JOURNAL FREE ACCESSSocial supporting rates among stratified groups show some kinds of differentiated distributional pattern. I introduce a cognitive model to explain these patterns. The focused process is that the stratified social structure restricts the cognitive bases of people who are providing support, which in turn results in the differentiated supporting rates among groups. We assume that people have the cognitive selectivity in providing support and seventeen selectivity types are determined by the cognitive condition. Among them, two types never produce any differentiated pattern, and seven types unconditionally generate the proportionally differentiated pattern (the upper the group, the higher the supporting rate). Other eight types are dependent on the shapes of the stratification structures. Examining two typical shapes, “pyramid” and “diamond”, I found that ; 1) both shapes allow the inversely proportional pattern and the convex curve (“D-pattern” : middle groups have higher supporting rates), but 2) the concave curve (“K-pattern” : middle groups have lower supporting rates) appears only with “diamond” being conditioned by the out-group oriented selectivity type (out-group demands are prior to others).View full abstractDownload PDF (1643K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSUntil recently, the concept of “practice” has been regarded as to be in opposition to the concept of “theory”. However, practice itself is now being recognized as the theoretical subject, and is often discussed in methodological contexts. In this paper, I consider the reason why the boundary between theory and practice is becoming ambiguous, and investigate the theoretical meanings and political implications of the notion of practice, in referring mainly to the works of Anthony Giddens.
My argument is as follows. First, the notion of practice is concerned with the routine nature of social life, and such routinisation is based on “understanding” in the existentialist phenomenological sense. According to this point of view, understanding is not merely methods of social study, but very ontological condition of human life. Giddens develops such a perspective sociologically and explicates that epistemological separation between theory and practice cannot be legitimated methodologically. Second, political implications. In the modern society, there are no longer any guaranteed normative connections between personal selfunderstanding and conditions of institutional reproduction. Consequently, routine grounds of understanding tend to become relatively vulnerable. Political implications of Giddens' theory are concerned with problems of psychological tension and moral dilemma in such problematic situations, and from this perspective, time-space conditions of understanding are examined as basic grounds of democratization.View full abstractDownload PDF (2009K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSWhat is the beauty? This article proposes that beauty is understood as media. In the term of function, beauty is treated as media that produces relationship between entities, that is, a referential system and an object (person, thing, event, etc.). Beauty as media functions on interaction which constitutes two levels. Interaction in this article consists of not only emotion-body level, but also of communication level. Beauty autonomilized from emotion body level, and functions as a common aesthetic sense on communication level.
In this article, a diet that is taking up in the modern society is analysed by the frame of beauty as media. Confronted with the question of the diet, a good many women want to become a beautiful figure. Those who seriously try the diet purpose to transform a 'fat', 'ugly' intolerable self in the present into a 'slim', 'beautiful' ideal self in the near future. From the viewpoint of beauty as media, this phenomenon is understood as relationship between self on the present and self on the future, between self and others in the social environment. Then, beauty as media will probably bring forth healing and self-transcending who women are unconsciously wishing for.View full abstractDownload PDF (1980K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIn this paper the role of Dongsong associations in urban Korea is examined through the changes of levels and contemporary functions. Two levels of Dongsong associations are identified. One is Jongchinhae, which constitutes the upper layer of Dongsong association network. Jongchinhae is based on unfamiliar membership, so that it can be called as an “inclusive Dongsong association”. The other is a sub-group of Jongchinhae, based on face-to face relationship and brings feeling of relief to each other. Therefore, this level of Dongsong association can be called as a “segmental Dongsong association”.
Also in this paper, identification of urban residents to Dongsong associations is examined.As a result, the Dongsong associations in urban Korea could be defined as an “Association for Identification”. The author believes that this concept can contribute as an analytical tool to comparative studies of urbanization in non-occidental societies.View full abstractDownload PDF (2212K) -
Through The Great Collection of Family Law in Early MeijiItsuko KAMOTO1997 Volume 48 Issue 1 Pages 62-82

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIn this paper I would like to focus on the historical aspects of kokusai kekkon, intermarriage between Japanese and non-Japanese, taking into consideration The Meiji Zenki Mibunho Taizen (The Great Collection of Family in Early Meiji). As the laws concerning nationality had not been established yet in early Meiji, rather than use categories which divide “nationality” of husband or wife, when analyzing intermarriage, divorce, illegitimacy and adoption patterns, it is advisable to use the following four categories in this period.
(a) A Japanese woman marrying foreign man;
(b) Marriage of a foreign man through adoption by a Japanese woman's family;
(c) A foreign woman marrying a Japanese man;
(d) Marriage of a Japanese man through adoption by a foreign woman's family.
Decree 103, which was established under pressure from the British Council in 1873, greatly resembled the clause in the Napoleonic code that pertained to marriage between French nationals and others. According to the latter, the nationality of the husband takes priority over his wife and consequently determines their child's nationality. This reflected “patriarchalism” or “patriarchy”, which was influential throughout France. However, the concept of nationality was not always the same even among “civilized” countries in those days.
Nevertheless, Decree 103 differed from the Napoleonic code on the point concerning so-in laws. Thus, for example, a foreign man adopted by a Japanese woman's family was required to obtain bungen, a social position of Japanese. Bungen was not equal to “nationality” but merely an indication that a person was a member of a Japanese ie (household).
With the use of four above categories this paper will clarify each type of kokusai kekkon at the dawn of modern Japan.View full abstractDownload PDF (2844K) -
