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: Missionary and colonizing efforts in the South Pacific during the first half of the nineteenth century brought radical c hanges for the natives inhabiting the islands. Along with the supposedly humane improvements from Western influences, numerous negative effects occurred that weighed heavily on the Polynesians, especially those brought on by the missionaries. Spending time in the Marquesas, Tahiti, and the Sandwich Islands, Melville witnessed events that made him question the missionaries’ activities. In Typee there is a clearly defined incongruity between the civilized world of the missionaries and the “primitive” original mode of living that the Marquesan natives retain. The contrasts Melville draws between the primitive Typee and the converted Tahitian cultures illustrate his belief that the missionaries were driving the natives toward a cultural death through the removal of pagan practices and the introduction of the “civilized” Christian beliefs governing Euro-American society. 続きを見る
