The Illusion of Totality: Critical Discourse Analysis on the Identity of Japanese Bureaucrats inside and outside of the Ministries

Sanada, Kie (2012)

Abstract
The collective identity is under permanent negotiation. Due to the lack of incentive to offer public communication, the collective identity of Japanese bureaucrats; kanryo(官僚) has been constructed separately inside and outside of ministries. Firstly, I explore how the collective identity of kanryo has been constructed in two Japanese national newspapers. Also, the constructed identity of kanryo will be illustrated. Secondly, I will illustrate the constructed identity inside of the ministries. The comparison of the two discourses and the reflection on its result will conclude my thesis.
