Bun-ya NAKAMURA2000 Volume 51 Issue 2 Pages 188-203

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIn this paper, I will examine the theoretical position of Alfred Schutz's category of relevance in his phenomenological-social theory and the sociological applicability of this category.
Schutz noticed that the category of relevance was important to his own phenomenological social theory, but he did not fully develop this category. For that reason, the theoretical bases of this category were not clarified. In my effort to clarify the development of the category of relevance, I will consider how this category was thematized into “Strukturanalyse der Sozialenwelt” in his book “Der sinnhafte Aufbau der sozialen Welt”.
The main arguments of this paper are; first, the category of relevance is related to the theory of intersubjective constitution of social action and is located not in Husserl's transcendental sphere, but in the mundane sphere; second, this category is related to the intersubjective problem, which consists of the problem of understanding others, social interaction, and social relation. These points at issue are found particularly in the categories of “intrinsic relevance” and “imposed relevance”, which were developed in his late draft “Reflections on the Problem of Relevance”.
Since Schutz's category of relevance is closely linked with the human-community based on intersubjectivity, it is essential in order to investigate the fundamental-theory of sociology.View full abstractDownload PDF (2188K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThis paper reexamines the concept of “feeling rules” through the analysis of deliberations upon emotional experiences in computer-based grief support networks. Media studies have increasingly come to notice and puzzled by the fact that the mere presence of communication technologies in social interaction changes the ways we experience and express our feelings. In this regard, Hochschild's work on feeling rules provides an excellent point of departure suggesting that emotional experiences are regulated by a set of feeling rules appropriate to each setting of interaction. However, like many other studies in the field of the sociology of emotion, it is predominantly concerned with face-to-face interaction without paying due attention to the context of mediated communication as if face-to-face interaction were the prototype of interaction per se. Therefore it cannot fully understand the implications of the increasing use of communication technology in the construction of emotional experiences. In order to fill this gap and identify the role of technology in the organization of mediated communication, this paper supplements her theory of feeling rules by introducing the concept of social boundaries that intervene in the association between feeling rules and settings.View full abstractDownload PDF (1834K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of ascribed status on individuals' educational attainment. This study differs from the previous research in two ways : 1) It employs a measure of educational attainment that takes into account differentiation of higher education (i.e., university ranking); 2) The parental effect is analyzed at the household level, instead of treating father's and mother's effect separately, by examining the combination of both parents' educational background.
The analysis used data from the survey conducted in Tokyo in Nov. 1992, on randomly selected females between 35 and 49 years of age. In accordance with P. Bourdieu' s Reproduction Theory, intergenerational succession of educational attainment was confirmed in the form of school ranking even among those with higher education. However, the association between the parents' education and those of children were not always monotonic. Nonmonotonic associations were observed when the effects of parents were examined using a household-level variable. The results suggest that intergenerational succession of educational attainment carries beyond what we observe simply in the number of years in school.View full abstractDownload PDF (1932K) -
A Comparison between the “Network of Sociability” and the “Network of Care”Reiko YAMATO2000 Volume 51 Issue 2 Pages 235-250

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThis paper aims at showing the relationship between people's socioeconomic status, gender, and their social networks in Japan. Previous studies on this theme have confirmed that people with higher status have more varied networks than those with lower status. However, this paper argues that the-higher-status-the-more-varied-networks thesis is based on the evidences which are limited to the particular aspects of personal relationships, that is, sociability, receiving advice and minor practical help. Apart from these relationships which can be called “networks of sociability”, the present study looks at the personal relationships through which people can attain physical care, that is, “networks of care”.
Our survey data including both “networks of sociability” and “networks of care” is analyzed. The result shows that, regarding “networks of sociability”, the thesis of the-higher-status-the-more-varied-networks is supported by our data too. However, as for “networks of care”, a person's social status has a different effect on their network composition between sexes; for men, the higher his status is, the less varied networks he has, while for women, the opposite is true : the higher, the more varied networks. In the final section, on the basis of these findings, it is argued that, not people in other categories, but only men with higher socioeconomic status have personal relationships which fit in the liberal ideology about modern society : the separation of the public and private.View full abstractDownload PDF (1939K) -
The Suburban Development and Reflections on Melbourne ResidencyTetsuo MIZUKAMI2000 Volume 51 Issue 2 Pages 251-263

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThis paper proposes to discuss some aspects of what we can call 'post-suburbs', which refer to a new suburban growth in the fertile soil of post-World War II suburban boom. In various industrially developed countries, suburbanization has been so extensive that the 'suburb' has become a 20th century urban myth. The 'suburb' has been recognized as the prototype for contemporary living in the United States of America and Australia. Urban policies that enhanced this rapid suburbanization supported the improvement of physical milieu with the resultant evolution of infrastructural supports, including systematic housing construction. After the war, middle-class status exponentially grew, whose value-systems were, likewise related to the establishment of their own home according to the idealistic suburban mythology.
In some metropolises, noticeable sub-centers have emerged on the urban fringes. In the greater Melbourne region, especially, as a result of the growth at the fringes of the 'urban sprawl', in the 1990s, governments at all levels have adopted policies that center upon the 'compact city'. Such a development in the kind of growth in the suburbanization process of the urban sprawl has changed the urban structure due to the emergence of such sub-centers in the metropolitan peripheries. Is it the dawn of the suburban century, or is a just that the suburban era has come to an end? To adequately confront these 'post-suburban' developments, the former view identifies fringe dwellers as a kind of suburbanites because they appear in the extension of suburbanization. The latter focuses upon the new urban form as having come about due to a structural change in the greater metropolitan configuration itself.View full abstractDownload PDF (1639K) -
