LIFE STORIES OF MEAT AND LEATHER WORKERS AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF A DISCRIMINATED IDENTITY

在这篇文章中，我介绍了屠宰场工人(一种经常隐藏在更一般的肉类相关行业中的工作)和皮革工人(如制皮工、制鞋商和鼓匠)的生活故事的积累。通过这些生活故事，我审视了人们身份的形状和形式，以及当今歧视态度的轮廓，将其与Hisabetu-Buraku居民、不再住在Hisabetu-Buraku的人和从未在Hisabetu-Buraku生活的人的生活联系在一起。第一部分是一篇从上述问题入手的文章，考察了今天的Hisabetu-Buraku的各个方面。此外，这部分工作介绍了工人的生活史和个人面临的困难的具体方面。第二部分包括1.肉类加工设施(肉类中心)的员工和相关人员的生活故事访谈的文字记录和分析；2.皮革…我计划对我的方法做一个更全面的分析；然而，我有几个初步的观察，我想在这一点上分享。其一，象征着避免皮革和肉类工业并使之合法化的话语，已经从以“肮脏”或“环境问题”为中心的话语，转向以珍视生命和保护动物等“教育问题”为中心的话语。最近的这种转变是悄无声息的，与素食主义和动物权利运动的出现交织在一起，在美国也是如此，美国长期以来一直美化肉类消费。第二点：经常被认为是歧视根源的“Buraku行业”已经迁出了遭受歧视的地区，这一举动揭示了这些行业与歧视之间的持续联系。这种情况在肉类和皮革行业工人对歧视的看法上发生了变化。较少

In this paper, I present an accumulation of life stories of slaughterhouse workers (a type of job frequently hidden within the more general meat-related industries) and leather workers such as hide-tanners, shoe-makers, and drum-builders. Through these life stories, I examine the shape and form of people's identities and the contours of present-day discriminatory attitudes, drawing connections with the lives of Hisabetu-Buraku residents, people who no longer live in Hisabetu-Buraku, and people who have never lived in Hisabetu-Buraku.The book is comprised of two parts. The first part is an essay which works from the above problematic and examines aspects of present-day Hisabetu-Buraku. Further, this portion of the work introduces concrete aspects of workers' life histories and difficulties that individuals face. The second part is comprised of the transcripts and analyses of life story interviews of 1. employees of and people related to meat packing facilities (Meat Center), 2. leather … More tanners, and 3. cobblers.I plan a fuller analysis of my methodology ; however, I have made a few preliminary observations I would like to share at this point. One, the discourse that symbolizes and legitimizes the avoidance of leather and meat industries has shifted from one centering on "kegare (filth)" or "environmental issues" to one centering on "educational issues" such as valuing life and protecting animals. This recent transformation has been a quiet one, intertwined with the appearance of vegetarianism and animals rights movements here and as well in the United States, a country which for a long time glorified the consumption of meat. A second observation : "Buraku industries," frequently held to be the source of discrimination, have moved out of areas that have been subjected to discrimination, and that move has revealed the continued connection between these industries and discrimination. This situation is observable in changes in the ways that meat and leather industry workers perceive discrimination. Less
