传统的方法来理解的社会经济，政治和意识形态的影响，大规模自置居所，主要是基于欧洲和英语社会的经验，集中在“财产拥有民主”，社会阶级关系和福利制度。然而，东亚社会向房主社会的转变表明，围绕住房消费的社会、政治和文化习俗更加多样化。许多新的东亚房主社会的核心社会特征是：父权主义国家、“群体主义”、“儒家主义”、家庭主义和集体主义价值观的主张。这与盎格鲁-撒克逊房主社会形成鲜明对比，在盎格鲁-撒克逊房主社会中，住房所有权与公共领域的商品化、社会分裂、私人主义和个人主义精神相联系。本文从社会经济、政治和文化差异的角度来考虑房屋所有权与私人主义、集体主义和个人主义的关系。我们将从英国和日本的研究中汲取实质性的内容，这两个社会强烈符合“房主社会”的模式，但在个人主义和集体主义的社会价值观、公民身份的突出性以及住房传统和实践方面存在强烈的对比。最重要的是，我们试图解决如何住房所有权与住房消费和私有化的价值观和做法在不同的霸权框架。理查德·罗纳德博士科比大学人类科学系环境系，Nada，科比，657-8501，日本Ronald@kobe-u.ac.jp
The traditional approach to understanding the socio-economic, political and ideological impact of mass home ownership, predominantly grounded in the experiences of European and English speaking societies, has focused on ‘property owning democracies’, social class relations and welfare systems. However, the transformation of East-Asian societies into homeowner societies illustrates greater diversity in social, political and cultural practices surrounding housing consumption. Central social characteristics of many of the new East-Asian homeowner societies are; the assertion of a paternalistic state, ‘groupism’, ‘Confucianism’, familialism and collectivistic values. This contrasts with Anglo-Saxon homeowner societies, where home ownership has been associated with the commodification of the public sphere, social fragmentation, privatism and the ethos of individualism. This paper considers the relationship home ownership and privatism, collectivism and individualism in context of socio-economic, political and cultural differences between societies. We shall draw substantively on research from Britain and Japan as two societies that strongly conform to a model of ‘homeowner society’, but which contrast strongly in terms of individualist and collectivist social values, the salience of citizenship and housing traditions and practices. Most significantly, we seek to address how home ownership is related to housing consumption and privatistic values and practices in divergent hegemonic frameworks.
