Abstract

Journal of Japanese Studies 43:2 (2017) national scale, as well as the focus on the child (in Ivy’s more recent works). Although Ivy’s past research focuses on a far different era (1980s), those questions surrounding modernity and the nation even then gripped Japan, if in ghostly, sometimes more nostalgic form. What is made clear by positioning Arai by way of Ivy is that the anxieties of recessionary Japan arc much farther back than the 1990s. Rather, those troubled concerns arise out of more than material privation, finding even more poignant expression amidst national plenty. It falls to Japan’s recessionary generation, born in and to strangeness, to shape a new normal that takes up the responsibilities of reconfigured domestic belonging, global citizenship, and individuated expression. This is a tall order but a necessary one for a Japan that has been challenged from within and without. Arai’s work grapples precisely with the dynamic processes of laying down new grooves of possibility that respond to these challenges. Nonformal Education and Civil Society in Japan.
