[March 26] Desire to Return to the 80's - Regarding the Misogyny Phenomenon of the Internet in Modern Japan

March 20, 2024l Hit 74


 

Thirty years have passed since the end of the Cold War and globalization, and the "region" is in the midst of a drastic change in redistricting. Accordingly, the knowledge system that looks at the "region," that is, the content and method of "regional research," is being newly constructed across boundaries.The era of "post-regional research" is now opening. Meanwhile, Seoul National University's Institute for Japanese Studies, which celebrated its 20th anniversary, invited experts from the front lines of each field to prepare eight lecture series to explore the future of Japan and the future of Japanese research.

 

 

As the second lecture, we will invite Professor Fujita of Japan Institute of the Moving Image to give a lecture as follows, so we look forward to the participation of interested people.

Title:Desire to Return to the 80's - Regarding the Misogyny Phenomenon of the Internet in Modern Japan 

 

Language:Japanese 

 

Summary:

Like Korea and the United States, online misogyny is spreading in Japan. Moreover,like the United States, it shows ties to otaku culture and subculture. Is this a coincidence? Is it inevitable? 

In this presentation, we will discuss the issues considering from the perspective of the continuity of subculture, otaku culture, and net culture regarding the 80s, 90s, and zeroes and 10s. People who have experienced post-95 economic stagnation and severe economic competition have escaped to anime, games and the Internet.

As social networking services become more generalized and sound, people who are de-socialized with anarchy created by the media such as <2 Channel> and <Niconico Video> etc are losing their places. 

In the 1980s, a sense of being "invaded" or "deprived" arose amid such changes in the times.There is a desire to return to an era in which people did not have to think about the seriousness of society or reality as shown in .
