The Politics of Memory in Modern Japan
／Subtitle of this course
This course will explore issues of memory-making and memory-shaping
in modern Japan. After a survey of theories of historical and social
memory, we will analyze the main institutions of memory and
commemoration in modern Japan, their functions and historical
講義概要 development, as well as important Japanese “realms of memory”, their
／Course description representation in Japanese culture and controversies surrounding
memorialization projects in Japanese society and politics. Apart from
examining case studies of Japanese memory institutions, we will also take
a comparative look at controversies about historical memory in other
countries, above all in Germany, South Korea, Spain, France and Italy.
The course shall raise the students’ awareness of the importance of issues
到達目標（授業の目標） of historical memory in recent decades and problems emerging from
／Course objectives “memory wars” in modern societies. It will also explore the background
of the use and abuse of history and its implications for political
developments in Japan as well as in international relations. What are the
political, ideological and aesthetic presuppositions of memory-making
and of representations of history? Who are the major actors in memory-
making in modern Japan? What can we say about the relation of the
individual and the state through the analysis of the politics of memory?
