Hi Tetz, Hi David,
I am a Japanese speaking subscriber of Foucault-L list! However, I dare not
say I am currently involved in Foucaultian research. I undertook my PhD
under the supervision of Nikolas Rose, and utilized the genealogical method
in my analysis of Meiji Japan in my thesis. This was in 2001. I have been
living in Japan now for 5 years, and for various combined reasons, am now
more involved in the 'Cultural Studies' scene in Japan. (Have you heard of
'Cultural Typhoon'? I am hosting the 5th symposium in Nagoya. If you're
interested, do come: http://www.cultural-typhoon.org/.) However, I am
hoping to take up the Foucault gauntlet again soon and if there is going to
be some sort of networking (kenkyukai, so forth), I'd love to join in, so
please do keep me posted.
Cheerio!
Kaori

Hi David,
Thanks for your response. I know Yoshi well because he is my dissertation
supervisor here! He already told me about you. It's a small world, indeed.
Best,
Tetz
