Résumé
L’objectif de cet article est de dépasser les limites conceptuelles et typologiques de la littérature sur les minorités, le Japon multiculturel, et le Japon multiethnique en menant une réflexion critique quant aux mécanismes politiques, juridiques et discursifs d’exclusion et d’inclusion délimitant les normes de la subjectivité japonaise. À partir d’une analyse féministe de l’intersectionalité de la diversité situant la « race », la culture, le genre et l’hétéro-normativité comme systèmes d’oppressions qui se constituent mutuellement, nous examinerons également la littérature comparée sur la démocratie multinationale. Une fouille généalogique du passé colonial japonais, et l’étude d’un mariage multinational entre une japonaise et un Zainichi coréen nous permet de découvrir et de critiquer les contradictions juridiques et politiques des diverses facettes de la subjectivité et de l’appartenance (nation, diaspora, etc.) que le système du registre familial et la loi sur la nationalité reproduisent constamment.

Abstract
A critical reflection on the legal, political and discursive mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion delimiting the norms of Japanese subjectivity, the current article aims to push beyond the conceptual and typological limitations of the literature on Japanese minorities, multicultural Japan, and multi-ethnic citizenship. Working from a feminist intersectional analysis of diversity that understands nation, race, culture, gender and hetero-normativity as mutually constitutive systems of oppression, we look also to the comparative literature on multinational democracy as a more comprehensive approach to thinking about the complex intranational and multinational diversity constituting contemporary Japanese citizenship. Through a genealogical exploration of Japan’s colonial past, and a case study of a contemporary multinational marriage between a Japanese woman and a Zainichi Korean resident, we uncover and critically explore the juridical and political contradictions about subjectivity and belonging across multiple axes (nation, diaspora peoples, indigeneity, minorities, race, multiculturalism, gender and sexuality) that are actively reproduced and perpetuated through the Japanese family registry system and nationality law.
