Résumé

RÉSUMÉ Le système japonais de santé mentale, marqué par l’isolement et la contention, a été remis en question par le Tōjisha‐Kenkyū, une pratique de recherche dirigée par les pairs, initiée en 2001 par des membres de l’Urakawa Bethel House. S’inspirant des mouvements pour les droits des personnes handicapées et d’entraide en matière d’addiction, il traite l’injustice herméneutique en créant un langage partagé pour les expériences des minorités. Les personnes autistes au Japon sont également confrontées à des injustices épistémiques dues à des biais qui interprètent à tort l’autisme comme des déficits individuels. L’auteur, diagnostiqué autiste à l’âge adulte, a utilisé le Tōjisha‐Kenkyū pour redéfinir l’autisme sur la base du modèle social du handicap, en favorisant l’accessibilité et la compréhension. En 2011, l’auteur a fondé un groupe de Tōjisha‐Kenkyū destiné aux personnes neurodivergentes, promouvant des récits diversifiés et favorisant des collaborations avec la médecine et la technologie. Malgré ces contributions, les injustices testimoniales et le tokénisme persistent dans le milieu universitaire japonais. Pour y remédier, l’Inclusive Academia Project favorise l’équité par l’apprentissage mutuel et la solidarité. En définitive, le Tōjisha‐Kenkyū sert de pont entre les communautés minoritaires et le milieu universitaire, contribuant à une société plus inclusive et davantage orientée vers la justice.

ABSTRACT The Japanese mental health system, marked by isolation and restraint, has been challenged by Tōjisha‐Kenkyū, a peer‐led research practice initiated in 2001 by Urakawa Bethel House members. Drawing from disability rights and addiction self‐help movements, it addresses hermeneutical injustice by creating shared language for minority experiences. Autistics in Japan also face epistemic injustices due to biases that misinterpret autism as individual deficits. The author, diagnosed with autism in adulthood, used Tōjisha‐Kenkyū to redefine autism based on the social model of disability, fostering accessibility and understanding. In 2011, the author founded a Tōjisha‐Kenkyū group for neurodivergents, promoting diverse narratives and driving collaborations with medicine and technology. Despite contributions, testimonial injustices and tokenism persist in Japanese academia. To counter this, the Inclusive Academia Project fosters equity through mutual learning and solidarity. Ultimately, Tōjisha‐Kenkyū serves as a bridge between minority communities and academia, contributing to a more inclusive and justice‐oriented society.
