Abstract

This article systematizes the characteristics of Japanese writing in order to provide arguments in favor of the thesis that Japanese writing is located at the antipodes: not only because of the geographical position of the country, but also because of its characteristics of exacerbated, superlative differences. It differs even from other languages with writing systems other than the Latin alphabet. Knowing such characteristics is essential for a problematization of language teaching and literatura translation practices from a situated perspective of differences and of «the other».
