A Comparative socio-historical study on family education and relationship of mother and children during the 1920's

笔者对20世纪20年代S时期的家庭教育和母子关系进行了比较的社会历史研究。当民族国家在两次世界大战期间变得更加强大时，他们需要人民具有强烈的民族认同。现代家庭必须培养有用的人来帮助他们的国家。本研究的关键词之一是母亲节。母亲节起源于20世纪初的德国和美国。我的重点是这两个国家母亲节历史的政治背景。母亲节是如何把民族国家的人民团结在一起的呢？母亲节和民族主义之间有什么样的关系？通过比较两国母亲节的历史，我想弄清楚现代世界的新创造是如何被民族国家视为传统和神圣的。我写了八篇文章。五篇是期刊文章，三篇在书本上。两篇文章讨论母亲节的历史，一篇讨论父亲节。我试图通过比较母亲节和父亲节来阐明母亲节在政治语境中的作用。另外两篇文章讨论了德国的家庭和母亲形象。他们解释了德国为什么需要母亲节。此外，我还写了三篇关于日本近代史上家庭教育和亲子关系的论述。我认为当代问题对于历史研究是重要的。

I have undertaken a comparative socio-historical study on family education and the relationship between mothers and children during the 1920's. When the nation-states became stronger between the two world wars, they need their people to have the strong national identity. The modern Family had to bring up useful people to help their nation-state.One of the key-words is Mother's Day in this study. Mother's day was created in the early 20th Century in Germany and the U.S. I have focused on the political context of the history of Mother's day in both countries. How did Mother's day bring the people of the nation-states together? What kind of relationship was there between Mother's day and nationalism? By comparing the two countries' histories of Mother's day, I would like to make clear how the new creation of the modern world has been made to be seen traditional and holy by nation state.I have written eight articles. Five are journal articles, three are in books.The two articles discuss the history of Mother's day, and one discusses father's day. I attempt to clarify the role of Mother's day in political context by comparing Mother's day and Father's day. And the other two articles discuss the family and mother images in Germany. They explain why Germany needed Mother's day.In addition, I wrote three discourses analysis on family education and relationship between parents and children in Japanese recent history. I think the contemporary issues are important for the historical studies
