Hokkaido Dairy Farm
Hokkaido Dairy Farm offers a historical and ethnographic examination of the rapid industrialization of the dairy industry in Tokachi, Hokkaido. It begins with a history of dairy farming and consumption in Hokkaido from a macro perspective, mapping the transition from survival to subsistence and then from mixed family farms to monoculture and "mega" industrial operations. It then narrows the focus to examine concrete changes in a Tokachi-area dairying community that has undergone rapid sociocultural upheaval over the last three decades, with shifts in human relationships alongside changes in human and cow connections through new technologies. In the final chapters, the scope is further narrow...
Entre lenguas y culturas
Este libro presenta una mirada crítica y reflexiva de distintas temáticas tratadas en un departamento que tiene una larga trayectoria en la enseñanza de lenguas y el análisis crítico de lo cultural y lo lingüístico: a lo largo de diferentes artículos permite un recorrido por las áreas, las líneas de investigación, las preguntas metodológicas que dan forma al trabajo de los profesores de Lenguas y Cultura. Más allá de las diferencias, su lectura permite reconocer, en la pedagogía de una lengua extranjera como en los estudios culturales, la misma tensión hacia la otredad, la diversidad y la relación entre lengua, lenguaje y cultura. Este Documento de Ciencias Sociales se presenta en dos tomos (1. Prácticas pedagógicas; 2. Escenarios para los estudios culturales) que recogen materiales útiles para un diálogo entre áreas, docentes y estudiantes.

Imaginative Mapping
Landscape has always played a vital role in shaping Japan’s cultural identity. Imaginative Mapping analyzes how intellectuals of the Tokugawa and Meiji eras used specific features and aspects of the landscape to represent their idea of Japan and produce a narrative of Japan as a cultural community. These scholars saw landscapes as repositories of local history and identity, stressing Japan’s differences from the models of China and the West. By detailing the continuities and ruptures between a sense of shared cultural community that emerged in the seventeenth century and the modern nation state of the late nineteenth century, this study sheds new light on the significance of early modernity, one defined not by temporal order but rather by spatial diffusion of the concept of Japan. More precisely, Nobuko Toyosawa argues that the circulation of guidebooks and other spatial narratives not only promoted further movement but also contributed to the formation of subjectivity by allowing readers to imagine the broader conceptual space of Japan. The recurring claims to the landscape are evidence that it was the medium for the construction of Japan as a unified cultural body.
