  • Domestic Tourism and Souvenir Needs of the Younger Generation: Developing a 'Basketball Town' in Noshiro City and Promoting Sports 'Heritage' Tourism

    IZUMI Hiroshi, ITO Hinata, KOEDO Ayu

    Research paper (university bulletin, research institution)   Domestic Co-author

    How does a sport that flourished in the past in a certain region, or a sport's 'heritage', affect tourism in that region? The purpose of this paper is to study this issue in Noshiro City, Akita Prefecture (Japan), with a particular focus on the motivation of the younger generation to visit the area.
    Noshiro City is promoting itself as a 'basketball town' and is renowned for its high school basketball team, which was once nationally famous and is said to have inspired the manga Slam Dunk. Currently, Noshiro plans to create chocolate souvenirs and is also focusing on tourism. Therefore, this paper examines university students' willingness to visit Noshiro and their preferences for souvenirs (particularly chocolate), based on a questionnaire survey.
    The results indicate that women are more motivated to visit Noshiro than men, that knowledge about Noshiro and prior visits do not directly lead to increased tourism motivation, and that an interest in basketball correlates with a higher motivation to visit Noshiro. While a lack of familiarity with a place does not encourage visitation, being overly familiar with it also does not enhance the willingness to visit. It can be said that 'awareness without over-familiarity' is necessary to stimulate tourism interest. Additionally, differences in the demand for chocolate souvenirs between men and women were observed, providing intriguing insights not only for souvenir development but also for understanding the relationship between taste preferences and gender.

  • Orality, Literacy and Audiovisual Litany

    Memoirs of Faculty of Education and Human Studies Akita University ( Faculty of Education and Human Studies, Akita University )  77   2022.03

    Research paper (university bulletin, research institution)   Single author

    The purpose of this article is to reconsider Walter Ong's famous concepts of `orality / literacy' and Jonathan Stern's influential critique of `the audiovisual litany'. In his critique of `the audiovisual litany' Stern condemns the Ong's concepts, especially the concept of `orality' for having roots deep `in the Christian spiritualist tradition' and proposes the study of communication `without a psychosocial, developmental concept such as orality'.
    This article considers Stern's criticism through comparing `the audiovisual litany' with the concept of `gender', especially its social constructionist concept, both of which contain criticism of naturalistic understandings of body, in that this comparison elucidates the significance and problems of Stern's critique of `the audiovisual litany' and his proposition of `without orality'. This article argues that the proposition of `without orality' is one-sided, because the concept of orality can be conceived in relations with its opposite: literacy, if they are dualistic concepts, so the proposition of `without orality' needs to consider the positions of the concept of literacy. This article also argues that `the audiovisual litany' becomes indispensable framework for scrutinizing historically `the unacknowledged weight of a two-thousand-year-old Christian theology' on `the audiovisual litany', like the concept of gender. If the concept of gender as dualistic concepts is problematic, we need the dualistic concepts to clarify its social cultural contexts, influences and problems, and this can lead to bring us the possibilities of their alternatives. The same can be said for `the audiovisual litany'.
