The Subjective Japanese Migrants in Asia A Case of Taipei and Shanghai Sachiko KANETO Abstract Since the mid of 1990s, in search of new life or construct self-subjectivity, the migration from Japan to Asia-Pacific areas are more and more increasing. Yet there have been few studies on these new Japanese migrants in the previous frame of migration studies and related study fields. In recognizing the recent development of migration studies and the passivity of the researchers engaged in Asian Studies, I conducted the interview research to Japanese from December 2004 to February 2006 in Taipei and Shanghai. In this paper, by analyzing narratives related to motives and experiences on migration to Japanese in Taipei and Shanghai, and describes the mixture and the diversity of gender, nationality and social stratification over Japanese migrants there, attempts to explore the transformation of modern nation-state and its space, and the new Japan and Asia-Pacific coexistence beyond the political level under the globalization. Keywordssubjective migrants,globalization, boundary crossing, gender, nation-state.
