Searching for An Alternative Strategy in Studies of Social Stratification and Social MobilityNobuo Kanomata1993 Volume 44 Issue 3 Pages 246-261

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSStudies of social stratification and social mobility, especially those aiming at empirical examination of the industrialization theses, have largely employed variable-oriented strategy. The emphasis of variable-oriented strategy has resulted in a mass of inconsistent empirical findings and a paucity of theoretical consideration to hypotheses. The widening of property differentials in late 1980's Japan owing to the sharp rise of land prices has renewed two important (yet unsolved) questions : how much have property differentials expanded and how do we explain the differentials. These substantive and theoretical questions are indeed testimony to the failure of variable-oriented strategy.
This paper proposes a new approach to analyse property differentials. First, we shift our analytical priority from the occupational prestige dimension to that of substantive differentials. Second, keeping the existence of other important factors in scope, we allocate our effort to producing theoretical hypotheses concerning mechanisms of the widening property differentials.View full abstractDownload PDF (1818K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSWilliam Wilson pointed out in his book : The Declining Significance of Race, that studies of Blacks in the U.S. have placed too much emphasis on the micro perspective, and that the micro analysis loses its grip on reality when it has little reference to the macro social structure. Wilson's point is well taken, but my research leads me to believe that he has gone too far in discounting the importance of the micro perspective. The aim of my paper is to describe how the characteristics of racial and ethnic group relations in the contemporary U.S. society are rooted in the macro structure. My conclusions are based on my field study in the Samoan community in San Francisco 1990-92. The macro structure of contemporary American society is best characterized in socio-political terms as liberal pluralist system ; it is not a racist system ; it has a large degree of inequality. The lower class, excluded from resources as well as from the opportunity for upward mobility, seeks security by organizing into ethnic or racial groups. The lower class ethnicity is very different from that of middle class. It is based on the strategy of the “have-nots” who organize such resources as they have-fellowship, mutual trust- so that they can compete with the “haves”. In contrast, middle class ethnicity is individual ; it does not depend on group affiliation. This difference in life-style creates another source of conflict between the two classes. The lower class tend to fall into a hard-to-understand, sometimes even hostile way of life in the eyes of the middle class. This often gives the middle class a good reason for prejudice against the lower class. It is another aspect of Myrdal's “accumulation of discrimination” which makes upward mobility more difficult for the lower class.View full abstractDownload PDF (2259K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSMaximilien Robesplerre, who had held an immense political power as a Jacobin leader of the French Revolution and declined suddenly and easily by the Coup d'Etat of Thermidor in the summer of 1794, seems to have identified himself with the figure of the legislators in antiquity whose history fascinated this revolutionary as a young student through the reading of Plutarch or of Jean-Jacques Rousseau and continued to be related by him on many occasions since the beginning of the Revolution. He may have also known that a lawmaker, as was the case of Lycurgus of Sparta or Romulus of Roma, is subjected almost necessarily to the collective violence or persecution at the moment when (or more precisely because, it may be said) he brings the law or the norm to his community. Thus locating Robespierre among the “extraordinary” (so Rousseau-called) lawmakers will afford not only an interpretation of the historical affair but several sociological implications : verification of Rene Girard's thesis on violence and social order, comprehension of Weberian type of charismatic domination not as deriving from leader's own mysterious quality but as based on the situation of a community which expects the realization of any order or stability beyond the crisis of dismemberment, and reconfirmation of Durkheim's concept of the“effervescence collective”as a violent process of producing of the sacred and finally reconstituting of the social. In spite of reticence by the founder of the modern French sociology, who was also obliged to respect the principles of 1789 as one of the eminent spokesmen of the Third Republic, about the bloody aspect of the Revolution as well as the death of Robespierre, the French Revolution, especially the Coup d'Etat of Thermidor will present us a precious clue in constructing a religious sociology of the politics or a political sociology of the religion.View full abstractDownload PDF (1915K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSL' objectif de cet article consiste ã repenser la modernité en terme d'autrui et de la représen-tation d'autrui. L'autrui est un être ambivalent qui se trouve aux confins de la sociétéII met la société en état dynamique, mais dans la mesure où le choix d'une personne “autre” reste aléatoire, l'ordre social n'est pas stable. Pour que l'ordre soit plus stable, it faut fixer l'image de cet autrui. C'est ainsi que se constituent les differents types de rapport à autrui. Les sociétés hautement hiérarchisées écartent la présence d'autrui en tant pu'être ambivalent et réent un univers à part;ceux qui appartiennent aux autres castes apparaissent comme êtres radicalement diffèrents dans cet urivers. Les sociétés modernes valorisent, au contraire, l'ambivalence d'autrui et s'ouvrent à l'extérieur. Ainsi, à part l'Individu, l'acteur idéal de l' échangemarchand et être ambivalent par excellence, le Sanvage et les strangers deviennentles images d'autrui propres aux sociétés modernes.View full abstractDownload PDF (2121K) -
The Semantics of Social ChangeGaku Doba1993 Volume 44 Issue 3 Pages 314-329

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe high complexity of modern societies is maintained by “love” as well as “power” or “money”, which are called “generalized symbolic media of communication” by Niklas Luhmann. Based on Luhmann's theory of media, this paper tries to make clear the roll of love as a medium of communication in the process of industrialization and modernization of societies.
The media-theoretical model of social change does not assign the mechanism of social change to the micro level (psychological system) or the macro level (social system), but to the media of communication which link each level through thier meanings. That is, the theory assumes that the semantical change of media gives rise to the change of social structures. Based on this assumption, this paper explains that the birth of modern families in Western societies, whith is a distinctive feature of industrialization and modernization, was a fulfillment of the autonomy of love as a medium of communication through its semantical changes.View full abstractDownload PDF (1809K) -
