  • Descrição: Takami Kuwayama writes about Kunio Yanagita, a Japanese folklorist who represents both cosmopolitan and nationalist perspectives on the state of anthropology throughout the world in the early to mid-20th century. In Japan, folkloristics developed as a twin discipline of ethnology as distinguished from jinruigaku (anthropology), the study of the physical attributes of human beings or what in the United States is called physical or biological anthropology. An awareness of hegemonic forces in the discipline during that period, furthered by escalating global conflicts, highlights Yanagita's forward-looking insights in his proposed 'world folkloristics,' understood as comprehensive and comparative ethnographic research. Kuwayama emphasizes lessons to be drawn from the strengths and weaknesses of Yanagita's advocacy of nationally generated ethnologies as a basis for subsequent international comparisons and contrasts. The denigration of non-Western traditions, decried by Yanagita at that time, has continued to inhibit the fulfillment of what Kuwayama goes on to discuss as benefits of combining insider and outsider perspectives. He is in an excellent position to assess these possibilities, having published his own innovative formulations of 'native anthropology.' Kuwayama spent many years as a student and professor in the United States before returning to Japan and turning his attention to non-Japanese ethnic groups there. Adapted from the source document.
