New Academism is a term coined1 by mass media to describe as a social phenomenon the boom in new forms of knowledge outside existing academic frameworks, when works by Akira Asada and Shinichi Nakazawa became bestsellers in the mid-1980s; it has no strict definition. It basically referred to a trend arising alongside the importation into Japan of contemporary Western academic currents such as semiotics, structuralism, poststructuralism, and postmodernism.
It is characterized by interdisciplinary thought crossing existing academic divisions, sometimes adopting free expression departing from traditional scholarly argumentation and conventions. Journalism, therefore, rather than scholarly societies or academic journals, was its main arena. However, almost all its thinkers held university positions.
ニュー・アカデミズムとは1980年代中頃に浅田彰、中沢新一の著作がベストセラーとなり、既存のアカデミズムの枠におさまらない新しい形の知のブームが生じたことを、マスメディアが社会現象として捉えて名付けた造語1であり、厳密な定義のない用語である。基本的に、記号論や構造主義、ポスト構造主義、ポスト・モダニズムといった西欧の当時の学問の潮流の日本への輸入と並行して生じた潮流を差していた。
既存のアカデミズムの学問領域の区分けを横断する学際的な思想である点、旧来的な学問の論述方法・作法から逸脱した自由な表現方法をとる場合がある点に、特徴がある。したがって学会や学術誌よりも、ジャーナリズムを主要な活動の舞台とした。ただし論者のほぼ全ては大学に籍を置いていた。
