In psychotherapy of “gender identity disorder” in Japan, psychiatrists assess the “sex of mind” of their clienteles. In this process, medicine first treats the invisible “sex of mind” as more essential than the visible sexed body, then as visible in the clientele's looking, behaviors, talks etc. The aim of this article is to examine how medicine treats the sex category according to this paradoxical logic, using the review of medical discourses and scripts based on interviews of “gender identity disorder” clientele. Through this process of description of the medical practice, it is showing how, by seeing the clientele's display as trans-situational clues of the “sex of mind”, this practice may be actually seeing very “sex of mind”.

Organic agriculture is farming without reliance on pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Therefore, it inherently requires the handwork of farmers and has therefore been considered as time-consuming and labor intensive. We must, however, remember that farmers are not unwilling to engage in organic farming. Organic agriculture occasionally fascinates them. This paper focuses on an organic farm in the Narita-Sanrizuka area, <i>Jyunkan-Nohjyo</i> (The Recycle-Based Farm) established by Hidemasa Koizumi and his wife, local farmers. By analyzing his documents and his narrative about the farm it becomes clear that organic agriculture is a movement by the farmer to restore his power to observe nature and to regain the pleasure that comes from making direct, positive contact with nature.

Why does a person get contact with mass media? Why does he take part in “mass communication process”? In this paper, I answer this primitive question by referring to the apparatus with which an audience can make “subject” of himself. “Mass communication process” always includes this apparatus, which can involve so many people in this process so deeply. I examine this hypothesis in two ways. First, I analyse some media frames of the news on foreigners in Japan in 1980's. Second, I compare “mass communication process” with some cases of direct interpersonal process and try to extract the essence of “mass communication process” itself.

This article critically enquires into prevailing discourses on the rise of nationalism among the youth in Japan and proposes a sociological approach to an understanding of the situation involving them. Given the lack of sociological studies on this subject, empirical research is essential in order to understand the situation regarding youth and nationalism in present-day Japan. I have had valuable experiences of reflecting on the issue with students in university courses, who themselves conducted social research on the subject. The article reports two of such efforts. One is an attempt to look into the nature of problems of mass media in the creation and dissemination of discourses on the rise of nationalism. The other identified social processes that could generate nationalism such as those involved in the invention of the seemingly patriotic cheering style among soccer supporters. The article concludes with theoretical considerations, in which market-generated nationalism is contrasted with state-initiated nationalism.

The purpose of this paper is to discuss how a couple that got married after a pregnancy gives meaning to their marriage and interprets it. After analyzing their discourese, I realized that the relation between the pregnancy(and the raising of child) and the marriage is never explicitly mentioned. This is a strategy that allows the couple to talk about their marriage without rhetoric hides the contradictions inherent to their marriage and enables them to give it the same meanings as a &lsquo;love-marriage&rsquo;. Then it becomes acceptable.

This paper tries to demonstrate that relativism, scepticism, and anti-realism that the Sociology of (Scientific) Knowledge inevitably assumes are logically difficult and not useful for empirical investigations. First, by way of Reductio ad absurdum, the Reflexive Programme is examined. Next, a relativist-sceptist orientation is grasped in the empirical studies of Sociology of Scientific Knowledge. This orientation is criticized from the standpoint of ethnomethodological studies of scientific work. A Praxiology of knowledge is proposed.

The concept of “post-materialistic” values has been, either positively or negatively, adopted by scholars who study “new social movements”. Undoubtedly, this implies that the concept has become an essential vehicle to analyze the sense of values and attitude in new social movements. The primary object of this paper is to summarize how this concept, as a conceptual instrument, has made a great impact on the process of analyzing social movements and “new politics”. But I disagree to apply the concept, as Ingelhart's definition remainds intact, to comprehend the meaning of new social movements. In this paper I wish to propose the new interpretation of “post-materialistic” value while removing a nagative influence of the Haslovian linear theory on Ingelhart's concept.

The purpose of this paper is to clarify the logic behind the historic preservation movements in Daegu, Korea. There are many Japanese houses in Daegu that were built in the era of Japanese occupation. This paper describes the logic behind a NGO in Daegu, Korea (CSES: Citizen's Solidarity for Ecological Street) that seeks to preserve these houses. The CSES has organized citizen's fieldwork to uncover "lived urban histories" in Daegu. They have found many Japanese houses. CSES has placed them in context not as part of the Colonial legacy but as part of historic resources. This study takes the historic preservation movement in the context of community formation. The finding is as follows. CSES contextualizes "histories" of the community into life experiences of local residents for community formation.

The paper elaborates risk society theory in terms of the hazards caused by environmental chemicals as well as the stress generated by individualization, utilizing recent findings provided by biosocial science, particularly epigenetic mechanisms in the developmental stage. Epigenetics explains that vital phenomena can be affected by environmental chemical contaminants and the psychosocial stresses of individualization that are transmitted to the next generation without any change in the base sequence. The paper tries to unify these two kinds of risk factors into an epigenetic system in which exposed fetuses and infants might have physical and mental disorders in later life. This biosocial perspective incorporates the reproductive mechanisms of risk over generations into risk society theory.

This paper analyses the examination system in socialist countries, in order to study the system of “school report” and “recommendation” from the point of view of sociology. In those areas, different from western countries, university admittion is determined sore by work experience, records in high school, and character grading through school reports or recommendation than by results of an examination of single round. Aided by historical and comparative data, t his paper shows that this type of examination system has relation to an extention of controlling power of State.

This paper attempts to model the objective reporting definition by analyzing its elements in Japanese journalism study in order to consider various discourses within these definitions. Seven elements were extracted: (A) reporting without subjectivity, (B) fair and neutral reporting, (C) reporting of a fact, (D) showing a news source, (E) using a byline, (F) carrying opposite opinions, and (G) discriminating between news and editorials clearly. A combination of these elements constitutes a definition model.In conclusion, seven elements constituting the objective reporting definition logically result in one hundred-five kinds of definition models. That is the reason why so many discourses arise within objective reporting and discussions sometimes go amiss.

This paper analyzes how adoptees manage their identity with respect to their biological parents. Previous studies in Japan based on Erik Erikson's psychology of the self theory focus primarily on “telling the truth” by adoptive parents. These studies, however, have not analyzed a diversity of identity management strategies not have they focused much attention on socio-cultural factors. To compensate for this lack, this paper 1) focuses on adoptees experience post “telling” and 2) examines the interaction between self and others such as adoptive and birth parents. Through intensive interviews of ten adoptees, several cases imply that we should reconsider the trend to uniting a child's biological origins and identity.

In this paper, I investigate “job autonomy,” defined as the extent to which employees exercise discretion in their work, and discuss the impact of job autonomy on women's job continuation at the stage of childbirth and childcare. I found out that highly-educated women or women with clerical jobs enjoy job autonomy. If women workers, especially highly-educated women have job autonomy, they can manage their own schedule more easily. This leads to job continuation at the stage of childbirth. Further, this study also shows that length of working hours does not necessarily determine job continuation.

This article examines the politics of the measurement of children's bodies. We usually think a priori that a measurement of a body and its measuring scale are objectively transparent and colorless things; and moreover, the measuring tools are deduced from an anatomically physical structure. However, considering the birth of a measurement scheme for bodies, we can easily find an obvious politically intention within the criteria of the measurement. That is, the regard of the measurement leads to the invention of a mean value for the collective body and making up a regulable substance.

This article clarifies the relationships between three academic disciplines through a text mining analysis of journals of sociology, the sociology of education, and pedagogy. Through analyses of word frequency and the extent of the similarity among these journals, results reveal that these three disciplines are different in complicated and multi-dimensional ways in terms of their viewpoints and concepts. This article proposes the concept of content-related differentiation for these disciplines.

Semiology and Speech Act Theory belong to different theoretical traditions. However, in order to understand human beings who can use language, both types of theories are required. In other words, both theories must be unified into a “theory of communication”.To solve this problem, the anther: (1)examines Luhmann's concept of Medium/Form-relationship, and (2)reconstructs semiology in terms of a series of these relationships.In the conclusion, the anther (3) combines these considerations with the conception of pragmatics.

This paper attempts to clarify the growing process of the dynamic totality of K. Mannheim's social theory, and further, to show the effectiveness of his conception of the completed form of this totality, the “Principia Media”, employed in the explanation of social planning and the formation of human character. The term “principia media” has various meanings; among others, the most important one is that of mediating between the abstract (interpretation) and the concrete(practice).It will be showed that he tried to integrate nominalism and conservative substantialism on the epistemological level.

Symbolically expressed by the concept of flat culture, it has been a long time since the distinction between high culture/popular culture and the definition of youth culture or the youth themselves became blurred. This paper traces the process of identity formation of rock culture and "the youth" as rock listeners in Japan by clarifying the transition in narratives tracing a distinction between the inner and the outer in each Japanese rock magazine. By so doing, the paper demonstrates that the difficulty counter cultures face today is mainly derived from the difficulty in imagining the mass of the population as a unified community.

This paper considers the connection between community narrative, personal stories and recovery in a self-help group for neurosis, Seikatsu no Hakken Kai(SHK).SHK is based on Morita therapy, and SHK's community narrative states that recovery is possible when members arrive at a full and correct understanding of Morita therapy. However, not a few members who have achieved recovery by participating in SHK say that their recovery was not only brought about by Morita therapy. This indicates that sometimes the personal stories of SHK members do not conform with SHK's community narrative.By focusing on this point, this paper elucidates the somewhat complicated relationship between community narrative and personal stories and the conditions for recovery in SHK.
