内容記述 | This working paper describes preliminary autoethnographic research on car camping, aleisure activity enjoying contemporary popularity in Japan. As an academic topic, there seems to be nothing available in English nor in Japanese on the topic at the time of this writing. Therefore, this essay is a preamble to a more extensive project that, as many anthropological projects do, emerged from everyday life and reflections thereon. My practice of car camping evolves from practical experience over the course of an ongoing research project on Pokémon decorated utility hole covers (Pokéfuta, see Occhi 2023) located in various tourist facilities across Japan. The necessity of travelling over distance to places not always easily reached by public transportation combined with the ongoing concerns brought by COVID-19 virus and a tight budget have encouraged me to join the ranks of Japanese automobile drivers who use their car as a sort of second home on the road. As I began to take this practice more seriously as a research topic in itself, I investigate media representations of and by these car campers who portrayed themselves as enjoying individualistic leisure in an era where tent camping has also enjoyed renewed popularity. Popular accounts of fulltime and occasional campers abound in media that will be analyzed later. However, it is not enough to say that car camping is simply a carefree and cost saving way to conduct domestic travel. The practical necessity for creation of a camp-ready car as a personal disaster safety plan brings further understanding of what would otherwise be considered a leisure boom activity. This working paper describes my current state of understanding in this ongoing project of car camping based on four years’ practice and inquiry. |
