JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThis article is a study on the substantiative explication of the social change of local communities on and after the high economic growth in Japan, by establishing types of local communities, that is, all prefectures, all cities, towns and villages. Its basic purpose is the explication about the macro-structure of local communities in our time that differ from the macro-structure in old time understood as “city” and “village”.
In this article I adopt the following indices for establishing types of local communities. - (1) as the criterion of the relatively independent character of local communities, (1) openness, (2) as the character of economic foundation in local communities, (2) level of productive forces, (3) industrial structure. And I analyze the change of the types of local communities established with the synthesis of the above three indices.
As a result of the analysis, (1) in all prefectures, I find that we must understand the macro-structure of local communities in our time as the double structure, that is, the structural inequality between communities with weak economic foundation and managemental-administrative communities, the difference of productive forces in “industrial” communities. (2) In all cities, towns and villages, I find “a pyramid-like” structure of uneven development that has communities with central managemental function at the top, and that has agricultural communities with lower productive forces, communities with weak industrial foundation at the bottom. (3) I find that the difference between in all prefectures and in all cities, towns, and villages bases on deepening of the structure of uneven development among all cities, towns and villages in one prefecture.View full abstractDownload PDF (2412K) -
-Quebec in the 1950's and its ideological mutation-Hidetaka Tanaka1987 Volume 38 Issue 1 Pages 26-41,127

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe present paper concerns changes in Quebec nationalism before 1960, as a prelude to Quebec's so called “Quiet Revolution”. We deal with this question as a part of an effort to construct a more general theory of nationalism. In this view we first examine the concept of ideology from the view point of control in order to set it in the frame of the systems theory. Nationalism is characterized as one type of ideology.
In the second part of this paper, we characterize the 1950's in Quebec as a period of the coming of the traditional nationalism in question. Its inability to handle the problems caused by industrialization is the main reason for criticism. There are two currents which raise questions about the traditional nationalism : one is a negation of nationalism itself, the other is a renovation of nationalism. But politically, these two currents have a common enemy ; that is, Duplessis government, in which they find an incarnation of traditional nationalism.View full abstractDownload PDF (2292K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSStudies of “seikatsu-kôzô” in Japan have been emphasizing the significance of people's social life which is not totally dependent upon economic factors. In this field of study, however, there have not been sufficient discussions concerning an important question : what are the sociological bases to maintain the independence of social life? My purpose here is to give an answer to the question, based on a case study conducted in a consumer city of a traditional type. The data shows that the styles of residents' life are affected by the cultural system and the social organizations, which have been produced under the influence of the unique historical processes in the city. In this sense, we can understand the independence of “seikatsu-kôzô” only when we adopt a historical approach. The historical uniqueness of each local area is reproduced by the developement of the city itself, and is significant because it provides the diversity in styles of life which helps people create a new life-style against an industralist one.View full abstractDownload PDF (1937K) -
-A Critical Development of Luhmann's Theory of Organization-Toshio Okuyama1987 Volume 38 Issue 1 Pages 60-76,126

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSMost of the theories of organization have causally explained the performance by organizational structures, on the premisse that organizational goals are given at any time. These causal explanations have fatal difficulties. Especially there are not such organizational goals that can explain organizational actions sufficiently, by excluding other possibilities of actions. And it can not be supposed that organizational goals are given at any time. The aim of this paper is to present the theoretical perspective, which can afford a more realistic comprehension of practical actions in organization, by focussing on what sort of possibilities of selections are opened for the organization. From this perspective an institutional model is presented. The institutional model throws light on the contexts, which guarantee possibilities of selection in relation to other selections. For this aim we examine the Luhmann's concept of institution and formal organization. As a result, a series of procedures based on formalization (i.e. formalities of selections) give the context, and so various possibilities of selection are opened for the formal organization. Then the differences of components of the procedures create the differences of possibilities of selections among each concrete organization. So selections of some organizational structures-for example selections of organizational goals, and programs-can be realized by the institution of formalization, and these selections realize different possibilities for each concrete organization.View full abstractDownload PDF (2321K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe Japanese society entered “The Consumption Society” owing the consumption revolution in the '50's. From that revolution the Japanese society has changed every 10 years as the variation of the consumption society. '60's was high-mass-consumption society age. '70's was consumer's independence revolution from industries, and '80's is to be called as “Post-mass-consumption society” according to my analysis.
There are three reasons why the logic of consumption became a ruling factor from '70's. First, the accumuration of “Consumer surplus” of intelligence and sensitivity. Second, “the variables of the social structure” seems to have lost its validity more than before. Third, the household is now the place where the lifestyle culture comes out and not the place where only labor power and lives are produced as defined by old economics. And I discuss some sociological hypothesises including Marx's.
In the democratic society where the consumers freely and creatively express themselves through the act of consumpiton, it is necessary to determine the factors of social change in a new way. The society should now be regarded as having more flexibility.
In my conclusion, today's mass-consumption society does not depend on production relationship (Marx's hypothesis) but on consumption relationship. And consumption as the under-system of the society affects much the upper-system ; social culture and consciousness.View full abstractDownload PDF (1459K) -
