内容提要

日本学研究在世界各地的发展轨迹因不同的历史和文化背景而有所不同。在本次讲座中，我想探讨东南亚各大学日本研究系的各个方面，以展示地缘政治和文化背景与区域研究之间的复杂关系，并讨论这些不同的系如何为日本研究作出贡献。我将首先简要介绍日本研究系在东南亚的发展历程，并以一些大学和相关组织（包括新加坡国立大学）为例进行案例研究。我希望讨论的一些问题包括：该地区各个项目有哪些独特的特点？这些日本研究系之间的异同是什么原因造成的？东南亚的日本研究系有哪些可能的途径可以与东南亚以外的同行建立联系？

The trajectory of Japanese Studies in different parts of the world is different because of different historical and cultural contexts. In this lecture I would like to explore the various aspects of different Japanese Studies Departments in ASEAN universities to showcase the intricate relationship between geopolitical and cultural background and area studies, and discuss how these different departments contribute to the study of Japan. I will first provide a short survey of the development of Japanese Studies departments in Southeast Asia. Examples from a few universities and relevant organizations, including NUS, will be used as case studies. Some of the questions I would like to address include: what are some of the unique features of each program in the region? What account for the similarities and differences amongst the Japanese Studies departments in the region? What are the possible ways for ASEAN Japanese Studies departments connect with peers beyond Southeast Asia?
