発表概要:
In 1965, a small group of Tibetan school children resettled in Saitama. Since then, the Tibetan community has grown to about 250 members, primarily in Tokyo. This talk analyzes the surprising politics of the Tibetan diaspora in Japan. How do the ideologies of rightwing groups and individuals translate into outsized Tibetan support? How does rightwing dominance alienate left-leaning progressives and further erode the already-fragile culture of Japanese volunteerism? How do Tibetans in Japan respond to this political milieu? Answering these questions fundamentally reframes the Tibetan diaspora and provides stark contrast to the rights-based liberal support for Tibet common across Euro-America. It also addresses the broader question of the place of Tibet, Tibetans, and Tibetan Buddhism within the Japanese cultural imaginary.
