  • From Oriental Studies to South Pacific Studies: The Multiple Origins of Vietnamese Studies in Japan, 1881 to 1951

    • Authors: Roustan, Frédéric (2011)

  • Production of contemporary knowledge on Vietnam in Japan began in the early 1880s. The knowledge produced before 1930s was almost exclusively the result of non-academic and non-institutional research. This article explains how the production of knowledge developed and evolved in the framework of two distinct geographical concepts that also defined the two worlds in which Japanese knowledge of Asia was produced. I attempt to understand how a particular area of research was structured in relation to institutions, research methodologies, and the various actors who helped shape Vietnamese Studies in the context of Japanese expansion in Asia.

  • Mousmés and French Colonial Culture: Making Japanese Women's Bodies Available in Indochina

    • Authors: Roustan, Frédéric (2012-01)

  • The presence of Japanese prostitutes in French colonial Tonkin started around the middle of the 1880s. That colonial culture enclosed these girls within the category of the mousmé. This article analyzes the discourses and activities of several actors inside the colony who participated in the refinement of this essentialist category in order to understand the symbolic commodification of Japanese women's bodies. Once they were released onto the prostitution market, Japanese women were classified and marked by the representations of male colonial society, which constructed all facets of these women, from their moral qualities to their visibility.
