Moyamoya Field Work Analysis 3rd Edition

Genre:
  • Art Project ,
  • Lecture / Symposium

“Moyamoya Field Work” is a research project consisting of a Research component, in which visits are made to medical and welfare facilities, related organizations, groups involved in care and others in Tokyo and its suburbs, and participant observation of activities and interviews with the parties concerned are conducted; a Report and Conversations component where opinions and viewpoints gleaned from these interviews are shared with session participants then jointly discussed and considered; and an Analysis component inviting researchers to deepen the discussion from a theoretical and methodological standpoint.
Through a cycle of Research, Report, Conversations and Analysis, the project attempts to reexamine a variety of issues.

In the Analysis component, researchers with “diversive” viewpoints that reopen questions about existing discourse and situations are invited as guest commentators to each session. The aim is to connect and deepen practical wisdom gained from “Moyamoya Field Work” via researcher presentations, comments arising from them and discussion by all participants.

For this Analysis 3rd Edition, cultural anthropologist Sayaka Ogawa will discuss aspects of “diversions” for survival, from the perspective of the “cunning” of second-hand clothing traders in Tanzania who establish their businesses while both cheating each other and helping each other.
For the convening of the 3rd Edition, participants are sought to take a seat at the table and actively participate in the discussion.
