1. 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.

société japonaise, même si envisager sérieusement un
projet de doctorat en géographie avec le Japon pour terrain
était délicat, a fortiori si le laboratoire de rattachement en France n’est pas spécialisé dans les études
japonaises.
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).

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. Cet

par la répartition inégale des processus de dévitalisation

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.

Excursion annuelle du laboratoire
à l’automne 2008 à Hakone
J’ai longtemps rêvé de vivre au pays des 7 samouraïs. 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.
