Rencontres de l'Association interdisciplinaire des ethnographies japonaises - 1ère édition

フランスの日本エスのグラフィー研究会

Rencontre organized by Jean-Michel Butel, César Castellvi and Anne-Lise Mithout

Institutional support: Conseil scientifique de l'Inalco, CRCAO, GIS Asie, IFRAE

Les rencontres de l'Interdisciplinary Association of Japanese Ethnographies are an annual gathering enabling participants to present the results of their recent investigations and initiate new collaborations around the shared practice of applied ethnography in Japan.

Beyond disciplines and objects, ethnographic practice constitutes an effective and specific approach to deepening analysis of contemporary Japan. The Interdisciplinary Association of Japanese Ethnographies aims to be a space of exchange for researchers in Japonology using field practice as part of their research. These Rencontres aim to provide an opportunity to take stock of recent survey results and upcoming projects; initiate new collaborations; open a window to students interested in applied ethnography in Japan; deepen questions about the ethnographic method and share "field tricks".

These two days will be structured around a workshop to present participants' work. They will also host a discussion area on recent publications, as well as the presentation of documentary films.

At the end of the 1st day, the projection of the documentary film 空に聞く [Listening to the air] by KOMORI Haruka (2018, 73 minutes) - Jury Prize at the Fenêtres sur le Japon 2021, will be held at the auditorium of Inalco.

Following the screening a short discussion will be moderated by Dimitri Ianni, co-organizer of the Fenêtres sur le Japon festival.
