Abstract

Under the conceptual framework of foreign Otherness in Japan, the article explores the media representation of a Latin American woman, Anita Alvarado. It proposes that she became a well-known character who was instrumental in the othering processes of foreign identities in Japan. Originally from Chile, Alvarado moved to Japan and became involved in a scandalous fraud committed by her husband. Since then, Japanese media have produced content that continue reminding audiences of the incident, while simultaneously creating an atmosphere of suspicion around her. Based on a content analysis and a textual analysis of written news, the article argues that media references to Alvarado nourish the Japanese structure of othering.
