The Construction of Transnational Identity and Japaneseness in Cultural Production

本研究探讨了移居伦敦、纽约和巴黎的设计师和艺术家的文化生产过程。研究结果表明，在艺术界，成为来自不同行业的人组成的网络的一部分，往往会导致企业活动，从而产生利润。然而，在某些特定的行业中，身居要职的人大多是白人，尽管亚洲设计师和艺术家最近的出现越来越多。综上所述，艺术世界中受种族等级影响的网络和互动导致了“日本性”的建构。

This study explores the process of cultural production of migrant designers and artists in London, New York City, and Paris. The results show that in the art world, being part of a network of people from different professions often leads to corporative activities that result in profits. However, people in positions of power in particular professions are mostly whites, although Asian designers and artists have a stronger presence these days. In conclusion, networks and interactions, which are influenced by the racial hierarchy in the art world, lead to the construction of "Japaneseness."
