Abstract

This paper aims to study whether we can understand student activism through the theory of Foucault, and it will mainly depend on document analysis to accomplish this assignment, because analyzing and applying Foucault’s thoughts to the student protests in Japan is the primary task. This paper can’t give a integrate explanation for the occurring of student activism since it is too idealistic for Foucault’s theory that I am hard to imply it to the real life, though I have tried my best to find out any possibility during writing procession. However, in the term of theory, this paper successfully attempts to interpret why the student protest could exist and persist in society for a long period, and also provides some practical and beneficial advice for state government to establish relevant policies used for tackling with the emergency, which are mainly triggered by the student groups, in another term. In general, the paper owns value in the aspect of academy. Nevertheless, this essay still has these limitations. Firstly, from the aspect of materials, this essay is lack of Japaneses materials. Secondly, I have not completely understood the Foucault’s theory. Therefore, the study can look into accounting for the student activism in the field of ideology and find out a specific theory to correctly explain the student activism.
