Herbivore Masculinities in Post-Millennial Japan
Social changes, such as a stagnant economy and the uncertainty of securing stable employment, have altered the social landscape of contemporary Japan. Charlebois conducts an analysis of the emergence of herbivore masculinity within this period. Unlike their more aggressive “carnivore” counterparts, herbivore masculinity refers to men who are more passive in their personal and professional lives. In contrast to an era when acquiring a car and invo…
Japanese Femininities
The corporate salaryman and professional housewife stand as hegemonic archetypes of masculinity and femininity in Japan. However, these rigid gender roles are being challenged by women who are seeking to move beyond the strictly defined confines of their traditional roles as caregivers and homemakers. Through interviews with a range of Japanese women, this book explores how women’s gender roles are both reified and undermined in Japan today, and …
The discursive construction of 'bounded masculinity/unbounded femininity
The end of World War II saw the emergence of a gendered division of labour in Japan where ‘salarymen’ committed themselves to their workplaces, while ‘professional housewives’ devoted themselves to domestic work and childcare. Masculinity can therefore be seen as ‘bounded’ since social norms constructed men as family breadwinners. On the other hand, femininity can be seen as ‘unbounded’ in that women were released from the pressure to assume a br…
The discursive construction of femininities in the accounts of Japanese women
This article presents findings from a study investigating the gendered interpretative repertoires or ‘ways of seeing the world’ that a group of Japanese women drew on as they discursively constructed their gendered identities during semi-structured interviews. The study draws on critical discursive psychology which views language not simply as a window into people’s minds, but as a discursive resource which individuals utilize to perform various …
Miyako Inoue , Vicarious language
Miyako Inoue , Vicarious language . Berkeley, CA: University of California Press, 2006. Pp. xi, 323. Pb $24.95. Japanese Women's Language (JWL) is not a new topic of research in the social sciences, but Miyako Inoue's Vicarious language is an original contribution to the field. According to Inoue, women's language references linguistic forms distinguishing the speech of women and brings with it certain connotations of “femininity” such as politen…
Community of Practice Involvement Obligations
One way of studying group involvement is through the paradigm of communities of practice (CofP) (Lave 1988, Lave & Wenger 1991). Students on university campuses are simultaneously members of various CofPs. This article investigates the CofPs Japanese students were involved in while studying in the United States. It found that the whole notion of CofP involvement is framed (Bateson 1972; Tannen & Wallet 1993) differently by Japanese. Specifically,…
