Do we need the concept of “power” in doing historical sociology of discourse? Three years ago, I described the formation and transformation of discursive space of sexuality, especially masturbation, in modern Japan. While some have analyzed this using the concept of “discursive power” toward children and women, I argue here that such explainations are inadequte by analyzing the transformation of discourse on female masturbation and virginity.

This article examines the relation between experts and the public on “Detergent Issue” from the perspective of the public understanding of science. It will be shown that in a dispute over the use of a synthetic detergent, there was a discrepancy between the scientific explanations offered by experts and the disquiet, concerns and experience of the public at large.

This paper aims at the analysis of de-self-labeling process in social interactional processes on the assumption that social-labeling can be transformed into self-labeling, and that it is possible for a self-labeled person to break away from the self-labeling process. Self-labeling is an interactional process that can oppress the self-identity of a labeled person, so the de-self-labeling process for him is a reconstruction process of his self-identity. This paper considers two types of de-self-labeling processes that correspond to two types of self-labeling (α/β). This paper is an attempt to extend labeling theory using the key concept of de-self-labeling.

We, as Sociologists or as Laymen, often explain human conducts using categories, as in “A does X, because A is woman”. But as Harvey Sacks showed, we have at least two (collections of) categories that can correctly be applied to any member of society. “Sex” and “Age”. So, here is one problem. How can we, especially as sociologists, justify explanations such as the example? Sacks's answer is: By analyzing the orientations that members themselves regard as relevant to their conduct. But, again, we do not usually explicitly enunciate the categories that are applied to us such as in saying “I am woman, so I do X”. Here, another problem occurs. How can we access to the orientation of members? This paper will try to answer this latter problem by analyzing data in which sex-categorization is done by members themselves without actually explicitly stating any sex/gender category.

In this paper, I re-evaluate the theoretical implications of social constructivism, which has persisted as the most influential movement in science studies for more than 30 years. Social constructivism has been perceived as being antirealist, a school of thought that denies the reality of the world. Although antirealism has been criticized by scientific realists, who believe that the sciences can define reality whereas religion and pseudo-sciences cannot, the dichotomy of realism and antirealism that philosophers of science often impose is problematic because, in a philosophical sense, social constructivism is neither realism nor antirealism. In response, in this paper I introduce the term anti-antirealism to clarify theoretical claims that the dichotomy of realism and antirealism have blurred.

This article reconsiders the sociological significance of sociologist Howard S. Becker’s liberalist stance. In 1966, Becker presented a lecture entitled “Whose side are we on?” in which he discussed his support for liberalism. However, his stance has been strongly criticized and called “underdog sociology” by Alvin Gouldner and others. Although, these criticisms have insisted that sociologists should be either neutral or a reflection of ourselves, Becker paid attention to the construction of the self as a sociologist within a social organization. Interpreting his ideas in this way provides a perspective from which we can empirically analyze political debates.

Until recently a distinction between history and historical sociology made little sense, but now, with the contemporary tendency to prefer the present reality of the past constructed from collective memories or narratives of one's experience over factual accounts verified by historical inspection, there seems to be a more notable distinction between the “sociology of history” and historical sociology.To grasp the situation with respect to sociological methods as whole, this article introduces some presentations from workshops and symposiums organized by The Kanto Sociological Society during the last two years. We argue the interaction between historical materials and the sociological imagination and the reflexivity of historiography and “lived history”.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the relation between ‘Sciences of Complexity’ and ‘Social System Theory’ To date, numerous attempts have been made by sociologists to demonstrate what Parsons, T. and Luhmann, N. intended in their theory. But little attention has been given to an examination of the relation between ‘System Theory’ and their ‘Social System Theory’. Therefore I will attempt to clarify the following three issues. The first issue to be discussed is a survey of the history of System Theory, specifically, I would like to point out that Sciences of Complexity ensues from Bertalanffy's General System Theory. The second issue is to demonstrate which aspects of System Theory Parsons and Luhmann introduced into their theories. Finally, I will describe the present state of ‘Social System Theory’ and ‘Sciences of Complexity’.

In the present essay, Jürgen Habermas's early sociological works will be examined in two respects: on the one hand, their stratified relationships to the conceptual constructions of Carl Schmitt and Rüdiger Altmann; on the other, his understanding of historical development in eighteenth-century England. The analysis through these two subjects maintains that the core of his conceptualization of the civil/bourgeois public sphere consists in the articulation between institutionalized political powers (not only government, but also parliament) and private citizens who generally criticize political affairs. In addition, the essay will also argue that his diagnosis of modern society depends especially on his critical attitude of intermediary organizations which attempt to affect political processes without public control in the re-politicized social sphere that emerged after the disappearance of the liberal distinction between the public and private realm.

This paper explores the interconnection between war and tourism, focusing on the “Rest and Recuperation (R&R)” program of the U.S. Army during the Korean War (1950–1953). The R&R program was a system that provided military personnel with a five-day period of leave to Japan for every six or seven months of frontline service. First, I argue that the idea of limited wartime service originated from scientific research on war neurosis (or combat fatigue) and the U.S. Army’s recreational services called “Special Services” during the Second World War. Second, I analyze how the Japanese tourist industry and GHQ/SCAP worked together to provide recreational services for U.S. armed forces stationed in Japan and other Asian countries. Finally, I consider the possibility that the R&R program had negative effects on morale, discipline and combat efficiency.

Yanagita Kunio clarified that the word “Senzo” (Japanese traditional concept of ancestors) is used in two different meanings in his “Senzo-noHanashi” (1946). One meaning is the founder of “Ie” (the stem family), and the other is all of its deseased members. This paper points out that his study was based on his formula on the the relations between “Ie” and society. He regarded social mobilization in modern Japan as a serious problem to the eternal continuation of “Ie” and the society which is organized by “Ie” s. This problem let him pay attention to two meanings of “Senzo”. Through the reviewal of his studies, we will try to find a possibility to build a new hypothesis about the relation between social mobilization and ancestor worship in modern Japan.

The purpose of this paper is to clarify the manner in which the psychological concept of “moratorium” is used within the Japanese discourse on youth. In recent years, the general discourse in Japan on youth has been criticized for being non-empirical. However, even though this discourse is not based on empirical data, it still contains a certain authenticity and it is accepted as authentic by the general public. I present a conceptual analysis of the psychological concept of “moratorium” in order to describe the nature of this authenticity.

This paper examines interactional processes through which personal difficulties or problems as experienced are defined and through which claims are made. First, I look into the constructionist idea of “claims. ” Then, the interaction between claimants is viewed as a reality-definition contest. I examine and develop the description of reality-definition contests formerly given by Loseke (1987). With an illustration of a case of claims-making regarding “fufu-bessei” (an argument against changing a married woman's surname to that of her husband), I discuss and show how one's experience and definitions of problems are involved and invalidated in the mechanism of reality-definition contests.

This article is based on the data of a survey of Iranians currently living and working in Japan. Using Portes' theoretical framework, the author provides an analysis and discussion of several aspects relating to them in view of their strategies for survival and future life chances. The conclusions presented are that; 1) The group of Iranians living in Japan are composed of differing classes of origin and that there is a significant correlation between class of origin and purpose of coming to Japan; 2) The major factors that affects their working conditons are the point in time in the economic cycle they entered the labor market and the extent of their own social networks; 3) They see the Japanese society through the frames of reference that have been produced in view of their expected life chances; 4) Despite the persistence of the economic recession, some Iranians are gradually becoming permanent residents.

This paper considers who is “Tojisha” (the person concerned) in the problem of “hikikomori” (socially withdrawn Japanese youth). Through critical reconsideration of the definition of “Tojisha” by Ueno Chizuko, it becomes clear that “Tojisha” by Ueno means individuals who recognize and identify themselves as “hikikomori” with respect to their own needs. Then we examine the “Tojisha” in the “hikikomori” problem and point out that family needs are much more expressed than the needs of those who experience “hikikomori”. Finally, we discuss in what meaning socially withdrawn youth themselves are “Tojisha” and we conclude that we can regard the “hikikomori” subjects as “Tojisha” with an alternative formulation of “Tojisha”: ”the subjects who take their experiences not as something anonymous and but as their own experiences”.

In this study, I interviewed people who recovered from eating disorders. This revealed that individual understanding of their illness experiences had changed before recovery and after recovery. Heretofore, the research emphasis in the field of medical anthropology and medical sociology has been on “Illness Narratives” by individual suffering. In contrast, this study has focused on “Healing Narratives” by individual recovery. By showing the sociological research issues found in these “Healing Narratives”, I give meaning to hear the voices of people who have recovered from illness and difficulties.

This paper examines, from a sociological point of view, the religious movements in modern Japan—in particular, the Buddhist movements which proposed to make this world a utopia by the unity of religion and politics.The focus is placed upon the movement started by Tanaka Tigaku (1861-1939) who, before the Second World War, organized the Kokuchukai Society. His movement aimed to unify Japan and the rest of the world by the unity of religion and politics (Houkokumyogo). The movement is, here, defined as “the Nichiren-ist movement of the original theory of national polity” based on his original “theory of national polity of Nichiren-ism”. The special note of this movement is taken to the period of the 1900's to the 1920's.
