The original purpose of this blog was to record my own thoughts and feelings evoked by events that I encountered during fieldwork in Japan. Now I write on my life in the U.S. as a kind of fieldwork.
The category of "a people" is the ambiguous intersection between democracy and nationalism. This category has been used to justify election results in presumably democratic countries like Japan. But what if the so-called "will of the people" were misguided? The people is the sovereign and the dictator.

I am a doctoral student in sociology. From May 2005 through March 2006 I conducted fieldwork in Japan. I am now writing up my dissertation "Cosmopolitan Nationalism: The Development of Transnationality in Japanese Children and Adolescents." My Japanese blog can be found at http://blog.livedoor.jp/postnationalism/
