This paper approaches the idea of the Japanese “Workholic” as an idea centered on such mechanisms as “satisfaction”. An old criticism of the “Workholic” is based on the suppression of the individual by the company, i. e. a passive self which is strongly dependent on a company. However, the mechanism which brings about overwork voluntarily cannot be sufficiently explained by these approaches alone. Mbreover, there are problems whih emphasizing the importance of the individual. My approach pays attention to the self not in the schema of “individual vs company” but in that of the company as a field where the self is emerged. This approach aims to explain the mechanism that the pursuit of the satisfaction lead to alienation, anomie, overwork, and over-conformity.

The relationship between descriptions which sociology makes and the value judgment of the sociologist in making such descriptions has long been recognized as a serious problem for sociology. Sociologists traditionally have struggled to exclude this judgment from description, or more recently, insist that such judgment should be included in description. In this paper, I suggest that such a dichotomy based on inclusion versus exclusion is predicated on the on the systematic neglect of at least one sort of social phenomenon which sociology can/should describe in its own right.

A conception of ‘technological order’ is proposed to understand the interactions between informational technology and ‘network’ like industrial organizations, which would lead to the accumulation of technology and capital in the ‘informational capitalism. ’ This new form of capitalism has been characterized by Manuel Castells as “the production of knowledge by knowledge. ” By means of the investigation of the recent literatures on the economics of innovation and industrial organization, in addition to empirical research concerning the technological development and socio-economic changes in biotechnology, it is postulated that ‘configurational’ ontogeny of the technology and the tight protection of intellectural property have played an important role in affording the inter-firm collaborations in R & D, hence creating a ‘technological order’ in which technical knowledge is exchanged, combined, and accumulated.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the process of ‘the nationalization of women’ in prewar Japan. Based on poststructuralist gender theory, this process is identified with the gendering of ‘nation’ by the nation state and it entailed the creation of an understanding of the relationship between men and women as ‘nation’. Home economics in higher education had a certain role in this process. The conclusion here is that the process of the nationalization of women was not a simple matter but rather involved mediation by political considerations.

Teiji Furuhashi revealed his HIV-positive status to his friends by "the letter" in October, 1992. This revelation started grass-roots movement in Kyoto, Japan. This paper investigates why though he let only about 20 friends know his HIV-positive status the letter sparked movements such as those associated with multiple identities that were not limited to the HIV/AIDS. In what way is the rhetoric of of Furuhashi's counter claim making unique? This paper suggests that Furuhashi's counter claiming had such an impact because it used a motif that problematized not only HIV/AIDS or male homosexuality and a rhetoric based on comradeship.<br>Furthermore, rather than identifying himself as a gay male homosexual, he identified himself as an artist. Therefore, this allowed movement participants to conflate intimate internal personal relationships and make rhetorical links among various sexual/gender identities.

Abortion is at the heart of "sexual politics" including a serious struggle between feminists and consevative anti-abortionists. The aim of this paper is to reconsider the significance and limitations of feminists' vindication of women's right to abortion and reproductive freedom argumentation. After surveying abortion's situation generally and defining the meaning of reproductive freedom, the paper discusses the relation of women's freedom and selective abortion and concludes that women's rights and handicapped's rights are not contradictive.

The purpose of this paper is to sociologically examine the caring culture in free schools. In previous studies, free schools have been recognized as self-help groups for school non-attendees to reconstruct their negative self-narrative to an active one, a place where they can change the meaning of school refusal. Free school supporters are seen as significant others who help non-attendees in realizing these changes. But in fact the supporters do not just engage in such a narrative therapeutic care, but also conduct passing-care that avoids narrative construction. This paper suggests that these contrastive approaches to care are achieved by the cultural factor of the secret and the factor can cause the group to hold other people than school non-attendees.

A questionnaire survey and analysis was conducted for 133 women's college students to clarify the current Japanese young generation's acceptability towards foreign people. The Social Distance Scale was made and used In the survey. As a result, young Japanese are willing to accept foreigners according to their social situation (e.g. teacher-student relationship) or their interest in a progressive society, and according not to nationality, race and physical appearance. However, those who tend to show their conservativeness still remain pro-Western.

This paper examines the function of kin relationship, and in particular, where they relate to self-help activities progressing in poor urban areas of Manila. The residents utilize extended kin relationship in their daily lives, especially when involving themselves in the distribution of social resources which have been brought about through self-help activities. The people who use their kinship ties effectively can achieve a more favorable or higher social status for themselves and their kin groups. Therefore this paper also examines the social meaning of self-help activities as the origin of the societal heirarchy of power and rather than material wealth or resources.

This paper explores the concept of "ethnic contact" used by a Japanese sociologist Eizo Koyama (1899–1983) to analyze three types of travel/displacement: immigration, tourism and fieldwork. Since the early 20<sup>th</sup> century, many fieldworkers had begun to authorize their own inter-cultural practices in contrast to other ones by tourists and immigrants, etc. But Koyama claimed that tourism involved the meaning of fieldwork as well as one of leisure activity. Why is it? By reconsidering his claim under the Japanese tourism policy in the 1930–<br>40s, I argue that it reflected the process in which tourists were perceived as agency mediating between different cultures while ethnic contact became an efficient medium for (re-)presenting national self-image. I also argue that his population policy attempted empire building through the media of contact between Japanese immigrants and natives in the colonies.

The aim of this paper is to analyze face-to-face interactions between members of sexual minorities and members from the sexual majority (heterosexuals) and to examine the possibilities of a better understanding between the two. To accomplish this, two types of qualitative research were conducted. The first consisted of interviews with LGBs, and the second took the form of participatory field-work in a self-help group, where both sexual minorities and heterosexuals were members. It was found that heterosexuals became a sexual minority at the club while sexual minorities became a majority. Heterosexuals in the club expressed their feelings about difficulties in Japan, which melts the line between minorities and the majority. This transposition of sexualities introduced heterosexuals to the pseudo-experience of being members of a minority and, at the same time, the club gave sexual minorities the chance to imagine friendly relations with heterosexuals near them but outside the group.

The purpose of this paper is to describe the struggles in the physical examination for conscription between draft dodgers and Japanese army surgeons. The draft dodgers tried to escape from conscription by asserting that they were not sufficiently fit to be a solder. They injured themselves or told false stories about their health situation. The army surgeons tried to recognize draft dodgers. Examination of the documents written by the doctors shows that it was not easy to recognize draft dodgers and surgeons had to face many problems. This suggests that there would have been a number of draft dodgers who in escaping conscription and that the government could not completely control people in Japan.

In this paper I have made a comparative research of the social background and trends that support Japan-South Korea student's friendship. It turns out that both national groups were generally satisfied with their friendship although there was a difference in the process of mingling with their friends. In case of associating with friends, Japanese students tended to value the feeling side, while South Korea students tended to value their attributes and their shrewdness. In the process of forming friends, analysis showed that both national groups were influenced by their degree of school adjustment and their quality of family life, while school achievement (Japanese students) and an item that asked about Internet friends (South Korean students) had a passive effect.

Recently the role of "media frames" in the process of making news has become a focus of attention. According to Gitlin (1980), <i>media frames are persistent patterns of cognition, interpretation, and presentation, of selection, emphasis, and exclusion</i>. It is important for us as audience to recognize not only that the news is not "<i>a mirror of society</i>" but also that the news is made through media frames. Besides, we must examine what the media frames are. In this paper, I intend to define and characterize the nature and function of media frames by analyzing the news on "All Five Walks" in the Summer High School Baseball Tournament in 1992.

In 1977, Malcom Spector and John I. Kitsuse proposed for the study of the social problems focus on the activities of participants, which is well-known as “claims-making activities”. They also contended that social problems are to be conceived of as a topic for the sociological study in themselves. Although the focus on the activities is a significant proposal, with respect of the latter point, however, their proposal taken literally tends to deflecting attention from social problems as such. My contention is that what is lacking and what is needed is some clear notion of the relation between studying the activities of participants and the study of social problems as such. In addition, I tentatively sketch one possible notion of such relations.

The purpose of this paper is to elucidate one aspect of the scholastic socialization. This is the socialization through which Kindergartners are oriented to the methodology of 'A and Bs attending to the same thing' as a scholastic skill. This paper demonstrates that two respective designs of two interaction formats, 'adjacency pair' and 'adjacency triple', are used to cohort the kindergartners, make the teacher's and kindergartners' states facing each other, and then, achieve the methodology of 'A and Bs attending to the same thing'. These procedures are describable as one aspect of the scholastic socialization that orients kindergartners to a skill mainly required in schools.

By concentrating on the process of making something by hand, this paper considers what kind of value handmade "charm-goods" had for girls in Japan's 1980s boom of "fortune-telling & charm." It has been said that "charm-goods" in the 1980s "magic-religious popular culture" gave girls their own sense of identity with a world-view that was worthy of them, but with "charm-goods" the fact that they were made by hand has been regarded as being important. This second element seems to have demanded from girls a more active commitment to "fortune-telling and charm." Through analyzing the articles of "My Birthday," which is well known as a representative "fortune-telling & charm" magazine for girls, I clarify that "charm-goods" and their being made by hand helped girls to get involved in and improve their real-life communication skills.

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.

It seems that social scientists somehow understand their papers despite the fact that it is impossible to decide “clear” relation between them and what is called methodological criteria. Accordingly, in this paper, theory is addressed not as something to be improved, but as phenomena embedded in our work of writing and reading within those situations where they are done. Two features -‘sign reading practice’ and ‘impression of rationality’- are examined as ways to achieve making sense of [purported] SCIENCE. It is concluded that theorizing activities are never isolated from our everyday work.

This paper considers differentiated scientific disciplines using the concept of functional differentiation. According to social systems theory, society has evolved to a state in which it consists of a variety of large communication systems that can be identified by the functions they perform. The goal of this paper is to show that science is structured in the same way. Modern science is characterized by functional differentiation.
