  • Beyond Common Sense: Sexuality And Gender In Contemporary Japan

    Wim LunsingBOOKBeyond Common Sense2015

    First published in 2001. This volume is based on the author's visit to Japan in Summer 1986 on his findings about some of the questions he was asked whilst there. He was 25 and these questions centred around asking if he was married or had a girlfriend, when in his homeland of the Netherlands he openly identified as gay. This research is an investigation of how gay and lesbian people, women's and men's liberationaists, singles and other people, s…

  • The Creation of the Social Category of Neet (Not in Education, Employment or Training): Do Neet Need This

    Wim LunsingARTICLESocial Science Japan Journal2007

    With four volumes in hand, I hoped to learn much about a category of people about whom the necessity of a debate had never occurred to me, since I as well as many people in my direct surroundings have had extended periods in their lives in which their situation fits the definition of NEET (not in education, employment or training). My generation belongs to what already in the 1960s was expected inevitably to become a generation with too many peop…

  • Between Margin and Centre: Researching "Non-standard" Japanese

    Open AccessWim LunsingARTICLEThe Copenhagen Journal of Asian…2001

    Marginality depends on the relationship with something that is constructed as central or mainstream. In cross-cultural fieldwork, the position of the reseracher in relation to his informants may be marginal. Informants may be perceived as marginal in their society. Within academia, particular topics of research may be marginalized and funding organizations may not fund such topics. In the case of my research topics of sexuality, gender and sexual…

  • Japanese Gay Magazines and Marriage Advertisements

    Wim LunsingARTICLEJournal of Gay & Lesbian Social…1995Cited by: 4

Unfortunately, gay magazines also present an image that is not entirely positive, i.e., gay men as sex maniacs. Personal advertisement sections play a role in bringing togeth…
