This book explores the transition from the era of
internationalization into the era of globalization of Japan by
focusing on language and identity as its central themes. By taking
an interdisciplinary approach covering education, cultural studies,
linguistics and policy-making, the chapters in this book raise
certain questions of what constitutes contemporary Japanese
culture, Japanese identity and multilingualism and what they mean
to local people, including those who do not reside in Japan but are
engaged with Japan in some way within the global community. Topics
include the role of technology in the spread of Japanese language
and culture, hybrid language use in an urban context, the Japanese
language as a lingua franca in China, and the identity construction
of heritage Japanese language speakers in Australia. The authors do
not limit themselves to examining only the Japanese language or the
Japanese national/cultural identity, but also explore multilingual
practices and multiple/fluid identities in "a transitional Japan."
Overall, the book responds to the basic need for better accounts of
language and identity of Japan, particularly in the context of
increased migration and mobility.
