In this article, an analysis of the discourse on the reading is evaluated as the sociological research on the printing medium in order to clarify the communication and the structure of the social group. The study of reading is classified into the research of the practice and the discourse. The former aims to reconstitute the practice through historical traces, and the latter to clarify the thinking style to guide the practice. Both are expected to be accumulated in Japan, where the study of reading is under way. An analysis of the discourse aims to clarify the way of seeing on the reading. Its attempt is also to anatomize a mechanism of the modern way of thinking.

Today kabuki is considered as highbrow. This paper clarifies how the highbrow image was constructed, and shows that the image was not created by the specialists of kabuki. Since the Meiji era, kabuki had been criticized as vulgar and non-artistic. The highbrow image has been created by non-specialists who are unaware of the modern history of kabuki as a lowbrow culture. Now kabuki's highbrow and artistic image has spread widely being propagated by non-specialists. It is said that ‘popularization of highbrow culture’ has occurred in Japan. Non-specialists who are in the majority in Japan have created the image of kabuki as highbrow culture, but they do not have a habit of seeing kabuki in their daily life. It is important for ‘popularization’ of kabuki that the authorization of kabuki rests on those who are not regular viewers of kabuki.

<p>"Ethnomethodological studies of work" may be located as one branch within ethnomethodology and conversation analysis. It is a research program Harold Garfinkel, the founder of ethnomethodology had been concerned with during his later years. Studies of work have investigated how work is conducted in workplaces to feed information about the actual organization of work practices into design of work, technologies, and social policies. Thus, studies of work have been conducted in various interdisciplinary contexts. This paper looks into hybridity, i.e., the ambition to merge ethnomethodological studies with the investigative topics treated within the settings being studied, which Garfinkel introduced as a set of criteria studies of work should satisfy, to reflect on how Garfinkel intended this policy to be implemented. Two studies in emergency medical settings are examined in light of hybridity, and also in light of how studies prompted people to think reflectively about social issues.</p>

Recently the public policy to promote voluntary civic action has been more and more criticized. The rapid and dramatic growth of voluntary action after the Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake resulted in the institutionalization of non-profit organizations, but, publicly promoted and supported, some civic groups have come to make a close connection with the neo-liberal wing of the government. The public promotion of NPO groups has been originally developed through the structural reform of municipalities based on the new public management. But under the new system many groups, especially ones related to social welfare, have been gradually forced to lose their identity as non-profit organizations. In this article, I will analyze the process of the deterioration of voluntary civic action in the government policy precisely to insist on the necessity that it should be “voluntary” again in the true sense of the word.

In the context of sociology in Japan, where ethnic homogeneity has been assumed and vernacular culture has rapidly vanished since the end of WWII, it has been usual that the term &ldquo;diversity&rdquo; has carried a critical nuance. However, recently, in the age of late modernity, &ldquo;diversity&rdquo; has come to be embedded into the logic of global capitalism and the efforts of national and municipal governments that hope to attract fluid multinational companies and a cosmopolitan &ldquo;creative class&rdquo;. The author seeks to articulate the meaning of &ldquo;diversity&rdquo; in this context, and to point out that what kind of urban practices would be excluded in the recent urban redevelopments that have sought to create cities with diverse urban amenities. This paper examines the paradox that some restrictions on what can be done in the urban space are required to guarantee the diversity in that same urban space.

Shotengai (mom-and-pop retailers' streets) have been in steady decline. Shotengai are trying to manage vacant stores and public spaces. The problem here is a framework that separates private space from the public space. This paper analyzes a machiguwa area in Naha city from a historical perspective that seeks to explore how a certain form of “public” land use might overcome the dichotomy between private space and the public space.

Although it is relatively well known that local business owners are active participants in local voluntary activities, we have not had enough opportunities to interpret this phenomenon sociologically. Through a qualitative analysis of one business owners' voluntary association, “Junior Chamber (Seinen-Kaigisho),” and its activity in a local traditional festival, the “Yamakasa” in Iizuka city, this paper reveals both how a local economic network has established a wider civic sensibility and what kind of role it has played in its local community. This shows us the importance of reconsidering the possibility of a form of civic engagement that initially took root in the economic sphere.

Fair trade has been divided into two types; the partnership-type and the certification-type. The purpose of this article is to clarify the fundamental turning point between the two by means of an analysis of the &ldquo;Certified Label Controversy.&rdquo; This controversy has been understood as a conflict between &ldquo;qualitative deepening&rdquo; and &ldquo;quantitative expansion,&rdquo; but this interpretation cannot explain the core of the problem. This article, therefore, presents an alternative interpretation. Here, the point at issue is whether or not commercialism and social justice are compatible. This means that the controversy includes the argument over &ldquo;the formation of orders.&rdquo; In short, this watershed for fair trade arises from a difference of view on the relation between &ldquo;being free&rdquo; and &ldquo;a regard for society.&rdquo;

Previous works concerning the form of exclusive interaction have focused on practices in which the excluded persons are deprived of positions as the “subject”. From this perspective, it is difficult to criticize ambiguous exclusion. Focusing on the fact that the normality of the excluded people is constructed through mutual interaction, I describe the methods of exclusion that are used even when the position as the “subject” is maintained. In order to criticize such ambiguous exclusion, we should be aware that there are alternative methods by which participants can construct mutual normality without exclusion and advocate an interactional culture where ambiguous exclusion is considered to be improper.

This paper explores the relationship between the money medium and the analysis of mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion. Such mechanisms currently follow a logic of plural or multiple inclusion as opposed to assimilation. In a full-grown monetary economy, money and property have emerged as regulative structures for the participation in economic practice. Discussing the approach of Luhmann, a distinction is drawn between center, semi-periphery, and periphery of the economic system. While the money medium includes the general population into the periphery of the economy through consumption, this contribution can show that the inclusionary mechanism of the center is creditworthiness. It can be demonstrated that in its historical formation the form of credit is organized in a twofold fashion itself: to make profit and to promote social inclusion. Microcredits are analyzed as a global form of inclusion into the center that does not bear on the distinction poor/wealthy.

“The Japanese model” is now in competition with alternative models of corporate management. This paper proceeds from the assumption that social norms about companies shared by the Japanese people have influence on actual corporate management. It investigates how many and what kinds of people desire each model, based on a national random sample survey. The main results are: (1) about half the respondents desire “the modified Japanese model”; (2) according to multi-nominal regressions, pessimistic people tend to desire “the modified Japanese model” and people of anti-equalitarianism tend to desire “the U. S. model” Thus, it is suggested that “the modified Japanese model” will be stable in the near future. But in the long term, it is possible that “the Japanese model” will recover if people become more optimistic because of economic recovery. But, it is possible that “the U. S. model” will strengthen if the values of the Japanese people change.

This paper's two questions are: (1) How the discourse of Oya Minoru, who tried to establish crime victims as subjects of rights for the first time, constituted a way of thinking that connected the rights of crime victims to those of potential crime victims, and (2) how his discourse created a field of discourse around crime victim relief.Oya Minoru's discourse produced a field of discourse, in which, on the one hand, all civilians, as potential crime victims, were to be involved in the problems of crime victims, while, on the other hand, the people who had the right to receive crime victim relief were to be screened on an urgent basis. Finally, this discourse became the starting point for the discourse about crime victim relief and support that followed.

The purpose of this paper is to define art through systems theory and in terms of social motivation. On the basis of social function in systems theory, I try to examine the motivation of art as a system that functions in a way that cannot be achieved by other social systems (politics, economy, law, etc.). First, I describe problems with three approaches in previous art studies that do not sufficiently compare art with other systems and their functions. Second, I treat the motivation of art as entertainment from an alternative perspective, because certain social demands cannot be supplied through other systems. Finally, I consider how art influences other systems and themes in contemporary society.

This paper is intend to survey the relation between sociology and communications and to present may own opinion about communication theory. First I'll describe some communication theories focussed on conveyance of meanings. Next I'll claim that sociology needs generative process of meanings. Finally I try to link “agents” with “structure” using the concepts of linguistic terms. It is important for sociologists to pay attention to communication theories because they become cover main fields of sociology more than before.

The purpose of this paper is to examine how the so-called “Liberal” position arose concerning the issue of ethnic minorities in 1960s America. Some earlier research has seen “Liberal” as only the opposition to “Conservative”, and explained that the “Liberal” position in America was established in the presidential election of 1964 in which the main issue was civil rights policy. According to such research, as the civil rights movement became radical in the late 1960s, the “Liberal” began to collapse. But in this paper, to grasp the “Liberal” more appropriately, I focus on the relation and difference between “majority” and “minority” inside the “Liberal”, and examine how “Liberals in the majority” responded to claims of minority. From this perspective, I will make it clear the radicalization of civil rights movement was not the beginning of the collapse of the “Liberal” but rather the critical momentum for the establishment of “Liberals in the majority”, as it were a “Liberal Majority”.

Despite the late introduction of data archiving in Japan, its development over the last 10 years has finally laid the groundwork for serious secondary analytic work. Survey data collected decades ago is, de facto, historical data, and thus, secondary analysis of these data must be approached from a historical perspective. In treating research data in its necessary historical frame, the following three principle dilemmas arise: 1) changing statistical categories, 2) lack of historical perspective, and 3) a tendency to find one's starting point in contemporary values.
