

Abstract:
This chapter first examines the history of Burakumin activism to combat discrimination against them based on their former outcaste status, which by the 1970s had established them as an influential group that had secured some successes. However, social discrimination against Burakumin persisted, and Burakumin activists explored different ways to fight it. Global human rights emerged as a prominent source of legitimacy for their activism and they began engaging with international human rights institutions. Initially intended to advance their own issues, their international engagement developed into a new pillar for their activism that focused on protecting minority rights across the globe, resulting in the establishment of a new international NGO with a UN consultative status, the International Movement against All Forms of Discrimination and Racism (IMADR). Through IMADR, they expanded global human rights by establishing a new rights norm against discrimination based on descent and work.

Abstract:
How can the “voiceless” voice be represented? This primary question underpins this book's analysis of selected works by Buraku writer, Nakagami Kenji (1946–1992). In spite of his Buraku background, Nakagami's privilege as a writer made it difficult for him to “hear” and “represent” those voices silenced by mainstream social structures in Japan. This “paradox of representing the silenced voice” is the key theme of the book. Gayatri Spivak theorizes the (im)possibility of representing the voice of “subalterns,” those oppressed by imperialism, patriarchy, and heteronomativity. Arguing for Burakumin as Japan's “subalterns,” the book draws on Spivak to analyze Nakagami's texts. The first half of the book revisits the theme of the transgressive Burakumin man. This section includes analysis of a seldom discussed narrative of a violent man and his silenced wife. The second half of the book focuses on the rarely heard voices of Burakumin women from the Kiyuki trilogy. Satoko, the prostitute, unknowingly commits incest with her half-brother, Akiyuki. The aged Yuki sacrifices her youth in a brothel to feed her fatherless family. The mute Moyo remains traumatized by rape. The author's close reading of Nakagami's representation of the silenced voices of these sexually stigmatized women is this book's unique contribution to Nakagami scholarship.

Abstract:
The chapter offers an overview of the book starting with a summary of the history of Ainu, Zainichi, and Burakumin before posing the core puzzle of the book. It then examines literatures on the history of global human rights and their impact on local social movements, and situates the book’s approach in the broader scholarly approaches in the studies of social movements, human rights, and globalization. It then points to the three key theoretical contributions of the book: (1) the transformative impact of global human rights on local actors, (2) subnational variations in how global human rights affect local politics, and (3) the feedback mechanisms through which local movements influence global human rights institutions.

Abstract:
This introductory chapter offers a brief background into the works of Nakagami Kenji (1946–1992) and how he represented the voices of the socially silenced in Japan. Notably, Nakagami belonged to the Burakumin (“outcaste”). Although he is known as a Burakumin writer, and much of his writing is indeed set in a Burakumin context, not all of his material provides representations of Burakumin life. His work further depicts the diversity of backgrounds among Buraku people, including those who, like the writer himself, received financial and economic benefits from the democratic systems introduced at the time. Given this Burakumin emphasis, the chapter briefly introduces key historical and sociopolitical aspects of that experience before embarking on an analysis of the writer's works. This analysis also includes a brief overview of the extensive corpus of Nakagami scholarship which exists in both Japanese and English.

Abstract:
This chapter gives a close rereading of Nakagami's most well-known work, the Akiyuki trilogy: “Misaki,” Kareki nada, and Chi no hate shijō no toki. It particularly focuses on Nakagami's depiction of the voice of a transgressive man who is oppressed by the fragmentation of the relationship between him and his family and also his subaltern (Burakumin) community during the dismantlement of the Kumano Burakumin homeland. Particular attention is paid to how Nakagami's theory of monogatari (narrative) operates to depict the voice of the Kasuga Burakumin. Of particular importance is the third novel in the trilogy, Chi no hate shijō no toki. Although this chapter provides an overview of “Misaki,” and Kareki nada, the focus of the textual analysis is on how Nakagami, a writer who consciously chose to “become a Burakumin,” represents the Burakumin voice in Chi no hate shijō no toki. It also discusses the Akiyuki trilogy as an example of Nakagami's unique writing practice that derived from overlaying the modern Japanese Western-influenced naturalist literature mode with the more traditional Japanese narrative mode.
