概要:
Taking the elaboration of social systems theory into account, this paper aims to explore the ways in which the family today can be theorized in social theory. As a result of the functional differentiation of the process of modernization, the

family, as a distinctive functional system, has been given quite particular meanings. In relation to other self-referential social systems and the structural couplings and communications through them, it may also be necessary for the theory to involve a wider range of family organizational patterns while remaining a space wherein intimacy is maintained. The functional approach to the family of Niklas Luhman's social systems theory will account for a radical model of the family. If the family today must be investigated with consideration to its wider dynamic relationships (or communications) with other social components beyond regional or spatial limits in the age of globalization, his theoretical elaboration can be further investigated in that it redefines social systems theory by drawing attention to the alternative traits of modernizations in our society.

概要:
Through a reflection on the teaching of Cultural Studies in Asia, this paper discusses how the teaching of cultures, par
…
ticularly everyday cultures, is a unique opportunity to improve students’ skills in unlearning our social world. Similar to Western institutions, Asian universities, including those in Japan, face a crisis in the humanities as they deal with the rapid (and even unpredictable) transformation of society in the age of globalization. Meanwhile, while tertiary education has played an increasingly prominent role in the career prospects of younger generations, educational institutions are still far from reinventing themselves and offering programs that address the growing complexity of our world from alternative perspectives by facing the increasing anxiety not only among young people, but also among university students and policy makers. Although instructors must understand and respond to the immediate demand of students to acquire practical skills to deal with the complexities of the world, they are also responsible for teaching them how to deal with wordily issues inclusively rather than use their knowledge exclusively and then reduce their alternatives and possibilities for a better future. Given that liberal arts education in the humanities can be essentially regarded as an art of experience and recognition of the reality of our world with its diversity and differences, the teaching of the humanities can be considered the most precious opportunity for students to realize their own contingent status quo, which would result in the development of their resilience and inclusion in life. Cultural Studies is indeed the latest discipline in the long history of the humanities. Its peculiar methods and theories on critical matters have been surprisingly elaborated over the past decades in response to voices that have been calling for the deconstruction and reconstruction of our social world since the last century. In seeking to understand this immediate progress of Cultural Studies and its growth through disciplinary differentiation as a response of the humanities to our society, this paper debates how teaching Cultural Studies can enable students to obtain specific knowledge and resilience skills to recreate their future by increasing their sense of inclusion and openness beyond borders and territories.

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.
