    This paper tries to cast a new light on the reading of H. Garfinkel's works and elucidate their theoretical position.
    Since their appearance, ethnomethodological studies have been the ambiguous projects even on the theoretical foundation. We think this is partly because Garfinkel's projects were understood as positioned in the interpretive paradigms. Although we do not necessarily negate such an understanding, we think the core of Garfinkel's ethnomethodology is not grasped by it. We think, Garfinkel's thought lies outside the confrontation between the normative and the interpretive paradigms.
    In this paper, we will examine this point firstly by defining the theoretical position of the interpretive paradigms, and then by elucidating the fundamental mechanism of communication-practices Garfinkel observes and specifies.

    This paper attempts to investigate how we observe 'children' in the conversation process. How is it that an organism can be defined as a 'child' and then treated as such. How do we confirm or revised our theoretical perspective of what represents a child ? The answer to these questions need to be addressed as a prerequisite for any research into socialization. But before attempting to do so, we must first confirm that the entity that we have described as a 'child' is actually observable in conversational data.
    To do so, we can follow the approach proposed by Harvey Sacks, which can be characterised as self-descriptive reconstruction of our practical reasoning, using conversational data as a trigger. We, as members of conversational community, may be able to identify some utterances in conversational data as turns by a child even in the absence of clear contextual clues. It is argued here that this can be achieved by members undertaking a 'conversation analysis' on the basis of 'asymmetrical rules', which are referred to interpretive - constructive rules adopted in a conversation between asymmetrical participants (eg. a child and adult). By the word 'conversation analysis' I mean a series of practices by members to observe-describe-formulate conversations. I focus here on the asymmetrical aspects of conversational structure because they are believed to be fundamental factors in the socialization of children. In this paper, I propose experimental procedures by which we can confirm the observability of 'children' in conversation and also the asymmetric nature of conversation between children and adults.

  • The Case of “Odagahama Anti-Reclamation Movement”

    This paper focuses on how people recognize 'nature' in a conservation movement which is the “Odagahama anti-reclamation movement” in Imabari, Ehime prefecture. Clearing the meaning of this movement, I distinguish nature of Odagahama from nature so called physical environment, because I consider nature as 'Umwelt' of community in its primitive form.Umwelt has an organized social meaning with the relation of the conduct of community member to the nature. For example, history, culture and custom of its community are such one. Through this discussion, we note, for the people of Odagahama, the nature is remembered as their various experiences. Furthermore, we can see the new comers of this movement interact with their nature of home towns, whether they come from Odagahama, Imabari, Ehime or not.

    This paper aims to report on the developing process of a caring system for the elderly and to explain both the common features and the differences theoretically in the two areas.
    First, the prejudices of people and sectionalism of organ have resulted in an immature market of caring services for the elderly in the homes. This is the reason why caring services for the elderly are adjusted not through the market system but through the systematization of various organizations.
    Second, newly established voluntary organizations became engaged in the caring business for the elderly. They had a flexible form asking for members' cooperation under risky conditions and the sectionalism of the administrative systems.
    Third, the linkage of various organizations by the new system has produced additional merits and contributed not only to the continuation of caring for the elderly in their homes but also to the satisfication of the elderly and the families who use the services. On the other hand, the new system changes from a voluntary form into a formal one as its work developes, because the equal and personal human relations in voluntary organizations makes activities limited and inefficient. As the new system becomes the formal one, however, hierarchical and closed tendencies, such as those in hospital and administrative system, are developing.
