We will study by paying specic attention to the existence of the ‘single’ and the way of life, by using Enishi, a Japanese word, which mean karmic/relation/connection.At that time, we focus on ‘single’ in society and concerned about family and kinship relations, and in addition, on the relationship between ‘single’ and the state which put considerable impact on the individual person.[Anthropology of Trans-area Migration in East/Southeast Asia: Culture, Ethnicity and Identity within Cross-marriage/Cross-divorce Network]Project term: April, 2010 – March, 2013Coordinator: ISHII, Kayoko (Nagoya University of Commerce & Business)This research project aims to analyze trans-border marriage migration networks (including divorce migration) within Asian countries, particularly the Asia Pacic area. Hitherto, many anthropological scholars have discussed trans-border migration in the Asia Pacic area, but very few have focused on marriage migration and its network or mechanisms. Even fewer studies have discussed migration by way of divorce. This research group aims to contribute further to migration studies by analyzing network building and mechanisms of marriage/divorce migrations.Small-scale workshops based on this research group’s members shall be held three times every year. Research outputs from each member shall be presented and discussed at the workshops. An international symposium based on the three-year project is expected to be held during the last/third year. The selected symposium outputs are expected to be edited and published as an academic book. [Towards a Multi-disciplinary Approach for Developing and Harmonizing Field Methods in Anthropology and Development Studies]Project term: April, 2010 – March, 2013Coordinator: MASUDA, Ken (Nagasaki University)1. To place the anthropological eld methods, like participant observation and qualitative interviews, in the context of social investigation in a broad sense.2. To explore a combination of different methods including qualitative research and quantitative investigations such as epidemiology, statistics, GIS.3. To consider the possibility of technical fusion through examination of the outcome of the Demographic Surveillance System (DSS) in Asia and Africa.4. To nd new ways of applying these methods to actual development subjects.Each development program requires “eld work” to conrm facts and identify problems to be solved. However, it is thought that the methods of investigation should be quick and prompt as in the Rapid Ethnographic Method (Rapid Appraisal). Members of this project are interested in inventing new methods that pay attention to “noise,” which is likely to be trimmed by such a prompt and “linear” investigation; members are also interested in combining such methods with anthropological “spiral” movement of thinking. This approach will make social development eldwork more fruitful in the light of increasing demands for qualitative research methods among development practitioners.Joint Research Projects
