This book inquires what is meant when we say "local" and what
"local" means in the Japanese context. Through the window of
locality, it enhances an understanding of broader political and
socio-economic shifts in Japan. This includes demographic change,
electoral and administrative reform, rural decline and
revitalization, welfare reform, as well as the growing metabolic
rift in energy and food production. Chapters throughout this edited
volume discuss the different and often contested ways in which
locality in Japan has been reconstituted, from historical and
contemporary instances of administrative restructuring, to more
subtle social processes of making - and unmaking - local places.
Contributions from multiple disciplinary perspectives are included
to investigate the tensions between overlapping and often
incongruent dimensions of locality. Framed by a theoretical
discussion of socio-spatial thinking, such issues surrounding the
construction and renegotiation of local places are not only
relevant for Japan specialists, but also connected with topical
scholarly debates further afield. Accordingly, Rethinking Locality
in Japan will appeal to students and scholars from Japanese studies
and human geography to anthropology, history, sociology and
political science.
