Social Mobility and Network of migrant in Setouchi Region in Japan

本研究来自于对田岛（广岛县）上的哈姆雷特社会的广泛调查，田岛是位于日本西部本州和四国之间的濑户内海中的许多小岛之一。它考察了自第二次世界大战结束以来那里发生的社会变化。本研究分析了哈姆雷特的产业、就业结构与生活习俗之间的关系，既关注了留在岛上的人，也关注了那些选择离开的人。二战结束以来，许多岛民往返于田岛与外界之间，在南极捕鲸、濑户内海航道（如，连接九州和大坂地区的运煤船）、造船和其他与海洋相关的行业。因此，对于这些岛民来说，旅行是工作和生活中不可或缺的一部分。岛上的每个社会阶层都有自己独特的网络，影响其成员的就业机会和选择。岛上住着 ...更多信息 从江户时代到第二次世界大战，每个村庄都有不同的发展道路。由此产生的每个哈姆雷特积累资源的差异继续影响着战后时期的就业结构。本研究从哈姆雷特村的具体情况出发，从微观和宏观两个层面，考察了战后町村的产业、就业结构和生活方式的变化。本研究的对象来自航海文化，习惯于乘船旅行。因此，本研究所研究的对象是那些流浪是一种生活方式的人，这与以往大多数关于日本战后移民的著作不同，后者侧重于农民，并将在家乡或城市地区的固定定居视为常态。因此，我的工作提供了一个新的理论框架的种子，重新思考移民和定居的概念，因为它们适用于现代和当代日本。少

This study comes out of an extended survey of the hamlet society on the Tajima island(Hiroshima prefecture), one of many islets in the Seto Inland Sea lying between Honshu and Shikoku in western Japan. It examines the social changes that took place there since the end of World War II. The study analyzes the relationships between the hamlet's industries, employment structure, and living practices, paying attention to both people who remained on the island as well as those who chose to leave. Since the end of World War II, many islanders have gone back and forth between the island of Tajima and the outside world, working in Antarctic whaling, Seto Inland Sea shipping lanes(e.g., coal ships connecting Kyushu and the Osaka area), shipbuilding, and other sea-related industries. For these islanders, travel is thus an integral part of work and life. Each social stratum on the island has its own distinct network that affects the job opportunities and choices of its members. The island is home … More to several hamlets, each of which pursued separate developmental paths from the Edo period until World War II. The resulting differences in resources accumulated by each hamlet continued to influence employment structures in the postwar era. My research examines post-World War II changes in the village of Machi as revealed through its industry, employment structure, and ways of life, utilizing both micro-level perspectives taking into account the individual circumstances of the hamlet as well as macro-level perspectives covering emigration and occupational trends extending beyond the island.The subjects of the study come from a seafaring culture and are accustomed to traveling aboard ships. The research accordingly deals with people for whom wandering is a way of life, unlike most of previous works on postwar migration in Japan, which focus on farmers and where fixed settlement either in the home village or in urban areas is regarded as the norm. My work thus offers the seeds of a new theoretical framework for rethinking the concepts of migration and settlement as they apply to modern and contemporary Japan. Less
