“…El problema ainu desapareció por completo de la esfera pública, hasta el punto de que era tabú para los medios de comunicación la simple mención de los ainu a principios de los años 60 (Lie, 2001). Esta tendencia a reafirmar el ideal de una nación homogénea continuará ganando adeptos hasta la llegada, con la apertura económica de Japón a occidente en la década de los 60, de los ordenadores -que serían una gran ayuda para los estudios estadísticos-y de la biología molecular que desterrarían, por fin, la idea de que los ainu eran caucásicos (Fukasawa, 1998), y confirmarían que se trataba de un pueblo indígena del archipiélago (Low, 2012).…”

This paper will analyse the historical evolution of populations in both, the island of Hokkaido and the Okinawan area, with the aim of gaining a better understanding of the relationship between present-day Okinawan and Ainu populations and their prehistoric and protohistoric ancestors. Additionally, it aims to explore the connection of these ancestors to the cultural sphere of Yamato. In this work, an analysis of the historical evolution of populations in both northern Aomori and Hokkaido Island, as well as the Okinawan region, will be conducted. Various sources of information will be utilized, including archaeological remains, textual sources, and ethnoanthropological studies, aiming to a better understanding of the relationship between present-day Okinawan and Ainu populations and their pre- and protohistoric ancestors, as well as of their connection with the cultural sphere of Yamato, taking into account the specific issues of both areas. The peripheral position of both territories in relation to the proto-state of Yamato will be crucial in comprehending the historical development of the two regions, and it will be an important factor that has influenced the perception of Okinawan and Ainu cultures throughout history, as well as the diverse historiographical interpretations of both. En este trabajo se realizará un análisis de la evolución histórica de las poblaciones tanto de la isla de Hokkaidō como del ámbito okinawense. Para ello, se acudirá a distintas fuentes de información, como restos arqueológicos, fuentes textuales y estudios etnoantropológicos, gracias a los cuales se puede entender un poco mejor la relación entre las poblaciones actuales okinawense y ainu y sus ancestros pre y protohistóricos, así como la relación de éstos últimos con el ámbito cultural de Yamato, teniendo en cuenta las problemáticas concretas de ambos ámbitos. La posición periférica de ambos territorios con respecto al protoestado de Yamato será clave para comprender el devenir histórico de los dos, y será un factor importante que ha afectado a lo largo de la historia a la percepción de las culturas okinawense y ainu, así como a las diversas interpretaciones historiográficas de ambas.

This article argues that the establishment of anatomo-power in China preceded and set the foundation for biopower. Anatomo-power is disciplinary power over live bodies in the military, schools, and hospitals, but also the power of the medical profession over dead bodies to investigate pathology through dissection. At the turn of the twentieth century, Chinese conceptions of political anatomy were used to advocate anatomical knowledge, and an anatomy law in 1913 made routinized dissection possible. Chinese society began to be transformed as old taboos were broken, and thousands of new terms allowed the scientific worldview to take root among professionals and the public. Anatomical researchers addressed both microscopic pathology to cure individuals and macroscopic questions that grouped individuals into a population to be managed, or that sought data to tell new narratives about the origins and future of humanity—a new political anatomy based on the practice of human dissection.
