Formation and Change of the Life-Structure Studies in the 1910s-1930s

本项目旨在厘清20世纪10年代至30年代生活结构研究的特点和问题，并以大原真草郎创立的大原社会研究所为研究对象。对大原社会研究所生活结构的考察，可以看作是对现代工人阶级生活的变迁-过程-分析。它强调工人阶级有自己的主体和对社会结构的批判判断，并试图将这一观点引入其理论框架。问题在于没有找到分析宏观层面和微观层面现象之间中介关系的方法。虽然在这一时期关于社会工作性质的热烈讨论，但它对社会工作实践的影响很小，在社会工作实践中，家长主义占主导地位。在假定社会工作的主体是贫困的前提下，生命结构概念的必要性没有得到充分认识。大原Magosaburo是一位杰出的经理，他将自己的纺纱公司发展成为一家大公司，并创立了一些旨在克服社会问题的博物馆和社会科学研究所。要理解他的思想，我们必须追溯到大地主之一奥哈拉人的经营方式。综上所述，奥哈拉家族的行为风格具有儒家理性主义的特征，这也是奥哈拉三郎继承的。

The purpose of this project is to clarify the characteristics and the problems of the life-structure studies in the 1910s - 1930s., focusing on Ohara Institute for Social Research founded by Ohara Magosaburo.1.Investigation about the life-structure in Ohara Institute for Social Research can be recognized as the change - process - analysis of the modern working class life. It emphasized that the working class has its own subject and critical judgement against social structure, trying to introduce this view to its theoretical framework. The problem is that it failed to find the method to analyze the intermediary between macro level and micro level phenomena.2.Although lively discussion about the nature of social work was held in this period, it had little influence over social work practice, in which paternalism was predominant. On the assumption that the main subject of social work is poverty, the necessity of the life-structure concept was not fully recognized.3.Ohara Magosaburo is distinguished as a manager who brought his spinning company to a big one and founded some museums and institutes of social science which aimed to overcome social problems. To understand his thought, we must trace back to the management method of the Oharas, one of the large landowners. In conclusion, the Oharas' behavioral style is characterized by Confucian rationalism, which Ohara Magosaburo inherited.
