This paper analyses body consciousness on the part of swimming instructors regarding with respect to intellectual disabled persons. It focuses largely on two examples. In the first example, the intellectually disabled person has difficulty with utterance, and the second, fragmentary utterance is possible. Examination of these examples reveals that the body of the intellectually disabled person is the “place” that forms the social relationship with the swimming instructor. In conclusion, I point out the importance of considering the working of the micro-social order that results from the awareness of the instructors. Therefore, “the problem of the disabled” is the social reality that is constructed by the awareness of the able bodied person.

In sociology, many studies have pointed out that the combination of marriage with love had not been established until the modern era. The purpose of this paper focusing solely on Japan is to clarify the essence of the transformation of love that is conjectured from the fact that the Japanese word “ren-ai” means approximately the same thing as the English “love” or the French word amour. Furthermore, ren-ai has been prominent use in Japan since the Meiji period. Through an analysis of ‘love, ’ I want to provide and to show the grounds for an argument that understanding historical change in a specific mode of communication is one way to make clear endemic elements of “modernity. ”

This paper investigates how the arrangement of participants' bodies, talks and activities in particular time and space organize their interactions. The empirical research was done by using videotapes of dispatchers receiving emergency calls in a 119 dispatch center. While one dispatcher (call taker) replies to an emergency call, he and his colleague are able to silently interact with each other. This shows that their actions construct a type of back region and the call taker is embedded within two ‘participation frameworks’: one with the caller, and the other with his colleague.This analysis shows that these concepts, “region” and “participation framework”, proposed by Erving Goffman, apply to actual settings and that they are organized by the arrangement of the participants' bodies, talks and activities.

Today there are large number of studies concering the problems of familial caregivers. However, little attention has been given to the process by which the caregivers coping strategy changes in a difficult situation. In order to understand caregiver's experiences, this paper tries to focus on the changing process of caregivers “routinization strategy”. The routinization strategy is divided into two ways: one is “drawing a line between caregiving tasks and non caregiving works”, the other is “shortcutting in interaction with the care recipient”. After an examination based on interviews with familial caregivers, we found that the increasing needs of caregiving tasks would lead caregivers to the following two problematic outcomes: first, they cannot “draw lines, second, it is difficult for them to gain the meaning from continuing to do caregiving. We further found that these two outcomes would lead caregivers to an ever more troubled situation.

“Legitimacy” is one of the most often discussed concepts in Sociology. But the cognitive meaning of the concept is far from clear. This paper, first, points out “Selectivity from Complexity”, that is, contingency of affairs, as one of the logical requisites for taking “legitimacy” of a certain affair into question. The lack of cognition of this “contingency (selectivity) ” disables us from problematizing “Legitimacy”. Next, sociological descriptions are classified into two types: on the one hand, the contingency is introduced from the viewpoint of the observed (actors in the world as sociological objects), on the other, from that of the observer (sociologists themselves). Berger & Luckmann's literature, one example of latter type, is very “cosmological”. Bourdieu's belongs to the latter type also, but it utilizes “class”-category, one of the ‘powerful’ format for differentiating the actors, so it looks more plausible.

This paper attempts to clarify the significance of Lumann's system theory in a case of bureaucratic pathology. Luhmann [1964] pointed out the functions of informal behavioral expectations in formal organizations. Applying this idea to Japanese bureaucracy, it is demonstrated that the over evaluation of thoughtfulness, “Takt, ” is one of the most important factors accounting for contemporary problems. Using more recent works, this paper examines Luhmann's system theory as a frame for analysis of bureaucracy.

This article compares shopping streets with a “mall-like” space from the viewpoint of spatial form and its social effects. It argues for the unique nature of “real” shopping streets, particularly their everyday creativity, which is embedded in their physical structure. Shopping streets are basically composed of two different spatial parts: “streets” and “shops.” Within shopping streets, these come into contact with each other. In effect, the world of the shopping street becomes a kind of contact zone, where different rules and orders meet, oppose, negotiate, and are forced to adapt. To make such zones both dynamic and capable of reproducing themselves, shopping streets need to be under the “care” of several agents. This process is very complex, costly, and sometimes noisy, but the “care” caused by this “noise” makes shopping streets sustainable spaces of everyday diversity.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the terms and conditions for the formation of the order of national rituals in pre-war Japan, in particular, Shinto shrine rituals. First, the study outlines the Ministry of Home Affairs' process, as part of its administration of Shinto shrines, of designating shrines as places for national rituals. Next, the Ministry of Home Affairs' Bureau of Shrines' unification of the “Procedures for Shrine Ritual Observance” and the government and the public's formation of the genre of shrine ritual procedural manuals are described. Books detailing “Procedures for Shrine Ritual Observance” were used as manuals for training sessions and ritual instructional sessions for members of the clergy. These resulted in the standardization of the evaluation of the participants in these rituals. Finally, this paper shows how, after the 1930s, under these terms and conditions, “indiscretions” in shrine rituals became increasingly problematic.

When homeless live in the urban space, they often subvert the formal functions of that urban space. If their use disturbs the formal functions of the urban space, attempts to control and restrict their usage appear. At the same time, the actual working of spatial control depends on the responses of the homeless. This paper takes as an example of this pattern, four areas in a certain city (City A) and examines the relationships between the life of the homeless and spatial control in each area of the case study. It was found that (1) the content, strength, and agent of control differed in each area; (2) that the homeless try to avoid spatial control in various ways and continue their life; (3) ultimately, the homeless cannot be entirely free from spatial control.

The purpose of this paper is to explore how gender meaning was structured and changed between a husband and a wife in Japan in the late 1950s through an analysis of the private letters they exchanged with one another. Some studies have focused on the process of structuring gender between intimate couples through the use of interviews. However, these studies faced difficulties when it came to their analysis of real interactions because the interviewees' statements might have been influenced by the interview itself. In this paper, the M-GTA method, introduced by Yasuhito Kinoshita, was chosen to analyze one interaction. Twenty concepts were used to indicate the process of structuring and change of the meaning of gender in the interaction in one intimate relationship.

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.

This article aims to analyze the transformation of what may be termed the politics of framing the concept of the “migrant-refugee.” The present paper examines the manner in which migrants and refugees are classified by the French administration and perceived by French society in the midst of the European “migrant-refugee crisis.” Three observations are made: (1) the differentiation between legitimate “refugees” and illegal “migrants”; (2) the justification of the exclusion of the latter in the name of guaranteeing protection for the former; and (3) the reconfiguration of the hierarchy of categories in the asylum system. These observations allow us to note several arguments contending that priority must be accorded to the individual rather than to the group and that these are favors granted rather than rights claimed; further, such logic fragments and places individuals in similar situations within a hierarchy. The combination of the aforementioned aspects poses a major challenge to the building of a collaborative and cohesive solidarity movement.

In the field of cultural studies, I have been tackling the problem of Americanism in East Asia. My focus is on the everyday cultural reception of “America” among the people of East Asia since the end of the Second World War. I have been reviewing the relationship with America built up especially during the period of the Cold War from a comprehensive regional perspective, taking into account the level of people's everyday consciousness and culture along with the military and politico-economic aspects. Despite the evident importance of research on such a wide-ranging and complex phenomenon, hardly any attempt has been made until very recently to study the significance of “America” in a region-wide context. The new approach we need relates to the field of post-colonial studies in East Asia. The postwar dominance of America in East Asia is, in a certain sense, a reconstruction of the Japanese imperial order that existed until the end of the war. It is essential that the mediating role of “America” be considered in investigations of the further postwar development of colonial consciousness and practice in Asia under the Cold War order.

Although family norms have been one of the most important concepts for the sociological studies of family, it has rarely been discussed explicitly: what is it? how does it work? and how can we approach it? This paper examines the concept of family norms itself and try to present the different perspective from “the standard theory of the family” and its critics. This perspective, drawing on some ideas from ethnomethodology and conversation analysis, relocates family norms in the interaction settings and focuses on the procedure by which the participants use a variety of family norms as interpretive resources to make social reality accountable.

This paper examines whether residents’ support for their local professional sports teams has an impact on their community consciousness. We focus on two types of consciousness. One is place attachment to the regional community, and the other is expanded ego, which represents one’s identity with the locality and the instinct for self-preservation from those beyond the bounds of the community. We conducted a social survey of residents (N=1000) of northwestern Chiba in 2018. Through multivariate analysis, we found that fans are likely to have a stronger attachment and ego than non-fans. This result implies that supporting local teams has a possible impact on the relationship between residents and the regional community.

The term/concept of neoliberalism has perhaps been one of the most popular and continuously used terms/concepts in critical sociology, economics, politics, geography, gender theory, etc. over the past few decades. While examining the ambiguity and inflexibility of this concept in the history of economics and sociology with Marxism at its core, Shinichiro Inaba has extolled the concept of neoliberalism as a “Brocken spectre.” In this paper, while continuing Inaba’s problem-setting, we will address the question of how the use of the concept of “neoliberalism” is justified, and what people are doing by using the concept. One task will be to detect its social and sociological functions rather than to show the expiration of neoliberalism as an explanatory concept.

In this paper, we examine the motivation of Chinese foster parents for adopting the “Japanese war orphans left in China” as well as the reality of their lives and their feelings toward these orphans. The framework of the Life-Story methodology is employed in the present investigation. The term “Japanese war orphans left in China” refers to the Japanese children left behind in China as orphans by their parents repatriating to Japan in the aftermath of World War II. Some survived because they were adopted and reared by Chinese foster parents. Almost 90% of these orphans have returned and settled in Japan. In contemporary Japan, however, few people recognize the existence of the Chinese foster parents. The present investigation sheds light on the following aspects concerning these parents: why did they help the children belonging to their enemy country, what are their every-day lives, and what do they feel when they sent the orphans back to Japan.

In this paper I address education in Northern Ireland a country marked conflict between segregated Protestant and Catholic communities. Although the educational system has been separate for the two communities, some new movements for reconciliation have appeared. What I focus on mainly is the Education for Mutual Understanding (EMU) and ‘integrated schools’. The main purpose of this paper is to consider these new efforts in the context of ‘multicultural education’. First, I provide an historical outline of education and schools in Northern Ireland. Second, I describe and analyse the tow movements. By examining these experiments, we gain a fresh perspective on new movements for multicultural education.

This paper aims to demonstrate the importance of using both the idea of membership categorization device (MCD) and findings of sequential organization at the same time in order to analyze interaction. First, it is shown that MCD is identified with findings of logico-grammatical analysis. Second, it is shown that MCD is in fact rejected by one of the methodological constraints laid by E. Schegloff, “The problem of procedural consequence”. Third, it is maintained that this rejection leads to the possibility that we cannot fully explicate members' description because it underestimates the relevance of MCD in each setting. Finally, an alternative is proposed: using both MCD and findings of sequential organization at the same time.
