概要: The family has been the most significant subject of enquiry in sociology over many decades, although the family has been reconstructed by globalization. A sociological theory of globalization must necessarily consider both global integration and local differentiation. For instance, discussions about compressed modernity emphasize the plurality of modernity because of the different historical and cultural contexts of each society. At the local level, the nation-state has continued to play a dominant role in relation to the institutional and ideological construction of the family system. Functions that were hitherto part of the family system are being reconstructed within the global system. This paper reviews recent debates about the transformation of the family in modern Asia in reference to social systems theory, and proposes a theoretical agenda about the reconstruction of the Japanese family today. 続きを見る

概要: It has been argued that Japanese legal and policy terms hardly have responded to the growing family complexity in domestic society, as a consequence of divorce, remarriage and stepfamilies. This essay thus discusses the ways in which so-called "compressed modernity" has persistently exerted a normative effect on the concept of family in both legal and institutional discourses. Japan is no exception to the rapid worldwide transformation of domestic society and population characteristics. This is evident in the emerging issue of stepfamilies for instance, including more recently cross-national stepfamilies, which has led to changing perceptions of the family, with an emphasis on their growing diversity and unity. This essay raises a question of institutionalized familism in Japan and argues theoretical remarks on the reconstruction of the family in contemporary Asia within the global context. 続きを見る
