Having worked in the humanitarian field, I am also interested in the issue of violence within humanitarian assistance/activities and the power relations between humanitarian workers and beneficiaries.Modernity StudiesThe basic framework of our contemporary society consists of three distinct realms: the techno-economic structure, the polity, and the culture. The ruling principles of these three realms, such as functionary rationality, the idea of equality, and the expression & realization of “self,” originated in Western Europe with the arrival of the modern period. Today, however, these principles are proved to be discordant and are being shaken to their roots along with the progress of globalization. This situation demands a re-examination of the meaning of “modernity” and an accurate reading of just where the world is (should be) heading in this ongoing upheaval. The Modernity Studies Group covers a wide range of disciplines from social thought, economic thought, political thought to epistemology and history of modern science. Through careful analysis of the prevailing principles of the three realms of the modern world, we aim to cultivate firmly grounded capabilities of cogitation that are required for tackling actual issues in our society.Contemporary Social IssuesThe interaction between humans, society and nature has significantly changed and is becoming increasingly complex in modern society. The objective of the "Contemporary Social Issues” course is understanding of contemporary society through an interdisciplinary approach that bridges the humanities and social sciences in exploring leading issues in modern society. For example, we analyze the changes in thinking surrounding nation states, families and individuals from the perspective of gender theory to capture socially constructed human relations; envision an equitable solution to global challenges such as cultural friction, absolute poverty, human-rights violation, climate change and seek to understand human nature and society in a multicultural world faced with informatization of the consumer society facilitated by innovation in media technology. The “Contemporary Social Issues” course disentangles these conflicting problems theoretically and provides a means of tackling them realistically.Graduate School of Intercultural Studies ｜ 57 Teaching staffTeaching staff
