本論文は,美容整形や美容医療(プチ整形)が普及する現代社会において,それらの施術を受けたいと思う人々の①属性,②身体意識を明らかにする.また,以前行った調査で,美容整形を希望する理由に「自己満足のため」が最も多かったという結果をうけ,③美容実践が,身体を自分の所有物と感じてアイデンティティを再定義するような主体的な経験なのかも明らかにする.25~65 歳の男女800 人に調査票調査を行い,分析した結果は次の通り.①美容施術を望むのは男性よりも女性である.性別以外の,年代,世帯年収,学歴,既婚・未婚といった属性では有意差が見られなかった.②美容実践はあくまでも第一義的に「自分の心地よさ」(=自己満足)のために行われる.自分の心地よさという理由は,美容実践でない行為においても,美容実践を望む人が,望まない人より使用している.ただし,美容実践を望む人ほど「他者」の評価も求める傾向ももつ.③美容実践は,性別と世帯年収に規定される.また自己アイデンティティの再構築を目指すような主体的な行為というより,むしろ「外見の老化を感じる」こと,「身体に関する社会の常識を守るべきという考えを持たない」ことに規定される行為でもある.したがって,美容実践は,第一に「自分」という位相で語られる行為である.ただし,自分の心地よさの背後には「他者」の評価期待が含まれる.そして身体に関わる常識という意味での「社会」的影響は後景に退いている行為である. This paper analyses people intending to undergo cosmetic surgery or cosmetic medical care in contemporary Japan. It aim to explore (1) their attributes, and (2) their body consciousness. The study found that the most popular motivation for cosmetic surgery was “self-satisfaction”. ーFollowing this, the study investigated (3) whether cosmetic practices can be regarded as subjective experiences, which promote the re-definition of identities. The results of this later survey (involving 800 informants) as follows. First, more women want to have cosmetic interventions than men. Other attributes, including age, academic background, income, and marital-status, did not show any significant influence on motivations. Second, some people want to have cosmetic interventions because of a sense of self-satisfaction, however, they tend to want positive evaluations from “others” too. Third, “awareness of aging” and “lack of a conviction to maintain common sense in relation to one’s body” are more likely to inderpin a desire to undergo cosmetic intervention than “the intention to reform self-identity.” Therefore, cosmetic interventions should be understood in terms of “the self,” positive evaluations by “the other,” and “self-comfort.” Although cosmetic practices are social practices, they are not significantly influenced by “the social.”

The Preparing Future Faculty (PFF) Initiative (1993-2002) is a project made possible through the partnership of the Council of Graduate Schools (CGS) and the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U). PFF is a training seminar for graduate students who desire to become professors. The initiative aims to develop useful models for PFF and to disseminate those models nationwide. The author conducted research on the experimental programs of four sociology departments, which were funded by the PFF Initiative in cooperation with the American Sociological Association (ASA). Only two sociology departments had active PFF programs; however, all four graduate schools had components of PFF programs in their curricula and graduation requirements. The PFF Initiative has succeeded in transforming the culture of graduate training. However, several problems have been identified with regard to faculty members. The primary goal for a junior professor is to earn tenure and a promotion. However, participating as partner faculty members in a PFF program may decrease junior professorsʼ research time and keep them from achieving their goals. Because the place of PFF in the professorship is unclear, it is sometimes considered to be a pro bono service activity in which only professors with little interest in aʠgenuineʡprofessorship participate. Using Burawoyʼs (2002) model of public sociology, Pescosolid (2008) redefined the professorship and identified PFF as one of the core roles of scholarship and of teaching. His thesis offered strong support for the promotion of PFF.

The Japanese situation of institutional research (IR) in the university is different from that of the United States because a campus-wide database system has not been constructed. Therefore Japanese IRers expend substantial manpower on efforts to collect data from each faculty member and consolidate them. For IR to demonstrate its true value by utilizing data, I think support of IRer is necessary. The most inefficient work of the Japanese IRer is the basic tasks that should be performed by a computer. Therefore I, a beginner in programming, developed an application that checks for incomplete IR data for IRers. When I checked the IR data of the last year with this application, I found that the values of 4.3% of the cells were incomplete and our IRer understood them. I also checked whether this application was user-friendly by using Fogg’s consumption model.
