The illusion of totality: a critical discourse analysis on the identity of Japanese bureaucrats inside and outside of the ministries

In English

Författare

Summary, in English

The collective identity is subject to permanent negotiation. Due to the lack of incentive to offer public statements, the collective identity of Japanese bureaucrats (or kanryo, 官僚) has been constructed separately inside and outside of the ministries. This paper explores how the collective identity of

kanryo has been constructed in two Japanese national newspapers as outsider discourses using structural discourse analysis. Illustrations of the constructed identity of kanryo will be also presented. Regarding the insider’s discourse, this

paper illustrates the constructed identity inside ministries based on interviews with employees at the ministries. A comparison of the two discourses and reflection on the results of my research concludes my thesis.
