Summer Program Summer Program 1. Purpose The program is offered to young pre- and postdoctoral researchers from the five countries of France, Germany, the UK, the US and Canada. Held over a 2-month period in the summer, the program provides the participants with an orientation in Japanese language and culture and an opportunity to do cooperative research at a Japanese university or research institute. The orientation is held at the Graduate University for Advanced Studies (Sokendai) during the first week of the program. It comprises Japanese lessons, home stay and other components (which may vary by year). After the orientation, the participants go to their respective host institutions where they conduct joint research under the guidance of their Japanese host researchers. At the end of August, the participants re-gather before going home to present reports on their summer experiences. Note: Those who have previously been awarded a fellowship under a JSPS Fellowship Program are not eligible. 5. Host Researchers and Host Institutes Fellowships are awarded for a period of two months starting from June to August. The host researcher must be a researcher who is employed full-time or classified as being employed full-time (excluding Jokyo, assistant professors, and Joshu, research assistants) at a Japanese national, public or private university or research institution that is eligible to apply to MEXT for funding under the Grants-in-Aid for Scientific-Research Program (Kakenhi) and approved by JSPS as an appropriate institution for hosting young foreign researchers. 4. Eligibility *List of Eligible Host Institutes 1) Be a citizen or permanent resident of France, Germany, the UK, the US or Canada (Others with equivalent status may apply if approved by the nominating authority in one of the above countries.) *Please note that in France, the nominating organization (CNRS) only accepts applications from French citizens. http://www.jsps.go.jp/english/e-summer/index7.html 2.

Cependant, grâce au soutien de mon laboratoire (C.R.I.A., UMR Géographie-cités) et de mon université (Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne) et à mon implication dans un réseau de recherche international sur les villes en « décroissance » (shrinking cities), le Japon s’est imposé comme un terrain exploratoire dans l’analyse des problèmes d’accès aux ressources urbaines (services, équipements…) rencontrés par une population vieillissante. C’est dans le cadre de ce réseau que j’ai rencontré mes futurs hosts, qui ont soutenu ma candidature aux programmes de la JSPS. Les chocs culturels perçus par les chercheurs français vont dépendre en grande partie de leurs expériences passées au Japon et de la région où se trouvera leur laboratoire d’accueil. Aux yeux d’un habitant de la région parisienne, la vie quotidienne dans une ville japonaise crée paradoxalement un moindre choc culturel que l’expérience d’une ville américaine : la densité des réseaux de transports en commun et de l’offre en services n’oblige pas à posséder de voiture, sauf si vous habitez en milieu rural. Quelle que soit la ville, on est généralement frappé par la propreté des rues japonaises, la patience des habitants… Après plusieurs séjours au Japon, on devient plus sensible aux différences inter-régionales. Kyoto, plus provinciale que Tokyo en apparence, donne toutefois l’occasion de pratiquer des activités variées et d’atteindre d’autres endroits du Kansai comme Nara ou la magnifique baie de Wakasa. En séjournant un an, on s’aperçoit aussi de l’attention que les Japonais accordent au passage des saisons. Du point de vue scientifique et académique, j’ai été touchée par la qualité de l’accueil et le confort dans lequel j’ai pu mener mes recherches : un bureau personnel dans la salle des graduate students d’un campus de Ritsumeikan (photo 1), l’accès à de nombreux logiciels et bases de données dans les bibliothèques. Celles-ci sont pensées pour favoriser le travail individuel et le travail collaboratif, sans que les salles ne deviennent pour autant bruyantes. J’ai apprécié l’ambiance des laboratoires, le fait de se déchausser à l’entrée de certaines salles renforçant le sentiment de se sentir chez soi ! Une fois passée la période d’installation, on prend conscience des grandes similitudes dans la vie des laboratoires de géographie français et japonais. Ainsi, en dépit des quantités de chiffres publiés par les bureaux nationaux de la statistique ou les ministères, la question de « l’open source » importe autant à un laboratoire français que japonais. Et il ne s’agit pas du seul point commun qui vous offrira de longues heures de discussions avec vos collègues… J’ai enfin été impressionnée par la ferveur qui accompagne la célébration de fêtes comme le Gion-matsuri en juillet et le Premier de l’an. On peut alors participer à la perpétuation de rites avec des amis. Selon les capacités d’accueil des facultés, vous séjournerez peut-être dans une maison des étudiants qui vous informe de l’organisation d’évènements culturels ou de « parties » liés à ces fêtes (photo 2). 10 Summer Program Jusqu’à la fin de mon séjour, j’ai l’intention de terminer un travail d’information géographique sur la dévitalisation commerciale dans le sud de l’agglomération d’Osaka, en collaboration avec NAGATA Shohei, diplômé de Ritsumeikan et assistant du Professeur NAKAYA Tomoki (Centre de recherche sur la protection des milieux urbains contre les risques naturels), sous l’égide de mon host professor, KAMO Toshio. Nous comptons présenter les résultats de ce travail au Congrès de l’Union Géographique Internationale qui aura lieu à Kyoto en août 2013, puis d’écrire une contribution à un ouvrage collectif sous la direction de Paul Waley (Université de Leeds) et Carola Hein (Université de Bryn Mawr, Philadelphie). A plus long terme je souhaiterais, avec des chercheurs japonais, construire des bases d’information géographique plus systématiques à partir de la collecte d’études de cas et de statistiques issues de différentes régions du Japon.

Avant de commencer ma thèse sur le Japon, j’ai entendu dire que les relations entre professeurs et étudiants y étaient plus mandarinales qu’en France. Cela n’a pas du tout été mon cas ! Il y a autant d’environnements de travail qu’il n’y a d’universités au Japon, soyez confiants dans la qualité de l’accueil qui vous sera réservé. Le statut de boursier de la JSPS est un luxe qu’on ne cesse de mesurer au fil de son séjour au Japon. 11 Postdoctral Fellowship Short-term 2.

Le programme de bourses postdoctorales de la JSPS et le réseau de mon directeur de thèse m’en ont donné les moyens. J’ai ainsi pu rejoindre une grande équipe de recherche en biologie structurale à l’Université de Tokyo. J’ai d’abord été impressionné par les moyens disponibles, les horaires de travail à rallonge et le grand nombre d’étudiants au sein de l’équipe. Mais la barrière de la langue a été beaucoup plus dure à franchir que je ne le pensais. Heureusement, grâce aux cours de japonais financés par la JSPS, aux fêtes saisonnières et aux taches ménagères hebdomadaires, et aux déjeuners quotidiens dans les gargotes bordant le campus, le dialogue s’est peu a peu installé au laboratoire. Et c’est tous ensemble que nous avons tremblé sous nos bureaux le 11 Mars 2011 et suivi fébrilement les nouvelles de la catastrophe jusqu'à la tombée de la nuit. Mais je ne garde pas un mauvais souvenir de mon séjour, bien au contraire. J’ai gardé le contact avec l’un de mes collègues avec qui j’ai pu publier récemment. Un jeune docteur de l’équipe m’a aussi accompagné en France pour son séjour postdoctoral et j’espère que d’autres échanges suivront. Quand à moi je guette l’occasion de retourner vers cette seconde partie. Donner un cours à Kofu Minami SSH (ScienceDialog) 15 Invitation Fellowship Long-term 4.
