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.

The purpose of this study is to examine how recognizing disability can eliminate disadvantages in disability experience by capturing self-recognitions of “Normality” and “Disability” and associated changes in behavior in the narratives of children with developmental disabilities and their parents. Three observations are made: Firstly, with the institutionalization of special needs education, parents’ perceptions of their children’s disabilities were constructed, resulting in a change in behavior. Secondly, differences appear in people’s perception of disability and their behavior based on that perception before and after special needs education. Thirdly, the perception of disability by people living as “normal” people creates a situation where they are unaware of the disadvantages.

This paper explores a new trend in urban subcultures, that of skateboarders seeking public space for their activities. Generally when youth subcultural groups use public spaces, station parks and urban squares, they are under the gaze of local residents or controlled by policemen and security guards. But, the case taken up in this paper progresses to a different situation. In particular, it is about the three-year long movement to acquire “Tsuchiura Station West Park” conducted by ten young skateboarders and a manager of a skateboard shop who conducted a campaign to collect signatures, presented a petition and engaged in various other activities in order to secure space for their activities. They were successful in that they were allowed to use “Tsuchiura Station West Park” for free, on the condition that this permission was granted only until the start of the urban redevelopment of the Tsuchiura station area.

In this article, it is tried to examine the model of ‘collective choice’ presented by H. Blumer as an alternative to ‘trickle-down’ theory, to modify it in perspective of ‘lifestyle’, and to reformulate a new theory of fashion which includes the idea of ‘trickle-down’.This paper is composed of two parts. In the first part, it is explained that Blumer thought of fashion as one of social movements: expressive movement by the mass, and that fashion process meets an area that is a part of a continually changing world through two stages: innovation and selection. Secondly it is pointed out that collective taste or choice underlies ‘lifestyle’, and fashion mechanism in all the areas of ‘life’ is suggested.

The purpose of this article is to examine the trace of the popular cultural studies of Tsurumi Shunsuke. In late 1940s, Tsurumi started popular cultural studies based on scientific methodologies to go beyond the philosophy and philosophical language that had prevailed in wartime Japan and to produce results useful to people. In early 1960s, this scientific-theoretical approach to popular culture was transformed into a practical one to transcend the distance between intellectuals and the people. However, this second approach proved impossible in the face of the appearance of technological-poetical discursive formations in late 1960s. This result indicates the historical limits of Tsurumi's everyday thought.

The aim of this paper is to reexamine Cynthia Enloe's military studies, including her early studies of the military and ethnicity. Contemporary feminist scholars regard Enloe as the pioneer who created the first gender studies of the military in the 1980s. However, Enloe's viewpoint of “women and the military” stems not only from contemporary feminist studies, but also from her early studies of the military and ethnicity. This paper demonstrates that since the 1970s Enloe has consistently maintained a viewpoint that is less an a priori interest in the military qua military and more an interest in military-societal linkages.
