这期关于挖掘记忆在日本的力量的特刊探索了记忆是如何在多个不同的研究领域展开竞争的。它在时间上的重点是讲述20世纪40年代的过去和记忆，包括当时和战后时代的战争记忆。日本研究中现存的大部分工作都集中在对战争的记忆上，以及这种记忆是如何跨越国家和国内的边界而被争夺的。在国际上，一个特别令人担忧的领域是，与中国和韩国相比，对日本战争的不同解释、叙述和记忆，就像“南京大屠杀”和“慰安妇”争端(Yoshida 2006，Soh 2009)。另一个令人关注的领域是日本和德国案例的比较以及它们对过去的不同做法(Berger，2012)。在日本、中国和韩国，其他较新的作品也改变了博物馆在纪念过去方面的作用(吉田，2014年)。在国内，关于如何解释和记忆历史的高度争论突出了一场关于日本历史的激烈辩论，而不仅仅是“健忘症”(Seaton 2010)。最近详细介绍了民间团体在基层争夺亚太战争记忆中的作用的工作加强了这一点(Szczepanska，2014)。正如安倍晋三首相在2013年12月参拜靖国神社时看到的那样，对这场战争的不同解读、叙述和记忆不是被锁在象牙塔里，而是对日本与其最重要的两个邻国中国和韩国之间的外交关系产生了深远的影响。安倍与中国和韩国领导人之间没有举行峰会，这清楚地表明，在首相参拜靖国神社之后，影响地区关系的外交低谷。无论安倍的行为代表着日本军国主义的复兴，在通往日本成为哈利波特反派的道路上，正如中国驻英国大使所指责的那样，伏地魔勋爵，或者更确切地说，代表着首相祈祷和平，正如他的日本同行声称的那样
This special issue on excavating the power of memory in Japan explores how memory is contested in a number of divergent fields of research. Its temporal focus is on narrating the past and memory from the 1940s, including memory of the war then and in the post-war era. Much of the extant work in Japanese Studies has focused on the memory of the war and how this memory is contested across the boundaries of the state as well as domestically. Internationally, a particular area of concern has been the different interpretations, narratives and memory of the war in Japan compared with China and South Korea, as in disputes over the ‘rape of Nanking’and the ‘comfort women’(Yoshida 2006, Soh 2009). Another area of concern has been the comparison of the Japanese and German cases and their different approaches to the past (Berger 2012). Other, more recent, work has taken up the changing role of museums in commemorating the past in Japan, China and South Korea (Yoshida 2014). Domestically, work on the high degree of contestation over how history is interpreted and remembered highlights a lively debate over the Japanese past, not simply ‘amnesia’(Seaton 2010). The point is reinforced by recent work detailing the role of civic groups in contesting the memory of the Asia-Pacific war at the grassroots level (Szczepanska 2014). As seen most recently when Prime Minister Abe Shinzo went to Yasukuni shrine in December 2013, the differing interpretations, narrations and memories of the war are not locked away in an ivory tower, but rather exert a profound impact on the diplomatic relations between Japan and its two most important neighbours, China and South Korea. The lack of summits between Abe and the Chinese and Korean leaders are a clear indication of the diplomatic nadir affecting regional relations in the wake of the prime minister’s visit to the shrine. Whether Abe’s action represents a revival of Japanese militarism, on the road to Japan becoming the Harry Potter villain, Lord Voldemort, as charged by the Chinese ambassador to the UK (Daily Telegraph 1 January 2014), or rather represents the prime minister praying for peace, as his Japanese counterpart claimed a
