This study is based on interviews with heterosexual women who have closefriendships with gay men. In the Japanese media's "Gay Boom" phenomenon that arosein the 1990s, gay men were represented as being the ideal partners for heterosexualwomen. While this has stimulated research and incurred various criticisms from gay andlesbian academics and activists, there has been no qualitative research of heterosexualwomen.This study is based on interviews of 14 heterosexual women who have closefriendships with gay men. The interviews were of one hour in length and consisted ofquestions such as "Where did you meet your gay friend and what kind of relationshipdo you have with them?," "What kind of relationships do you have with heterosexualwomen and men?," and "Do you have lesbian friends?" Various patterns were discoveredin the way heterosexual women got to know gay men and in the kinds of relationshipsthey formed. It also became apparent that even if the initial motivation for meeting had been out of mere curiosity, the relationships eventually developed into close friendships.

This paper considers the transitions in the "Guidelines for the diagnosis and treatmentof GID" , which was created by the Japanese Society of Psychiatry and Neurology. By analyzing the text of the guidelines, we observe that the current concept of gender has become less influential in representing a consistent identity model for society today.This is reflected in the following distinctions in the transitions of the guidelines in which there are five issues to be emphasized: First, gender identity is defined as being of multiple forms. Second, the approach to medical treatment is determined not only by an individual' s gender identity but also by his/ her life, world and value system. These factors explain the need for more diversity in medical treatment. Third, it is supposed that gender identity has coherence. Fourth, since diversity of gender is more emphasized, a patient's decision concerning treatment is more highly regarded than ever. And lastly, due to the extended scope of decision-making, the range of patients' self-responsibility for the risk is extended accordingly. It is evident from these guidelines that the concept of gender that has hitherto disciplined people has become weaker.However, this does not necessarily mean that society has become an ideal world.There are still various problems concerning the issue of transgenderism that must beconsidered.

Domestic violence typically tends to be regarded as a crime against women. Menand LGBTs (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people) who suffer violence fromtheir partners have been left out from the domestic violence prevention policy. A recent investigative survey found that some male and LGBT victims asked the DV Center for help. However, a major institutional problem is that the DV victim center was originally set up on a former existing women's support center. The definition of a sex crime is also a problem. Rape is defined as a behavior in which a man rapes a woman. The fact that there is little understanding among support staff is a major problem as well.

筆者は日本におけるレズビアンの経験・生活を分析するにあたって、その背景となる理論を確立する過程で、英文で書かれた日本の同性間セクシュアリティに関する研究が、数人の研究者によるものによって占められている状況に直面した。それらの英語文献における主張は、日本における同性愛に対する寛容さ、セクシュアリティの多様さ、さらにアイデンティティの一貫性のなさを想起させるものである。本稿ではそれらの主張および、日本の同性間セクシュアリティの一般化に対して意義を唱える。第一に、日本の同性愛に対する寛容さが誇張されることで、ジェンダーによる不平等やレズビアンに与えられるスティグマの問題をいかに無視しているかを示す。第二に、日本におけるアイデンティティの一貫性のなさという主張は、「西洋における一貫したアイデンティティ」を誇張することで可能となっており、アイデンティティに関する論考の対象が個人なのか集団なのかを混合したまま比較している、という分析レベルに問題があることを指摘する。これらの問題含みの主張や、日本のゲイ・レズビアン運動や活動家らは柔軟性がなく、西洋の真似に過ぎないという彼らの批判は、ある種のオリエンタリズムを反映しているとも考えられる。英語話者による日本のジェンダー・セクシュアリティ研究のコミュニティにおいては、見解の多様化を奨励し、日本におけるクィアな人々の経験や生活についての実証研究を推進して行くことが急務である。

This paper aims to discuss the works of Josef Breuer and Sigmund Freud dealing withhysteria in which the predominant analytical methods of psychoanalysis of the twentiethcentury are established. It is important to focus on the fact that this therapeutic relationship isbetween a male analyst and a female patient in discussing hysteria because the gender aspectwill be investigated here from a feminist perspective. A joint work of Breuer and Freud, Studies on Hysteria (1895), and Freud's Fragment of anAnalysis of a Case of Hysteria (1905) which is also known as Dora will be examined in thiscontext. Gender studies regard hysteria, specifically in Freud'ian psychoanalysis, as beingtypically a female condition. There was a 21 year old woman named Anna O. who underwent psychological treatment with Breuer. From this "talking cure", language became an importantmedium for analyzing the unconscious. As another example, Dora was 18 years old when shewent to Freud's clinic. A psychological model of hysteria is developed by Freud primarily fromhis masculine perspective, though many patients are female. Thus Freud interprets Dora's symptoms mainly from a male point of view and wrote about it in his Fragment of an Analysisof a Case of Hysteria. The development of an identity for the patient Dora becomes problematicin the end. It ought to be asked why the sexual distinction drives the analyst's power over thefemale patient. This paper investigates a possible reason for such differentiation in the function of "libido" and the difference forms of "expression" in language between man and woman; analyst andpatient. As a theoretical basis, Luce Irigaray's This Sex Which Is Not One (1977) will be used. Lastly, the problem of gender and hysteria discourse is discussed using the case of an Austrianauthor, Ingeborg Bachmann, who wrote a fragmented novel called The Book of Franza (1965/66). The novel shows an example of how the relationship between man and woman,analyst and patient, can be tied to power.

There is abundant research on the way women' s images have been portrayed intelevision dramas with regard to the issue of women and the media, but yet few of these studies focus on _asadora_, the early morning television series on NHK in Japan. This series has played a major role in shaping the image of Japanese women to the present day, portraying the life of a woman as she grows from being a daughter, a wife to a mother. By identifying the components and characteristics of _asadora_, this paper will explain not only how this genre started but reconfirm its content and the heroine's image. The paper will also focus on the turnabout of _asadora_, and discuss if and how it is related to female viewers. Based on previous research, asadora was initially intended as a literary program, but it seems that its content was changed after the highly popular _Ohanahan_ series was broadcast in 1966. In this paper, I clarified the changing form by revisiting the television drama andarticles from selected 60's magazines. In conclusion, the reason of the conversion isstrongly linked to the fact that the majority of the audience is female. The _Ohanahan_ series in 1966 had a tremendous response from female viewers, most of whom were housewives. This was largely due to the social background of the 1960's. The division of labor that resulted from this period of high economic growth in Japan gave rise to increasing numbers of "modern housewives." _Asadora_ has since shifted its theme to the 'biography of a woman' , in particular constructing the typical _asadora_ heroine: the cheerful and reliable mother who always sacrifices herself for the family. This kind heroine and the similar story lines became the paradigm of _asadora_ as known by the general public today. The conversion is an extremely important clue when contemplating the later works of _asadora_.
