Research Subject and Research Plan for the GCOE Program:
My research subject at present is to examine the paradigm shift in family sociological research in respond to the change of the intimate sphere. Concretely to say, I take various family sociological textbooks from Hungary, China, Taiwan and Japan as case studies, and analyze them from a knowledge sociological point of view. In doing so, I am considering the potential renewal of family sociological studies corresponding to the recent change on the micro-level. In the present GCOE program, I focus on the family change in North-East Asia (China, Taiwan, Japan, and South-Korea), and aim at revealing and theorizing the special characters of this region.
