マンガは「大衆文化」なのか？ : 日本研究におけるマンガの位置づけをめぐって

• In English, the study of manga has been more or less subsumed to ‘Japanese popular culture,’ recently understood in the main as a commercial, conformist, and comforting youth culture with significant global impact and economic effects. Subject-wise, entertaining media and fancultural activities have come to override, for example, sports since the first academic publications appeared in the mid-1990s. In the field of Japanese studies, the ‘Japanese’ (of ‘Japanese popular culture’) is inclined to be highlighted, although increasingly with regard to society and consumption rather than exotic culture. In contrast, this chapter focuses on already historical conceptions of ‘popular culture,’ respective differences in English and Japanese terminology, and the question of what becomes visible, and what obscured, by addressing manga under that name. [This chapter is a revised version of my Japanese-language contribution to the journal issue edited by the Department of Japanology at Hanoi University, 2021.]
