Poetics of Women's Everyday Life : Labour, Things, Language
Get PDFThe “everydayness” of the modern life, “unthinking, mundane reality” as described by Lukács in History and Class Consciousness, is often associated with the reified state of consciousness in bourgeois society. Also, linked with repetitive, uncreative, and contingent qualities of housework, the everyday tends to be gendered feminine, as Henri Lefebvre declares that “women symbolizes everyday life in its entirety” and that women are its “active critique.” However, if women immerse themselves in everyday life so as to be the symbol of it, the question is: how can women acquire the revolutionary consciousness that enables them to perceive, theorize, and alter the everyday? How can women’s creative work such as poetry be both the symbol and at the same time an active critique of their everyday life? This paper will examine how postwar and contemporary women poets writing in Japanese and in the proletariat literary tradition - such as Ishigaki Rin, Chong Chuwol, Park Kyongmi - have been seeking for an alternative poetic language in which they could represent and critique women’s everyday life. Particular focus will be given to the interconnections between women, their domestic work, and objects used for their work, as typically seen in Ishigaki’s famous poem, “In Front of me the Pot and Rice-Pot and Burning Flames” (1959). Whereas Ishigaki follows realistic methods to portray women’s life, Chong and Park, being secondgeneration Korean poets and ever uncomfortably affiliated with the Japanese language, are visibly more experimental. As a contemporary “postmodern” poet, Park argues that in poetic language, words should carefully be arranged and combined so that they cannot invoke sentiments that are attached to so-called “mother tongue.” This alienated state of language, or language as butsu (thing/object), becomes analogous to women’s body, labour, and their everyday life.departmental bulletin pape

Decomposing Romantic Love Ideology : Quantitative Analyses of Love, Marriage, and Birth in 2015 Japanese National Survey on Social Stratification and Life Course (SSL-2015)
Get PDFThis paper scrutinizes on transformation of the romantic love ideology in Japan. The ideology has characterized the modern family by uniting love, marriage, and sex (and therefore birth). The paper decomposes the ideology into two sub norms: the “love and marriage combination” norm and the “marriage and birth combination” norm. Still, these norms are yet to be quantitatively examined. So, data are collected in the 2015 Japanese National Survey on Social Stratification and Life Course (SSL-2015) with 12,007 respondents. They are asked whether they agree that love is indispensable for marriage and that marriage is so for birth. Results are shown as follows. (1) By distributions, about 80 percent agree with the both norms. (2) By comparing proportions, most young males and females relax the norms. However, young females tighten the “marriage and birth combination” norm. (3) As a result, by odds ratios, young males present consistent patterns on the two norms, while young females not. Therefore, mostly the romantic love ideology has been relaxed, but the “marriage and birth combination” norm survives and even revitalizes. This means that the ideology has been transformed and diversified, which may affect future forms of the family. These findings are obtained only in quantitative analyses.departmental bulletin pape
