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.

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.

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.

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 present a new perspective of shared reality theory. Sharing realities, that is to say, a shared orientation toward and acting together in the world with others has been conceived substantialistically. However, some problems remain. The paper organizes ideas for thinking about sharing reality through an examination of some major discussions about “cognitive polyphasia” in social representations studies. In this way, a relationalistic perspective on shared reality theory will be presented.

Two questions are raised about Hannah Arendt's theory of the public (publicness). First, could “action” be to perform with violence boundlessly and unpredictably? Second, how is the public realm as the common world that “gathers us together and yet prevents our falling over each other” constituted? To address these problems, this paper aims to clarify the constitution of common world and reinterpret her theory of the public. The main subject is to take up her concept of “power” and “promise” in order to clarify the constitution of common world. It is constituted through both avoiding violence of “action” by “promise” and keeping “power”. We interpret this trait on common world as the “limits” to violence, and read Arendt's actual warning to “action” that leads to extreme violence.

The purpose of this paper is to describe the struggles in the physical examination for conscription between draft dodgers and Japanese army surgeons. The draft dodgers tried to escape from conscription by asserting that they were not sufficiently fit to be a solder. They injured themselves or told false stories about their health situation. The army surgeons tried to recognize draft dodgers. Examination of the documents written by the doctors shows that it was not easy to recognize draft dodgers and surgeons had to face many problems. This suggests that there would have been a number of draft dodgers who in escaping conscription and that the government could not completely control people in Japan.

“Jichitai-shi” are histories edited by local governments. After the Second World War, most local governments have edited their own local histories and have built up skill in this area. Nonetheless, from the 1970s onward there was criticism that citizens were absent from the local histories and that they represented only the interests of the local bureaucracy. Histories have been debating how citizen participation could be increased and how citizens could be encourage to read these local histories. This paper is a reevaluation of local histories from a sociological standpoint and describes the efforts of historians to increase citizen participation in the creation of local histories.

This research attempts to examine how the school oral hygiene system came to be established in the Taisho and early Showa eras. Prior literature has revealed that it was the dental associations rather than the government that took the lead in enforcing that system. This paper therefore sets up a hypothesis that dentist' demands for expanding their authority might have been a decisive factor in the system. Then, using Andrew Abbott's analytical model on professions, this paper examines the institutionalization of a school oral hygiene system as the result of inter-professional conflict for jurisdiction between school doctors and school dentists. From the analysis of medical discourses in technical journals, it is concluded that academic professional knowledge, jurisdictional claims and external forces affected the institutionalization of the system.

The purpose of this article is to analyze how housework is divided between gay partners and to examine conventional theories of the division of housework in heterosexual families.The analysis shows that these theories do not apply to all cases. This is because conventional theories are built on the assumption of a joint family budget and a single-income couple. This does not apply to gay couples where each person has an independent personal budget and both partners have their own incomes.

This paper attempts to demonstrate the concept of discursive psychology (DP) to study talk and texts. DP is an approach that takes discourse such as talk and texts and studies them as social practice. DP characterizes discourse as situated, action-oriented, and constructed. This paper focuses on the idea that discourse is situated and investigates the process of discourse analysis in Gilbert and Mulkay's work as an example. The conclusion is that DP focuses on how words appear to be coherently related. DP has utility in analyzing the effect of words to the flow in talk and texts.

The aim of this paper is to unravel the change in the functions of the high school diploma using time-series variation in the structures of intra-generational mobility.First, we try to set demarcation lines between birth years by examining intra-generational mobility, occupational structure based on the first job, and enrollment ratios in the institutions of higher education. Exploring these three aspects for every birth year between 1932 and 1965, five different phases are inductively suggested. Second, the five different phases are compared with 10-year demarcations to verify the former by analyzing chances for advancement to managerial level. We find that using 10-year phases only shows static and limited results. But result using time divisions developed in the exploratory phase produced results that clearly shown the changing impact of academic attainment depending on the period.

This paper aims to explore the logic of cultural practice in contemporary society by critically re-examining Bourdieu's concept of habitus. Bourdieu presumes habitus of classes as general and transposable, that which unifies varied cultural practices. But, taking seriously the existence of cultural ominivores into account, we need to reconsider his formula. In terms of its socio-historical conditions, Lahire comprehends the social actor as incorporating heterogeneous and even contradictory dispositions at the level of “habitus of individuals”. This framework will contribute to escaping the caricature of the social world seen in Bourdieu and allow the analysis of multiple cultural practices.

This paper aims to delve into the process of the “Zainichization” of “Zainichi Koreans” in the 1980s through the problem of employment as a “Zainichi Korean.” The reason why I focus on the issue of employment is that it is an important factor for the second generation of “Zainichi Koreans” to live in Japan as a permanent resident. It is also an indicator of integration into Japanese society. To analyze the employment problem, I used interview data and articles from famous “Zainichi Koreans” magazines such as the “Sanzenri” and “Uri-seikatsu” which were published in 1980s. I scrutinized this data into the two aspects of “personal effort” and “generation gap.” The most definite finding of this study is that attempting to get a job was not only an “individual practice” for “Zainichi Koreans” but also a “structural practice” which helped to build a bridge between Japanese society and “Zainichi Koreans.”

I produced the digital archive of 10,000 titles of early Japanese television commercials. Some of these commercials contain the elements related to the program. For instance, the cast in the program appears in the commercial, the same setting as the program is used in the commercial, or the commercial is integrated into the opening or the ending of the program. When we extract these commercials from their broadcast context and arrange them in a taxonomic space, the constructed meaning that a viewer at that time would have been experienced is lost. The loss of context can be restored to some degree by supplying textual information but it is almost impossible to do this perfectly. This case suggests that the commercials as they appeared in the flow of broadcasting and the commercials stocked in database cannot be the same semantically. A digital archive is not a transparent box. It alters the meaning of the stored material. We should advance the analysis of such power of the media.

This paper examines the vocabulary of “legitimation” in the funeral business. I examine two movements that have occurred in post-war Japan. Both movements were related to funeral simplification. In the course of opposing funeral simplification, the funeral business experienced difficulty in asserting its legitimacy vis a vis the actors in each movement. In this paper, I indicate the relationship between the vocabulary used to explain the legitimacy of the funeral business to the actors in each movement and its effect in achieving social recognition.

The purpose of this paper is to clarify the logic behind the historic preservation movements in Daegu, Korea. There are many Japanese houses in Daegu that were built in the era of Japanese occupation. This paper describes the logic behind a NGO in Daegu, Korea (CSES: Citizen's Solidarity for Ecological Street) that seeks to preserve these houses. The CSES has organized citizen's fieldwork to uncover "lived urban histories" in Daegu. They have found many Japanese houses. CSES has placed them in context not as part of the Colonial legacy but as part of historic resources. This study takes the historic preservation movement in the context of community formation. The finding is as follows. CSES contextualizes "histories" of the community into life experiences of local residents for community formation.

This paper analyzes how adoptees manage their identity with respect to their biological parents. Previous studies in Japan based on Erik Erikson's psychology of the self theory focus primarily on “telling the truth” by adoptive parents. These studies, however, have not analyzed a diversity of identity management strategies not have they focused much attention on socio-cultural factors. To compensate for this lack, this paper 1) focuses on adoptees experience post “telling” and 2) examines the interaction between self and others such as adoptive and birth parents. Through intensive interviews of ten adoptees, several cases imply that we should reconsider the trend to uniting a child's biological origins and identity.

In this paper, I investigate “job autonomy,” defined as the extent to which employees exercise discretion in their work, and discuss the impact of job autonomy on women's job continuation at the stage of childbirth and childcare. I found out that highly-educated women or women with clerical jobs enjoy job autonomy. If women workers, especially highly-educated women have job autonomy, they can manage their own schedule more easily. This leads to job continuation at the stage of childbirth. Further, this study also shows that length of working hours does not necessarily determine job continuation.
