The print is fromthe series One Hundred Poems Explained by the Nurse (Hyakunin isshu uba ga etoki), and is inspired by thefollowing poem, attributed to Fujiwara no Tadahira, a poet active in the eighth century.

On Ogura mountain
Could only have hearts,

welcome to mediasia / filmasia 2014
Dear Colleagues,
Welcome to the great city of Osaka, and to the Fifth Asian Conference on Media and Communication (MediAsia) and theThird Asian Conference on Film and Documentary (FilmAsia), which will again be held jointly this year, and will include the
IAFOR International Documentary Film Awards.
The MediAsia and FilmAsia conference is an international conference that invites academics, practitioners, and researchers
from around the world to meet and exchange ideas, to share in the development of intellectual discoveries, and to challenge
dominant paradigms.
Although this conference is one of the smaller events held by IAFOR, the weekend will see 150 participants representing
more than thirty countries, and I have every confidence that we will again see an amazing celebration of the very best ininternational, intercultural and interdisciplinary discussion, debate and research synergies.

I have no doubt that we will all be able to use the time spent at this conference for intellectual discovery and the developmentof collaborative links and connections between the researchers, academics, scholars and practitioners who are attending, andI strongly encourage your active engagement throughout the event.
I look forward to meeting you all.

Keynote Address: Investigating Wrongful Convictions around the World - Building an International Network to
Examine Miscarriages of JusticeHistorically, journalists and other members of the media have played an important role in uncovering and airingmiscarriages of justice through published investigations, documentaries and other media forms. Since 1999, The Medill
Justice Project has investigated potentially wrongful murder convictions in the United States, uncovering revelatory
information that has impacted people’s lives and the criminal justice system. Wrongful convictions aren’t exclusive
to the United States; they occur in every country. Recognizing a need for an international community of people
and organizations focused on uncovering injustices in the criminal justice system, The Medill Justice Project has built
the Journalism Justice Network to foster connections among those who examine law enforcement, the courts andcorrectional institutions.The Journalism Justice Network embraces the multitude of ideas and approaches the network’s
members discuss as each tackles its own investigation related to the universal issues involving miscarriages of justice.

Led by Conference Chair Gary E. Swanson and discussed through the lens of the conference theme ​“Individual, Community& Society: Conflict, Resolution & Synergy,” the 2014 MediAsia Panel will engage and debate the ongoing challenges,
implications and responses by the mainstream media and media educators, to the rapid rise of new digital forms andtheir effect on the international media landscape. This decade in particular has seen the emergence through social mediaof the citizen journalist. Whether by using blogs, Twitter, Facebook or other forms of new media or digital technology, theincreasing role of the private citizen as journalist is seen by some as a ‘game-changer’ that threatens the professional media
and traditional investigative journalism. How can the professional react? Do we fight back or embrace the rise of the citizen
journalist? What are the tensions involved in this change?

Featured Presentation A Corpus Stylistics News Story Analysis of a Japan-China Faceoff - The Senkaku-Diaoyu
Territorial Dispute
News coverage of the Japan-China territorial confrontation (Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands) reveals marked differences in
the way the two countries present their claims. This study explores this issue by showing that Japanese descriptionsof the argument are more neutrally presented, through restrained and hedged lexical choices without metaphoricalallusions, resulting in a rational, somewhat abstract, and arguably weaker case being put forward. Chinese descriptions
tend to be more hawkish in their choice of aggressive lexis and employ forceful metaphors resulting in a more emotive
presentation of the issue. Japanese concerns about Chinese representations of the Senkaku/Diaoyu issue being more
vivid are supported by the results of this study, but a less inflammatory, more reasoned approach, as followed by theJapanese news agencies, also has its merits.
The research question, drawing on a corpus of Japanese and Chinese news agency articles, such as those written by
Kyodo and Xinhua, and other press articles was,“Do Japanese and Chinese news stories differ stylistically in their coverageof the Senkaku/Diaoyu dispute?”To examine this question, news agency articles written in English were collected using Featured Speech
LexisNexis. Following the approach to analyzing journalism stylistics of Broersma (2010) and corpus stylistics principlesof Mahlberg (2012), analysis of English language news stories targeted at an international readership was carried out Saturday, November 15
focusing on tagged lexical and metaphorical items. Discussion is scaffolded using the stylistic concepts of foregrounding
and deviance (Leech, 2008). The study advances the case for using corpus stylistics to parse journalistic texts. 16:00-16:45

Abstract: The applicability of social semiotics to the study of cinema appears to be limited by its own theoreticalfoundations, as it posits that signs can only be understood by those who belong to the same cultural group as thesign-maker. Given that this theoretical approach was developed within the discursive fields of Western academia,
it would seem irrelevant to the understanding of any non-Western cinemas.
This paper will argue that it is indeed possible to apply specific analytical tools and assumptions from social
semiotic theory to the understanding of some non-Western cinemas, and to Japanese cinema in particular. The
first step will be to deconstruct the “classical Hollywood mode” / “Japanese Cinema” dichotomy as defined inWestern academic discourse.
The next step will be to look at two specific examples of film codes: The close-up code, and the encoding of
temporal information in screen direction, and how they are used in both the contexts under discussion.This paper
will not argue for the existence of transcultural universals, but rather offer a detailed analysis of the history anddevelopment of Japanese cinema and its connection to Hollywood film culture.
By detailing the influence of the Japanese Pure Film Movement (Jun’eiga geki undō ) and the early transnational
Japanese star Sessue Hayakawa, we can historicise and contextualise the development of classic Japanese cinema,
and thereby develop a better understanding of the codes utilized by Japanese filmmakers, and how they wereinterpreted and understood by contemporary Japanese audiences.

Cultural Stereotypes and Media Coverage of Disaster:Analysis and Implications of International Media Framingof the 2011 Japan Disaster
Jamie Matthews, Bournemouth University, UK
About the Presenter: Jamie Matthews is Lecturer in Communication and Media in the Media School, Bournemouth
University. Jamie holds an MA in International Relations from the University of Sussex and a PhD in Public
Communication from Bournemouth University. He is Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
His research interests centre on the mediation of conflict and crisis and the influence of particular media
representations on the dynamics of public opinion. He has published and presented research on framing anddiscourses of terrorism and counterterrorism policy, news sources and audience perception. He is currently
conducting research on international news coverage of the 2011 disaster in Japan, exploring the discursive
construction of this event and the intersection of global discourses with public constitution of the disaster.
Abstract: The news media allow people to bear witness to disaster, enhancing emotional proximity and opening
up collective spaces which enable publics to process and make sense of complex events. The representation ofdisasters, therefore, has the potential to resonate beyond the sovereign nation states and the immediate locales
in which they occur, enabling audiences to identify and form strong emotional bonds with distant others (Corpus
Ong, 2006 cited in Pantti, 2012).
International news coverage of the earthquake and tsunami that devastated Japan’s North East coast on March 11,2011 and the subsequent nuclear accident at Fukushima was criticised for drawing on established metanarrativesof disaster. Some have argued that the discursive construction of this event emphasised the indiscriminate powerof nature (Pantti, Wahl-Jorgensen, & Cottle, 2012, p. 52) or contributed to an othering metanarrative by highlighting
the stoicism and resilience in the Japanese response to the disaster (Huang, 2011; Rees, 2011).

xvi

By combing mapping analysis with a critical discourse analysis across three international news outlets’ coverageof the 2011 disaster, this paper will consider how representation of the disaster drew on embedded culturalstereotypes of Japan and the Japanese. It will argue that, in part, such representations were facilitated by theprofessional and ideological imperatives of journalism, which serve to construct disasters through ‘emotionallypowerful’ narratives (Liebes, 1998).

Room: Ohgi - Rihga Royal Hotel 6F

The Force is Strong with this One - Using Star Wars to Illustrate Concepts of International Relations andPolitics
Joel R. Campbell, Troy University, Japan
About the Presenter: Joel Campbell is an Associate Professor of Political Science in the Pacific Region (Japanand Korea) of the Global Campus program of Troy University, a United States University in Japan. He teaches
in the Masters of Science in International Relations (MSIR) program and has had a life-long interest in East Asia
and International Politics. Dr. Campbell was born in Ohio, grew up in Texas, and has lived in Arizona, Missouri, andTennessee. He was awarded a doctorate in political science from Miami University (Ohio), and a Masters of Public
Affairs (M.P.A.) from the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin. Following
this he worked in several governmental offices, including the Texas House Speaker’s office and the TennesseeValley Authority.

Abstract: The “Star Wars” film franchise has been one of the most successful in movie history. George Lucas’s
film universe is an intriguing blend of mythological and multi-genre film plot devices, but also combines various
elements that illustrate key international relations and political concepts. The first trilogy, which was released
between 1977 and 1983, dealt with themes of political rebellion, authoritarianism/totalitarianism, and the state/
religion relations. Lucas described the essential message of the second trilogy, between 1999 and 2005, as how
republics decay to empires, and how peoples lose their freedoms. Both trilogies also dealt with important themesof intercultural relations, diplomacy, human rights, rights of indigenous peoples, feminism, the efficacy of militaryforce, and the nature of state organizations. Examination of the franchise also allows us to examine the relative
claims of realist, liberal, and constructivist theories of international relations.

Recognizing Hidden Bias in Cross-Cultural Diplomacy
Stephen Ryan, Yamagata University, Japan

spotlight presenters

Dr. Campbell has taught at Tohoku University, Miyazaki International College and Kansai Gaidai University in Japan,
three universities in Korea as well as previously being an editor for a Japanese securities firm. He has also publishedextensively on his principal research interests, the politics and political economy of Northeast Asia, along withtechnology policy and international security. Dr. Campbell has written numerous articles for academic journals on
topics ranging from combating terrorism and money laundering to European Union economic integration andtechnology policy. The bulk of his publications have focused on the politics and political economy of East Asia,
especially in Japan, South Korea, and China. Dr. Campbell is also a contributor to IAFOR’s Eye Magazine.

About the Presenter: Stephen Ryan is a Professor at Yamagata University, Japan. He is a long term resident ofJapan and is currently researching the areas of Intercultural Communication and Cross-Cultural Psychology. He is
most interested in how unconscious cultural background knowledge affects communication and decision-making
in cross-cultural contexts.
Abstract: Diplomats and those in the field of Intercultural Communication (IC) are both concerned withinternational relations as well as communicating and interpreting information across distinct national cultures.
Those in public diplomacy attempt to inform, influence and communicate effectively with foreign government
officials. An understanding of IC theory can make these tasks easier because IC seeks to understand how andwhy people from different cultures communicate differently and interpret the same events in unique ways. This
presentation will cover three areas before presenting cross-cultural research data. First, IC theory can provide
diplomats with a clear starting point for understanding their counterpart’s worldview. Second, recognizing national
cultural differences, even at the risk of stereotyping, is an area worthy of study because this is an environment
where a diplomat assigned abroad for a short time is required to work and make consequential decisions. Third,
unconscious cultural background knowledge, or schema, often holds hidden bias that, when applied to crosscultural contexts, may be highly significant to those in diplomacy. After discussing these three areas above, an
example of cultural background knowledge related to diplomacy will be given from the author’s cross-culturalresearch with the aim of showing how deep cultural knowledge can unconsciously influence our world view andjudgment of someone from a different national culture. Research data collected from Japanese and Americans will
be given as an example.

INTERDISCIPLINARY

iafor“To Open Minds, To Educate Intelligence, To Inform Decisions”
The International Academic Forum provides new perspectives to the thought-leaders and decisionmakers of today and tomorrow by offering constructive environments for dialogue and interchange at theintersections of nation, culture, and discipline. Headquartered in Nagoya, Japan, and registered as a NonProfit Organization (一般社団法人), IAFOR is an independent think tank committed to the deeper
understanding of contemporary geo-political transformation, particularly in the Asia Pacific Region.

IAFORThe International Academic Forum
Academic Vision and Mission“To Open Minds, To Educate Intelligence, To Inform Decisions”
The vision of IAFOR grew out of the perceived need to fill a vacuum in the communication and exchange activities of the academic
world. Its mission arose out of examining that space and investigating why it existed. The vacuum existed because of the lack ofopportunity for serious and thoughtful exchange between academics, members of the global business community, and practitioners
in the fields of human endeavor that linked these groups together. In the field of education, for example, we have academic theorists,
educational managers (political decision-makers and organizational directors) and classroom teachers with their support staff in IT,
library work, exchange programs, and specialist fields. But how often do they have the opportunity to interact?
Moving beyond one particular field, larger questions arise. What function should universities prioritize in the 21st century? What
do businesses see as their contribution to social and global well being? How can people on the ground, trying to implement
improvements that will transform human life, best be supported? And perhaps above all, what are the agendas that will drive
mechanisms to enable these groups to interact effectively.
One piece of distilled thought that came from early exchanges at one of our conferences was the recognition that some of therhetoric of concern about the problems of developing nations was perhaps over-focused on the term “poverty” because it can be
defined only in a relative way. “Hunger” was put forward as being more immediate and itself a contributory factor to poverty, rather
than the other way round. One key to the hunger issue could be the provision of safe drinking water, or water for irrigation in somecontexts, while flood management might be necessary elsewhere. These, in and by themselves become valuable only insofar as they
help to relieve hunger in specific contexts.
IAFOR is affording opportunities that do not exist elsewhere. The base is Osaka, Japan’s great commercial and manufacturing hub,
one symbol of the emerging Pacific economy that is already eclipsing the long dominant Atlantic zone. Our conferences present
those taking part with three unique dimensions of experience. First of all, it encourages interdisciplinary activity to be expanded.
Depending on the field, this can face varying degrees of difficulty, ranging from discouragement to downright prohibition. Those
overly dependent on fixed academic structures often see lateral thinking as a threat. None of these negatives apply in IAFOR. Its
purpose is to generate new approaches that cross any disciplinary lines. The principle employed is to let the imagination permit
intuitive responses to questions. There are no panels of critics. There are simply people who want to listen and reflect. The model ofacademic work as potholing is replaced by the metaphor of mountaineering. While respecting the need for solid and well-founded
academic work, we feel the need to go beyond it from time to time to discover fresh approaches to old questions.
Secondly, it facilitates the heightening of intercultural awareness. Again, we encourage innovation through cross-cultural perception.
Cultural roots influence people in their attitudes more than most would realize or admit. The need to see and internalize insights
gained from other viewpoints is met by a process of steady illumination.
Thirdly, it promotes the broadening of international exchange. We may live in a globalized world, but in reality parochialism still holds
sway. The collapse of the U.S.S.R and the break-up of Yugoslavia led to the re-establishment of numerous former countries. While
this may be desirable for the peoples concerned, it merely adds to the world’s cultural confusion. Exchange leads to explanation andthat helps the growth of intercultural awareness.
IAFOR makes all of these developments possible in one gathering. Our conferences are not a substitute for specialist conferences.
We intend our events to be an alternative that functions as a balance or even a corrective to the extreme tendencies that can arise
from more narrowly defined research parameters. In short, IAFOR is promoting and facilitating a new multifaceted approach to oneof the core issues of our time, namely globalization and its many forms of growth and expansion. Awareness of how it cuts acrossthe worlds of business, and academia, along with its impact on societies and institutions is one of the driving forces that has given
the organization its momentum, and is making it a pioneer in this global age.

How are papers selected?
Journal Editors may accept papers through an open call, and proposed articles may be sent directly
to the respective editors. A small number of papers from the associated IAFOR conference
proceedings may also be selected by the journal editor(s) for reworking and revising subject tonormal processes of review. It is expected that between 5 and 10 percent of papers included inany given conference proceedings will be developed for inclusion in the associated conference
journal.
How are IAFOR Journals related to IAFOR conferences?
IAFOR’s journals reflect the interdisciplinary and international nature of our conferences andare organized thematically. Papers included in the associated conference proceedings may beconsidered for reworking by the editor(s), and would then be subjected to the same processes ofpeer review as papers submitted by other means.
