Gendrelization and Social Change: A case study of the Tokushima fishing area in Japan

本研究采用田野调查和半正式访谈的方法，对1900年S至1990年S在日本德岛渔民区的历史变迁进行了初步的研究，初步构建了日本社会性别转型的生活史和社会学理论。主要研究结果如下：1.性别概念化经历了三个阶段，第一阶段：性别角色，第二阶段：性别歧视，第三阶段：男女地位。丈夫(尤其是渔民)有很强的“ie”意识，但他们在日常生活中照顾孩子和料理家务。从1920年出生的S到1945年出生的人中，有许多非常想要男孩的女性。如今，许多父母在生第一个孩子(有时是唯一的孩子)时，更喜欢女孩而不是男孩。在女性中，女孩的偏好比男性更明显。家长(特别是渔民)是用很辛苦的心血来教育子女的，这份报告还未完成，还须包括其他的论据，例如复杂架构的考虑。
