toward a revaluation to the actor's autonomyYutaka Kitazawa1989 Volume 40 Issue 1 Pages 2-16,115

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSGarfinkel used concepts of reflexivity and the member's judgemental work to show how these construct mutual understanding and social reality. Insofar as reflexivity means that the rationality of action and its sense must be treated as the outcome of each action or its accomplishment, the ground for doing what they are doing can be determined only by its own particularity. Most social action theories are based on social norms, but any thought of the member's compliance to social norms neglects this reflexivity of action. Then it does nothing but bring uniformity to the social life. And these theories make the member of society a judgemental dope.
However, Garfinkel argues that all aspects of social action and real society can be assigned to vitality and diversity by judgements unique to individual actors which are made in light of particular actions and events as of any particular moments. These judgements rest on ad hoc considerations, that is to say, such considerations as et cetera, unless, let it pass and factum valet. Ad hoc considerations that are constituent parts of a common sense knowledge does not restrain member's actions but is used to make sense of action and positively constructs a social reality.
In sum, the member of society decides actions of his own accord and constructs the life world. For that reason, it is the common sense knowledge which is the fundamental resource for making an autonomous judgement.
From this viewpoint, I suggest that ethnomethodology claim to return to any actors' autonomy or voluntariness which sociological theories have failed to accommodate because they have emphasized the restraint of social norms. In a word, ethnomethodology may safely be called humanism.View full abstractDownload PDF (1748K) -
a perspective from the internationalization of capital and laborNobuyuki Yamada1989 Volume 40 Issue 1 Pages 17-30,115

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA recent study of labor problems is demanded to grasp existence and consciousness of workers totally and theoretically. And in this total analysis the internationalization of capital and labor need be taken into account. It is because many larger corporations become transnational and part of workers are immigrants in most developed countries. In this paper industrial relations concept is sophisticated as the total theoretical framework and the synthesis of world-system theory and articulation theory is applied as the other framework to analyze influences of the internationalization. Through those frameworks the internationalization and its influences are manifested in the context of industrial relations. The internationalization of capital and labor is a “counteraction” of employers against workers. By the medium of the articulation of modes of production, its effectiveness linkes capital-labor relations at the core to those at the periphery and changes industrial relations at both positions toward the side of employers. It is presented at abstractive levels.View full abstractDownload PDF (1645K) -
a hypothesis testing on alcoholismShinji Shimizu1989 Volume 40 Issue 1 Pages 31-45,114
Published: June 30, 1989
Released on J-STAGE: November 11, 2009
JOURNAL FREE ACCESSAs a community medical care is gradually advocated and in fact practiced, the attitude of general population in a community toward the mentally ill has become one of the central issues in various fields, such as social psychiatry, social welfare and public health. It is the case of sociology as well, and some sociologists try to go further to analyze the psycho-social mechanisms behind openly expressed attitudes by general population.
This paper is proposed to test three hypotheses which have been established through literature research. They are concerning factors influencing over people's acceptive attitude toward alcoholics, and are labelled as (1) the hypothesis of knowledge, (2) the hypothesis of contact and (3) the hypothesis of relationship.
The test sample is drawn from the general community survey conducted in Akita prefecture in 1978. The test results show rather rejective data to the knowledge hypothesis, rejective to the contact hypothesis and generally supportive to the relationship hypothesis, although these findings are not necessarily based fully upon statistical verification.
Two issues reflecting the above mentioned results are discussed. The problem of why people in a closer relationship with alcoholics tend to show an acceptive attitude is discussed in terms of the traits deriving from primary group relationship and the topic of what is substantially “therapeutic” is dealt by spelling out the four attitudinal types, (1) acceptive, (2) restrictive, (3) permissive, (4) rejective, obtained by crossing two variables, tolerance to and involvement in alcoholics. The attitudinal ambivalence often observed in families of the mentally ill is additionally refered to.View full abstractDownload PDF (1698K) -
from Gouldner to Habermas and/or FoucaultKojiro Miyahara1989 Volume 40 Issue 1 Pages 46-59,114

JOURNAL FREE ACCESS“Sociology of sociology”, popular in the 1970's, brought about certain disillusionment with the ability of sociology to attain unbiased knowledge of the social world. It facilitated efforts for a radical reformulation of basic concepts such as “ideology” and “intellectuals”. This paper focuses on the works of A.W. Gouldner, a representative figure in the “sociology of sociology”, so that recent arguments about “ideology” and “intellectuals” represented by J. Habermas and M. Foucault may be better explicated.
Gouldner's works on the “reflexive dimension” of social theory thematized the ubiquity of ideology in sociology and the class nature of intellectuals by way of a radicalization of Mannheimian idea of the existential determination of knowledge. Gouldner's project also represented a crosspoint where attempts at the “reconstruction” (Habermas) and the “deconstruction” (Foucault) of the “ideology” concept meet and diverge. By introducing Gouldner's works as an “additional line”, we can better grasp various problems in the recent arguments surrounding the concepts of “ideology” and “intellectuals”.View full abstractDownload PDF (1621K) -
