This volume brings together research by scholars from history, literature, gender studies, cultural studies, and sociology/anthropology on the meanings and practices of "family", both within the nation-state of "Japan" and in transnational spaces. While the majority of the chapters focus on contemporary society, others look at family in the late-nineteenth/early-twentieth century and the immediate post-World War II years, and its significance to the ensuing periods. Again, while the book's main focus is the "Japanese" family, some chapters discuss the experience and practice of family beyond the borders of Japan, in such settings as Brazil, Australia, and Bali.
The contributors draw on a broad range of methodological approaches, including oral history, interview-based and ethnographic research, official discourse analysis, literary analysis, and analysis of visual culture. Such an interdisciplinary approach means that this book will be of great interest to students and scholars working across a number of fields including Japanese culture and society, sociology of family, gender studies, film and media studies, literature and cultural studies, Japanese/Asian studies and gerontology.
