Abstract | This study investigates gender and ethnicity by following three research traditions: gender and ethnicity as category, gender and ethnicity as construction and gender and ethnicity as deconstruction. The textbooks selected were six of the most popular Japan ministry of education (MEXT) approved textbooks that have been designated for use in public junior high schools from 2006 - 2010. Naming, identities, roles and verbosity/turn initiation were analyzed with regards to gender/ethnicity construction. There were distinct gender and ethnicity differences in how naming contributed to visibility or invisibility of a group. Furthermore, although there were superficial equalities in verbosity, when it came to turn initiation there were some disturbing albeit unintentional tendencies. An analysis of images and positioning also revealed striking tendencies that may contribute to an entirely hidden/unfortunate curriculum. The analysis closes with a look at the staged, twisted and meaningless messages of gender and ethnicity as masquerade that somehow made their way into these textbooks. |
